Lots of fun parts but meaningless story-line :(

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2016)

Suicide squad is more fun than the serious tone of Batman v Superman. It has a lot more humour. Characters are surprisingly funny and there are lots of jokes and one-liners that are total hit. Even Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang is a likable presence (yeah miracles do happen).Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller are the stand out performances. Will Smith does a decent job as Deadshot. He is one of the few characters in the film who has been given any bit of characterization. I did enjoy watching the new portrayal of Joker. But his appearances were few, made no sense in the context of the plot and felt very random. So don't go to the movie expecting a lot of the Joker. Out of all the characters in this movie, Katana's character was the biggest wasted opportunity. But the weakest point of the movie is the antagonist. None of the fight scenes have any real tension or meaning. In short, you will like the first act, but will find it hard to stay connected in the 2nd and 3rd acts of the film. And you will be annoyed with the finale. I'm giving 7 rating only because of some awesome acting from the previously mentioned characters.
