Cinephile No. 599 "Suicide Squad"

What I am about to utter, is one of the most disappointing things I have had to say about a movie: Without a shadow of doubt in my mind, "Suicide Squad" is one of the worst movies based on a comic book I have ever seen. I still read comic books and have always been a DC Comics fan, but for two hours I felt ashamed for being in a movie theater. I felt as if I was witnessing a murder and I should be doing something to help. But, there I sat, helpless and bewildered. Before me, I watched poorly developed characters take part in a poorly developed plot fighting a poorly developed villain. Before the credits could roll to finally put me out my misery, I was left with a simple thought: tell a complete story. That's it. That's all that is required of any movie. So, your up next Wonder Woman and you're in luck, because my expectations couldn't be any lower. 

Be good to each other,
