DC (Disappointing Cinema)

Rating: 4/10 (5 August 2016)

If you go into this movie with low expectations (like Transformers type expectations) I feel like it would possible to have a alright time and you could moderately enjoy the film. The movie is all over the place from the beginning and doesn't ever quite hit its stride in establishing It's identity as a film. The character development was unconvincingly rushed; in what seemed like no time at all the independent, villainous, metahumans go from being hellbent on revenge and/or escape to becoming a super positive tight knit "family". The humour was very hit and miss as most of the intended funny moments felt awkwardly forced and/or geared towards a yonder audience. There were often moments where it seemed they were pushing really hard for a laugh, but instead, it just came across forced opposed to organic. On the upside the acting was solid for the most part and the movie boasted an awesome soundtrack throughout. Overall I was pretty disappointed with Suicide Squad and recommend skipping right over this flopped summer blockbuster.
