L’incomparable Mademoiselle C. 

Suicide Squad (2016) simply wasn’t a good movie for all the hype and anticipation it’d gotten up until its release—and frankly, it didn't give DCU the greatest look in comparison to the MCU. However, despite the reviews, it did well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel. As is evident from the title of this review, The Suicide Squad (2021) was simply a much better film than the first—having made a genuine effort to connect with the source material while still ensuring that it would be enjoyable for audiences. Despite being the sequel, The Suicide Squad does everything the original film should have—giving each character the respect and depth they deserve, all written within a thrilling yet easy-to-follow plotline.
