Suicide Squad. Not even half as bad as i'd been led to believe. A bunch of DC villains get put together to save the day when one of their own goes a bit too far and threatens the world with destruction. The 'you're working for people as bad as you' angle is far too clumsy in its implementation, but i enjoy the fact that the 'heroes' never really renounce their villainous instincts even if they do act rather heroic sometimes. Will Smith isn't believable as Deadshot, simply because even trying to be a bit villainous seems to be too far for him - he's all talk and no villainy. Harley is great, and the only one i was really rooting for was the Aussie boomerang guy, who seemed rather out of his depth with some of the others and had a few anger issues.
I rather enjoyed it, all things considered.
