I really wanted to like this movie...

Rating: 3/10 (8 August 2016)

I really wanted to like this movie but it was so disappointing. I'll take you through why I didn't like it. Like all movies, it comes down to the script. The script for this movie is terrible. Plain and simple. It is childishly cheesy at parts. Some of the events that take place... I literally sighed in the cinema. Jared Leto's portrayal of the Joker is bad too. It's just wacky... not crazy, not mad, just terrible. This makes me really sad. Even after Heath Ledger's gritty and genius portrayal of the Joker, I thought that Leto could do a good job, after all, he is a great actor... but it is just weird and he is hardly in the movie. The characters have no characteristics - that is, consistent character traits that define them - one minute they are selfish but comical villains, the next, they are one big happy family trying to save the world! Moreover, there are so many character arcs in this film that every line of dialogue is exposition! It consists of one character telling another about their or someone else's backstory. The villain: Enchantress (if you could not tell by the trailers) is just another run of the mill villain, who wants to kill and destroy because... Not to mention shine a bright blue light in the sky while doing it... which is in every comic book movie now! Why DC?????? I am a DC. But Marvel films / TV shows are winning hands down at the moment. DC please get your act together! While you wait for them to, watch civil war. It will be a much more enjoyable and satisfying way to spend your time.
p.s. how much did marvel pay me to write this review? A BILLION DOLLARS (credit only to be spent at Disneyland)
