I LOVED Batman V Superman but the Critics got SUICIDE SQUAD Right, What an AWFUL Film!

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2016)

I Actually Think The Critics Were Too Generous With This Film!!
I LOVED THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY, MAN OF STEEL AND BvS. I'm not that knowledgeable about the comic book worlds for DC or Marvel, but i do love watching movies. I was looking forward to this film even with the poor critics response.
What a mess, right from the start. Awful film. It was a roadrunner way of filmmaking, the structure and editing of scenes didn't give a chance to connect with the films story or characters. It was like a unentertaining mtv music video. For a film with such a frenetic style of storytelling it was boring, i was counting the minutes, the end didn't come soon enough.
The dialog was embarrassing at times.
The few shoot'em up action scenes were unremarkable and unmemorable. The finale was a joke of unbelievability, even for a superhero film, a cgi heavy ending that was like a damp squib to an already unexciting movie. Like a really rubbish supernaturals vs humans confrontation.
I love Jared Leto but The Joker's scenes weren't created right or edited to show the pure evil he is. His scenes were so random and nearly irrelevant it was a shame to watch. Leto's talents were wasted and utilized incorrectly in this film, not like in Batman and Dark Knight, where they savoured his menace in each scene and built on it. This just looks like rapid fire weird faces. And they should have chosen a different look for the Joker too, to be honest i liked it before i actually saw it in the movie.
Viola Davies character was not convincing at all as a goody-baddie.
As soon as the gang get to Midway City it turns into the Will Smith show. They may as well have called the film 'The Smith Squad.' All these so called ultimate baddies who follow no one but themselves, who defy law, order and hierarchy and anyone else tbh turn into a bunch of little sheep. The film makes him out to be the leader of them. And he's the least nutso guy! When have these kind of ultimate baddies/mentally deranged characters ever followed an average bad guy! I'm not a fan of Will Smith so maybe it stood out more to me but still it made no sense. He did most of the talking throughout, besides Harley Quinn and Boomerang who mainly had a bunch of one-liners. He was the voice of reason here!
Boomerang was my favourite character, he seemed the most interesting and was cool enough to expect a solo movie from, not that DC would.
I'd like to see Jared Leto's Joker in another film also, with more of a storyline. Besides those two though, i wouldn't care if any of the others in this appeared in any future DC films again. Only because they weren't presented well in this.
I hope there isn't another Suicide Squad film only because i'd rather see a different DC comic movie get a chance.
Fantastic Four was more entertaining and well made than this for me.
And the use of hit songs just felt forced. Not like say Guardians Of The Galaxy where the hit songs were few but important and elevated the scene and film.
