Suicide Squad (2016)

This was meant to be the answer to Guardians of the Galaxy. A ragtag team of misfits is being forced to work together to save the world. There were a lot of character moments and there was a genuine effort to make you have sympathy for the Squad. That being said…Enchantress and the Joker sucked. Enchantress was boring and Joker seemed like Jim Carrey’s riddler on cocaine or meth. There was plenty to applaud the movie for, but it just wasn’t interesting enough. I got bored several times throughout the movie. At least, Margot Robbie got to introduce the best possible version of Harley Quinn. The character only gets better in each movie she is in. This was a mixed bag and only worth the watch if you love Harley Quinn and to a lesser extent Deadshot.
