Not the best, but Sort of enjoyable...

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2016)

This movie has SUPER low ratings on Rotten tomatoes and the reviews make this sound the WORST comic book movie EVER made! This movie follows a bunch of super villains who are press ganged into working for US Government and work as its on the ground assets. After Superman is gone, they don't have a first response team and they decide to use these expendable criminals for the job.
I have NO idea why this movie is facing such a huge critical backlash. Articles calling it the worst movie ever made etc etc is just over the top and meaningless. It would be safe to say, the critics got it wrong this time.
How cool is it to see the flashbacks of these villains and heroes like Batman and the Flash apprehending some of them! the start is pretty good, it almost like a proper comic book where you have small cameos of other heroes randomly without making it a big deal...
The positives in the movie are Will Smith as Deadshot and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. They both absolutely shine in this movie. Surprising, when it comes to performances, Jai Courtney as Captain boomerang was pretty good! This guy is usually REALLY bad in movies such as Terminator Genysis but somehow he was pretty good in this movie. other actors do a decent enough job, but nothing worth a mention. The score / music track is a mixed bag with a lot of 90's hits being played at random times.
Now we come to negatives. It might seem like I am listing a LOT of them, but seeing the movie, somehow it not all that glaring.
1. Joker. This Joker s just PLAIN bad. Like a 0/10. Seen better performances in a C Grade film. This is hands down the worst joker EVER committed to film, this included the 1966 version. The first scene with him and Harley in a strip joint is just cringe worthy and it doesn't look like the director actually made that scene, it seems like a bad add on. His Ha ha ha was SO bad, I wanted to shut my ears and shout at him to shut the HELL up. Which moron came up with this joker ?
2. The editing. What wrong with WB movies? Same as batman V superman, the editing in this ALL over the place. But thankfully unlike BvS, this movie isn't complex and nuanced and hence the bad editing doesn't hurt it so badly. For example, there is a night scene, then suddenly without any kind of transition, it's a day scene. It jarring and surprising to see such a bad edit in a big studio movie.
3. The Villain. Hands down the WORST villain ever done in a big budget movie including the fart cloud in Green Lantern. The villain (Spoilers- Minor) is Enchantress and even tho is 100% smoking HOT, she can't act at all. She is literally dancing in one major villainous scene. I don't mean this figuratively, she is grooving like Micheal Jackson in BAD. WHO THE HELL came up with that crap ? What was his villainous plan ? GOD knows, it was stupid and badly done.
4. The direction. WB movies are all suffering from this. This is just badly directed or maybe just cut bad in the edit. The movie is good only because the performances are VERY strong. But they didn't get the feel of a city in danger or people dying, evacuation, nothing was done right. Wish it had more time to setup the city and what was at stake.
Despite all this, the movie is not bad or UN-watchable. It's a simple plot with not many twists and its easy to keep up despite the disjointed edits and bad direction.
Overall its worth a watch for comic book fans IF you are not expecting a master piece.
Rating : 5.5/10 . Definitely NOT as bad as the critics are saying, its watchable and at times fun!
