Review of The Suicide Squad (2021) by Geek_In_Red — 06 Aug 2021

I really loved The Suicide Squad. The Suicide Squad was able to win me over as the best DCEU movie in the first 10 minutes of its run time. The Suicide Squad is unique, not feeling like most superhero flicks before it.

Warner Brothers is no longer trying to copy the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it’s working out really well. The film was able to manage being really dark, without falling into the same traps that the Snyderverse set for itself.

The Snyderverse sometimes tries to be extra gritty in an attempt to stand out, but it can sometimes lead to really boring scenes. That’s a comment I make as a Snyderverse fan. Some other things I liked about the movie were the editing, the cast, and the special effects.

I went into the movie without doubts about the quality of the acting and special effects, but I did doubt the editing would be anything to write home about. Thankfully, the movie exceeded all of my expectations in those areas.

I also think that this movie works as a great James Gunn movie. The soundtrack really works well, something you can always look forward to in a Gunn flick. I was worried about the movie possibly using all its jokes in the trailer, but I was dead wrong.

The movie is hilarious. If I had to recommend the movie to anyone, I’d recommend it to comic book fans, people who aren’t turned off by gore, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.
