What a waste
This movie suffers from Margot Robbie's overconfidence. She doesn't know her source material at all, which is an insult to comic book fans, she puts her character over the others, turning this film from less of a girl gang movie into a "look at me I'm the best" movie. From the ridiculously long title, to the glorifying of only her character, to the queer-baiting this film is a mess. The action is poor, clumsy and unbelievable, the story makes no sense, and rambles. By making every single antagonist male, from the cops to all the gangsters there is some male bashing going on (are you telling me Rene Montoya was the only female cop in all of Gotham, oh and not just the only female cop but the smartest too? That's all Gotham has, one female cop who is clearly smarter than her male counter parts). Also by claiming that HQ came up with all of Joker's best scheme's is stupid, so what was he doing before her to become the Joker? Nothing? It's more of that fatal Charlie's Angels problem, not only are all men bad, they must all be stupid too? There was potential here that is wasted for a glorified vanity project. There is a great deal of arrogance shown in this film. If you want a great superhero female empowerment film that is well written and well put together see Wonder Woman.
