Suicide Squad Review Highlights

  • As comic book fans, this was a movie we all looked forward. There were high expectations not having seen many of these characters on screen before!
  • Did Margot Robbie deliver as Harley Quinn?  We think so
  • Will Smith didn’t really own the role as Deadshot.
  • Jared Leto’s letdown as the Joker. Was he the main reason for all the terrible reviews?
  • Viola Davis commands a strong performance as Amanda Waller
  • Diablo has the biggest character arc in the movie
  • Boomerang wins the award for most useless character
  • Captain Flag has a solid performance that was almost forgettable
