Confusing. Boring. Spoilers, I guess...

Rating: 2/10 (4 January 2017)

Just rename the film "1 hour of Margot Robbie in Booty Shorts," because that was about the only thing keeping some people interested. The action certainly wasn't interesting. It was a mess. I've never read the comic books so I don't know any of the characters other than Batman and The Joker. Batman makes a couple cameos at the request of some psychopathic woman. Was her character suppose to be a good guy? She kills three FBI computer guys for absolutely no reason. The "bad guys" are brutalized by supposed other good guys YET the super villains do nothing menacing to any of the "good guys" even when they have the chance. The Joker? Why was the joker in this movie? He does nothing and contributes nothing and his character is so different from any other Joker portrayal all the way back to Cesar Romero. The only character who gets any decent portrayal and sympathy is the MS13 fire creating gangster and when he starts getting interesting they ruin it with a sudden explosion of action and 10 seconds later the scene is over. The director tries WAY to hard to recreate the Christian Bale dark portrayal of Batman but throws in so many stupid one liner jokes it just doesn't work. Nothing ties the mess together. Each character gets about 2 minutes of buildup. The super-duper Non-Human villains get about a 3 minute buildup. There is no planning of the schemes. They just suddenly create a machine to destroy the world. If you want to see a movie that has all bad terrible people but they are likable and you end up cheering for them go watch "The Wild Bunch." Avoid Suicide Squad. With so much mess crammed in to such little time the best description comes from Rick Flag.
