Movie: Suicide Squad (15)

Suicide Squad (15) – what’s it about? After a couple of big bads set out to destroy the world and a team of criminal heroes is formed to stop them.

I’m not quite sure why critics are slagging this one off as it’s a pretty damn good movie, but there is something I didn’t like so much about it and that’s that Harley gets all the screen time (with a tad of Deadshot thrown in) and the others didn’t really get a look in and just end up being side-kicks in the background. I’m hoping in the next one some of the other characters get a bit more of leading parts and it doesn’t just end up being Harley and Friends. That said though it’s a good movie, I did enjoy it, it’s typical DC being dark, gritty and violent so compared to the light-heartedness of Marvel it brings a refreshing change…and after Batman vs Superman being ugh it brings DC back to being a beacon of hope on the big screen. Yep so if you want a good bit of violence and mayhem then it’s definitely worth a look, if though you prefer your superheroes being super then you might not enjoy it as much.
