After seeing this popular movie, I was upset about many of the things the movie/storyline seemed to miss. Are you a real Suicide Squad fan? If so, you'll agree with me on the following:
1. Backstories
An essential part of any superhero movie, this movie started out with failing to introduce one of the squad members(Slipknot), yet he hardly mattered as he was killed off almost immediately. Aside from the lack of his back story, there was practically no follow up on any of the Squad's backstory's beside Harley Quinn's and Deadshot's. These backstories could have had better development in and of themselves, and Will Smith, although a great actor, is almost becoming redundant as a heartbroken father character in every movie he's in.
2. Lack of incentives
Suicide Squad was a big change up from the typical superhero movie because it was a group of supervillains forced to carry out a mission in the place of heroes. The base idea itself is a gold mine, but the execution was like a mining spill. At first, the incentives for the suicide squad were pretty clearly cut, but as the movie unfolded the crew of criminals acted absurdly obedient for a gang of nasty thugs, and even went back to jail with hardly a protest. Especially once Waller is rescued from the building and kills her entire crew, at that point the only thing she seems to have to control the suicide squad is a cell phone. Deadshot could have blasted that thing out of her hands, especially after they defeated the enchantress and there was no chance there could be another camera in the room that could see them doing away with Waller. I've heard leading a gang of kittens is hard, but hearding a gang of unhappy super villains sounds significantly harder. None of them even tried to remove the charges from their neck, all of which were relatively shallow and they all knew where they were as they were awake at the time of implantation. A wee bit of plot development could have done countless things to make a lot of these unbelievable incentive issues make sense.
3. Inconsistent bad guys
The bad guys were cool, they just had a lot of situations where they didn't make sense. The Enchantress's brother went from incredibly overpowered to the point where he could easily smear a row of tanks away to weak enough where a full force kick from him gave Harley Quinn hardly a bruise, as well as a few members of the suicide squad who have normal human bodies.
More so than this we saw at the very start that the monsters spawned by the Enchantress could fire guns when we saw them shoot down the squad's original helicopter. They used weapons incredibly sparingly and seemed to all switch to fist fighting mode whenever convenient for the movie, and it was painfully obvious how cheesy these types of inconsistencies arose during the movie.4. The commercial had all the best parts
A movie like this banks on the one-liners, and it seems as if almost every (I did count a good one liner not in the commercial by Will Smith) good one liner was already advertised, and it made them all feel stale. From the absurdly cheaply done CGI for the intro and credits to the hardly believable fight scenes, the commercial really did have all of the good parts of the movie.
5. The Joker and Harley Quinn's overly-sexed up relationship
Yes, they're both eccentric, but running clubs like a mob boss has never really been the Joker's style, and making him into some type of casino running pit boss with the stripper-Harley girlfriend was an odd fit. I really didn't like how they displayed their "polyamorous" relationship when the Joker murdered some associate of his because he would have sex with Harley in front of him for whatever reason; that whole scene felt too pressed and didn't really make sense from any angle. The Joker and Harley Quinn's relationship is supposed to be a demonstration of how messed up domestic abuse can be and has been taken by Hollywood and popular media to leave little teenage girls posting things like "The Joker and Harley Quinn: #relationship goals" When their relationship is a terrible example of what people should be looking for in love. Although Margot Robbie and Jared Leto both did a good job acting, the entire way both characters were portrayed seemed sub-par.
