Entertaining but utterly disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2016)

For what seems like a lifetime we have been getting some of the best trailers for this movie, the images shown and perfectly sewn in soundtracks promised something new from the DCU, something fresh and relevant and while the final product could be called entertaining in a music video kind of way the bland plot, terrible villain and some of the secondary characters drag it down to an utterly mediocre, if not bad, levels.
It's one saving grace is that most of the Suicide Squad themselves have some real chemistry and while controversial Jered Leto's Joker is captivating if not completely in line with what is expected of the titular 'mad man'.
Is it worth paying to go see it, that is completely up to the viewer, I don't think any fan of super hero movies will feel ripped off by it as it hits the mark with a few one liners and set pieces but don't expect a DC version of Guardians of the Galaxy.
