In an odd twist of irony it seems that Suicide Squad suffers from the exact opposite problem that befell Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice when that film hit theaters in March.
It lacks the convolution problems of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but is also so simple that it doesn’t carry any weight.
Suicide Squad is fun, it’s light and it’s faithful to its characters, but it’s also woefully unbalanced and stands on incredibly shaky narrative ground.
Assigning the film 2.5/5 stars, Suicide Squad apparently epitomizes the idea of “mixed reviews.”
