Directed by The Joker

Rating: 2/10 (17 June 2017)

Suicide Squad aka We're The Bad Guys is almost as bad as Batman v Superman. Nothing in this movie makes any darn sense...I watched it with an open mind, but it's impossible to enjoy this movie, or care about any of the characters.
If Batman v Superman can be compared to sleep paralysis, Suicide Squad is what happens when you eat one of the strange mushrooms that grow in the woods. What a weird, Transformers 3-ish movie! The only thing that's missing from the movie is Shia LaBeouf.
This movie could have been good. Even though it's a movie about fictional comic book characters, they could have used those characters to explore stuff like the cruel treatment of prisoners in the US, corruption, redemption, forgiveness etc. There's bits and pieces of that sprinkled throughout the movie, but most of the time it's about boring slow motion fight scenes, Harley Quinn's buttocks and really bad jokes.
The best part is when Harley Quinn imagines herself living a normal life with the Joker. It's really sad that they wasted a scene like that in a terrible movie like this...Imagine if someone made a movie like that, where one of the villains actually managed to change. That would truly be something new and original in a comic book movie. Joker/Two- Face/Killer Croc gives Batman a message to meet him at the abandoned toy factory/bell tower. We expect a big, violent fight scene, but instead, the villain breaks down and cries.
I'm not against action and fight scenes...but modern superhero movies brag about how they're for grownups, grounded in reality and all that stuff, yet everything is solved by punching people in the face. It's no different than any of the old serials (which I love)...the only difference is better costumes, nihilism and half-naked ladies. Why not try something new instead?
The writing is terrible...it's embarrassing. It made me blush. The choice of music (Eminem, Queen, Ozzy Osbourne) is bizarre. The music seems out of place. None of the characters are convincing. The dancing Enchantress is probably one of the worst things ever in a comic book movie. It's almost as bad as Batman's rubber butt in Schumacher's homoerotic Batman movies. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be funny or serious, but it is beyond ridiculous.
Just read or watch "Mad Love" instead. It's a better Batman/Harley Quinn and Joker story.
