A jumble of interesting and creative ideas with potential, but poorly structured and fails to garner any interest

Rating: 3/10 (14 April 2016)

My curiosity drove me to see this a second time, and much to my surprise it actually got worse. Those few good scenes I held on to in the first viewing were ultimately bogged down by a unnecessarily depressing and serious jumbled mess that lacks purpose and structure. Any character that exists within the movie is given such a paper thin motivations that whenever something supposedly suspenseful or emotional happens, I lack any interest in the outcome of the horrifically bland events that unfold. I don't recall any of the actors or actresses being this bad, and maybe it's due to the horribly paced and forced writing, but every line of dialogue feels almost tortuous to try and sit through. And don't even get me started on how ridiculously this movie tries to force itself into have a shared universe, by cramming down our throats pointless scenes of character building for heroes we won't even see for the next two years. Hopefully Suicide Squad holds more hope for the DCU than this monster.
