Complete Letdown, even when I expected nothing

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2016)

Considering I had low expectations going into this, I can honestly say I was completely surprised by just how lousy of a film turned out to be.
The script was the lamest I've seen in ages (A 12 year old could do better). The pointless "assemble the group to fight the bad person" plot has been done countless times (Avengers, anyone?)
There was weak chemistry between the characters and I didn't like any of them. Jared Leto's Joker is a weak imitation of all the previous actors/voice actors, at best (maybe that's why he was barely in the movie?). Will Smith acted like....Will Smith. Margot Robie's lines were stupid and didn't fit her as well as her short shorts did. Viola Davis' time was completely wasted in this movie, especially now considering the countless awards she has won.
And the fact that they have to explain/introduce the characters by name on screen only proves that most of the characters are known only to the die hard comic book geeks and/or are hardly worth presenting in the first place. Many of them barely have any lines.
The soundtrack over uses popular songs and all felt out of place and unnecessary. Are you selling a soundtrack or showing a film? And as much as I love "Bohemian Rhapsody" it doesn't belong in the DC universe. The rest of the score was better, but had no distinct or memorable themes.
There were too many scenes at night or otherwise in the dark that were all poorly lit, and too much CGI as usual. The final "boss" was boring and nothing you haven't seen before.
I saw it on pay per view, but I wouldn't even recommend this if you get it for free on cable a few months from now. The movie was lame enough that I don't even care about a sequel. I left the film not caring about any of the characters, who worn or lost, or how the film ended.
If this is the future of comic book movies, then the genre is doomed.
