I saw it last night and can confirm: it was pretty bad SPOILERS

Just wondering what folks thought.  Obviously this can be as spoiler-filled or as spoiler-free as you want it to be. 

Just trying to stick to my somewhat promise to post more often...still haven't figured out posting from home yet though. 

Hopefully everyone's lives are great.



Holes in the plot are par for the course with a lot of superhero movies, but this one has it in spades. Look - it was entertaining enough if you are bored and need a diversion but the storyline is seriously lacking any depth or weight. The more you think about it the more stupid the whole world they inhabit seems to be and the characters are all seriously one dimensional. Cliches were rife. 

On the plus side, there were some nice graphics. I enjoyed the look of the Enchantress using her magic with all the ash and burning embers effect, but after that (when she was all sexy-dance-magicing) it was 'meh'.  But yeah...there's not a lot of pluses. Margot Robbie's butt is the star of the film depending on your point of view.  Most of the jokes are seen in the trailer.
