Not one bit of quality

Rating: 1/10 (2 September 2017)

Suicide Squad made me actually angry and violent at my friend for buying this "film" on DVD and letting me watch it without saying how awful it really was. I had read reviews that said it was bad and gave it 4/10 which is a very misleading score as it suggests some quality things about this movie. Honestly if I could give it 0/10 I would but IMDb only lets you do 1/10 as a valid rating. I have nothing but contempt for this movie as it is poor in every sense of the word!!!
Let's start with the plot which is just thrown lazily together as if the people who wrote it were just said "screw it, let's just focus on getting Harley Quinn in as many sexy uniforms as possible and making loads of money at the box office". The plot boils down to this government woman, Amanda Waller, putting together a team of super villains to fight other super villains..Sounds like a great idea but when this character explains it 3,4,5 bloody times in the movie it gets a bit wearing and stupid.
The team consists of Will Smith (deadshot), Margo Robbie (Harley Quinn) and a load of other characters that are not as flushed out with only three of them being integral to the story. I could go on about characters and plot for 1000 alone but I will just list specifically bad characters that deserve a dishonourable mention.
Will Smith plays Will Smith in this movie and is awfulllll at playing a villain of any kind. Will Smith can only play heroes so he just doesn't work as a villain. Margo Robbie as Harley Quinn is just there as a sex symbol and she tries to be the comic relief as well. As a comic relief she is sooooo bad with terrible one liners that do not get any laughs and just leave you with your head in your hands. She is sexy in this film but it is so forced that after a while even teenagers will just go MEH and go back to playing candy crush or take drugs (whatever teenagers do now)
Another dishonourable mention goes to the Jared Letto Joker. This is probably the worst joker I have seen on film and the portrayal of him as some kind of kingpin/pimp is very off putting. His relationship with Harley Quinn too is wrong and mismatched. I find it hard for the joker to be in love with Harley as he is supposed to be the living embodiment of chaos and having him act as a love sick puppy trying to get back his girl seems completely wrong to other movies I have seen him in. As an example in the dark knight Nolan and Ledger took care to play and wright the joker as he is supposed to be, an anarchist who cares nothing for no one. They wrote him as someone who wants to "watch the world burn". In Suicide Squad he is a pimp and has to say that he is chaos TO THE AUDIENCE instead of showing us he is!!
My beef with this "film" is not just the characters and the stupid plot but also the technical side of things. This movie is so badly edited that it is painful. A few reviews say that this film feels like one big trailer and that is completely down to poor editing. In this movie scenes do not end or begin they just happen and then a next scene comes up and happens and it is just so crap. Because of the editing the pacing suffers as well as this film is slow and fast paced in such an infrequent way that it gave me an aneurysm in my brain.
During shooting the trailer house for this movie also edited parts of the film as well so that is probably why the film looks so disjointed. The lighting during the film is terrible as it is just dark and bland with some bits being so dark that the scenes are close to being underexposed. Underexposed is when a film is so poorly lighted that you can't really see what is going on in the film and this "film" definitely does that.
The soundtrack as well is garbage. They just get all of these great songs from different artists like Queen, ACDC and Black Sabbath and just put them randomly in the movie without any context at all. You can't just fling songs at the wall and see what sticks. Music is supposed to complement the film and add atmosphere. This film does not do that. NOT ONE BIT!!!!
I know this has been a long review but there are just so many problems with this film that I just have to say how BAD this movie is and i'm still not done. I don't think 1000 word limit is enough to explain how sh** this movie is. DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM!!!
