Rotten Tomatoes Aren't Wrong this Time

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2016)

Like any DC fan boy, I was waiting for this with bated breaths. But stepping in and seeing the way it starts, kills you. The film falls apart right from the beginning: The witch and her brother who come without much background, decide to go for a demolition plan, again in a massive scale without a lot of depth to their motivation to build a machine to destroy all of mankind. We have only been introduced to how the unconventional Task Force X have a difficulty getting through, against all the restrictions from the government and just when we expect to see more of a slow elation towards the build up: finally gelling together and hitting it off, they're brought together, just like that and made to fight against the opposite forces. Harley Quin was only as good as the trailers while the Joker disappointed and don't pin this on the benchmark Heath set, even if we see this as an independent performance, this is shallow. It is clichéd beyond understanding, it almost makes you wonder whether this is an English language Bollywood film: the daughter issue, the boy friend issue, the brother issue, the girl friend issue, you have it all, the only thing I missed was an "aaa aa aaa" sung in chorus by a Karan-Johar-regular orchestra that I am used to with so much drama. Are they really the villains we were looking forward to? Not Me!
