A good movie

Since this movie received some poor reviews (which I didn't read before watching this flick), I thought it might turn out to be another underwhelming super-hero flick but I still wanted to check it out. Eventually, it turned out to be pretty cool and it seems that there is still some hope for the DCCU, in spite of what many seem to think. Indeed, basically, it was some kind of rather messed-up version of the Avengers running on acids. I mean, I have to admit it, it wasn't a home-run like 'Deadpool' was but most of it still worked. Indeed, they managed to give all these characters enough time and space to be fairly well developed and they were all pretty awesome. In fact, even though everybody was predicting that Margot Robbie would completely steal the show, I thought she was all right but I don't think she really stood out so much from the group but that wasn't an issue. Eventually, the only issue was that the story was not really strong. Indeed, it was all rather generic and predictable. By now, all these super-hero flicks have pretty much the same plot and in fact this concept of having an ancient being planning to destroy humankind had even been already done the very same year in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'. Also, the whole sequence about saving Viola Davis barely worked and should have been removed somehow. At least, they got the tone right and those bad guys remain pretty bad until the very end which was a relief. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
