What a waste

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2017)

The last decade has all been about Marvel. Now DC comics are coming into the limelight with a number of eagerly awaited titles in the pipeline. This movie had a number of interesting depthy characters and a story-line that kind of worked for me. Two individual performances were simply brilliant, Harley Quinn was sexy and crazy and believable and Jared Leto's performance as the Joker was an unexpected gem. But that's all the pluses for me! The special effects in this movie weren't all that special. Action scenes were cluttered and hard to follow and the whole thing just seemed a little rushed. In my opinion the producers have done one simple thing wrong that marvel worked out a long time ago. All of the characters both good and evil seem to have depth and an interesting backstory and could have likely had their own individual story told. And telling this first would have taken away the need for flash introductions and would have made the viewer understand and care for them.
