How I committed Suicide on Friendship Day

Rating: 5/10 (7 August 2016)

The world needs superheroes. But what are they without super villains?
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
The prime super-villain, Enchantress and her machine-god-like bro, is way too comic-al. Yes, pun intended. But why does the sis-bro duo want world domination? Unclear. And the loony bin turns upside down as Amanda Waller begins recruiting. She plays one go-getter, twisted character, someone whom you'd not want to be pally with/mess with in real life.
Splash of neons like a breath of fresh air, a cheer leader with a baseball bat, waddling her cute pigtails and twinkling eyes, and a combo of minxy madness and toxicity, Harley Quinn is played by Margot Robbie. You want to live her idiosyncrasies, you want to jump in joy and sink into despair, and fall in love with a madman, her Puddin', her Joker  just because. She wisecracks, she shows off her inner child, yet she's confident with her sexuality. "This is just a whole lotta' pretty and a whole lotta' crazy," as they say about her. Whole lotta' love for her, I say!
Jared Leto's Joker has no character development and appears sporadically like all guest appearances go. Barring the scenes where he's lying on the floor surrounded by knives – in all sorts of varieties, or where he plunges down after Harley Quinn into a pool of gooey, toxic stuff. The metal teeth, the method acting and the tattoos don't help. I can scream Heath Ledger's name out aloud and state that he was, to me, the creepiest Joker ever. Think Jim Carey or Jack Nicholson – way better. Sorry Leto, you were a letdown.
Will Smith's Deadshot plays it cool, funny, quirky, wherever necessary and as you guessed, as expected. He almost appears like a vamped up version of the dad from 'Pursuit of Happiness'. The other villains are Diablo with his pyrokinetic powers and a tragic backstory, the super angry Killer Croc, a clichéd Captain Boomerang, and the sword- swinger Katana – so hugely underdeveloped a character, and almost a sorry sight.
What's good, sorry, great? The brilliant soundtrack which takes you back to your childhood – Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Without Me by Eminem, Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC – and to pep it up there's 'Purple Lamborghini' by Skrillex and 'Sucker for Pain' by Wiz Khalifa, Imagine Dragons and Li'l Wayne. Yes, give it a listen. I bet you'll fall for it.
A film that acts like a filler between 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' and JLA, what else is there to say? As Killer Croc says, "Got me a sewer to crawl back into". Here, I go back to work.
