A promising looking title that did not live up to its expectations

Rating: 5/10 (25 August 2016)

Suicide squad seemed a title that was promising and had many possibilities but it wasn't anywhere near as good as it could have been. The film took at least 40 minutes before the story started, it took so long to introduce the characters and face lots of details about some for example Harley Quinn and said little about others. The story line was very basic and could have been expanded further and made more complex. At times I feel like Margo Robbie's acting and jokes as Hayley Quinn were the only thing keeping the film going. The acting was of a good standard but he character development was poor. The cast were quite well known so I expected this to be potentially an award winning film but it was nothing of the sort I even felt my self zoning out at times. The sound tack was great but I hardly heard any of the songs during the film for example heathens and sucker for pain. The ending wasn't great because it left me thinking that there could be a second film but who would find it as the first instalment was so poor. Not worth the watch at all.
