It's a fun movie, perfectly setting up the serials to follow(people forgot this isn't a '1, and done' movie, it's part 1 in a serial).
The funny thing is, in the 40's, and 50s they had serials, so old people get how these movies in a serial work, young-people are useless though, they simply can't comprehend it, basically this is a DC-series, not a DC-movie, and when you watch it as such, you'll get it, if you expect a 1-shot movie, you won't get it.
I would give it a 6/10. It has a poorly written plot, and most of the characters are also poorly written and rather dull. Since there are so many of them who are all being introduced for the first time in this movie, you don't get much time to have character development or flesh them out at all. So they end up being rather dull and uninteresting because they are just kinda there being "badass", but that's it. You don't have a personal connection with them or anything.
That has been DCs biggest problem with these last two movies (Batman v Superman, and now Suicide Squad.) They have rushed it and just stuffed a bunch of characters together, rather than taking the time to build up to it.
I went in with low expectations because a friend was a little disappointed with it. I enjoyed it, I didn't like the ending though, like it was just shitty tbh. They didn't want to kill the heart cause they might lose her, then they do and she obviously came back still anyway. Joker some how lived, how? He was below the height of the building Harley jumped to and after that the helicopter crashed downwards. Then he breaks into a place that should or would have a lot of security and saves Harley... Like that was all predictable crap. Anyway, pretty good movie,
Overall decent, but i felt the characters were lacking development which made their arcs a little unbelievable and thusly big character moments that should have been really emotional fell a little flat. Now, that's all ok if you're just looking for an action movie, but while the action was fine, I felt like it was nothing we haven't seen before
They should have made it R rated and added better scenes, but they wanted the profits from the thousands of 13 year old teenagers and their parents
