The Suicide Squad (2021)
DC embraces it's wacky side
In contrast to most of Snyder's offerings and even the previous Suicide Squad movie, this movie is actually quite fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously and knows exactly what it is: a silly, stupid comic book movie, which isn't a bad thing by any means. James Gunn's visual flair brings the extremely memorable cast into their own, a personal highlight being the Harley Quinn escape scene, which highlights what the movie does best: gratuitous violence and amazing spectacle, driven by great leads. The main characters don't feel like cardboard cutouts here, and while their development is not that deep, it's still leaps and bounds ahead of the last movie. The music lines up with both the previous film and Gunn's previous work on Guardians, where licensed music is put to use in memorable scenes.
My only gripe was that the movie didn't lean as far into the "anyone can die at any time" aspect as I would have liked, with most of the cast being whittled down early on. But other than that, if you enjoy fun action movies then you really cannot go wrong with THE Suicide Squad.

This film is incomprehensible
The characters are unlikable. The action is there not to service the story, but just to look cool (although I couldn't really tell what's happening anyways). The plot is incomprehensible, even through I watched the TV shows and previous movie. What a mess.
