Suicide Squad (2016)
5/10
Tries hard to be cool, like it was made by marketing whores.
Anti-heros trying to be cool, tough, sexy, crude, inappropriate and funny. If you like that, you'll like the film.
Decent SFX. Rather light in action , which I generally prefer, but both the action and story were very clique (though the brother-witch destruction design was very cool). The portrayals of Harley Quin and The Joker were spirited, but seemed rather wasted on a film with nothing to say... well, except, "you can be antisocially criminally cool and still love one person". It's like this film was created by marketers/advertisers (Bill Hicks would hurl).
Of the "hip" anti-hero genre, Deadpool was far superior in all respects. As a superhero film, there's no character substantially likeable, unless, you'll forgive me for saying, you have the mind of a 12-year-old.
