Suicide Squad Reviews: 14 Early Reactions You Need To See
9. It's Fun
It might be classed as something of a dirty word amongst the more stoic DC fanboys, but Suicide Squad seems to revel more in a sense of fun than Batman v Superman ever managed. And that's no bad thing, even if there will probably be accusations of Marvel-fan-baiting.
Comicbook say it's the perfect tonic to the DC film universe's glumness:
"The chief complaint about the DC Films universe so far has been a lack of fun and funny - in fact, a lack of smiles all around. Well, this movie takes care of that, and from early on."
Fun comes up a lot as a buzzword - or at least the agenda to be fun - which for some reviewers is jarring given the general murk of the film. If it works for some, that has to be classed as at least partly a victory.
