Machiavellian government agent Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) has a plan to deal with the sudden, Superman-heralded “metahuman” threat to the world: coerce the globe’s deadliest bad guys into an emergency super-team. And when Midway City becomes the ravaged heart of a plot to extinguish humanity, that’s exactly what she does, with expectedly unexpected results.

Villains as protagonists working to save the world should have been a strange, delirious treat. Suicide Squad plays it as just another walk in the comic book movie park. It’s a sad, disappointing fate for what could have been one of the more eccentric and fun tentpole films of the year.

3047d ago

“Suicide Squad” isn’t a terrible movie per se, and judged against its forebear ‘Batman v Superman,’ it resembles a shining beacon of coherence.

3047d ago

The latest addition to the comic book genre is darker, meaner and more violent than Marvel’s offerings – but not quite as fun.

3047d ago

Suicide Squad is a so-so, off-peak superhero movie. It chases after the nihilistic swagger of “Deadpool” and the anarchic whimsy of “Guardians of the Galaxy” but trips over its own feet.

The Joker and Harley Quinn steal the show in this DC Comics-style riff on 'The Dirty Dozen,' which shares the same bleak view of superheroes as 'Batman v Superman.'

Suicide Squad is a crushingly puerile semi-pornographic slog.

Director David Ayer ('Fury') brings his eagerly awaited DC Comics-based action noir to the screen, with Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and Viola Davis starring.

3047d ago

There’s no one to root for in this movie, and no one whose prospects we care about. Several plot points lack coherence, and inserted flashbacks add to a sense of the film having been fused into shape in the editing room. It seems that Suicide Squad was done in by its own hand.

But folks, this is a lousy script, blobby like the endlessly beheaded minions of the squad's chief adversary. It's not satisfying storytelling; the flashbacks roll in and out, explaining either too much or too little, and the action may be violent but it's not interesting.

Sadly, Suicide Squad feels like a watered-down version of what could have been a stiff drink.

3047d ago

At one point in the slog that is “Suicide Squad,” Will Smith’s character laments that he and his team of reluctant do-gooders must battle “the swirling ring of trash in the sky.” That’s a pretty apt description of the movie as a whole, too: It’s massive, messy and noisy. And it stinks.

“Suicide Squad” isn’t a movie — it’s a two-hour trailer, a demolition derby of barely explained action and droll quips. If it has a genius for anything, it’s disorganization: What promised to be a Super Bowl of villainy turned out more like toddler playtime.

Almost eighty years ago, Warner Bros. gave us “Angels with Dirty Faces,” starring Cagney and Bogart—proper tough guys—and the Dead End Kids. Now, courtesy of the same studio, we get “Suicide Squad,” and its turbulent travesty of menace. The worst of the worst? Maybe not. But it’s a dead end for kids.
