The Suicide Squad

The Suicide Squad
Supervillains Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, and a collection of nutty cons at Belle Reve prison join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X as they are dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.

I thought The Suicide Squad would be a fun movie to watch on my 23rd birthday. Plus, I was wanting to rewatch it after seeing Superman (2025). James Gunn is very good at writing complex characters, whether they’re humans, animals.. sharks… whatever they are, he will make you care deeply about them, even if they commit horrible acts. That’s what James Gunn does best, IMO. He makes you FEEL. Additionally, this movie has great song choices and cinematography. As I’ve mentioned before, James Gunn’s comedy doesn’t always match my taste, so when there’s a scene with twenty jokes, one after another, it can be difficult for me to sit through them. If you're looking for an R-RATED summer movie with stylized action, a cool English guy, and a shark that murders people… watch this. Wait— why are you putting on The Meg? What’s wrong with you???
