Little more than a jumbled mess

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2020)

Suicide Squad
2016
Little more than a jumbled mess, Suicide Squad will hurt your head if you actually try sitting and watching it for more than five minutes at a time. There is no real story, absolutely no character development, a script that serves more as a series of one liners, and editing that is non-existent. This movie is just a series of music videos that were strewn together with absolutely no regard for a plot.
What if Superman was bad? Who would fight him? Amanda Waller has that figured out
with Task Force X, a group of highly skilled and metahuman convicts. Now, with a terrorist incident and no one else to turn to, the Suicide Squad is sent in to save the day.
Let me just say that I really wanted to like this movie. After the atrocity that was Batman
v Superman, I was really hoping that DC could redeem themselves with this, their next comic book movie. I was so wrong. If you have never read any Suicide Squad comics or DC comics in general you are already hopelessly lost here, because the characters aren't exactly top tier. Take Captain Boomerang for example. If you didn't know who he was before, you sure don't know who he is by the end of this movie. But this isn't the only pitfall for this flick, it is actually just one of many. How about the lack of a script? No problem for this director who was also the writer, just play some music and have the actors do random things. This movie was so terrible.
The only thing actually watchable was Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Maybe skip this movie and go straight to Birds of Prey.
