Good....... But........... Minor Spoilers

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2016)

As a huge DC fan I couldn't wait to see this film, most of it didn't disappoint.
If you have read new 52 suicide squad this is so true to the comics you won't be disappointed. Robbie and Smith are fantastic and the plot is fun although it misses most of the laugh out loud moments a MCU film has.
Lots of folks are talking about the tonal shift half was through (which is more like 25% of the way in) but that made sense to me. The squad start in prison, have nothing to loose and the film demonstrates that by bring jovial. Later in as they are put on a suicide mission their bad ass nature emerges and proves why these guys are in super max.
Then the bad, and I mean horrific......
I love the joker, I have him tattooed on my body, I like 30 seconds to Mars Jared Leto's band but the combination of the 2 left a very sour taste.
When he first appeared I thought I got where they where going, not wanting to copy Nolans/Ledgers vision of the character they where turning him into a psycho mob boss, the novelty lasted 30 seconds to hell then I wanted to see him gone. This portrayal has no redeeming features, he is naff beyond all belief, just horrid. And this isn't in a Joffrey GoT style it's he's so hammy you want to walk out when he's on screen.
This film will be great on blu-ray where the joker parts but all in all very much enjoyed
