Suicide Squad

Compared to its ilk, Suicide Squad is an excellently quirky, proudly raised middle finger to the staid superhero-movie establishment.

“The Dirty Dozen,” one of my favorite war movies, will no doubt get a 50th-anniversary boxed set next year. Those of us who wait for it can mark time with Suicide Squad, which borrows the same concept and executes it with more lunacy and far less flair.

Like so many of Ayer’s directorial efforts, Suicide Squad feels like it was re-drafted in the editing room. It’s clumsy, disrupted by at least eight different plodding flashbacks, filled with lines of dialogue that cut well into trailers but make zero sense in context, and patched up with an embarrassment of rock-along musical cues.

Writer-director David Ayer doesn’t have the right graphic technique for a comic-book-style jamboree – he’s strictly a noirish-pulp guy – and the characters, all of whom are promisingly introduced, fizzle fast.

A puzzlingly confused undertaking that never becomes as cool as it thinks it is, Suicide Squad assembles an all-star team of supervillains and then doesn’t know what to do with them.

Suicide Squad’s only triumph may be that it manages to make Batman v Superman look better by comparison. Bloated and baffling as that film was, it at least had a coherent aesthetic—a morose aesthetic, to be sure, but an aesthetic all the same. Suicide Squad, by contrast, is little more than a drab patchwork, its stitching the only thing uglier than the cloth.

It’s the kind of torment you can wish on your worst enemy without feeling too guilty, not something to inflict permanent damage, just two hours of soul-sickening confusion and sensory torment.

Просто офигенный фильм про злодеев завтра пойду на продолжение надеюсь не подведёт! Странно почему его так низко оценили?!

The fun I derived from this was due to the interesting characters/jokes/performances than the actual dumb plot. It does get a rewatch now and again for sure.

After watching the movie in the cinema, I was a little disappointed, I expected more. But after reviewing it at home, I came to the conclusion that the film was still a success, despite the incompletely revealed potential. And the potential of the project was huge. It was not possible to reach the declared highest bar, but even so, the film is good enough. Regarding the Joker, Heath Ledger's level was not achieved, but this is not Jared Leto's fault. Here, the Joker does not have a key role, as in The Dark Knight, and enough screen time. There he acted as a very cunning madman, but here he turned out to be just a madman. And in this role, Jared played perfectly. Special effects, camera work and other components are at a traditionally high level for this kind of films. As a result, despite the fact that the masterpiece did not work out, we have before us a funny, entertaining, sometimes even touching blockbuster that is worth watching.

Vakit kaybı bir yapım ne yazık ki. Bir sürü göze batan kusur var. Ne süper kahraman filmi ne de başka bir şey olabilmiş. Aşureye dönmüş yapım...

So bad that it's bad. I watched it several times in theaters, which I'm not proud of. It's honestly kinda fun though :)
