Suicide Squad - Un inferno da scontare

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.

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.

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

So I just finished Suicide: Hell to Pay. It amazes me that a cartoon did a better job at Suicide Squad than the movie. Warner Bros. animation needs to give their film department some tips.

On the negatives, some of the dialogue was corny. But that's a small nitpick in an otherwise great animated film. The voice acting was pretty spot on. I cant wait for the next DC animated film.

Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay is an R-Rated animated movie that basically does better than the live-action film from 2016, which despite making a big return at the box office, was heavily panned by critics. The story is good, the characters are accurate to the comic, and there is blood. Lots of blood. If you are looking for something to wash the bad taste of the 2016 film out, this is it.
