Kevin Smith is one of the few people who seems to have really loved Suicide Squad, and he’s not ashamed to admit it!
Despite the general reviews of the movie being a lot of sizzle but with very little substance, Smith posted a brief review on his Instagram feed after catching an opening night screening of the new DC Comics-based movie.
“Well I think [director David Ayer] made magic and did #dccomics proud. The #Squad movie doesn’t look like any other comic book flick I’ve ever seen,” said Smith.
He also commended the idea to use Batman and the Joker as background characters, letting the Squad themselves lead the action.
We’re not alleging that Smith is any way biased, but we should point out that not only does he own a comic book store in New Jersey (one that is featured in the television series Comic Book Men), he also named his daughter Harley Quinn Smith. Suicide Squad starred Margot Robbie as the Harley Quinn, the Joker’s main love interest. So it’s probably not a coincidence that he loved the movie.
