I Don't Get The Hate

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2016)

Story? There is no story. And that's what's refreshing about this movie. It's pure entertainment, in the sense of "Voltron," "A-Team" or "G.I. Joe" which is putting together a unit of absolute bad-a$$es to do something. Does it matter what it is? No.
I'm so sick and tired of political messages jammed into Marvel movies (I think comic book movies on DC & Marvel are dumb to begin with). They happen to be the most offensive of the two. I suppose THIS constitutes what the world enjoys now...supposedly. Or the PC police critics.
I can't begin to tell you how nice it is NOT to have social agendas in a movie and just...have fun. The hate may stem from the people who love these characters in the book. I can't justify any of it, since I don't read the funny pages, but it seemed to anger a lot of fans of the characters. Personally, Leto's Joker is...too comical for the grit of this movie. He's not as bad as you want him to be or as fun as Nicholson made him out to be. The Ledger Joker was...let's be real, the guy was fishing for recognition. But...it is what it is...entertainment.
