Don't Listen to the Critics

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2016)

I find it hard to believe that the critics and I watched the same movie. This is easily the best DC movie since TDK. Everybody is saying that the villain is terrible and Cara Delevingne is a terrible actress which I do not understand at all. She had barely any lines in the movie and was perfectly fine considering the material she was working with. Her performance was nothing amazing but I do not know how critics can sit there and say she was terrible. Everybody makes that same argument about the villain yet in every marvel movie ever (excluding The Avengers) the villain has been 100 times worse. I enjoyed Enchantress for what she was.
Jared Leto's performance as The Joker was very refreshing and different. With only about 15 minutes of screen time I still believe that this Joker is the most true to the comics incarnation yet (aside from the way he looks). I enjoyed the fact that he was this big mob boss with businesses etc. Of course there are always going to be the unfair comparisons to Heath Ledger's performance which is obviously very hard to top. I can't say Jared Leto had a better performance because he wasn't in the movie nearly long enough to judge. However, I can say that I enjoyed this version of The Joker far more than Heath Ledger's.
In my opinion the characters that steal the show are Deadshot played by Will Smith, Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie and Amanda Waller played by Viola Davis. I even enjoyed Diablo played by Jay Hernandez. Will Smith is extremely charismatic as always and actually makes you feel for him which is strange because he is a villain. Margot Robbie is the definitive live action Harley Quinn; after seeing her performance I cannot see anyone playing the role better. She is straight out of the comics. Viola Davis is one scary woman as Amanda Waller. I would not want to mess with her. I would be more scared of Amanda Waller than I would be scared of Enchantress. In my opinion, she is the main villain of the movie, and her performance is near perfection.
As always, do not rely on the critics' opinions when going into a movie. Everyone has their own opinions and it is up to you to form your own. Remember, these are the same critics that said American Hustle was better then The Wolf of Wall Street. The same critics that gave an aggregate score of 73% to the absolutely horrendous Ghostbusters(2016). Please do not listen to the critics.
