Unlike Civil War, Suicide Squad takes each and every available opportunity to make itself feel like a comic book movie, and not just a movie based on comic book characters.
However, if I take off the lenses of a critic and just watch Suicide Squad like a true fan, it far and away feels like a more fun movie than Civil War could ever hope to be.
Before taking this topic any further, I need to make one distinction very clear: I’m not saying that Suicide Squad is a better movie than Captain America: Civil War.
Having said that, Civil War didn’t necessarily succeed on every single front of the eternal comic book movie war.
