Excellent casting, pitiful story

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2016)

Freshly watched the movie right after it is aired in France. I have to admit that it turned out to be a disappointment.
Good:
The casting is excellent. Led by Will Smith, the principal actors have all delivered remarkable job. This is the only thing that made me stay the whole length of it.
Bad:
The story is so badly done. I don't want to comment on the exact story line since it would be too nice to say that it contains a story. However, I get it, for a super hero movie, we don't necessarily need a kick-ass story to appreciate it. The thing that annoyed me the most is the hypocrisy in the marketing campaign of the movie. Let me put it in a separate paragraph:
If you claim that this is a different super hero movie, and there's no classic characters and they are all villains, YOU HAVE TO HONOR YOUR WORDS!
The whole movie was filled with a classical mentality of ex-villains repenting his wrongs. I'm sorry but this is nothing near "evilness" and craziness you claimed in the ads.
There's NO ONE in this movie that is just evil or bad in this story. Joker and Harley are both quite impressive, but they are more of a symbol of craziness than evilness. All the other guys are dumb and optional. There's so much wasted potential. Maybe some of you will not like this review and feel that I'm against something abstract like "A classical American Righteous Mentality". For people that are so used to this, let me point out one thing explicitly: Having done something bad at some point of one's life then repenting it over a long period of time is simply called LIFE. The actual evilness starts from the moment you decide that you are NOT sorry about what you did and you'll continue to do so. The moment you repent, it certainly won't make you innocent nor free of the consequences, the evilness is gone.
If you are expecting a movie that delivers the actually human struggle and evilness, I'd say don't waste your time on this one. If you are just into special effects and like those actors, you might give it a go.
