It is fun, nonetheless

But things aren’t so dark with the Suicide Squad. As a matter of fact, this is the reason why it is still called as small step forward for the DCEU – because it isn’t as bleak as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In it, the characters have fun. They actually smile and they crack a joke, even if it doesn’t land every time.

The movie is very comic booky, it cannot be said otherwise, even if sometimes this isn’t exactly a good thing (Telegraph calls it “puerile comic book pornography”).

As Den of Geek notes, “…logic waved bye-bye to Harley a long time ago. Kind of like this movie. But in both cases, it’s a damn captivating spectacle to behold.” Which is great – at least Suicide Squad is an enjoyable spectacle, in which the weight of an entire world doesn’t fall on the viewer’s shoulders.

However, Vanity Fair does say that the movie is forgettable. If Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is revolting and divisive, Suicide Squad won’t go down in history at all. As far as I can understand, this is just another entertaining summer movie.
