Rating: 5/10 (9 August 2016)

In the DC universe depicted by this movie, bad guys like to tattoo descriptions of themselves on their faces.
That alone is emblematic of the entire movie. The whole thing feels like it was written and designed by an edgy 13 year-old.
Amanda Waller is trying to pitch a super villain suicide squad to some pentagon types for military funding. She explains how they have contingency plans for everything, like Nukes and Anthrax and mentions that we put "fluoride in the water."
Come on, Amanda. Everyone knows fluoridation is a communist plot to destroy our precious fluids.
Let's talk about the joker! They really blew him up in the promotions for this movie. You'd think he'd actually have kind of significance in the plot. No.
He shows up in a helicopter to save Harley Quinn from captivity. The helicopter is immediately shot down. She promptly returns to the group to finish the mission. That's it. That's Joker's role in this movie. No contribution to the story, just a shameless cameo to serve as filler.
Maybe this movie is supposed to be a collection of really bad Kubrick homages? I mean, the black guy in the Shining had more purpose than the Joker in this movie.
Anyway, this movie sucks. Unless you're 13, then it's probably brilliant.
