Suicide Squad: 5 Things Critics Got Right, 5 Things They Got Wrong

WRONG.

This is just silly. So many critics, while slamming the film for its thin plot have called it bloated or overstuffed in the same review. I suppose a film can be both of those things, but it takes one hell of an argument that critics haven't exactly made.

Calling Suicide Squad overstuffed just sounds like a Batman v Superman review stuck on repeat. Suicide Squad is not overstuffed. If anything, the movie is under-stuffed because it does not have enough going on.

The story is very straightforward and while there are a lot of characters, only a few receive any noteworthy focus. There are several members of the Squad, but it really boils down to Deadshot, Harley Quinn, El Diablo, Rick Flag, and Amanda Waller with a little Captain Boomerang sprinkled in for comic relief.

Suicide Squad is an ensemble film and having actual storylines for only a handful of characters is hardly stuffing the story beyond capacity.
