Not that bad

Rating: 7/10 (23 April 2019)

The movie overall is ok. A fun movie to go with your friends. Once.
From an actor point of view the performances were great. You can see Will Smith had a backstory. His acting was clear, simple and very effective. Same with Margot Robbie. Not only she was stunningly beautiful but she created a very charismatic Harley Quinn. Viola Davis has a very strong presence on screen and is very precise. Jay Courtney and Jay Hernandez are doing a very good job too. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was the counterpoint in some funny scenes and he did a great job.
Cara delevingne was quite average and I think she was casted because she looks very good on screen and no one can deny that.
I think Jared Leto was a casting mistake. He is one of the best actors in the world in my view. He can create a whole universe around him with just one role. But Joker was just not for him. He didn't brought anything new to the character, he didn't surprise me with anything. It was just there...
The story was strange. Amanda Waller ( Violla Davis) is bringing a witch to help them to fight a "New Superman" . Then she is making a "Suicide Squad" with some bad characters from the DC Universe to help with that . But the witch then turns out the be the real villain in this movie. And then all the bad guys from the Suicide Squad are sent to rescue her and lately to stop the witch. All of them have a device in their neck that will kill them if they disobey.
There are so many questions unanswered. How did Amanda Waller ( Violla Davis) survive after she was hung upside down and has a tentacle around her head. Why did Enchantress give them a second chance after her brother was killed by the Suicide Squad and she was so close to the world domination? How does Harley Quinn, a psychopath with a bat, manage to fool one of the most powerful creatures in the universe, a creature who can put visions in their minds. Why did Captain Boomerang come back so randomly after he leaves the bar. And so many more.
Anyway, there were some touching scenes that can make those questions go away very fast. The Joker( Jared Leto) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) scene where she is jumping in a water tank for him. The scene were Killshot (Will Smith) has to shoot Harley Quinn. The scene were Harley Quinn is crying in the rain after Joker's helicopter crash. And my favourite: the bar scene.
That scene was better than the whole movie for me. There you can see the background of the characters and why they are doing what they do. Especially Diablo. That character is amazing.
All in all if you like the DC Universe, tons of different and distinctive characters in the same movie and Will Smith killing monsters this is the movie for you.
