How hard could it be to ruin a movie about super villains teaming up? Apparently, not very

Rating: 3/10 (11 August 2016)

If you are one of those fanboys who spam-voted 10/10's on this site, please leave and never come back. Somehow, this film still sits at a 7/10 which is wildly out of its reach.
The characters in this movie are awful. The first half of this movie is dedicated towards developing them and setting them up, but it's entirely useless, making it really boring. Everything that has to do with characterization is done through exposition. You rarely see the characters actually exhibit the traits they're supposed to have, and when they do, it's really forced. Will Smith's character is pretty much the main character, and he suffers from this the most. His character revolves around his care for his daughter. Instead of us viewers actually being able to see their relationship and understand it, this vital piece of information is literally given through another character's voice over in which they state, "(Will Smith's character's) weakness is his daughter." For the rest of the movie, we're just expected to accept this and it feels really artificial. There is no real characterization, only shoehorned exposition. Margot Robbie's character is in the movie because she's attractive. She does nothing except annoy me and her characterization is even worse than Will Smith's. And oh my God, the Joker. Now, it'd be unfair to compare him to Heath Ledger, but Jared Leto's Joker is definitely the worst part of this movie. He's only in the movie to provide exposition for Margot Robbie's character and to give her any character at all. He provides nothing else for the movie except just making it worse every time he steps into the frame with his godawful performance. He's just bland, uninteresting, and completely useless, and every time he's in a scene, you're desperately waiting for it to end. There is also barely any plot. If the story had centered around one of the characters it may have been the slightest bit interesting, but as I mentioned before, any emphasis given to the characters is really bad. Instead, the entire movie is about beating all the generic enemies in the room and then advancing to the next level until you reach the really boring final boss. Everything else in the movie is just leading up to these final moments, and it's very dissatisfying. The ending battles of this movie are pretty much the ending battles of the Avengers movies, except much worse because all the characters suck, too. If I have to say anything good about this movie, I'll say that a small percentage of things going on looked cool and somewhat satisfying, and I laughed at a lot of the jokes. While Margot Robbie's character was awful, her performance was pretty entertaining to watch when it wasn't annoying. There are obviously movies far worse than Suicide Squad, which is why Im going to let it sit on a 3/10. But this was definitely the least enjoyable and most forgettable superhero movie I've seen in the recent wave of them.
