It’s obvious that at the moment anything that is decent will be super hyped because unfortunately in these recent years we got used to watch total garbage… so yeah, this movie is not bad at all. But because of the huge movies quality drop in these years, people overreact to movies slightly well done.
The movie is fun, started very very well… then it slows down a bit… some “wtf” scenes… and then a decent ending. It’s cool.
Small Spoilers:
Negative:
I don’t understand why any harley quinn scene gotta be a mtv music video. She had a few completely useless scenes… but i got it, she’s the “star” and has that “Cruela syndrome” former villain now loved by everyone…
The Milton joke was milked way too much. This kind of joke usually just needs to be said one time and with a few seconds duration, it’s funny and done, move to the next one. It felt like a comedian telling a joke and then explaining it during the next 2 minutes…
The Fighting scenes are extremely bad… I don’t wanna sound like a douche, but I watch a lot of martial arts movies… bruce lee, jet li, jason statham, tony jaa, donny yen, you name it, i watched it. So it’s a little uncomfortable for me to watch such bad fighting “choreography”. Maybe it’s Cena that can’t turn off the wwe mode, but fuck, that was bad.
Near the end that scene where a poc woman knocks out Waller (also poc lol) and tells the white dude to move “you fucking dickead” and he replies: “yes m’am”. Not only it was cringy and unnecessary, it was also racist af (by their new standards anyway). Clearly a scene to make the mob happy.

Positive: Idris Elba is an amazing actor, made the movie.
The Shark was very cool. Great character.
The production was good, Great CGI…
Viola Davis was great as well… Cena was, surprisingly, not bad (with exception for the fighting scenes lol).
As a Portuguese, I liked the Portuguese girl and her story :D
The movie feels like a 8/10, but in reality is a 6/10. We’re just used to much worse movies than this. ;D
Cheers
