vision can't match mission

The whole movie is good and very entertaining, and it is considered a meal after watching it. So despite the mixed praise and criticism from the outside world, I personally think it is still a very successful movie. The media felt that the movie did not portray characters well, but many viewers still bought it, and I was one of them.

The most successful aspect of the film is its pre-publicity. Just seeing Harley Quinn became like this before the movie was released, I have to say that the propaganda department is very powerful. The trailer is also very powerful. Several versions interpret the character's characteristics in just over a minute. The music is also very naughty, which arouses the audience's interest and leaves the story in suspense. It's the most powerful trailer in the near future. Posters, character design, costume makeup, and various graphic designs are all handsome, guessing this is one of the reasons why the audience buys it. Think about it arousing the curiosity of the audience with just a poster, can you say that this is not great? Coupled with Steven Price's music, it's hard not to be passionate.

However, the core of the movie-the plot is really difficult to satisfy. Recently, starting from Deadpool, badass hero movies have become popular. However, many movies have not grasped the coherent narrative style when interpreting these evil and righteous characters. Often the protagonist’s bad character is taken too badly, and when it’s good, he becomes an ordinary hero. The success of Deadpool lies in his good grasp of the purpose of R-rank, so that the plot and the characters can be perfectly combined.

In this movie, the plot itself is illogical. When the villain has already ruined the city, the first task is to rescue a leader with a bad personality. In the end, the bad guys are still queuing up one by one. After beating her brother, he will play the ultimate boss. The other party is really waiting! Simply unreasonable. It took only 15 minutes to really fight the ultimate boss, and various scenes of the epiphany of the righteous heroes who created the blood of the blood. It's better to just "you made me mess up, I want to kill you if I care about who you are".

Fragments can also be used to describe the narrative. It's just one scene, one style. The first third of the movie is pretty good, the style is dark, and the memory rhythm is well mastered. The fragments of the plot in the later period, and the funny section that is bluntly added to please the audience, people can't participate in the plot physically and mentally. Although it is understandable that this movie, which gathers nearly 10 heavyweight heroes, is difficult to describe all the life experiences and personalities of all of them. However, it is so rough that after the audience watched the movie, they did not know more than half of the people in the team. It would be a failure. The joining of the Japanese samurai was also a big failure. It can be seen that it was completely used to please the Asian market, and did not even bother with this role.

Having said so many shortcomings, I still give a good comment because of the entertaining nature of this movie. Unfortunately, it can be seen that the final film was influenced by many senior executives and the market. The rush of production, the rough script, and the adjustments made to cater to the so-called market trend in the later period all created a weak atmosphere in the later stage of the film. It can only be said that in implementing the vision of the director's style, I lost to the first-class mission of making money.
