This was a tough one to review as are pretty much all DC Comic films. Lets start with the positives. The characters were great. Will Smith was the best and was finally back to being the Will Smith of old. Didn't realize how much I missed him until seeing him in this one. Margot Robbie was great as Harley Quinn even if she was a little "softer" than the character usually is. Jared Leto was great as a mibster version of The Joker. The other characters were greatly too (especially El Diablo) as well as Viola Davis as the government official pulling the strings. The chemistry between all of them was awesome and the first 45 minutes of this movie really made you think DC finally got something right. And then came the villain. And thats where the cons start. The whole mystical and magical villain thing sucked. DC always screws the pooch with villains because they insist on having too many of them and going CGI crazy with them. Just like with Batman Vs Superman. Yes, Lex Luthor being overacted was one of the more annoying parts of that one but if it was just him versus the superheroes instead of Doomsday and all the chaos that brought it probably would have been a better movie. It was the same with this using Joker and the villain (without giving too much away). In all honesty - they pretty much forced Joker into this movie and they eould have been better off going all in with him or not having him at all until the end as a tease or something. It should have been Suicide Squad against Joker and his goons or them against the movie's main villain. It messed up the story by working towards the villain story but forcing the Joker in every once and a while regardless of how goid Jared Leto was as him.
My ranting is done now. I would still recommend that people check this movie out. It is definitely one of DC's better movies if not the best one. The characters were great and the movie was enjoyable. It just once again could have been better if DC would stop overdoing it every time on the villain front.
