Suicide Squad - Un inferno da scontare

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!

I've said it before and I will say it again, DC needs to use their animation department writers for the live action movies.

I was quite surprised as I had not payed attention to the rating and missed the R. The movie was quite violent and graphic for a DC movie, and the comedy is well placed to lighten the mood, but it was refreshing to see anime style violence in an animated "superhero" movie. It was also very interesting that the entire story revolved around a chance of true salvation, and served as a continuation of a previous DC film.

Suicide Squad lives up to the name, and though I am not one of the haters of the live action film, I feel this one was much better and leaves me wondering what could have been with the live action movie.

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.

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

Ultra violent, good voice acting, nice story. If only the sequel to the live-action movie will do as well.
