Notes

My quick rating - 7,4/10. Glad I revisited Tromeo & Juliet since this movie is a huge budget Troma film from start to finish. How else do you explain a giant starfish destroying a city as part of the finale Godzilla style? Minus gratuitous nudity and way over the top jokes, this is exactly what Troma is known for. The cast of characters in this one is so oddball it is perfect. And substitute the usual over the top violence instead and you have the makings of a new form of super hero movie. Gunn did not shy away from blood splattering and body parts flying even if it was the forever good guy John Cena doling it out. This is definitely a sequel to the much maligned Suicide Squad by David Ayer from 2016. Both Margot Robbie and Viola Davis return in their same roles and still are excellent in them. Let's face it, no one should play Harley Quinn again. The rest of the squad are new and yet still do such a great job of playing off one another I could name more but the list is long. Still the same basic idea though of a group of super villains being tasked to take down the bad guy when the government cannot handle the task. The scenes are so smooth and the cinematography is top notch. This is really a different DC movie in every aspect from what Snyder and others have brought us, but that is such a good thing. It is crazy, gory and so much fun from start to finish. I am just glad they did NOT tone this down to PG-13 since I believe James Gunn had it set in his mind this was an adult comic coming to life. He surely has come a long way from his Troma time but he still was able to Weasel in his brother Sean Gunn and bring us a real gem. Definitely should be on your radar if you are into something totally different from the normal flick.
