How Did This Get Such Bad Reviews??

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2016)

I do not understand how this got bad reviews at all! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and I am super harsh on any type of film. This movie did have its problems, as almost all movies do, but I thought that this film was awesome!
First off, the cast could not have been better. Margot Robbie nails her role as Harley Quinn and I really do hope that she gets her own movie in the future. Viola Davis really made you hate her character (Amanda Waller), which means she did a fantastic job as well. Will Smith also did a great job as Deadshot, and he really carried the film (along with Robbie).
The best part of the film, however, was Jared Leto as the Joker. Seriously, I could not have been more pleased with the way the Joker was portrayed. I do feel like they should've included him more in the movie though. I keep reading that people are unhappy with the Joker now, and I think that's just because they are either biased against Leto, kidding themselves, or comparing him to Heath Ledger. Leto didn't try to be like Ledger at all, and yet was thoroughly creepy and I feel like he did a fantastic job. I hope to see him in future films from DC (especially if he's in the Batman movie directed by Ben Affleck).
Like I said, there are some problems with the film. Cara Delevingne did fine as the Enchantress at the beginning, but the way they handled her character towards the end of the film was just stupid. The ending scene didn't feel like the rest of the film. Her corny lines ruined the scene (along with Rick Flag's lines). I think that the editing of the film felt disjointed in some places. One scene would be super dark and depressing, then the next everyone would be joking around. The film is saved at the end by the surprise ending with Harley and the Joker.
Overall though, this film was extremely entertaining and I would definitely see it again. The score is also fantastic. I'm so surprised that it got only like a 29% on RT. I don't understand how a movie like this can score so low, but yet a movie such as Iron Man 2 or Captain America 1 can get like 75%. Those films were absolutely terrible. Critics were way too harsh on this movie. Don't listen to them! Go see it and make your own opinion.
Pros of the Film: -Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Viola Davis all are fantastic in their roles.
-Cameos from Batman and the Flash
-Side characters are great! (Boomerang, Katana, El Diablo, Killer Croc), sort of wish they were in it more.
-Soundtrack and Score
-The Joker!!!!
-Entertaining and fast paced throughout
Cons of the Film: -The Enchantress (at the end), also Rick Flag and Slipknot (why was he in this film?)
-Corny lines at the end
-Editing in some parts
I would give this movie about a 7.5, but since critics were too harsh, I'll give it a solid 8/10
