Suicide Squad review

Suicide Squad, one of everyone's most anticipated superhero movies of 2016 only because the Joker was in the trailer!  The film stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Ben Affleck, and many more!  I can't really explain what the plot is because this movie doesn't really have one.  Which is one of the movie's many negatives.  But I will start with the positives, because there is a few.  First of all, I found the squad to be quite likable, especially Deadshot, Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang.  Some of the action sequences were pretty well done, and there is a part during the final act that I thought was the coolest moment in the entire movie!  It involves Diablo and trust me, it is fucking awesome!  There is also a pretty great moment involving Batman and Harley Quinn, I personally found it pretty hilarious!  And the black woman in this movie, I forgot her name, but wow, if she was the real villain in this movie, she would have been the best villain in the DC Extended Universe so far!  Now for the negatives, because I have quite a few!  First of all, the person who leads the squad is really bland!  The editing in the movie sometimes is quite bad, it felt really choppy!  The main villain in this movie sucks ass!  She wasn't Lex Luthor bad, but she was by far the blandest villain these movies have had so far!  And although Diablo was quite awesome during the movie's final act, he does almost nothing throughout the rest of the movie leading to that scene, and I know that the movie provided a reason why, but I still wish he would have done more!  And besides the first 20 minutes of this movie, having the Joker in this movie was pretty pointless, because he serves absolutely no purpose in this movie after Harley Quinn's backstory is over with!   Now I have to answer this question that everyone has been asking, why are critics and audiences hating on these DC Extended Universe movies?  Well, it's because DC is trying to be Marvel!  Because people are loving the MCU movies (including me), DC is trying to do the same thing and they are failing so far.  Overall, Suicide Squad is okay, it's not good but it's not bad either.
