not so good that I'd watch it again, or be interested in a sequel.
- Me, as a Canadian: "Hey, awesome! Slipknot is being played by Native Canadian actor Adam Beach! I can't wait to see him in action as he oh, never mind"
- How many times did we see the team walking AWAY from the camera just so we could get a glimpse of Margot Robbie's admittedly fine-looking a$$?
- Speaking of which is a girl with a bat and a pistol really all that useful in fighting super-villains, even with the gymnastics thrown in? She's like DC's less capable version of Black Widow nice eye-candy but otherwise underwhelming.
- Captain Boomerang? I'm not sure being able to throw a stick and drink a lot of beer qualifies as 'super'.
- The Enchantress looks like that creep monster from Lights Out found another gig.
- Tall building with lights and supernatural things jumping out of it. I was waiting for Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd to appear with their proton packs. Just don't cross the streams that would be bad.
- The Enchantress morphs into this white chick who twitches like she's suffering from Tourette's Syndrome.
- And finally, The Joker after all the hype in entertainment magazines and shows, this turns out to be the least interesting incarnation I have ever seen. Not only did he not exude menace, he was boring. The Joker should never be boring. I thought Cesar Romero's Joker from the old 60s series was more interesting than this.

I agree with all of thisspot on.
Also, consider two things:- Waller assembles a team of super-villains to fight a Superman level threat. Who turns out to be a member of her team of super-villains. Bravo, Waller!
- As soon as they stole her heart, Enchantress could've bolted to revive her brother. Or she could've teleported to the briefcase, snatched it, and teleported wherever she wanted. There was no reason for her to wait to revive her brother when she did except for: because movie. That's some sloppy writing there.
I rented this movie this weekend and that's about all it's worth.
