We went and saw Suicide Squad Friday night. We decided to take a chance and do some tight rope timing. Wife takes about three hours to get here from her job. Friday, Boy got us tickets to watch the movie, and we had a choice for 8:10pm or 11:30pm. It worked out perfectly, Wife gassed up the car during lunch, went potty at 4:00 and was driving out of the parking lot at 4:37pm. We couldn't do anything but wait, so in the meantime, we vacuumed, took out the trash from all the bathrooms, and kitchen, swept and cleaned the kitchen counters, and lit some candles. Wife showed up perfectly at 7:30pm. She just had enough time to go potty once again and then we were off to the movies.
Suicide Squad is a weird take on super heroes. The question is asked what would we do if Superman (in a world where Superman exists) decided he was going to kidnap the president? One of the government's finest decides we can "sick" a bunch of "bad guys" with powers and abilities on a given situation. They are all fitted with a pill sized grenade in their necks to keep them under control and unfortunately for the indian who attempts to run off, it is shown how it works and his head is blown off.
The Squad is almost immediately led by the Will Smith character, Deadshot. He is very simply, a shooter that never misses with a gun. The glue of the team and "Oh My Goodness!!!" what a looker, Margot Robbie, as Harley Quinn, she dials up the sex tart all the way past dangerous. She is as they say, a hot mess with her platinum blond hair, her make-up is red on one side, blue on the other, hot go-go shorts, and even the sexy shirt reads "Daddy's Little Slugger, and carries the image home since she carries a bat to fight with. There is a Mexican with the ability to control fire, a lizard looking man who can breath under water, an Australian thief, who is pretty good with a knife and boomerang, and a witch who causes all the trouble in the first place.
The witch is being controlled because they have her heart in a separate box, but the witch devises a plan, the government lady who plans all this has the heart and for no reason given to us, another "voodoo doll". This other doll has her brother and he comes out and becomes a major pain in the ass to contain.
For their first mission, the team has to go in and neutralize the witch and her brother, these two consider themselves gods and they have plans to take over the world. While all this is going on, the Joker is running in and out causing his own set of problems, as Harley Quinn is the love of his life, and he wants her back at any cost. Batman is also in and out, but not the hero this time, although they did show him capturing Deadshot and Harley Quinn.
This is DC Comic's response to the Marvel Franchise which has shown that putting a bunch of super heroes together can be a good thing. Batman Vs. Superman was a stupid idea because we love both those guys and they have always been our heroes, this was a better effort on their part. We have heard Aquaman is coming next year, along with the Flash, and Wonder Woman. These could all be interesting, if done well.
