DC comics villains team up to save the world.

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2017)

I watched this movie at home on DVD from my public library, when my wife was out of town. It is not her kind of movie anyway.
The premise is interesting, some supernatural villains have surfaced and the fate of the world is in the balance. A high-ranking government official hatches a secret, unofficial plan ... a group of highly dangerous, incarcerated meta humans will be sprung to use their special powers to defeat the villains. What is their incentive to cooperate? Each is restrained while a tiny capsule, the size of a grain of rice, is injected into their necks. If a button is pushed the capsule will explode with such force that their head will be blown off. We actually see it work when one of them tries to go rogue at the first sign of conflict.
I don't give this movie overall very high marks. There are no good guys, everyone is bad to different degrees. Much of the fighting in the middle of the movie are mysterious faceless creatures. Maybe a fan of all the DC characters would know what they are but for me it didn't seem very interesting.
My favorite characters are Margot Robbie playing a goofy but dangerous Harley Quinn. And her boyfriend/lover/husband perhaps, Jared Leto all but unrecognizable as The Joker. And, Viola Davis as the rogue government agent Amanda Waller. The other characters are uninteresting in comparison.
Even Ben Affleck as Batman makes brief appearances in Gotham at the beginning and at the end. Can be an interesting 2 hours of entertainment if you like these characters. The ending sets up for a sequel which is already planned.
