Greetings from Lithuania.
"Suicide Squad" (2016) is a real disappointment. After finally seeing it (extended cut), the best i can say about it is that it isn't a bad movie by any means, but its a very predictable, mediocre and average film overall at is best.
Now the first and the biggest disappointment here is a script, with no doubt. It lacks any kind of suspense, humor (dark or whatever) and interest in the story itself. Here you have like worst of the worst criminals (who are more like a movie characters then real baddies), who have to team up for a suicide mission. And think of the most predictable non-exciting ways it will develop from there - and you got "Suicide Squad". There is even a scene in a bar in which all baddies sits while the world is ending (sort of), and writers didn't even tried to make it at least somehow darkly funny - every single line is so average and mediocre that i started to roll my eyes, really?
The whole Jared Leto / The Joker hype was just a marketing trick - the character has ZERO of ... anything! You could just cut him out of this mess and result would be the same mess. And please don't even mention Heath Ledger in the same speech while discussing the character - they are in a different universes. Of course, writing should be blamed here in a first place.
Overall, "Suicide Squad" isn't a bad movie for seeing it once on a boring evening - and that is the best that i can say about this highly over hyped mess. Now i'm a big fan of DC movie universe overall, i even like it more then Marvel to be honest, but is this really the best they could come up with? Big disappointment.
