Ben
Meyers’ Rating: 3.6|5.0 StarsìììThe Suicide Squad—better writing in some places than the last film—has
over-the-top gore and violence that could cause an adult to feel queasy. Almost every scene presents the unexpected
mini-climax that keeps a viewer from being able to build toward a conclusion.
It’s an unexpected presentation format that is interesting for its novelty and
becomes difficult for the critic to liken or find common grounding to compare
it to other movies within this genre. It’s like mixing evil with evil and then wondering
how that cake is going to taste after baking. Casting chose an excellent cast
that includes, but is not limited to: Idris Elba, John Cena, Margot Robbie who
reprises her role as Harley Quinn, Michael Rooker, Viola Davis who reprises her role
as Amanda Waller, and the voice of Sylvester Stallone (as King Shark), and Pete
Davidson. This film may be watched best at home rather than the theater setting
as free vetting of verbal ‘Uggghhh’ and averting of eyes can be done privately
rather than publicly.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. The graphic, violent gore is over-the-top…enough
to make a grown adult feel queasy. It definitely is not for children. But, to
be fair, it is creative with a fresh story quite unlike any presented in
previous superhero films.
