Disappointing and Boring!

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2016)

I just watched this movie and thought it was pretty bad. It has a boring story that takes like an hour to even develop. All of the characters are introduced, for whatever reason, because none of them are are really used to propel the movie forward. What was the purpose of half of them even in the movie? The Aussie, Katana, and Croc Man were all just basically extras in this movie for no reason.
This movie basically stars Will Smith, who I am generally a fan of, and Margot Robbie who I am liking more and more. They starred together in 2015's Focus, which I enjoyed quite a bit and gave a 7. Will Smith gives his regular recent Will Smith action performance, something like Hancock mixed with After Earth. He is fighting to see his daughter again. While Margot Robbie is clearly the highlight of this movie with her hotness throughout, she is also one of the worst parts with all the terribly annoying dialogue they give her! Seriously, she has got to have some of the most annoying, clichéd lines I've seen in recent movies. This unfortunately made her character unlikable. I don't understand why they had to make her character so dumb and annoying when she is supposed to be a psychiatrist... I know some of her lines were meant to be funny but they pretty much all fell flat.
Another highlight of this movie is Viola Davis in a pretty bad ass role for her as the leader of the squad, by force. She does her job well, and I am glad to see her in more and more big roles. The rest of the cast does a passable job moving this over blown budget monster through the motions. Jared Leto does an annoying Joker too, hideous makeup, and he just doesn't come across as "menacing".
The story was boring like I said... Some witch wants to take over the world...And these magical special effects... I just didn't dig the whole magic world, crushing the heart, whatever lore it was about... It just didn't feel like the Gotham world, even though Batman (Ben Affleck) appeared in it. It felt like some supernatural movie or something, not a comic book movie. I am generally a fan of comic book movies, but I feel they have been overdone for about 10 years, with no relief in sight. I am not that familiar with the Suicide Squad comics, so I didn't really connect with any of the characters. I wanted to like Joker, with how hyped he was before the movie was released, but I just didn't. I don't rate anything a 1 or a 2, those types of movies don't really get green lit for major Hollywood budgets. The only thing I might rate 1 or 2 would maybe be some poorly edited Youtube trash or something. I haven't seen a movie yet that I would rate a 1. I do dislike Suicide Squad though, and probably won't watch it again. I may check out the sequel though, because I want to see if they will improve Joker's story line next time out. My lowest rated Hollywood movie so far was V/H/S Viral and I gave that a 3...That movie was terrible. This movie was pretty bad, but it had pretty good production values, great costumes, and some OK special effects. Watch at your own risk, you've been warned. 4/10
