Honestly, the film was underwhelming, there were only 2 scenes that I really enjoyed. One involving Black Mask and a table, the other re Harley and Cass in a shop. Can't say more on that, not because it's spoilery but because I want you to experience it for yourself. There may have been a third scene but I cant remember it.
Do I have a favourite character in this film? No, not really. Yeah..that was a surprise to me too. Not even Harley? Well...the writing is meh. The script failed Robbie, she still performed well in my opinion. I mean sure some characters had their 'moments' I guess...Montoya wore a t-shirt at one point, maybe more than one occasion. It read, "I shaved my balls for this.".......
Now for the action, I only liked the scene where it involved Harley, just before the pier segment. Choreography, some good ideas in there but executed in a mediocre fashion.
What were the problems with this film? Let me do a reverse by answering what was good about it? Not much like I said above. The music was fine? From a general audience POV, I suppose it couldve been enjoyable..this movie just doesnt really leave a mark
Before I was defending this film from people saying they are nothing like the comic characters. Well, thats because I expected more substance in the finished product ie the entire film. I mean, it cant possibly be just like this? Script is indeed king, like it always is. Montoya, Huntress, Black Mask and Cass were in the film. Just the spirit of those characters was absent. Cass was the least like her comic version which was very disappointing and surprising (re my more substance comment).
The version of storytelling they used just didnt work either which made it even worse as the script is already lacking. Other films use this technique expertly but you need to know how to use it. Overall this film just doesnt know what it wants to be, throw a bit of this and that and hopefully something sticks. Distract the audience with enough whatever it is they are trying to do so they dont notice how weak the script and the characters actually are. The politics didnt help either but at least it wasnt too glaring.
