And when the trailers for <strong>Justice League, Wonder Woman,<\/strong> and <strong>Suicide Squad<\/strong> dropped in the <strong>Comicon,<\/strong> we were excited as hell. But after watching this week&#8217;s release Suicide Squad, I will just say that it <strong>successfully attracted<\/strong> but <strong>failed to engage<\/strong> for the complete movie. Read the full <strong>Suicide Squad Movie Review<\/strong> below.<\/p>\n<h2>About Suicide Squad<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Suicide Squad<\/strong> is the 2016 release by <strong>Warner Bros.<\/strong> featuring storyline from the <strong>DC Comics Extended Universe.<\/strong> It is based on the comics titled the same and is directed by <strong>David Ayer.<\/strong> The movie features <strong>Will Smith, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/legend-of-tarzan-movie-review\/\">Margot Robbie<\/a>, Jared Leto, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Cara Delevingne<\/strong> and <strong>Karen Fukuhara<\/strong> in primary roles.<\/p>\n<h2>Plot<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Superman<\/strong> is dead and after the events of <strong>Batman v Superman,<\/strong> the world has started to prepare itself to <strong>tackle metahumans<\/strong> whom\u00a0they cannot trust. For this purpose, <strong>Amanda Waller,<\/strong> an official is building a plan for a <strong>team of villains.<\/strong> The team mainly consists of <strong>Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc, El Diablo<\/strong> and <strong>Katana.<\/strong> It is to be led by <strong>Rick Flag.<\/strong> Even before the plan gets approval, <strong>Enchantress,<\/strong> a witch who possesses Rick Flag&#8217;s girlfriend&#8217;s body, originally a part of the squad, <strong>rebels<\/strong> and starts <strong>developing a\u00a0machine<\/strong> to <strong>wipe off humans<\/strong> with the help of his brother.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the team is assembled in haste and they all are <strong>injected by an explosive<\/strong> which is controlled by Waller and Flag. If any one of them betrays or tries to kill one another, that person is killed. The usually bad guys now have a mission on hand which they are <strong>reluctant<\/strong> to attempt but still, <strong>they have to.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the trailer of the movie here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"Suicide Squad - Official Trailer 1 [HD]\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CmRih_VtVAs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Story, Screenplay, and Dialogues<\/h2>\n<p>The movie starts on a <strong>positive note<\/strong> with everything <strong>falling into right place.<\/strong> The characters are interesting, the plot pulls in, and the laughs flow in genuinely. The first hour of the movie runs pretty smooth with everything right, but it is the <strong>latter half<\/strong> of the movie, specifically the <strong>third act,<\/strong> where there is <strong>not much substance<\/strong> in the movie. This leads to our conclusion about the writing, that the story is <strong>not completely developed.<\/strong> The <strong>screenplay is flawed<\/strong> and does not completely involve the audience.<\/p>\n<p>However, the <strong>characters<\/strong> are <strong>brilliantly developed.<\/strong> Especially <strong>Harley, Joker, and Floyd<\/strong>(Deadshot). The madness of Harley&#8217;s character is one of the <strong>major reason<\/strong> that the movie is watchable. <strong>Joker<\/strong> is used more as a <strong>subplot<\/strong> to the movie rather than one of the main characters. But he is <strong>intimidating<\/strong> nevertheless. <strong>Deadshot<\/strong> is the one with the most <strong>emotions<\/strong> in the movie, And we do not complain about that. Rest of the squad is pushed towards a <strong>supporting cast<\/strong> and the character of El Diablo, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and Katana do not have much weight. <strong>Rick Flag<\/strong> could have been a strong character but <strong>wasn&#8217;t.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>dialogues<\/strong> of this movie are <strong>hands down awesome.<\/strong> There is madness, there is humor, there is intensity, there is the ploy and there is a lot of entertainment in the dialogues. A <strong>mixed performance<\/strong> by the writing team it is.<\/p>\n<h2>Performances<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Margot Robbie<\/strong> <strong>steals the movie<\/strong> with the crazy <strong>Harley Quinn.<\/strong> She is the best performance of the movie. No viewer can disagree with this statement of mine. Next follows <strong>Will Smith<\/strong> as <strong>Deadshot.<\/strong> He puts in complete emotion to the character and is a <strong>hell of a convincing performer<\/strong> as the shooter. <strong>Jared Leto<\/strong> has a brief role but he puts in his everything to the role. As we mentioned above, he looks <strong>menacing and intimidating.<\/strong> However, we wished more of Joker. <strong>Cara Delevingne<\/strong> as <strong>Enchantress<\/strong> fills the shoes of the villain for the villains to fight. She is <strong>acceptable<\/strong> and not much can complain about her.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the rest of the cast, only Viola Davis connects to the audience to some extent. <strong>Rest all fall flat<\/strong> in terms of performance.<\/p>\n<h2>Action and Effects<\/h2>\n<p>A comic book movie and one at that big scale is <strong>bound to have awesome combats<\/strong> and this movie is no exception. And the effects have some brilliant moments as well. As opposed to Batman v Superman, this movie does not have shaky camera movements in action scenes. And it is a welcomed change. However, some scenes had VFX which was hard to believe to be true.<\/p>\n<h2>Direction<\/h2>\n<p>David Ayer has created \u00a0a piece of entertainment but <strong>oversold<\/strong> it. He started out great with the <strong>brilliant setup,<\/strong> but the <strong>payoff was disappointing.<\/strong> However, he must be credited for extracting some of the <strong>awesome performances<\/strong> from the lead actors, and selecting such awesome songs for the <strong>soundtrack.<\/strong> But the grip and the <strong>control over<\/strong> the movie seemed to <strong>loosen up<\/strong> towards the second half of the movie. Overall a <strong>decent<\/strong> effort.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Suicide Squad<\/strong> is a brilliant <strong>entertainer<\/strong> in the <strong>first half<\/strong> and an <strong>average<\/strong> action movie in the <strong>second half.<\/strong> There are some awesome performances by <strong>Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Jared Leto.<\/strong> Everyone is bound to love <strong>Harley Quinn.<\/strong> But the fans might get disappointed with the overall movie as a whole.
