With the DCEu in its infancy, Warner Bros. made the bold move to make Suicide Squad. Set to be the DCEU's answer to Guardians of the Galaxy, DC set about making a wild and wacky thrill ride filled with laughs, splashes of color and over the top insanity and had it delivered on this premise, the movie may well have become gold! Instead, through massive editing, David Ayer's initial vision was twisted and turned into a mess that is both bland and boring and you can literally feel the harsh re-editing this movie experienced. With Shazam on the horizon, fingers crossed movies as terrible as Suicide Squad will become a distant memory.
With strong leads such as Will Smith and Margot Robbie the movie had bankable appeal. Some comedic writing that served most characters well if at times miss timed, helps ease our way through some of the really rough parts of the movie. Visually, at least in terms of the costumes and make up, this moive is a feast for the eyes. So many crazy colors and unique visual takes from each character make each of them something to study. It is a shame that despite excellent chasting however the depth and detail of their costumes is often times as deep as these characters become. Said really.

Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
