Suicide Squad Review

So I finally had a chance to see this disaster of a film last week while I was off and I'm glad to say it exceeded my lowest expectations.

The story has an interesting beginning as it introduces each character in the plot, then they reveal the big surprise! .....there is no plot.

They having to stop a witch that the government created in the first place because they didn't want "monsters" like Superman (who earlier in the film they admit just saved the planet again) So they find there own monster who has been "evil since the dawn of time". Yeah, that makes sense.

And low and behold this evil entity, the witch goes rogue and tries to take over the world. (sigh) But instead of calling on heroes to help them out, they get a guy with guns, one with a boomerang, a croc man (who barely speaks or does anything in the movie) a "fire guy" who's been known to kill everyone around him when using his power and an insane girl because....she can swing a bat.

It looks like someone dressed up the Little Rascals, gave them a random assort of weapons and pit them against the gladiators of 300. This movie makes zero sense at all.

Why should we feel bad for the bad guys? Dead Shot just wants to see his daughter....and kill Batman. What's wrong with that? Harley Qinn wants to be normal again...oh wait, no she doesn't, based off what she said in the bar RIGHT BEFORE that scene!!!

Flame guys wants his family back...at least until the option is presented to him, then he doesn't. And Boomerang wants....well we never get to know him enough because he's not called Harley Quinn or Dead Shot. And Killer Croc? He wants BET.

The CGI looks awful and distracts from how bad the story in this film is. (maybe that's a good thing) I seriously don't know what DC is trying to do here but I know I'm out. Unless Megan drags me to the theater with her, I'm happy leaving these movies alone for good.
