Escuadrón Suicida: Deuda infernal

Loved the over arching story and some of the individual motivations, but some of the scenes and dialogue were very generic.

Lately DC animated movies haven't been as good or as fun as they used to be. the last really good DC animated movie I remember watching was Gods and Monsters. that is until this movie. the strongest aspect of this movie is it's plot. it starts with a bomb action and from there on it's a thrilling experience throughout. I was taken from the very first minutes and this movie never lost my interest. the pacing is brilliant, spending just the right amount of time to establish back story and characters motivation. nothing more nothing less I see that DC keeps experimenting with it's art style, which is a welcome practice. and I hope that in the future they will refine it even further because stories this good deserve that. another little problem I had with it was it's sense of humor. they could have used better writing in that department. because mostly when it was trying to be funny, it just came off as cringy. and, in my opinion, harley quinn still remain under used. I feel DC never fully utilizes harley's fighting capabilities, instead opting to make her a purely comic relief character. and so it is hard to buy that she would actually be chosen as part of the suicide squad but all in all this is a great movie and a must watch for any and all DC fans

This is the second suicide squad animated movie in a row (and the umpteenth dc animated movie) that is VASTLY SUPERIOR to the live action debacles this same company has put out. I was so mad watching this, DC has this great writing staff on payroll, why don't they do better with the live action? The plot, pacing, and action scenes were GREAT, i.e , the exact opposite of what they put in cinemas. The animation could have been a bit better, but was good enough that it didn't deter from the overall enjoyment. This thing just zipped along and was such a joy to watch. Looking forward to the next animated feature, which I already know will be better than whatever sad, live action still-birth they currently have in production.

Normally animated superhero movies is not my first choice of entertainment, but when given the chance and opportunity to watch one, I will do so, of course. And here in 2020 I was given the chance to sit down and watch the 2018 animated DC movie "Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay".

Well, I can start by saying that I wasn't really expecting much, given the dubious 2016 live action movie. But hey, I hadn't seen "Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay", so I watched it. And it turns out, oddly enough, that this animated movie far outdid the live movie. Who knew...

The storyline in "Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay" was straight forward, so you shouldn't expect a Shakespearian masterpiece in terms of storyline, script and writing. However, what does work here is the fact that this animated movie is for a mature audience. There is a heap of graphic violence in the story, which really surprised me. As well as deaths of not only goons and those opposing the Suicide Squad, but also members of the Suicide Squad themselves. That was definitely something that I enjoyed.

And they had put together a good group of voice talents for the various characters in the animated movie. That really helps an animated movie along quite a long way. So that was a good thing.

As for the style of the drawing and the art, then I liked that. It had a hint of that classic 1980s cartoon style to it that I grew up with and loved then and still do. But still, it has just enough updated contents to make it appear not fully retro. That worked well for the animated movie in my opinion.

I enjoyed "Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay", and I am rating it a seven out of ten stars. This is definitely one of the better animated superhero movies that I have had the fortune of sitting through. It is well-worth the time, just forget that you ever saw that 2016 movie.

Not that I mind!

However had I not watched most of Arrowverse prior to watching this I wouldn't have know most of these characters and this movie doesn't give enough back story for these characters to feel relatable. I mean we know most of it, but still. For me, I need that to get attached to the characters and root for them. Out of all of the movies written and directed in this style following these stories with Batman, justice league, teen Titans, etc, this is probably my least favorite. But it isn't that bad! I'm not saying that at all! Still worth the watch. Maybe not for kids under 13 though!
