Enjoyably insane & anarchic supervillain movie.

What a rush this movie was! I don't even hate the first movie. But this was 3x better than the first Suicide Squad. It's a glorioiusly insane and mean-spirited thrill ride. You can see the DNA of older movies like The Dirty Dozen or Where Eagles Dare sewn in with James Gunn's cheerfully deranged sensibilities. The cast is excellent with a lot of standout performances. Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Viola Davis, and Sylvester Stallone voicing a mutant shark man are perhaps the best. And the creativity with the action scenes are awesome.
What works most about this movie is its fearlessness. It has no qualms about taking chances and playing with expectations. It does not hold back with the R rating and it is gruesome and sadistic with its violence. This is the best DC superhero movie since the first Wonder Woman.
