It lacks substance/spirit

Rating: 4/10 (8 August 2016)

Let's start with the good: it looks OK, has good music, beautiful women wearing very little, at times some shirtless hunky men, a lot of mostly decent action, a few good jokes... There are much worse movies.
But...
About 2/3 of the movie is pretty formulaic "Dirty Dozen" clone, but with much less spirit. There are a few good jokes, but just a few. Otherwise, it's pretty boring and/or not interesting.
Then it finally starts going somewhere, but quickly turns into a bunch of formulas, "a bad man being good for his daughter", "good man sacrificing his love for the higher good", etc.
That is the movie's biggest flaw - it just doesn't have any life in it. Music is great, but, doesn't work well with the movie. Women are beautiful, but somehow not appealing. Guys are tough, yet have no charisma. Joker is different than most you've seen before, but, feels like a shot at doing the Joker "Captain Jack Sparrow style", which doesn't work. Since the plot is the usual comic-book nonsense, there's not much left, really.
While Will Smith and Margot Robbie do their best to try to give some spirit to the movie, it feels forced and doesn't work. There is some chemistry between them, a "big brother / little sister" kind of thing, but, it's not explored. Since they are the actual main characters of the movie, for us to really get to know them, they needed much more screen time, preferably together.
As is, the whole thing feels like another shot at making an "Avengers" clone, which fails. One hopes this trend will soon stop.
