A failed attempt by DC to mimic the Avengers franchise

Rating: 4/10 (6 August 2016)

So, Suicide Squad was a below average movie. 4/10.
The GOOD: Visually appealing. I was really impressed with how spot on the effects and stylized scenes were. Soundtrack comprised of already established popular songs worked well with these scenes in the beginning of the movie, despite their frequency. Delivery of all lines of dialogue (even the terrible ones) were great and well-acted.
Will Smith as Deadshot was the most entertaining character on screen... and Margot Robbie as Harley was the hottest thing under the sun (and I really mean that) as you had to admit it out loud, sometimes. Her mannerisms went well with her overall acting performance despite flat writing. El Diablo was the most engaging and most developed out of the lot of supporting, less popular characters. A few overall chuckles and short scenes of some really cool moments. Little nods to the already established DC lore were there.
The BAD: Jared Leto's Joker was one of the most unconvincing performances I've ever seen in any sort of film in a long time. Not once did I ever feel like his Joker could be realistically intimidating or hold enough bravado to impress any of his criminal cohorts and right-minded female viewers, alike - with such unconvincing 'tough guy' acting. His makeup and costume wasn't half bad but I couldn't help but feel he was trying WAY too hard and his face way too smooth and gentle looking to be Joker. Croc also sucked for the most part. Every other character just seemed pretty average as they got left behind in Deadshot's huge shadow nearly every other scene, for better or for worse.
Character clichés were here and there, alongside frequent cringe-tastical writing. I shook my head during some lines, even though the performance of the respected actors were more often than not, perfect, but when the dialogue was bad... it was BAD. The overall story could've been done better. There's some nonsensical plot elements for what was provided and better writing could've been made for a movie with such an interesting premise. I feel like a lot more could've been done with it - and if the events of the plot were on a smaller, tight-knit, more behind-the-scenes scale rather than another "the world is doomed plot", I think I would've believed it to be more of an interesting movie. By the time it was over, I didn't feel invested and just wanted to leave.
Yeah, the movie kinda sucked. Wouldn't watch it again. Thanks for that, DC.
