“I remember as if it was yesterday my utter disappointment in 2016 when I purchased my tickets to watch Suicide Squad back then. No hate towards David Ayer, the studios definitely meddled with his film to the max, I would LOVE to see his version but nonetheless, what we got was such a terrible film…. Fast forward 5 years u0026amp; Warner Brothers turns the tables and makes what is probably one of the GREATEST comic book movies of all time. The film is very ballsy, violent u0026amp; full of heart. The characters are eye candy u0026amp; Iu0026#39;m VERY happy that James Gunn kept what worked in the original. Because it was a bad movie but there were some good in it. This film James really respects David Ayers film by keeping what worked while just sticking to what needed to be done. The R Rating was needed, Iu0026#39;m also glad the studio acknowledged that. Iu0026#39;m VERY Tired of seeing studios go for a PG-13 rating so they can get more views. Like cmon now, grow a pair please. Sony doing it with Venom u0026amp; all other types of examples of studios fearing the R Rating… I think ever since Joker Warner Brothers has discovered that they can really get the same numbers if not more regardless, Then Birds Of Prey happened, which I enjoyed too. BUT my point is ALL of this led up to this movie RIGHT HERE. So again, kudos to Warner Brothers for the R Rating!!! Now first things first, The action is GREAT u0026amp; the twists are even more magnificent. The Comedy is SPOT ON, and lands when it needs to, the use of dark comedy and balance of character development is done so well that it doesnu0026#39;t feel out of place or that one is taking over the other. BloodSport carryu0026#39;s this movie, his performance was SCREAMING Will Smith for me, (meaning the role just looks like it was meant for him because he had daughter issues too) but I gotta say, Idris Elba grew on me more than Will Smith did. His performance is GREAT and he has amazing chemistry with another character and it just feels special. Polka Dot man was absolutely hilarious yet gave me a bittersweet taste in my mouth, but in a good way. King Shark was an amazing joy to watch on screen. Peacemaker was awesome too. Now what I mean by awesome is off their importance, performance and role in the movie. Some of these characters are not like able… mind you… and some things will happen over the course of events and make you not like characters more and thatu0026#39;s where this movie shines. Itu0026#39;s VERY unpredictable. And when you feel like you think you know where the movie is going it pulls the rug from under you hard. Very enjoyable ride. When it was over I wanted to watch it again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*Pros*nWell written characters / performancesnComedy/Action (is not repetitive)nEffects/CGInStory / plot / scriptu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*Cons*nThinly written VillainnClimax for the ending felt just a bit thin wish it would have required more u0026quot;teamworku0026quot; and not one character being the reason they won (youu0026#39;ll see what I mean)nSome Characters I felt died a bit too soon and would have liked a little more depth before they went.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWB needs to keep this up and we will continue to want more. If they understand the character they should know the direction needed to continue the character. Superman doesnu0026#39;t need to be dark and suicide squad should never be PG13. Not saying these are u0026quot;impossible to dou0026quot; but just saying if you REALLY understand the character you should know what works and what doesnu0026#39;t, and as far as I see it… this is the RIGHT direction for The Suicide Squad Peacemaker show is something to look forward to! And I will be more than happy to call this Film an u0026quot;The REAL Academy Winning Suicide Squadu0026quot; because it deserves the title more than the 2016 one… #releasetheayercut.”
