Nutshell: Was I supposed to enjoy that?
Expanded: Based on the trailers (never trust trailers) and initial reviews I thought this was better than Batman v Superman. It just wasn't. It wasn't worse, but it wan't better. It felt just as lacklustre and 'trying too hard' as B v S, but where B v S had at least pace, good fight scenes and Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad felt flat, rushed and like it missed the mark.
Will and Margot were good. The rest were iffy.
DC, fail again I fear. You better not stuff up Wonder Woman. I still want her to dress more sensibly for battle, but whatever. I still have hopes for this one.
In other news, my Tumblr feed is all about punching Nazis (in RL) which is cool. It does however make me want to rewatch Captain America, First Avenger.
In, other, other news, I saw Rodney in Incorporated! Hurrah! Post-climate-apocalytic world run by evil corporations isn't scary at all.
