I know he did have some sort of a purpose, being killed off to set an example, but they didn't even try to incorporate him into the story or get you attached to him in any way or make you think he had any other purpose than to die.  And while I can definitely see that Katana was more loyal/affiliated with the army guys than the others, she was advertised as being part of the team.

Other things, positive and negative... there were a good amount of chuckles.  Some of the dialogue came across as very cliched or just written for the trailer.  As far as I can tell, it was well cast, all the actors seemed good for the parts (even though I don't know squat about these characters in the comics so I can't really cast an accurate judgement).  I thought the pacing was terrible.  I liked most of the costumes, particularly Enchantress's first design (and I'm a costume design major so that's important to me).  The cinematography was kind of dizzying sometimes.  The backstories they actually went into were done pretty well.  I didn't like the editing, characters would be in one place and then in another, without an explanation of how they actually got there.  They didn't do a good job making me care about the whole taking over the world thing - considering every summer action movie ever is about taking over or destroying the world, you really gotta put some effort into making it stand out and feel like something's at stake.  I hated, HATED Enchantress's last line so goddamn much, that was my biggest moment of irrational anger out of the whole thing.

pfft.  ok Jaspin, ok.

Oh, that's a good one.  Complicates my plan for how Elizabeth burns down Jaspin's house, but I'll figure it out.  What kind of superhuman strength or speed are we talking?  I'm thinking that they're definitely much more durable than a human.  It takes a helluva lot to hurt or cut them, but once they're cut, they can't heal.  Being burned can kill them.  If they were to get decapitated or their head was crushed, that'd kill them.  Thoughts?
