I watched this movie in cinema the day before last. I started to watch movie with low expectations, but I was pretty wondered.
James Gunn is great director and his type of directing is really characteristic. The film combines multiple sub-plots, and really, number of characters that worked togheter is really impressive.
The film has its flaws, of course. Humor is sometimes really forced, there are some holes in the conspiracy (specifically, it's not clear how Blackguard collaborated with the bad guys and how Amanda Waller came back after they overthrew her), massacre at the opening wasn't really necessary and flashbacks could be a bit longer in some cases because it all seems like this a bit messy (although they are really cute).
Despite this being a superhero movie, the characterization of the characters was really fantastic. Their development and relationship and how it all overlaps with their backgrounds and general ideologies. Personally, I liked Ratcatcher II the most because of its touching background and interesting way of thinking. Peacemaker was quite an interesting character who abruptly became a villain later, and his comeback in the end was quite interesting to watch even though let's be honest he was a bit predictable. The character of Idris Elba is similarly formulated as that of Will Smith from a few years ago and it's a clear middle finger to him, but let's be honest, Idris Elba is better because Will Smith as usually played Will Smith while Idris Elba got right into the character.
The film is extremely brutal as it fits for one The Suicide Squad, not the pretentious shame we got a few years ago.
Finally, this is THE Suicide Squad. This is a movie I laughed at, during which I was almost torn by a couple of heartbreaks, which softened me, but eventually awakened in me a glimmer of euphoria. The film is truly full of life and colors and I enjoyed every moment of it. The second best DCEU movie after also very new Zack Snyder's Justice League, franchise is getting better.
Synopsis: Not without flaws, but still extremely entertainming.
