It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Decent character driven stories. There were definitely some times where it seemed like the writers got a bit lazy though. For instance, the Squad have a philosophical discussion about how all of the evil they have done and the lives they have takes would likely condemn them all to hell, then immediately thereafter Killer Frost Freezes a security guard to get into a building and for no real reason Harley walks up and knocks his frozen head off, like the conversation about redemption never happened.What was even funnier was when DeadShot said after the next action scene that so far they hadn't killed anyone...huh? People were being killed left and right in this thing...Also, Copperhead is fighting to win the day near the end and Waller blows him up with his implanted explosive as collateral damage to get Killer Frost. This didn't even give the team pause that Waller treated him as so expendable that in the service of HER goals while fighting for HER cause, he was used as just a disposable weapon. It seemed as though they should all have assumed they would be next. That REALLY seemed lazy...Entertaining, but could have used another once-over for logical continuity:)

First and foremost, it's best to go into this movie either not having seen the previous Suicide Squad animated movie, Assault on Arkham, and forget about that completely godawful live action version, because neither have any bearing whatsoever on this film. As a point of fact (and spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen Assault on Arkham) that first movie ended with the Suicide Squad being free of Waller and Deadshot actually reuniting with his daughter so he could line up an insanely long sniper shot on Waller's head. Regardless of either, this movie seems to have absolutely zero connection with them. While it will help to know some of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe), like most DC animated these days it can be a bit tough connect this one to any others. I will say Justice League Flashpoint Paradox is a must, as that film does connect with this one, if you're going to get a major plot point/motivation for one of the characters that's revealed. Beyond that, however, if you were to watch the first Suicide Squad animatedOther than that little continuity confusion, the movie overall was quite good. It was hardcore violence and didn't flinch away from the gore, which is good considering these are vicious criminals who have no issue with killing. The casting choices were pretty good too, though I did think Slater wasn't a great fit for Deadshot. It was nice to hear Tara Strong back as Harley, though I don't think the character was really given enough to do here. This really was a story that focused on two or three members of the Suicide Squad, and had a pretty potent spiritual component to it. It's also pretty clear this was a one-shot since (and major spoilers here) a LOT of main, well-known DC characters die in this.Still, on a whole, this was a pretty well done movie with an art style that seems like is become the standard for the DCAU since it was also used in Justice League Dark and the Constantine short, 5-episode webseries, and I'm not complaining about that because I think it's a good style. Overall, this would be good as a rental vs a purchase since, although it's a good movie and worth watching, I can't see it be re-watched very often to justify a dvd or blu-ray purchase.

Wow, just wow. Amazing, absolutely amazing. Everything from the voice acting, character development, plot, animation, soundtrack. Everything was just spot on and blew me away. Haven't seen a comic based animated film like this in a LONG time. Where DC fails in their cinematic movies, they more than make up for in their VOD/Straight to Blu-Ray animated films.I'm especially happy that they made this for an older audience. I'd so much as to say it even beats the pathetic PG-13 Suicide Squad movie with Will Smith!Watch this movie without knowing much or anything about it and I promise you, you will be pleasantly surprised.

This is a fun little adventure that doesn't live up to the heights of the first animated Suicide Squad film, Assault on Arkham, but certainly stays truer to the spirit of the comics than the live action version.The best part of this film is probably how it adds to the ongoing animated DC universe. There are lots of moving parts to the story and the introduction of some new characters, while the expected few also play a major role. Without going into spoilers you will definitely want to check this film out if you have been following the developing world spread across these movies.Overall this is a fun adventure that sticks to the spirit of the squad, there are a lot of great characters, actions and deaths to keep any fan happy, and the steaks stay relatively high throughout.
