The Suicide Squad (2021)
Spyro Rating: 6,8 /10 as "better -the-"
Director: James Gunn
Stars: Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Daniela Melchior, Viola Davis
Many missed 'The Suicide Squad (2021)' because it was confused with 'Suicide Squad (2016)'. To clarify: they are different. Simple solution would be to add a "2" at the end, instead production chose to add a "the" at the front. The "not 2" reasoning might be to avoid labeling the 2021 film as a "sequel" to the mediocre one of 2016. !Let's escape this mess and call the 2021 film a "soft reboot" since the director and most cast have changed.
Margot Robbie is still here and the concept is still the same. A ruthless government organization is recruiting/blackmailing imprisoned supervillains to join a black-ops team. If they survive and follow instructions to the letter, then their sentences will be reduced. If they do somethin wrong, then a bomb implanted inside their body will detonate.
Having a a better writer/director -James Gunn- does make a better movie. However this film still has the misfortune of being part of DCEU. Marketing can only make the "DC" logo as small as they are allowed to have it but they cannot give us the green light to watch this film by labeling it as "standalone". Fortunately for us, it is standalone.
