Cinephile No. 599 "Suicide Squad"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

What I am about to utter, is one of the most disappointing things I have had to say about a movie: Without a shadow of doubt in my mind, "Suicide Squad" is one of the worst movies based on a comic book I have ever seen. I still read comic books and have always been a DC Comics fan, but for two hours I felt ashamed for being in a movie theater. I felt as if I was witnessing a murder and I should be doing something to help. But, there I sat, helpless and bewildered. Before me, I watched poorly developed characters take part in a poorly developed plot fighting a poorly developed villain. Before the credits could roll to finally put me out my misery, I was left with a simple thought: tell a complete story. That's it. That's all that is required of any movie. So, your up next Wonder Woman and you're in luck, because my expectations couldn't be any lower. 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
