The most ridiculous movie ever?

Rating: 4/10 (4 June 2017)

I get it, This is comic book stuff, But come on, should it be that far fetched? As a DC fan I really hoped for this to be better, and I actually liked the 2 Superman movies of the DCEU despite what the critics said, but this one big plot-hole of a movie is too much even for me. Jared Leto is absolutely magnetizing as the Joker, and I could even fall for his and Harley's love story, but it feels like Ayer was interested so much in making this movie different, colorful and psychedelic, that he gave up any plausibility or realism, hence the beautiful but silly scene in which they dive into rainbow coloured chemicals. And anyway, you can sell us that a suicide squad of this sort would include Deadshot, El Diablo or the other dangerous criminals with special expertise, but what makes Harley Queen qualify for Task Force X more than any trained soldier? And let's say for some reason her madness makes her an especially ruthless warrior, why on earth would they send her to battlefield with that cheeky outfit and a... baseball club? Deadshot's arc with the lovable Will Smith and the little daughter story was almost compelling, until when the witch offers everyone to fulfill their deepest wish, and he dreams about killing Batman instead of being with his daughter again. I could go on, but to sum it up, this has some great talent and great CGI, and it's certainly different than other comics movies we've seen, but it's silliness makes it hard to really enjoy it.
