What happened to D.C Movies?!

Rating: 4/10 (14 August 2016)

I was waiting for this even more than Civil War. I liked Civil War, but this one.... Let me start by saying that Margot Robbie was great, she was the character that saved this movie of being worse. Will Smith was OK, but i don't think he was the right choice; Deadshot is supposed to be this serious dark hit-man, but they turn him into a "funny" character. That's the main problem with this movie, they try so hard to be funny like Marvel. People criticized Batman V Superman for being dark and humorless, which i think is ridiculous, so they copied Marvel, WHY?! They stole the essence of the film, with the PG-13 rating and stupid jokes; i'd rather to see a dark movie than this "trying so hard to be Marvel". Now, the characters: the villain is beyond horrible, just a one- dimensional "witch" with her brother trying to destroy the world by no reason with the giant spectacle in the city like a Ghostbuster's scene. The villain is not the only thing, the character of Diablo is not good, with a terrible backstory and racist Mexican dialogue. Slipknot, was a complete useless and wasted character, he's killed 5 minutes after he appears, WOW! Boomerang and Katana are horrible too, with no development; well Katana had a backstory, a cliché story of her dead husband, really forced. Also the backstory of Deadshoot, his daughter, was so forced, i didn't buy any of that; and when he is about to shoot the villain, we see the girl "talking" to Deadshoot saying to him not to shoot, i mean seriously!! In the beginning of the film, when Deadshoot is about to shoot Batman, the girl stops him, which makes sense, but not in that final scene, if he doesn't kill the villain, the world ends, simple as that!! The daughter's backstory was very forced. Now, the most anticipated thing of this movie: The Joker; wow, he was horrible. I can see if people like Jared Leto's performance, but it din't work for me; that EMO and gangsta style was bad, really bad; and he is not even important in the film, with an appearance of not even 10 minutes. Harley Quinn and Deadshoot make this movie worth the ticket, they saved this for being worse as i just said, and the relationship of Harley and Joker was good and charming, but the movie as a whole, is disappointing and mediocre. What a shame, for a movie that could have been great.
