Great characters, not so great story

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2016)

So I got back from from the screening of "suicide squad" and I have a couple of things to say about it. For me it was a fun Summer blockbuster movie, with many flaws, but also a lot of good sides to it. First of I want to point out that it's not really the movie that deserves this score, but the actors and their portrayals of the characters.
ACTORS: First of all, like everyone says, there is no better actress than Margot Robbie to play the role of Harley Quinn. She's funny, sexy and of course crazy. William smith really plays his role very well. Deadshot being as badass as he is and with a nice background story to fill his persona. The guy playing Diablo is also very cool and he plays his role very well. Then you have Jared leto as "The Joker". I guess I can't really judge his role, because I haven't really seen him a lot in the movie. Leto's portrayal is so much different from what we're used to, that I'm still getting used to him. But it was very intriguing, so hopefully we'll see him in a next movie if he decides to play the role again (seeing the bad reviews and all..).
Than lastly I want to talk about Captain Boomerang portrayed by Jay Courtney. I really liked this role. He was so funny and I really don't understand the fuzz about him playing the role. Every time he was doing something stupid, everyone laughed in the cinema. He added real charisma to the character, which I really liked.
For me, the rest of the cast really didn't matter to me, because I didn't like their character or the actors playing them.
STORY:
I really enjoyed the first hour of the movie. Actually most scenes in the beginning and the prison I thought were really good, but the last half hour is what made this movie going from a score from perhaps 9 to 7. WB PLEASE UNDERSTAND: we don't f*cking care about CGI in a movie. yes sometimes it's fun, but movies nowadays waste their money on these graphics, instead of gathering a couple of people who know these characters to make a great movie. Sometimes I really wonder. Does WB ask fans what they think about the script before going into production or they just give these production chances to directors who think they are fans ??? KILLER CROC ?? what happened to that guy. Why is he wearing a f*cking jacket. He is supposed to be big, mean and above all a CANNIBAL. Give him a good story=> boy gets disease, One day he takes a bath, mom finds out, she tries to scrub hiss quills away, until he bleeds, he gets bullied in school and then eats a hand from a classmate and so his dark persona begins. The killer croc in the movie wasn't the one I expected. But then again when I saw him on the poster I already knew that this wasn't really Killer Croc
CAMEO'S: There are some cameo's in this movie. Critics are saying that they don't matter. So every time Stan lee comes into a Marvel movie, it means something, gimme a break !!! I liked the cameo's, so more of that please.
Main conclusion:
Write a story about these characters, get deeper into their emotions. The main villain shouldn't be a CGI villain or some big aura in the sky. Make it a well known DC villain with machiavellistic persona (like the joker, penguin,...) STORY STORY STORY. ASK FANS what they think about the story, listen to their advice and then start production. I really hate CGI, because despite the "cool" effects it brings, it's so fake. If I want CGI I 'll just play a game. CGI is the cancer that is killing movies nowadays.
BTW loved the soundtrack and it really doesn't remind me of Guardians of the Galaxy. Not everything should be linked to Marvel (also a fan).
