An Incompetent Mess

Rating: 2/10 (1 September 2016)

To start, I don't know anything about any of the characters in this movie. I didn't have any backstory preconceived notions about how they should act. I completely relied on the movie to get me to side with these people.
Having said that, the movie begins by introducing us to these characters, in an extremely awkward montage complete with randomly inserted classic rock songs. The introductions are lame because being told about these characters through voice-over is never as interesting as seeing it. Show, don't tell.
From there on the movie continues its messy narrative with bits and pieces from about 5 different movies with many lapses in logic and tonal inconsistencies. Nothing in this movie worked for me, not even Deadshot or Harley, who had robotic dialogue that served no purpose other than to highlight their already simplistic personality traits. Maybe they're more well-rounded in the comics, but I'm talking about what I've seen on the screen, and it wasn't anything approaching interesting. I won't talk about anyone else, because the filmmakers clearly didn't care about them.
I'm happy people out there are enjoying this. Good for you. I wish I could say there was something here that was redeemable for me.
