Suicide Squad

02:04:00

I read so much criticism that it actually almost prevented me from going to the cinema. But then I went, hopeless to be soon disappointed, landing in an almost empty cinema room, as it was daytime. And I watched. 
I really don't get those film critics, to be honest. Maybe as viewers, we pay attention to different things, maybe as fans, we don't expect the characters to be flawless. And I was far from disappointed. Call me a freak but I'm not a fan of the BIG heroes who devoted their lives to saving the world. Fine, they are equipped with the greatest gadgets, their fate was predetermined and they are all so full of action and glory. And they get the best girls. We have so much in common with them as to the 1 percent of millionaires who spend in one day our yearly earnings. Their problems seem to be far-fetched. Their Batman/Spiderman suits imply loneliness. They have relationship problems as they cannot even decide on a girl because saving the world is oh so important. And what I loved about the characters of Suicide Squad that they are more or less like us. In all their madness they want what an ordinary human wants in life and this makes it easy to like them. No time wasted. And If I had watched something like this 10 years ago, I would have probably been obsessed. Enjoy.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
