Full Review (Spoilers)

The DC movie universe is back at it again with another one of their live-action properties. The Suicide Squad offers you a ton of action while keeping true to their comic book storyline. The main thing that hurts this movie is a pacing problem that makes you feel like you’ve been in the theater for 30 minutes longer needed. Besides that one glaring negative, the rest of the movie will entertain you and assure you that the DC movie universe is going in the right direction.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d fix the pacing problem and cut the extra 30 minutes it feels like.
