DC need to slow the hell down

Rating: 4/10 (16 October 2016)

When Marvel first started their own hero universe, they started with a lesser popular character in Iron Man. This first phase culminated in The Avengers which absolutely redefined multiple heroes sharing a single film.
This same template of taking small steps into making something bigger has certainly paid off, due to the involvement that we have with all of the characters.
DC take note of this. With excellent talent on board, DC seem to rush the universe that they are trying to construct. As a consequence, we have rushed character development and little or no sentiment towards them.
With Suicide Squad this applies in spades. About 30 minutes in, there was an element of interest, but this dissipated into clock watching as I waited for the finale.
For a lot of crash bang wallop, this was one boring film. This was a comic book film in its literal sense as most of the story telling was so 2 dimensional.
DC have some of the most prestigious heroes and villains in comic book history, but with Warner overseeing the development of the film universe I can only see disappointment.
I can only see further woes in the up and coming movies (especially as they have Zack Snyder leading the Justice League flick. Don't mis understand me, before MOS I actually liked most of Synders films)
I can say that the inclusion of Ben Affleck has been the most positive of all of the DC universe developments. And i sincerely hope that Warner give carte blanche to Affleck when he makes his standalone Batman film.
