Leslie Jones Reviews Suicide Squad

If she ever decides to leave SNL, comedian Leslie Jones might want to take up movie reviewing.
Jones displayed her reviewing skills when she live-tweeted her take on Captain America: Civil War, to hilarious results. Now she's finally gotten around to watching the Warner Bros. and DC project Suicide Squad, though she did need to clarify some things in the beginning.
Jones said, "Ok I just started "Suicide Squad" extended cut! I'm. In. Heaven!!" She did have a question about the timeline though early on when she said "Hey watching suicide squad. Is this suppose to be when superman died in that batman movie?!" The film does have several flashbacks, so it makes sense that someone might be a bit thrown. She then followed it up with "Ok question had there ever been a movie about the joker? Is there any real back story written on him? Just wondering why they never mad one."
Later on, Jones gave her final thoughts on the divisive film, saying "Ok I know people got their opinions about this movie, but I am loving it. The story is sketchy though but I really love the intention." That seemed to be the prevailing thought amongst most moviegoers as well. Despite its plot flaws, many walked out of the theater having a good time, and it led to a $745,600,054 million dollar payday.
It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?
Suicide Squad is direct by David Ayer and stars Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood and Cara Delevingne.
