Surpassed Majority Of The Superhero Films Released In The Last Decade
8 August 2021
The Suicide Squad is a 2021 superhero film from James Gunn. He has been behind The Guardians Of The Galaxy and not much else. The only similarity this film had with Guardians Of The Galaxy was the verity of the song choice. Otherwise, this film was completely different.

The Suicide Squad is about a problem developing on the Corto Maltese. The new government is incredibly secretive. The only thing to get out is this certain project called "Starfish." The Suicide Squad is then sent to solve the problem lead by Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) and followed by Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior), Peacemaker (John Cena), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchain), and many more. Also lead by from behind the scene by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis).

I was pretty excited for this film. Right when it start, I had one of those this is really happening moments. I ever read many of the original Suicide Squad comics and watched the Dirty Dozen because James Gunn said it would be sort of like that. It ended feeling like both of those things. The Suicide Squad had the same feeling as The Dirty Dozen because you had no clue who was going to die and it had somewhat of a familiar setting, It felt like the comics because of how wacky some of the villains were. It also had Starro appear in the end which it is hard to not giggle a bit when he is trying to be menacing. This film just nailed the feel. Halfway through the movie, I was trying to figure out who would live and who would die but I really couldn't. I just came to the conclusion, maybe they all will. It is just a really unpredictable movie. The story also made you feel for many parts of the characters. They did have some randomly plugged backstories for some of the characters which one of them felt plugged but the rest felt natural and gave some much needed background to some characters. When it came to the end of the film, that really helped make the characters not feel as expendable as they have felt early on. James Gunn also used some of the characters from the first that were actually good characters. He also used that as background for some character too. Overall, the characters were fantastic.

The action was some of the best I have seen in a superhero film in while. Marvel has just been making all of their action look like cartoon or some hand to hand combat that gets boring after a while. This film did all kinds of stuff, gun action, fist combat, and just had some fun scenes of just tearing through many villains. The action ended up feeling fun and stylized unlike some movie series like Fast And The Furious and Marvel films. Sometimes they used CGI blood which I have never been a fan off and sometimes it does end of looking pretty bad. The action is incredibly amazing though.

The acting obviously had to be good so the characters would also feel attachable which they ended up feeling so that means the acting was also accomplished. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn was obviously good as it has been in the last few movies. Some fo Jai Courtney and Joel Kinnaman. John Cena has started to become a way better actor since Playing With Fire. Idris Elba as Bloodsport was also a fantastic choice. He has honestly never been bad in a movie. Everybody else also did a pretty good job.

The Suicide Squad is the movie I was looking. It was incredibly fun and also had some really fantastic characters even if one of their backstories felt plugged. I would recommend this film to anybody who has fun with action movies and wants to have a good time.
