Cut to shreds

Rating: 5/10 (8 August 2016)

The film is cut to shreds and its very apparent. Editing is some of the worst I've seen in a while, it gives the viewer no sense of time and space and butchers the structure. The original vision for the film can be seen under the surface and is even clearer if you look up what was cut. Feeling a little lied to, the advertisements don't reflect the final product and Joker has second billing but is reduced to barley quarter of an hour. His scenes in particular are so ham-fistedly altered and cut to their bare-bones that its very jarring. Dead-shot and Harley Quinn were strong and I enjoyed interactions between the characters yet ultimately came out frustrated.
