Nothing to see here, move along.

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2018)

It's kind of rare to see a film that fails on every level, but Suicide Squad manages. It fails as an action movie by having the Power Rangers Putty Patrol as the most frequent antagonists. Most fight scenes are shot in the laziest way possible, and combined with the film's pacing you get bored of the action very quickly. The premise (a group of supervillains forced to work together as a black ops team for the US government) is completely squandered by having the main characters have little to no internal or external conflict. They also only ever fight and kill nondescript CG nothings, so there's no point to them being "villainous". The plot takes forever to get going, with about 3-4 scenes of Viola Davis telling people they need to form the squad in the first place.
We're also treated to Jared Leto's joker, which is just awful in every way and adds nothing to the story, Deadshot's daughter that nobody could possibly care about, Captain Boomerang and Harley Quin who both have jokes that just fall completely flat, and Killer Croc and El Diablo, both of whom seem to exist for slightly to very racist dialogue. Oh, and Katana, who does nothing and is around for no reason, comes in out of nowhere, and who you'll forget about every time she's off screen.
The plot is a complete mess, with the overall conflict starting because of Viola Davis starting the Suicide Squad to begin with. The Enchantress, arguably the main antagonist, is another supervillain that just wants to destroy the world for no reason.
She has a brother with 2 lines or so that is just a big CG monster that doesn't really do anything but kill Diablo I guess. The main enemies the puttys, are so non-threatening as to be a joke.
Oh, also this movie is just really offensive in general. Mental illness is a joke, spousal abuse is a joke, sexual abuse is a joke, people really like to call the only hispanic character "homeboy", and the word "bitch" is thrown around like nobody's business. So not only is this film a chore at two and a half hours, it's an offensive chore. Don't watch it. Don't watch its sequel, or its spin-offs, or anything else from this crap production crew or David Ayer.
