Wow, that was awful

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2016)

I had a lot of hope for this movie. The commercials made it look so good that I really wanted to like it, but I can't achieve the impossible. It starts off getting a feel for the character and an introduction to them. This is all good and helps set a basic idea of what's going on and what will happen. You see Viola Davis pitch the whole Suicide Squad idea and it's all set up. When the squad is sent out you think they are going to accomplish one thing (that I won't say for the spoilers), but then towards the end it get's weird and unclear. Also they started to throw in random character that we didn't know about like the lady from Japan and the one guy with the cornrows. The Joker was such a random character. I understand to know Harley Quinn's background we need to know about him, but like he was so irrelevant. I feel like the writing was just really bad in general because the second half of the movie was a hot mess and the cheesy one liners. Then the acting was awful. I love Margot Robbie, but she and Jared Leto were terrible. Like really, really bad. I think the director/writer was just so excited about being able to go so many different ways with this movie, that he wanted to do them all (that wasn't a good idea). If they had a different writer/director this could be a great movie. Too bad they didn't.
