If I leave a rating, somebody will just get triggered

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2016)

No really, that summary wasn't a joke. This suffers the Ghostbusters 2016 problem more than Ghostbusters 2016, at least from what I've seen. If you rate the movie too high, you'll look like an ironic hipster nobody wants to be around. Too low and you look like you hate DC. In the middle? My friend, you'll just look like a "casual viewer", and "your opinion doesn't count". There isn't any kind of leverage. Heck, people are probably getting triggered by this review right now, seeing as I haven't even begun talking about the actual movie AND haven't left a rating.
The entire reason I was hyped for this was because it is a movie basically about BATMAN VILLAINS. I love the villains from the Batman series so much I can basically recite them by memory alone. How many that I know are in this movie? 3. 2 of which are obvious. There's The Joker and Harley Quin, but also Killer Croc. Unfortunately, that's all my memory is good for, because I had not heard of Deadshot, Slipknot, or Boomerang before this movie. Nor Enchantress. Or Diablo... oh that's right, my experience with Batman Villains has been entirely based on LEGO Batman 1. Oops. Hey, at least I knew who Killer Croc was right? Also I know who Man-Bat, Killer Moth, and Hush are. I'm willing to bet you don't even know who they are. Either way, I was kinda disappointed there weren't more that I knew.
The characters themselves don't do that bad. The actors were nicely picked. Will Smith did a good job as Deadshot. However, the dumber Harley, who was already insane to begin with, was not a good choice. Making her just... what she is in this movie wasn't the best of options for her. Speaking of Harley, The Joker was bad. Not bad in a bad guy way, I mean just not a good actor. It's the same deal with him as it is with Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman, it just wasn't the right casting and portrayal. Except, for this one, he doesn't even need to be in it to begin with.
The comedy is kinda weak for a superhero movie. Maybe it's because I saw Iron Man right before this, but not a lot of jokes are worth the effort in this one.
The whole "setting up Justice League" thing is forced. Was there really a need to throw in Batman and Flash? They contribute next to nothing to the story, other than get three characters in prison.
But still, there are positives. The action was nice, and the characters are pretty memorable.
Does it all work? Not really. Am I glad I saw it? Yeah. Would I recommend it? I guess. Is it awful? Nope. But is it good? No.
