Harley Quinn's Portrayal in Suicide Squad

Let me start off by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed Margot Robbie's performance. I've been waiting so long for Suicide Squad to come out and it was mainly due to the excitement of seeing a movie portrayal of Harley Quinn. She 100% made that movie. I think the rest of it sort of fell pretty flat of expectations to be honest. That being said, there were some questionable plot points. Here is your spoiler warning! If you have not watched the movie do not read on from here.

Before I get into it, I'd like you to know that I have not actually read all of the comics. Therefore my knowledge is limited by that. Don't get mad if I get something wrong but please do correct me. Thanks.

So the comics and the movie are similar in that Harley falls in love with the Joker while working as a psychiatrist. What gets me about the movie is that they imply that it was the Joker who physically harms her creating the crazy Harley Quinn we all know and love. However, I didn't get that impression through the comics. This puts a different twist on her love for the Joker making it seem a bit more artificial. My question is was it not believable enough that she could have just fallen in love with him and let her crazy out? Just a thought.

I never did watch the Superman vs. Batman movie. I'm just not a Superman fan. Don't shoot! Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm curious if there was something in that movie that led to the fact that they had Superman dead in the beginning of Suicide Squad. I may not be a fan but I can't imagine why DC would kill off such an iconic character. Making him go home? Maybe. Dead? Not so much. I don't know it sort of bugged me. I felt like I missed something big and I probably did having not watched Superman vs Batman. What do you think?

Overall, I'd have to say that I enjoyed the movie. I think that they could have dug a little deeper as far as plot goes. I feel like they started putting together all of these scenes with cool background music and then went, "Crap! Forgot about the plot. Probably should add that." Seemed bare minimum. I mean seriously is no one going to question what the hell El Diablo just turned into? Did they know he could do that because it did not seem like he knew they knew. I mean didn't he say something like, "...show you what I really am."? That might have been a little confusing but you get my point.

Anyways what did you think of the movie? Love it? Hate it?
