Back from Suicide Squad (Minor spoilers)
As me and @Hispersephone have agreed, it should have been called “The Deadshot and Harley Quinn Power Hours, guest starring The Suicide Squad, with guest appearance by The Joker.
First half of the film was ALL over the place, but once things started to line up, it got REALLY good. Harley was nigh flawless, with the missing accent being the only minor flaw, and even that wasn’t half bad.
Shockingly enough, Leto’s Joker wasn’t nearly as bad as I was fearing. He wasn’t nearly as obnoxious as I expected, and while the ‘birth’ of Harley was near classic Joker style, the entire rest of the film with him and Harley ACTUALLY was surprisingly well handled. There was no lashing out towards Harley for getting in the situation she was in, and both times, he was focused on getting her back, and not, at least it seemed, just because she ‘belonged’ to him or anything like that.
Weakest links of the flick were Katana (Who’s character design was impressive, but her backstory, motivation for being with the others, and everything along with it were horrid), Captain Boomerang, who was clearly there to be the ‘annoying’ side of the Squad, and this is an immensely ‘petty’ one on my end, I actually wished that The Wall, aka Amanda Waller’s actor was actually heavier then she was in the film. Her actor was FLAWLESS, don’t get me wrong in the slightest, but being used to the animated Justice League/Unlimited/Arkham Assault Waller, I was slightly hoping for the more imposing figure she was in those series.
All and all though, it was the most ENJOYABLE DC film I’ve seen in over a decade, simply because it was FUN.
