Average, wasted opportunities.

Suicide Squad review:
I went into this extremely skeptical, but optimistic.
Margot Robbie as Harley did not disappoint at all, fantastic acting and script-writing, DC can really go places with this version of Harley Quinn. One thing that bugged me about Harley was the way she dressed, not a major thing, but did annoy me slightly.
Will smith's acting was on point as usual, and really fit into this role. Deadshot is another fantastic character and I hope to see more of him in future endeavors by DC.
Killer Croc had potential to be a great main character in Suicide Squad, but due to awful scripting and scenes, Croc was wasted.
Jared Leto's acting was amazing from what I saw, but I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed with the amount of stuff that had to be cut, but I live in hope that the deleted scenes will make it onto the home-video release.
Cara Delevingne was great, probably the best acting I've personally seen from her. The Enchantress is a great character and Cara played her heart out and brought her to life.
The overall storytelling and plot line of Suicide Squad was good, but left a lot to be desired, very fast moving in terms of story, which cut back on the backgrounds of the characters, but the profiles of which were done excellently. The text and graphics that were partnered when introducing the characters was a great touch, really attractively layout and logos for each character. When trying to conserve time in the film, this was definitely the best choice to introduce the characters.
Conclusion:
Suicide Squad was a good movie, with a lot to niggle at, and plot holes that were left unfilled. The acting was outstanding from Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Will Smith and Jai Courtney. I was impressed with the choice of songs that were used in the soundtrack, some great older tunes that really fit the feel of the movie. The overall feel of the film wasn't as colonel or edgy as it seemed, but the gritty, dark nature of DC films lately fit the Suicide Squad just right. I would love to see these characters in movies of their own films / in a future DC movie.
Final score: 6.5/10
