Suicide Squad

Merhhhh. 

I swear. This bedroom I live in is either too hot or too cold. It is never just right.

I've got a 40 year old who acts like a toddler in the house, refusing to tidy up after himself so there I am acting like the mother hen and then he just goes and messes it all up again.

The rest of the tenants do jack all to help either.

I'm the youngest in this God damned house and I'm the one with the most common decency and respect for a place we all equally rent and share.

It's infuriating, excruciatingly infuriating living with that monumental asshat and all these randoms time in and time out.

I've been in this house for three years. Three bloody years.

If I don't get out of here soon I'm going to go crazy.

To continue with the rant-like ness I'm going for let's get on with the review.

Suicide Squad, what an absolute pile of crap.

Considering the cast and all of the hype from this film I was expecting a lot more, although the reviews were terrible - I'll give it that.

But instead, I got a half assed plot-line that made absolutely no sense, a bunch of characters with barely any back story or depth to them and a very, very dull 2 hours of trying to stay sane.

The majority of the characters were pretty boring. I don't even remember their names to be honest except The Joker, Harley Quinn and the Witch/Enchantress, whatever you want to call her.

I can't make up my mind if I liked Cara Delevingne's character or not. She was beautiful, obviously but the voice when she changed into the witch was a bit weird plus she was defeated way too easily for my liking.

Will Smith was boring. Jai Courtney was boring.

Boring, boring, boring.

And don't even get me started on what I thought of The Joker. Terrifyingly and unnecessarily unattractive for starters, awful acting and - even though he was made out to be a bleedin' main character - was only actually in the film for a sum of about ten minutes.

Jared Leto should stick to singing. At least he's good at that.

Right, the positives of the film - however few there may be - was that I rather liked and enjoyed Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn.

I can see how she may irritate some as she was quite full on, but I thought she did a great job and really pulled the film through to the end.

I also appreciated the wonderful cinematography. The vivid colours and the way it was shot was beautiful, it's just such a shame the content was all over the place.

Comic book films, superhero films, super villain films, whatever you want to call them, are getting too much.

Overkill or what.

Please do yourself a favour if you haven't seen this and do not watch it.

Glad I didn't pay to see this shite in the cinema.

Independence Day: Resurgence

I really need to start writing these reviews as soon as I've seen the film otherwise I lose all memory of details and end up spending an age trying to remember what actually happened.

Now, Independence Day.

I wouldn't say I was a hugeee fan of the first one. It's good, don't get me wrong. But Adeel is a massive fan so I always knew we'd watch the second one.

I was pretty excited though, wondering what they'd do different this time.

Like with everyone else (I assume), I was disappointed that Will Smith wasn't reprising his role after 20 years. Everyone else managed to be in it, yet one of the main characters wasn't. Annoying much?

However, I did find Liam Hemsworth to be a pretty good substitute.

He's playing his usual sort of charming, funny role. But I enjoyed his subplot with the romance and even more so the fact that his girl got in on the action of fighting with the aliens as well.

Maika Monroe was pretty good as Hemsworth's love interest and the former President's daughter. Like I said, I loved how she was able to be a helpful role in bringing down the alien force. It wasn't all left down to the men as usual which was nice.

Jeff Goldblum as always was amazing. I will forever enjoy anything he is in after playing Ian in Jurassic Park. Enough said.

The rest of the cast were good too, especially Bill Pullman as a slightly going-off-the-rails Whitmore.

The storyline was pretty much the same except with bigger aliens and some of the characters (like Whitmore) having all of these visions to sort of predict their next attack.

I liked the added element of alien and human working together against a bigger alien foe and the CGI and finale were spectacular.

I can't really remember much else, I just know I enjoyed it!

Plenty of action, some edge of your seat moments and a good dose of romance/feel good moments.
