I enjoyed it but…
A bit too long. Lots of funny stuff. Polka dots mom was hilarious. Harley Quinn was awesome. Bloodsport was badass, should get his own movie. Rick Flagg was sad. 7/10
shareI like Harley Quinn fine, but her bits were the unnecessary scenes in the movie. That's where it really got draggy. Always felt like we were leaving the main storyline.
shareYeah but that HQ escape scene was the best part, imho.
shareI hated her escape sequence, all of a sudden the baddies don’t know how to shoot at her and just run up to her to be shot in the head one after another? Too much plot armor.
shareBecause it was specifically put in to make Harley look cool at the expense of the plot pacing and story.
Robbie got top-billing but really had no business being top-billed because Harley Quinn is not a character that can carry an entire movie, and really I never understood her being part of the Suicide Squad other than that she's popular, but her role in this movie was even less important than it was in the first movie, and she was already an extraneous addition to the first film other than being eye-candy.
I would have preferred more sub-plot developing the distrust between Flagg and Peacemaker so their final showdown would have felt more like a pay-off rather than a way to kill off both characters over a MacGuffin.
