My favorite part of the movie and the only part I actually laughed at was when Captain Boomerang just fucking bolted away. All the rest of the jokes fell flat so hard.
I think the most egregious part was the bar scene where all of a sudden they're supposed to want to save the day in the fakest manner possible when none of these assholes have developed even a little bit in this movie. Why they don't just tell Flagg to fuck off and peace out is beyond me, because that's how this movie had went the whole time. But Flagg pulls out some letters from Deadshot's daughter that he was carrying around and says "But Enchantress is my girlfriend. :(" And that's all it takes? Come on.
And the movie is just so dark. The lighting is atrocious in every single scene and it makes it hard to even make out what is happening in the fight scenes, especially since these enemies are actually the most generic things ever. Could they have made a more boring group of enemies than whatever these things are?
Suicide Squad was actually the first time I wanted to leave the theater. The second that Boomerang comes back to save the day FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO THIS SAPPY BULLSHIT AND HE OFFERED NO EXPLANATION WHY I was fucking done.
But it was the end of the movie and I wanted to show Joel Kinnaman enough respect since he's too good for this movie. But Christ, even the ending where Harley saves the day is bad. I know she's the only reason anyone came to see this piece of shit and the only people who actually enjoyed it was because of their boner for Harley Quinn, but why is Enchantress so dumb she wants girl-with-bat as her second in command? Why does she fall for this dumb crap? Why does Captain Boomerang, the guy known for throwing shit, not throw the bomb instead of Killer Croc who already did his part in saving the day by getting the thing?
Such a bad, awful movie and the only movie I've ever seen where I don't understand how anyone can say it's good.
Why would a guy known for throwing boomerangs throw a heavy non-boomerang that's intended to go far away and never come back? Over a guy with superhuman strength? ---
