Suicide Squad - a Win for DC - Suicide Squad had a fair amount of panning by critics despite it being the best DC superhero film since Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. The film for the most part got the characters right and had a fun story to boot. I felt the movie was trying to hard to be good. At times the moments you see on screen look like they would be extremely funny or full of great action but instead they seemed to fall a bit flat. The intros to each character were forced and while I did enjoy most of them, none of them blew me out of the water. Even Margot Robbie, who I expected to steal the show, was pretty good but not fantastic. Will Smith and Jared Leto were also pretty good. The fact that DC has created a movie with pretty good characters is a step in the right direction. Apart from choppy storytelling and odd pacing the movie did not make any major mistakes like with Superman in his two films.Suicide Squad raked in the bucks, over taking some heavy hitting Marvel films including Captain America: Winter Soldier. So I would expect DC to follow suit with films that are more like Suicide Squad and hopefully they will fix some of the writing issues.
