Not a fun but a semi-interesting fact: when we see Harley Quinn do that thing where she grabs the key with her feet and opens the lock, the actress (Margot Robbie) actually does that by herself all the way to opening that lock. And now that I told you that fact, remember the scene in The Wolf of Wall Street where she "shows the goods" to DiCaprio's character? And now you are probably wondering how she would perform in bed (insert the DiCaprio meme from that movie where he bites his fist because she's so hot). You're welcome.

Actually did have fun shutting my brain off for this movie, it earned it's suspension of disbelief. This actually felt like a fun, irreverent, ensemble anti-hero movie. The starfish was a McGuffin, the real Justice League could have swooped in at anytime if it became a problem, easy to kill. But it was the data that was the real climax, even has the most intense fight of the movie, and where the limits of the team are broken. I think that was actually a clever bit of writing, and it made its impact bc of the chemistry the team is given throughout the movie. B movie, and that's a compliment compared to what I think of the rest of the DC films in the last decade.

In-universe, that'd be a terrible look for the US. Hence why Waller didn't complain when Bloodsport promised to keep the files a secret... after the shitshow surrounding Superman vs. Zod, _this_ US probably sees PR as more important than anything else.

You know, the idea that “anyone can die at any time” doesn’t really work when, outside the opening, no one important dies until the climax. Maybe instead of killing off the entire decoy squad in one scene, they could’ve killed Blackguard, Javelin, and Savant to show they mean business then kept Boomerang, Mongal, and TDK around to pick off over the course of acts 2 and 3, because as is, up until the bombs go off in Jottunheim kicking off the climax, it doesn’t feel like the squad are in any actual danger.
