A brief take on The Suicide Squad

I’m a degree less excited about James Gunn’s new role with the DCU after watching this. How did he and the suits miss the fact that it should have been a Harley Quinn movie, especially after the best sequence in the whole film involves her ( Cut for spoilers. Instead we get a slightly different flavour of the amoral sludge that was Suicide Squad. It leaned more into the weird and tried to be funnier, but I mainly thought Guardians of the Galaxy is better and at least I didn’t make the effort of going to the cinema to see this. But I have a new ship, apparently. )
