A mediocre antihero movie with a great cast.

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2016)

The best part of the movie is the cast. Margot Robbie is great as Harley Quinn and she steals the show. Will Smith as Deadshot gets close. Their characters get more screen time than the others. They havebetter and longer backstories, so there's more depth to the characters.
Only character I didn't enjoy was Jared "douchebag" Letos Joker who just doesn't impress. He purrs and growls in a weird way and is not particularly menacing or intimidating. He is decent but c'mon, Joker is supposed to be so much more. Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson did it so much better.
The storyline feels disjointed at parts and gives the movie a rushed feel. Biggest problem of the movie however are the antagonists that are quite boring and the third act that becomes a generic battle without any suspense.
Overall Suicide Squad is not terrible, just quite mediocre. The cast is great but ultimately that is not enough as this movie should be amazing. At least the story doesn't jump around all over the place or drag along too much like Batman v Superman and it's a slightly better film than that good looking mess of a movie.
