Characters were cool........plot/story.....not so much

Rating: 6/10 (12 August 2016)

I'm not a die-hard super hero fan, so when I got invited to watch this movie I had no expectations of it. I wasn't expecting it to be very good or very bad. And that's kind of where it was for me, somewhere in the middle. If I had watched only the first 35 minutes of the movie, I would have left with a much better review of it. I thought that the characters were awesome. They were funny, quirky, strange, tough, and unique. And for me that was just about all I got out of the movie; the characters. The plot line was not interesting, not original, and no one who enjoyed the movie is out there saying "oh wow that story was awesome." But again, the movie did a good job introducing us to these comic characters.
*Spoiler* Not really but whatever From a technical standpoint it seems as though they tried really really hard to make this movie, and then got tired at some point and said who cares, lets wrap it up as is, people will watch it anyways. There was a scene where the squad is in a helicopter and it gets shot and the way it came down was done well; at first it slowly circled around in flames, then crashed and tumbled its way to a stop. Moments later when the boss lady, Amanda Waller is in a helicopter that gets shot the same way in the same place, the way it came down was a weird animated super fast need-for-speed video game looking metal crash and slide. It was very weird and threw me off.
Again, the characters were cool, story......not so much.
