The Best: The Suicide Squad
At first, we hoped Warner Bros.’s second attempt at getting one of DC Comics’ best teams right would have a different title, but it was so good we soon no longer cared about that. James Gunn wielded his unwieldy magic once more for a different motley crew of new and familiar faces… mostly fated to die. Sure, the cannon fodder made us laugh a ton but Margot Robbie knocked it out of the park for a third time as Harley Quinn and Daniela Melchior’s Ratcatcher 2 gave the story some extra heart. Polka-Dot Man?? Polka-Dot Man. Even though the giant villain was revealed in the trailers leading up to release, that didn’t take away from the awe of seeing Starro brought to life as one tremendous foe. The only crime of the film is that the wrong character is getting a TV spinoff. King Shark forever.
