Dry and Scripted, TBH

Rating: 4/10 (6 August 2016)

Before you hate me, hear me out: this movie wasn't necessarily bad: it just wasn't good. It definitely did not meet expectations, and people that don't admit that are quite sincerely kidding themselves.
Listen: the show is so scripted and you can just hear it in every, single, scene. Sure, it's cutesy and funny, you laugh here and there, but even more so, you face palm yourself because it all sounds like it was written two days ago, filmed yesterday, and released today. Really, it sounds like that. The script is terrible, well, either that or the director executes the script very poorly on screen.
In addition, the plot. Oh, the plot. So interesting: it is so predictable at parts, but then so flat out confusing at others that it is hard to feel emotionally connected to it. It's tough when the whole time you are squinting trying to understand exactly how everything is connected.
The back stories of the characters, I mean, they tried. But, to be honest, it wasn't motivating. Harley Quinn, who was supposed to be the most BA character in the whole movie, who basically was the key marketing item in the film (yes, even bigger than Deadshot), was weak! This is NOT a spoiler when I say she really wasn't all that intimidating. They tried, but I wasn't convinced.
Will Smith does go through his role well. He deserves the most credit. Other characters, though? Ugh...that's just how I felt.
Listen: they rushed this, folks. I'm serious. This film was rushed and you felt it the whole time. Basically zero character development, jokes that basically fall flat, and a waste of talent in actors. I'm excited for other DC movies to come out, still, but this one is not going to be their golden child, let me tell you.
Like I said, don't be a hater, but, c'mon, you have to admit this wasn't that good.
