All over the place in terms of...Everything

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2018)

This movie was upsetting and frustrating in so many ways, the most being that every once in a while it shows signs that it could have been a good movie. if only...somebody didn't...just screw it up so bad. SO BAD
And you already know it's bad. When suicide squad came out the internet was flooded with detailed critiques of its writing, editing, pacing, tone, how often they prefer to tell instead of show, racist and sexist portrayals of characters etc. Margot Robbie is a good actress. Have you seen I, Tonya? She was GREAT but Meryl Streep couldn't even pull a good Harley out of this script.
Will Smith and Viola Davis, however were allowed to shine which is weird 'cause I just mentioned how this movie was racist and sexist AF. There are moments with them that are so good it's INFURIATING because it makes you wonder where the heck they came from and why the whole movie isn't like this. Shoot why isn't the whole DC Universe like this? You have Amanda Waller out here KILLIN IT meanwhile you have Killer Croc and how all his lines seem to have been added in post the way they don't really fit and the way he's always the only character on screen when he talks. And the scene where they first introduce Enchantress was super creepy and cool but by the end she just makes out with people to turn them into power rangers putties and does that...wiggle thing. there are so many inconsistencies in every aspect of this movie. I'm so frustrated.
I'm really trying not to go off and go over EVERYTHING and it's hard. There's just so much that was wrong and so many little tweaks that could have fixed it.
And like, Beware the Batman (RIP gone too soon) made me fall in love with Katana as a character and they just. "That's KATANA her SWORD takes the SOULS of its victims so you better WATCH OUT"
