This is a movie for the fans of the old school JLU.

the plot feels like a regular episode of the series. the pacing was flawless. the characters are tragic but not in a bring u down kind of way but in a more heroic manner. the villains feel like a genuine threat.

all in all, a great homage to one of the greatest animated series ever

Lately DC animated movies haven't been as good or as fun as they used to be. the last really good DC animated movie I remember watching was Gods and Monsters. that is until this movie. the strongest aspect of this movie is it's plot. it starts with a bomb action and from there on it's a thrilling experience throughout. I was taken from the very first minutes and this movie never lost my interest. the pacing is brilliant, spending just the right amount of time to establish back story and characters motivation. nothing more nothing less I see that DC keeps experimenting with it's art style, which is a welcome practice. and I hope that in the future they will refine it even further because stories this good deserve that. another little problem I had with it was it's sense of humor. they could have used better writing in that department. because mostly when it was trying to be funny, it just came off as cringy. and, in my opinion, harley quinn still remain under used. I feel DC never fully utilizes harley's fighting capabilities, instead opting to make her a purely comic relief character. and so it is hard to buy that she would actually be chosen as part of the suicide squad but all in all this is a great movie and a must watch for any and all DC fans

This movie could have gone the easy route. it could have been a body snatcher type flick with great visuals and an intriguing creature concept, not very original but still fascinating. throw in a twist at the end and you have an ok movie that people forget about after sometime. Instead it opted to go a more stimulating route and for attempting to do that I give this movie credit. having said that, it just failed to do so. too much time is spent on world building instead of character and for that this movie suffers because for what it was trying to do, it didn't lay the proper base. I couldn't connect with the characters. I didn't understand their drives. they were just thrown in a situation and you just see it unfold through out. the destructive notion that this movie was trying to play with didn't matter because the viewer simply couldn't care. and I don't understand why film makers think that ambiguity is a necessary part of any arty project. the final act is so all over the place that the ending just becomes annoying. learn your inception from your matrix people
