This is exactly what the first movie should have been. Equal parts humor and character depth, whereas the first film had flat attempts at comedy and no heart.
The action scenes are very entertaining, with the opening action scene in particular being an absolute riot. Special mention to John Cena as Peacemaker, who steals the show, and he and Idris Elba's Bloodsport play off each other very well.
6.1/10. A decent sequel, which it is, to the original Suicide Squad. I still prefer that one since it had a better team and the villain seemed to be better set up. Here it's Starro just thrown in there as is he's not good enough for the Justice League apparently. Margot Robbie's OK here, seems like she's gotten bored with the character that skyrocketed her career five years ago. John Cena, who I detest, is just here for the sake of being here. It needed some tweaking and a different villain, like maybe Bane as ruler of this island. King Shark and Ratcatcher 2 are the best characters overall.
Visible crew/equipment: Waller is telling "Task Force X" about the additional mission they need to pursue, saving Rick Flag. Watch the shot when Bloodsport repeats "Rick Flag?" and Waller replies "I know." The team is going through dense, uninhabited tropical jungle, but in the trees there are people in T-shirts just standing around looking at them. (00:31:50)
Harley Quinn: I love the rain, it's like angels are splooging all over us.

Answer: It's a combination of various reasons. Will Smith wasn't available to reprise his Deadshot role, so there was a shift in the story. King Shark was intended to be in the first film, but the CGI was too extensive, so they went with Killer Croc. In this film, they took the opportunity to bring in King Shark as the "monster" character. But, this film isn't really a sequel or reboot. Basically, this is a new storyline with new characters, and many of the previous characters are just not in the film, with no exposition on what happened to them, and they may not even be part of this film's "universe." The fact that some of the actors play the same character in both films only serves to muddle the concept of this film not really being a part of the previous film's continuity.
