Entertaining, But Leaves You Wanting More

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2016)

I really don't understand all the harsh reviews! If you want to analyze the the movie itself (plots, character development, etc.), its not a great movie. However, the performances of the actors bringing these characters to life are amazing. Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Jay Hernandez stand out. They all do an amazing job, and all killed their roles. Joel Kinnaman was good as well. I honestly can't rate Jared Leto's Joker performance. He definitely made the character his own, his portrayal is definitely different, and he was good, but you really don't get to see enough of him. The real problem with this movie is there is simply too much going on. The problem translates from DC itself, as it tries desperately to catch up/beat Marvel. Marvel built up their universe for years, developing their characters thoroughly before doing a team-up movie. DC simply jumped the gun on this one. It can't develop their numerous characters enough in only 2 hours. That being said, I honestly cannot wait to see a Batman/Deadshot or Batman/Joker movie. I think those two villains will be great in the DCEU.
