Not worth your time or your money

Rating: 4/10 (8 August 2016)

Going in, I really wanted to like this movie. I'm a huge fan of Heath Ledger's Joker and I wanted to see what Leto brought to the table. Also, I read a lot about Suicide Squad being targeted unfairly with unfavorable reviews and wanted to do my part to support it. Unfortunately, I found that the poor reviews were actually well on point.
The humor is cheesy and awkward, the story has glaring inconsistencies and plot holes you could drive a truck through, and the acting is terrible (save a couple of exceptions). Arguably the main attraction of the movie, the Joker gets minimal screen time as well. I don't remember the last time it happened, but I actually face-palmed at some of the "plot twists" and the extremely cheesy one-liners. It just doesn't seem like Ayer sees his viewers like people with a brain and capable of thinking for themselves. I really did feel insulted by the shallowness of it all, so much so that I felt compelled to leave a review for my fellow movie-buffs.
Don't waste your time on this one.
