Review of Suicide Squad (2016) by Romanontherun — 04 Aug 2016

Wow, that was bad. I mean I didn't expect something extraordinary but at least on par with stupid, but charismatic and fun Guardian of the Galaxy. Yet they somehow wasted all potential and create some mess.

1. Characters supposed to be bad, ugly and interesting. But ones that actually somehow interesting are Deadshot, Harley and El Diablo. Others just kinda there, doing stuff. Japanese girl, Slipknot (haha, at least he had a story-wise purpose), marines, Croc, Boomerang (wtf? boomerang? seriously?) and even Joker could be easily removed from the movie.

2. Bad guys are just... there. As you could imagine they bad, they ugly (and a bit sexy), they try to destroy world (for some reason) and produce zombie-like minions. Yep, that again. They even didn't forgot to add giant portal in the sky.

3. Plot is clunky inconsistent and plain stupid. Most interesting part is actually introduction of the characters in first part of the movie, down from there it's just mess.

I tried to enjoy this movie, I really did. But it's just not good, it's not fun, it's not smart, not ironic - it's average at best.
