Good acting, bad script.

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2016)

The movie has such a great cast, but the script lets it down. I really wanted to like Suicide Squad. I've been looking forward to it for a very long time. After finally seeing it, I feel quite disappointed. The actors do a great job and they make this very watchable. The dialogue is somewhat cringy at times and I wish they had spent a bit more time building the characters. Perhaps doing a couple of films showing their back stories would have been better. Really enjoyed seeing Jared Leto as the joker, would have loved it if they hadn't put almost all of his dialogue in the trailer. The funny bits in the film seemed to fall flat on the audience tonight. A couple of giggles here and there, but mostly very predictable humour. Margot Robbie is brilliant as Harley Quinn. Will Smith is great as Deadshot. Add a good Joker and you have the makings of an amazing movie. Really don't know how it still fell flat and didn't hit the spot. Shame about the effort from the actors. The studio seems to be rushing to get to the Justice League at the cost of quality.
