Michael's Movie Grade: F
Review: Simply a horrible horrible movie. Deserves a place along side the worst comic book movies ever made.
Everything that could go wrong with this film did. I believe none of the characters, and many of them are so underdeveloped that it is impossible to say what their personalities are (Especially Killer Croc and Captain Boomerang). On top of that we are supposed to feel sympathy for many evil characters. I am sorry I find it hard to sympathize with someone who kills people for no reason but to get money, or because they think it is fun. Despite this I am supposed to feel really bad from them at scenes. They way the go about doing this is extremely predictable and simply doesn't work. All these characters have been done much better elsewhere. On top of this the film is never fun, the humor doesn't work, and the story is a mess. To make matters much worse, this film includes the worst version of the Joker imaginable. Watching Jared Leto play the Joker is like watching someone do a terrible impression of Heath Ledger. Every scene with this character in it is painful to watch.
With films like this and Batman Vs. Superman I am really worried about what will happen to DC movies, because these films are some of the worst movies of recent years. let's just hope they can turn themselves around and make better movies, I hope they do, but I'm not sure they will.
This movie however is a terrible movie.
