Just the worst - writing, plot, everything

Rating: 1/10 (2 December 2017)

I am losing faith in the DC movie attempts. This is by far the worst of the lot, which just makes no sense. The cast was great, they had some of the best characters, and then did nothing with them. Most characters only got a few minutes to set up their backstory, so the character development was basically non-existent. Because of this, the characters were shallow, lacked reasoning for their motivations, and fell flat. One character was literally introduced, and quickly killed, simply to demonstrate the bombs planted in the villains. Such a cheap addition. The dialogue was stilted and awkward, and if I hear Will Smith say, "We're the bad guys," one more time, I'm going to scream. The only character who I felt any sympathy with was El Diablo, and he barely did anything the entire movie. Jared Leto was also a terrible choice to play the Joker, but not as bad as Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, but that's another story. These actors were wasted. The entirety of the plot was such a giant mess. If Waller hadn't started the moronic plan to gather these villains, none of the events in the movie would have happened. For a character we are led to believe is so ruthless and smart, she's really a complete idiot. She's more a person who *thinks* she's smart than an actual smart person. I was so disappointed by this movie. There was such potential in the original idea, yet every step after that was taken down a horrible path. I will not be watching the sequel.
