I liked it!

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2016)

I enjoyed this movie! But I also enjoyed the critical disappoint that was Batman V Superman. The soundtrack to this film is great like Guardains of the Galaxy not that, that is a reason to see a movie. But I felt that Will Smith gave a better performance in this film than he did in Concussion the film he and his wife felt he was cheated out of a nomination for but I feel he didn't earn it with his performance in that film. Also Margot Robbie as Harley I felt was great she called The Joker, Mister J and Puddin like she did in the animated series were she first came from there's also a flashback scene of her in her "original" outfit. I was worried they would just overalls sexualize her and reduce her to eye candy and while she is that both sexualized and eye candy she is also one of two characters were are given a backstory for and are more fully developed. Margot portrayal was inspired and she pulled off the quirky humor/insanity/love that are Harley. I don't know how I feel about Jared Leto's Joker as he looked so "thug" line in the film with all his tattoos and capped teeth. The way he acted as The Joker was good it's more of his appearance that I have some "issues" with I guess. Also he doesn't have much screen time as The Joker is a background character who pops up randomly through out the film much like he did in The Dark Knight only even less screen time in this film and his actions aren't as plot driving as the were in TDK. I don't know that I buy the conspiracy theory that Disney/Marvel is paying off critics to write bad reviews on DC films but I do feel they are criticized more heavily and far less favorably than their Marvel counterparts. One critic being that the DC films seem to have a darker tone than the lighthearted and more humorous Marvel films but DC characters that have been portrayed in recent films aren't known for their humor or wit and DC Comics tend to be darker in nature than Marvel ones so I feel that is an unfair critic considering the source material.
At any rate go see the film and decide for yourself but as a fan of movies and comics I enjoyed it. It may not be the best "superhero" ever made but it is a good film with solid performances and the first female super villain and no I don't mean Harley but the actual "big bad" of the film. I hope they make more Squad films and that the DC universe continues to grow and get better and reach the success and quality of Marvel's films!
