As entertaining as it still is, it was quite a disappointment.

Rating: 6/10 (31 August 2017)

(Possible spoilers ahead, read at your own risk) As a hardcore Batman/comic/movie fan, this was quite a disappointment. Mostly due to the Writing and editing. The thing that gets me the most is the fact that the trailers advertise a completely different movie. What I expected from the trailers was a dark and gritty action movie peppered with subtle humor for good measure. What I got was a rushed, bloated Hollywood, CGI filled cash grab. I don't think it started out that way, since David Ayer is a talented film maker in my opinion, but I believe once producers and the studios got involved, they focused too much on what many movies suffer from today... Making money. They wanted to market it to as wide of an audience as possible and that was they're mistake. instead of a simple engaging story with insanely interesting characters, we got a mess.
Don't get me wrong, it has it's good points. the action is fun, even if it's a bit choppy. The cast and performances were well done for the script they had to work with, and the costume, makeup and general look of the film was great. that's about it. I thought Margot Robbie and Jared Leto were the best things this Movie had going for it and most of their scenes together were in flashbacks, which would have worked if their story was the focal point of the film, but it really had nothing to do with the plot. it's like they were just thrown in the movie because they are the two most recognizable characters.
To close out this review, Joker should have been the main antagonist, pulling the strings to create a national threat, all simply to get Harley back, while Harley struggled with going back to Joker or realizing how bad he is for her and developing a new relationship with Deadshot, who would take the role as co protagonist along side Harley, instead of trying to make every member of the squad a main character and ending with no main characters, no one to root for, and an over complicated plot.
The anticipation of this movie ended up disappointing me immensely and although I was still entertained, they just didn't get it right
