Not bad movie, though failed by the aggressive PR

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2016)

I've finally watched the most expected movie of the summer and maybe even of the year. What can I say now? I have really mixed feelings and now I'll try to summarize them. The whole situation about this film in the world is clear. People are disappointed and so am I, but this movie is actually not bad. I'm sure this movie was killed by its aggressive PR company. For 6 months we were fed with trailers, teasers, official pics, songs etc. By the end of this company the expectation was unbearable and we were sure we're gonna watch the best movie of all times. And after all we get the NOT BAD movie. That's unforgivable. Let's start with the actors and theirs on-screen incarnations. Whole movie can be split in two parts. The first is the actual presentation of heroes and the second is the action. And that's where the movie begins to fail. There are a lot of characters and that's also a problem as the development of each is rather unbalanced. Actually only two of all deserve our attention. Of course that's Harley Quinn and Deadshot. I don't have any grudge against Margot Robbie, she is awesome and the best part of the whole movie. I can say that's the best realization of Harley in the movies. Waiting for her solo movie. Deadshot turned out to be the most interesting and well-developed of all. He has his past, his relationships and the motivation, cause the others suffer the lack of it. What about the rest of heroes... Boomerang seemed interesting, but he stayed absolutely undeveloped, Killer Croc looked interesting, but that's all. Slipknot...what the **** was that, are you serious?? Kara Delevingne is beautiful herself, but her Enchantress is one big disappointment. Viola Davis created the violent and smart manipulator and Rick Flagg wasn't really interesting. And yeah, we have The Joker. Jared Leto is cool and his presentation is really good, but I have the questions about the way Joker was made here. The gangster, the mafia... I don't know, The Joker has too little on-screen time and looks completely unnecessary. The plot is the weakest link of the movie, the main antagonist is simply nothing. I think better not to have antagonist at all than have the one we got here. The scenario isn't just simple, it's not developed and is full of plot holes. One of the huge advantages of the movie is its soundtrack. All tracks are really god-like and their mix leaves only pleasurable impressions. To sum it all up, this movie is not bad, but it isn't what we expected all the time. A lot of problems, weak scenario, lotta strange and stupid moments, inability to understand what is this film - drama or comedy... Of course you'll watch this movie anyway and there is a great chance of improving in the sequel. So we wait and hope, but this movie is unambiguously not the shot we've expected.
