Not bad, but not good

Rating: 6/10 (18 August 2016)

After watching Suicide Squad I cracked the code of why DC movies are so hated against Marvel's. PLOT TWISTS!
Suicide Squad was, in my opinion, a better movie than Batman vs. Sueprman, but with less interesting characters and an even more ridiculous ending. I liked the directing, the staging, the effects in the fight scenes (something I hated in BvS, looked so unreal) but everything else, I disliked.
The characters were believable, but not entertaining. As a fan of comics and these stories I find it so stupid that these people, these people with such average skills who mostly fight with their fists or man made weapons (except for Diablo) go up against an ancient witch (basically a god) AND WIN! That's so stupid in my mind. Where were all those real superheroes when the 'terror attack' began?!
But as I was saying.. DC movies totally lack proper plot twist. Suicide Squad is often compared to Batman vs. Superman and I did it too, throughout the whole movie and that's because they both lack proper plot twists! They are so straightforward and it's boring! Marvel at least brought out proper plot twists during the Civil War to keep things interesting, even during the end of the movie. These movies are just.. straight as an arrow. You know exactly what's gonna happen and how it's going to end.
Final word on the Joker: I liked Leto's interpretation of him, hated his surroundings and makeup. I just stared at his teeth most of the movie thinking, "That's so not the Joker..". And seriously, night clubs? He seemed like a cliché east-European gangster with the bling bling and everything. Comparing him to Ledger is not fair, but at least Ledger somehow captured the Joker we all know. A wild card, insane. Leto's Joker just seemed way too slick and greasy!
