Lazy Writing.

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2016)

This movie was embarrassing to watch. The plot was sloppy and the fight scenes were placed for no reason other than to show off the characters. Also, the characters where poorly written. Harley Quinn, for example, had so much potential to bring an important conversation about manipulative relationships but, instead, we're given a girl with messed up eyeshadow who probably watches too much anime. Also, what was the point of Katana, Killer Croc, and Captain Boomerang if the movie only focused on Deadshot and Harley? Katana and Killer Croc had no depth or any screen time. For Diablo, his character progress was lazy. He showed no involvement so his sudden sacrifice that "brought the group together" was too random. Deadshot was the one who proved to have some thought put into his character. I can go on about the disappointing characters but, honestly, I would be sounding like a broken record.
Don't get me wrong, the concept of super heroes have potential to be great. The comics prove to have strong social commentary and character depth. But the movies? They are really only made for product and sales. I mean, why else would they only focus on the fact that they have so many well-known actors in one movie?
