There are good bad movies, then there is suicide squad.

Rating: 3/10 (9 August 2016)

By that I mean a bad movie can be enjoyable when it seems innocently bad. Like the room and such. Then there are movies that are the true definition of bad. Movies without heart, or charm, or the care that should be put into an art form such as a film. Suicide squad, is one of the truly bad bad movies. I'll highlight the things that bothered me most and try to keep this short. 1: none of the characters are the characters we know and love. None. They feel like cosplayers making a home movie about the characters they like. Except cosplayers are better actors. Especially Robbie. 2: none of these characters are relevant. Except for deadshot, and Harley. Everyone else takes a backseat. Boomerang is ignored. Croc is ignored. And diablo is sort of in between. 3: these characters are diminutive in comparison to their enemy. Suicide squad is made up of, loony girl with bat, sniper guy, crocodile person, fire spitter, and man with boomerang. Their enemy? Literal ancient gods with unbelievable power. Superman can battle something like that and it make sense. Not the suicide squad. They feel so out of place. The entire story is ruined by this oversight. 4: everyone uses urban slang. Literally, everyone. Even the ancient gods they are fighting use slang terms. Because its cool I guess? It really destroys the already messy feel of the film. 5: nothing is coherent. Everything is broken. The plot just kind of happens in front of you without explanation. What is that thing? Why is that person doing what they are doing? The movie never says, it just expects you to know. 6: rather than show the insanity of the movies main attraction, let's instead highlight it to you by having everyone say "damn bitch you crazy" on repeat. Throughout the film you never get any real insanity from Harley. Instead you are just reminded she's off her rocker by characters telling her she is. All. The. Time. 7: was this group assembled because of their abilities? What abilities? We never see them. The movie never makes use of any characters abilities which got them in suicide squad in the first place. The only who does is deadshot, who gets a couple decent scenes. Boomerang maybe throws a single boomerang, you hear Harleys bat crack, croc growls, and diablo is too scared to use his powers but once throughout the movie. That's it. Why create a movie with all these good characters then do nothing with them? 8: what's wrong with you people? In one scene flag, the army guy (that's all his character really is) that has been left in control of the squad gets triggered when Harley smashes a window to steal a purse. He then yells "what's wrong with you people?!" You have a team of known insane people and criminals. Who wrote this line? And there are others like it throughout the film! 9: Harleys butt. This is the only focus of her character. Her butt gets more screen time than her characters mental intricacies. Its clear that was the only reason she was involved with this film and this use of her butt is disgraceful and an embarrassment.
There. That's a few highlights. I could go on for 1000 more lines. But I won't. Just don't waste money to see this. Don't let warner justify this films horrible existence. They don't deserve the right.
