It's been one heck of a summer blockbuster season for the year 2016, with plenty of movies that showed heroes flying high and kicking each other's ass when conflict and tension pitted them against one another. While there's still plenty of films to look forward to as the year continues, one of the most anticipated ensemble cast films and the second film in the growing DC Extended Universe finally sees release with director David Ayer's "Suicide Squad" - a film that literally sees the bad guys forced to do some good in exchange for lighter sentences and their lives intact.
After all the hubbub and criticism lashed at last March's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", the opening weekend of Suicide Squad also saw critics lash out at the newest addition to the growing DC Extended Universe that Warner Bros. Pictures is building. Despite this, the movie has earned $247 Million on opening weekend, and becoming the HIGHEST GROSSING FILM to open on August - a huge feat for an R-Rated film... And a superhero film no less. That's not to say the movie doesn't have its flaws, but it does entertain in SPADES too.
That being said, here's my review for the film featuring the so-called "Worst Heroes Ever" and officially designated "Task Force X". Special thanks goes to Warner Bros. Philippines for inviting me, as well as my friends who cosplayed the "Squid Squad", to the premiere last week and the other screenings on Squad Week!
