I had no expectations for this film , but I was still disappointed.
The Story: Amanda Waller, who works for the government, compiles the "Task Force X" aka the Suicide Squad, to fight against supernatural enemies like a new evil Superman. The most important members of the squad get a little scene, which introduces them. One of them is Enchantress, a half woman-half witch. She is in love with the leader of the Suicide Squad Rick Flag. On a mission Enchantress escapes and revives her ancient brother and both strive to destroy the whole world together. Now the Suicide Squad has to stop them. Beside this main story the Joker wants to get his girlfriend Harley Quinn back, who is a member of the so called Task Force X.
The Characters:
Rick Flag is a stereotype Soldier, who just excists to include a lame lovestory in the film.
Boring character Amanda Waller is ridiculous. She seems to be a really evil woman, but in fact she is just an unreasonable pseud.
Harley Quinn is created to be funny and cool and awesome and she is none of that. She is just super annoying. Expected so much more from the trailers and I don't get the hype around her. A good costume doesn't make a good character by itself.
Deadshot is the main character ... I guess and he is definitely the coolest and most sympathatic character in this movie. He has some funny and cool scenes, but even Will Smith can't save the ridiculous story.
The Joker is not that bad, I mean he is different to every Joker performance before, but it does feel a little weird and over the top. He is an insane psychopath, who seemingly enjoys to ... be evil. Honestly it's really cringy, but whatever. The Character is not important for the main plot, so it doesn't hurt that much.
Enchantress is the worst and most ridiculous villain I've seen in my life. When she whispers "Enchantress" she turns into a witch and this is unbearably cringy. If you wanna have a menacing villain watch Suicide Squad to see how you don't do it.
Captain Boomerang: I don't like Jai Courtney that much, but this role was OK... Yes the character is absolutely useless, but at least he wasn't annoying like most of the assembly.
El Diablo was OK until he transformed into the firedevil ... or whatever that was. Also he got a background story everyone saw 1000-times before and is just not compelling or thrilling.
Killercroc was visually OK, but completely useless for the plot and serves no purpose at all.
"Katana" gets thrown into this story for no reason and she stays completely bland and boring the whole movie.
My opinion: The film tries hard to be epic, funny, awesome and cool, but he isn't all this at all. The story is going in a circle, cause it ends where it starts with no development at all. The reason why the villain is created is the creation of the Squad. If Amanda Waller didn't create the Task Force X, Enchantress would never have escaped. So basically because of the creation of the squad, the squad is necissary.Also I'm just tired of seeing villains create a flickering, lightningthrowing, giant "EverythingDestroyingAndKillingMachine".
The first Trailer was actually cool and I was kinda looking forward to this movie then the second came out and it was a bit eehh and already filled with unfunny jokes. That "dehyped" me completely and then I watched the movie in the theatres. I can say it was the worst experience I ever had in the cinema. I will never watch this mess again.
