Cara Delevingne’s Enchantress

Just like the rumors said, Enchantress and her mostly CGI brother are the villains of the film. However, unlike I hoped, the character is poorly written and her motivations aren’t at all clear. Thus, The Verge notes that, “Enchantress is spectacularly eerie in the early going, before the film turns her into a silly-looking CGI effect.” Which says something about the movie’s special effects, as well.

And this isn’t the fault of Cara Delevingne. According to IGN:

Enchantress herself is one misfire after another. A powerful, unpredictable character in the source material, she becomes a generic spell caster proclaiming loud mystic things in the movie. She’s also one of few female characters to have a sensible costume in the comics, only for the filmmakers turn her into a bikini-wearing witch who must kiss men to put them under her thrall. Delevingne’s talents are put to poor use as her character either acts the frail love interest as Moone or the bland sorceress as Enchantress.

It’s such a shame this character has failed – and it has failed, according to 99 percent of the reviewers, who say that she was one of the biggest faults of Suicide Squad.
