#The Suicide Squad, Scream 4K, And More

The first “Suicide Squad” movie made a lot of money at the box office, but it’s also considered a pretty big creative failure. Whether or not director David Ayer is to blame for that is up for debate (Ayer insists he had a much better cut of the film that Warner Bros. made him change), but when it came time for a sequel, the studio brought in someone new. That someone new was James Gunn, who landed the gig not long after being fired by Disney for some offensive tweets. Disney eventually came around and re-hired Gunn, enabling him to work in both the MCU and the DCEU. 

So is Gunn’s take on the team of supervillains an improvement? Oh yes, of course it is. Gunn has a much better grasp on this material, and he’s a more interesting filmmaker than Ayer. That said, “The Suicide Squad” still misses the mark. It feels bloated, and while Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn remains fun to watch, her character feels badly shoe-horned into the film, as if Gunn didn’t want to include her at all but had to due to contractual reasons. 

But “The Suicide Squad” also adds much more interesting characters this time around, including the lovable King Shark (voiced by Sylvester Stallone), the miserable Polka-Dot Man (played wonderfully by David Dastmalchian), and, best of all, Ratcatcher 2, played by the scene-stealing Daniela Melchior. The plot once again involves the Squad being sent on a dangerous mission, and Gunn, to his credit, isn’t afraid to kill off as many characters as he possibly can, even the ones we grow to like.
