His performance was outstanding, the problem is he only got about five to
ten minutes of screen time, when he should have been a bigger part of the
movie because of how much he prepared for it and how great his
performance is.
In the comics The Joker is some what mentally abusive to Harley Quinn
which is a problem to some people. That however is The Joker’s character
because he is psychotic and not mentally well so that could never change
anyway. The directors did change that part a little bit as The Joker is
extremely loving and infatuated with her, while jumping through hoops to
save harley while still being his normal psychotic self. The Joker is a crazy
psychopath which makes for such an interesting and unique character that he
is the best element in this movie.
Will Smith plays Deadshot and extremely well, I might add. All of his lines
are so witty and funny that he is a big factor in the comedy aspect which
enhances the movie because who doesn’t like comedy? The father-daughter
dynamic is so heartwarming and will bring you to tears as in prison he can not
see his daughter. Deadshot was definitely the one with the biggest heart in
the bunch because of the love for his daughter and just his personality in
general. The character Boomerang who is played by Jai Courtney, also is
extremely funny and will definitely make you laugh out loud with his
weirdness and general humor.
The characters were the living being of Suicide Squad, but what about the
plot and conflict? Unfortunately the plot did fall pretty flat as the movie just
didn’t flow well as a whole and was choppy at times. The conflict could have
been something different that could have definitely made the movie connect
and flow better as a whole. There is a possible reason for the choppy plot as
DC was pressuring the director to get the movie out in 2016, so therefore it
was rushed. Now even though that there was a possible reason doesn’t mean
it couldn’t have been better.
Overall the movie fell flat as far as the plot aspect goes, however the
characters and dialogue make the movie worthwhile to watch and love. The
characters were absolutely amazing and the plot wasn’t too bad but could
have been better so it was definitely a winner and I highly recommend you go
see this movie as it is definitely worth your money.
