The “Extended Cut” of
Suicide Squad didn’t polish
the movie as much as the
“Ultimate Edition” did for
Batman v Superman. Probably
because it only has about thirteen minutes of additional footage. But I welcome it nonetheless, since one of
the things I liked about the movie is the twisted love story arc of Harley
Quinn and the Joker, and a good amount of the additional scenes brought by the
Extended Cut are more flashbacks of this deranged couple.
However, all in all, one’s
feelings for this movie won’t radically change from his or her initial reaction
about it after watching the theatrical version.
Thirteen minutes’ worth of new scenes won’t really make it an entirely different, much upgraded movie.
Personally, re-watching Suicide Squad for the second time, in its Extended Cut version,
only confirmed and enforced what I liked about this movie…
 |
| Like, Deadshot being a well-layered, badass character... |
 |
| As well as Harley Quinn... |
 |
| Whom Margot Robbie adorably played to perfection. She's my most favorite thing in the movie... |
Re-watching it also confirmed and enforced the things I disliked about this movie as well…
 |
| Especially, Enchantress' minions, which look like diseased Putty Patrol knock offs. I find them extremely repulsive... |
But, most importantly, how utterly hilarious Enchantress’ ridiculous, stupid dancing is...
 |
| Wahahahahaha! |
Anyway, yeah,
Suicide Squad is messy and has several
problems. But, at least, it’s more fun
than
Batman v Superman. Honestly, it’s not as bad as what its 26%
Rotten Tomatoes rating implies. And I’m
really glad it made a profit to ensure a sequel, since it needs one – not just a
13-minute-longer Extended Cut – to truly improve upon itself
