Not that memorable

Rating: 5/10 (15 October 2016)

This movie is notable in featuring the first theatrical released appearance of Harley Quinn. She was a character introduced in "Batman: The Animated Series" and is arguably the most identifiable canon immigrant. I really do appreciate how good the colors are in this film. Well, it kind of works both ways. The costumes are really nicely done and the credits are especially good and colorful. I just don't like the lighting effects here. It comes off as pretty ugly with all the darkness.
Amanda Waller appears and is portrayed fairly well. I feel bad for not knowing more of these characters. I can't find the DC Encyclopedia at Books A Million! Then again, they don't even have an article on the Anti-Monitor. The Joker is portrayed well too. I was disappointed that he only has a few minutes of screen time. There's just no set up for his appearances. I knew he'd be too evil to appear on this squad. This film went through reshooting supposedly because of the poor ratings received by "Batman V. Superman". Now, this has the same ratings, so it didn't get much better.
I also have a problem with the pacing of this story. It's mostly just one big mission that these guys go on. I just think it's rushed and it should have been divided up better. The special effects are pretty nice. This movie has been anticipated for a long time and for most people, it was a disappointment. Well, the audiences liked it better than the critics. It was weird to see another random cameo from the Flash. Even the scene during the credits was pretty dull. This is a mixed bag and while it definitely has its amusing moments, I say you can suit this one out. **
