Okay, so went and watched Suicide Squad last night..
My expectations couldn't have been lower, i was preparing for the worst. Guess what? I didn't hate it.
Negatives first:
You can clearly see that the WB-executives panicked after the results of BvS, and the final cut seemed like a desperate attempt to lighten up the mood. I'd say something like 30% of the jokes worked for me, and the other 70% fell completely flat. I'm sure, that the jokes that fell flat for me are from the reshoots. Also some of the dialogue was very cringe-worthy.
I couldn't care less about Enchantress and Incubus as the villains. I would have liked to see Enchantress in a better movie, but that is not going to happen now.
Stuff with Harley and Joker was the most interesting part with the movie, but there were huge chunks taken out of that. So it felt very disconnected from the rest of the movie.
Positives:
The performances from everyone involved, were spot on. You can see that David Ayer knows how to direct a large group of actors, and direct them well. The group chemistry also hit home for me.
I'm not completely sold on Leto as the Joker and he has very little to do here, but it's a solid start and he can improve in the future.
The jokes that did work for me, worked very well. Jai Courtney was funny as hell. Overall i had enough fun with the movie, that i can look past some of the flaws in the film.
It's not the Suicide Squad movie i wanted to see, but i had a good time overall. Haven't seen the BvS Extended cut, but this is better than BvS theatre cut.
6.5/10
