I am in two minds about this film.
On one hand, I really did enjoyed it well enough.
However, I'm in no rush to see it again and it was rather... dull... in places.
Not something I thought I'd ever say about a James Gunn movie.
The beginning is great fun, and I don't know where else they can take the Harley chatacter after this (other than maybe a prequel?), and there are plenty of funny moments with some great action beats.
It just felt a little... I don't know.
Maybe because Gunn was clearly let off the leash he didn't have to restrain himself and so moments that may have been handled with more care were allowed to simply explode?
There is a lot of blood and gore, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
As I said, I enjoyed it, and I will watch it again someday, I'm just in no big rush to revisit it.
A generous seven out of ten.
I've read the Suicide Squad and DC comics for a very long time, and all the low reviews with the 'restore the Snyderverse' hashtag can go away.
