I dozed off

Rating: 4/10 (31 March 2017)

If you're familiar with the DC universe you probably have an idea (even a vague one) about it without somebody elaborating.
I don't usually read reviews before watching certain kinds of movies. Even though I try to avoid trailers, the hype, marketing and information in general tends to get to me anyway.
Suicide Squad is exactly that kind of movie...
I really wanted to see it even before bits and pieces of information got to me. After I ended up watching a trailer (which didn't have anything new for me by then) and a few ads - I was definitely sold.
However, I didn't go to the cinema and managed to watch it after it was released on DVD.
To get to the point, it wasn't just bad – it was terrible!
If you're into super hero stuff, checking out whatever DC (or Marvel) throws at you, you're gonna watch this anyway. I was lucky to see it after being released on DVD, so I was able to skip back and see the action I missed whenever I fell asleep.
That's right, the action happens to be the most dreadful part!
So, here it is, without spoilers:
A secret government agency bands together the most dangerous super villains to form a defensive task force which is supposed to save the world from the Apocalypse.
Personally, I might go out on a limb by saying that none of the villains are super. I could be wrong because I might have missed it (during the action).
Since we're talking about the DC universe, I can't really say that character development is unrealistic. While each and every one of them is lacking depth, they're also inconsistent with previous successful representations in highly rated movies (but that's been done before so it's nothing to scoff at).
THE GOOD: I liked the trailers, the actors and (almost) everything about it before seeing it. In fact, some of the best parts are in the trailers and the marketing.
I have to admit I've had a few laughs hearing some of the lines
"I put him in a hole, and threw away the hole."
But that's about it.
You might wanna check out this poster too - it looks like a villainous mushroom cloud.
THE AWFUL: I don't think the actors can be blamed for any part of this mess. Actually, they did quite a good job considering the circumstances and the characters they had to play.
The Joker? Huuuge joke. Somebody obviously forgot about "The Dark Knight" (2008) which was a masterpiece, with Heath Ledger's excellent interpretation of the Joker.
I'm not saying Jared Leto was bad – in fact he was really good. I'm gonna go as far as saying he did a perfect job playing the role he was given in this fiasco.
Batman? Why would they give the role to someone else while Christian Bale nailed it? Repeatedly While Ben Affleck didn't play a poor Batman, in my opinion he was a perfect Daredevil (2003).
Supporting cast aside, even with Will Smith in his shoes, Deadshot didn't exactly fit the profile of a villain.
Neither did Harley Quinn or anyone else for that matter (at least not in the sense they were advertised).
The beginning seemed promising, especially with the introduction of these two, but it just didn't deliver
To wrap it up, you should wait till you see it on TV. That's the only way to make sure you won't be sorry.
But can you wait for that long?
