Suicide Squad Review

PROCEED WITH CAUTION - POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Let's start with some negativity, the entire movie was just a bad combination of emotions. They should have stuck with comedy/action, but then there was romance (Harley and Joker) and then there were the tragic stories of El Diablo and Deadshot.

I will definitely watch Suicide Squad once more in theaters just for its soundtracks and the songs, especially the ones used to introduce the bad guys. Some of my favorites are Sucker For Pain, Heathens, Without Me and Bohemian Rhapsody (cover). If there's one thing that sets DC live action movies apart its the soundtracks, for example BvS:Dawn Of Justice.

I just feel a little sad for Slipknot, that guy barely had a backstory and was killed much before the action started. Speaking of screen time, how can we forget Mr J! People on the internet were so quick to judge Jared Leto although he was barely on the screen. The trailers portrayed him to have a major role in the movie but what we got was a witch who was trying to take over the world along with her brother. I just hope we get to see more of Jared Leto's Joker in a few more movies like Justice League part 1 and 2, maybe he'd be a part of the Injustice League.

Post Credit Scene:
Yep, I guess this is the first time DC have a post credit scene in their movie. This scene is basically Bruce Wayne trying to get information from Amanda Waller about her Task Force X project and other meta humans. Towards the end of the scene, Waller reveals that she knows Bruce's super hero identity.

Overall Rating:
Good movie but not really a DC movie. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10.

If you have watched the movie I would highly recommend watching Batman: Assault on Arkham, you could consider it as the animated sequel to Suicide Squad. Its got similar characters and much more of Joker.

Ban Rotten Tomatoes?

Rotten Tomatoes gave DC's upcoming movie Suicide Squad a 30% rating. Now this has upset quite a lot of DC fans but one fan, in particular, was so upset by the rating that he decided to start an online petition to shutdown the popular movie reviews website.

Now we all know that the website has given quite a few DC movies a pretty bad rating. Although I personally feel that some of those are not up to the DC standards, the ratings they've received are quite low. Even Batman Vs Superman had got a really bad rating when it had released earlier this year, but it did not anger so many people because the movie had mixed reviews even from fans.



Cut to the present, and you'll see that one person, Abdullah Coldwater, has started an online petition on change.org to ban Rotten Tomatoes. And this has actually been signed by 17,848 people!




Personally I just find the whole idea of people getting angry over movie critics really stupid and I'm not saying this because I critique movies too, but because in this case people haven't really done their research. Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Warner Bros since 2016. If WB wanted they could destroy or stop funding the website, but you can't really blame the website because its users are bad or biased.

 In fact, one person has started a petition asking all those 17,000 people to just calm down but unfortunately this petition is being supported by 8 people.
