This film should never have been released.

Rating: 1/10 (25 February 2017)

Suicide Squad is a brilliant example of a failed film. The story makes no sense at all, the characters make no sense and the whole experience just leaves you asking how a film can go this wrong and still get released. It seems like several different scripts were filmed, then edited together into three or four different films that were then chopped down and put into a single, confusing film. Some plot points are set up, but never resolved. While other scenes in the film seem to be the resolution of a plot point whose setup was left out of the film. And it's not, as one critic hypothesizes, that this is the results of comic book writers let loose in the movie business. Im a longtime DC comics reader and this film was every bit the confusing mess to me, as it was for casual moviegoers.
