Unfortunately for them, the reviewers are right. This is a very poor film. Thin, predictable plot, uninteresting villain, equally uninteresting characters the majority of whom barely get any kind of backstory beyond a few lines, implausible plot even for comic book movie standards.

Wow, that was bad. I mean I didn't expect something extraordinary but at least on par with stupid, but charismatic and fun Guardian of the Galaxy. Yet they somehow wasted all potential and create some mess.
1. Characters supposed to be bad,Wow, that was bad. I mean I didn't expect something extraordinary but at least on par with stupid, but charismatic and fun Guardian of the Galaxy. Yet they somehow wasted all potential and create some mess.
1. Characters supposed to be bad, ugly and interesting. But ones that actually somehow interesting are Deadshot, Harley and El Diablo. Others just kinda there, doing stuff. Japanese girl, Slipknot (haha, at least he had a story-wise purpose), marines, Croc, Boomerang (wtf? boomerang? seriously?) and even Joker could be easily removed from the movie.
2. Bad guys are just... there. As you could imagine they bad, they ugly (and a bit sexy), they try to destroy world (for some reason) and produce zombie-like minions. Yep, that again. They even didn't forgot to add giant portal in the sky.
3. Plot is clunky inconsistent and plain stupid. Most interesting part is actually introduction of the characters in first part of the movie, down from there it's just mess.

I tried to enjoy this movie, I really did. But it's just not good, it's not fun, it's not smart, not ironic - it's average at best.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Day 1 and the DC fans are out in full force creating multiple accounts to spam 10s for a movie they probably haven't seen. Click on 95% of a '10' score and notice how the account only has ONE movie reviewed. You think they would at least remember their log ins to they can reuse them for BvS, Wonder Woman and all the future DC movies but I guess when your creating temp accounts all day that's too much work. Not even a week in and this movie has twice as many positive reviews than a movie like Furious 7, that was received well A YEAR AGO. Keep struggling to get those user scores up, boys.
Aside from the poor pacing, bad editing, so-so acting and spotty story telling, let me give you some reasons why this movie has glaring issues that fans don't want to admit to.
This movie is a perfect example of writing the story to fit the scenes that are needed, besides writing the scenes that are needed for the story. Here's just a couple examples?
We need to have Batman in this movie and show that Deadshot is a family man: Batman attacks Deadshot and his daughter in an ally and then says he doesn't want to "do this" in front of his daughter. Deadshot pulls a gun and aims it AT HIS DAUGHTER and Batman stands there with a little girl between him and a bullet. A failure on all levels.
We need to show the pyro gang-banger is a changed man: Have him stand in the middle of a fight and do nothing to show he's a pacifist. Luckily no creatures attack him so he doesn't have to fight back. Then the very next fight have some one provoke him into fighting. Mission accomplished.. I guess.
We need to remind everyone that Katana is a good guy: So she talks to her sword so Rick Flag can explain that the dead soul of her husband is in that sword. Great.
We need to show The Joker is ruthless and unstable. How about a club seen with Common not really hitting on Harley, but the Joker goes berzerk in an entire scene that makes no sense what-so-ever. And why are the Joker and his thugs all gang-bangers?
We need to show that Amanda Waller is a back stabber and can't be trusted: How about we have her kill her entire team of technicians for absolutely no reason. "They didn't have the clearance for this" For what? Their jobs? Huh?
My favorite: We need to have a end credit scene with Batman leading into Justice League: Have Bruce Wayne approach the coldest most ruthless woman in the world and ask for a list of meta humans. She figures out he's Batman, of course. Smooth move "Greatest Detective." Why didn't he just steal the information and remain anonymous? Better yet, didn't he get this information already from Wonder Woman in BvS?
Many character got 2 introductions and a special flashback just to bring on the 'feels" but it all felt jarring and took us out of the action. I didn't know a movie could have ADD.
Due to all the exposition and origin stories needed the movie felt crowded and rushed. That's the downside of rushing into the team up movies in a shared universe with all new characters. They had 7+ characters to explain. Did they all need origins? Too bad there weren't previous movies to do that ahead of time. They tried something different than Marvel's slow and steady method and it's starting to show cracks in the DCEU foundation.
And the biggest one: Why is a Suicide Squad even needed. This is a world were we see the Flash and Batman exist IN THE SAME MOVIE! The world is being destroyed and these heroes do nothing about it? And why would a handful of untrustworthy thugs with knives, boomerangs, bats and claws be better than some highly trained and well-armed soldiers? They even had some soldiers in the Squad to keep them in check so why bother bringing the bad guys? Because that story need to happen.
Why was the Squad being formed in the first place? What was the mission? By the time they are being selected, Enchantress goes rogue and they are used to stop her. So why were they formed in the first place? To fight a possible "bad" superman-like meta human? What are a bunch of non-meta humans with guns, boomerangs and bats going to do against a real meta human? The only Squaddies worth their weight were Deadshot and Diablo. Why don't you ask any of the good guys in that list you gave Bruce Wayne, Amanda Waller? Because this story needed to happen.
Now let's talk about the worst Joker we've ever seen on screen. This is a buff Joker with tats all over, "Damaged" written across his forehead and a metal grill in his mouth! Really!?! The Joker can't even speak or laugh menacingly due to all the metal in his mouth. DC fans are content with this? It's like they have been starving so long for a DC cinematic universe they will devour anything that's put in front of them. The opening weekend will be record breaking... the movies will break even... and WB will learn nothing from their mistakes.… Expand

Over-hyped, Hollywood needs to stop being so lazy in badly ripping off bad comics. It probably doesn't matter how badly this movie does in the box office, they'll all make money in the end and just produce some more terrible comic books.

Suicide Squad is a bad movie. However, it is bad in a unique way. This is the first movie I've ever watched that made me feel genuine embarrassment. I wasn't even out in public. I was watching this at home, and this movie made me feel embarrassed for ever liking DC Comics.

Where to begin? The pacing is atrocious. The film doesn't know how to start. The final cut feels like a dozen trailers edited together. The editing itself is awful. The soundtrack is insulting. The script is predictable. The dialogue is hollow. The visual effects feel dated. The action feels dull. The lighting is bland. The cinematography is uninspired. The character's motivations are whatever is convenient to the plot. The actors performances are truly awful. The film also cannot decide on what tone it wants to have.

On top of this, the movie is mind-numbingly boring. I was watching this at home with some friends, and they fell asleep! We weren't even watching it late at all! Ugh. This might be the worst DC movie. I think the only people that like this movie are people that like to pleasure themselves to Harley Quinn. I know that statement is probably going to get this review a lot of downvotes from the Metacritic trolls, but I don't care. Bring it on!… Expand

The script wasn't finished for this film. Its just a bunch of sequences played one after the other, trying to mimic the effect of a film. But in actual fact, this is not a film. Its a waste of time

The movieAmazing that there was a petition from a huge fanbase that enjoyed this "movie" to remove rotten tomatoes as a website, when it is simply a medium for critics and people to express their opinion, showing nothing but ignorance. The movie indeed sucks, it is an attrocious piece of garbage unfortunately. Still, if you wanna watch it go ahead, but that does not change the fact that it is trash. Had never seen such bad editing, although it is no suprise, they hired a trailer company to edit this movie. The script is ridiculous and inconsistent, and despite good casting, none of the actors involved had anything to work with. Jared Leto even let me down. No doubt he has proven he is a great actor, but he tried too hard in this one, and the joker simply became a joke, consistently generating unintentional laughs due to the ridiculousness of the script and the exaggerated acting from Leto. The plot does not even make sense, and Cara Delevingne as always has proven to all of us that she cannot act, not to mention the fact that her character was laughably awful.

Mes 3 points sont surtout pour Margot Robbie alias Harley Quinn qui incarne à merveille une nana déjantée, maquillée comme une voiture volée, frappadingue et très digne compagne du Joker... le Joker de Jack Nicholson, pas le pâlot ersatzMes 3 points sont surtout pour Margot Robbie alias Harley Quinn qui incarne à merveille une nana déjantée, maquillée comme une voiture volée, frappadingue et très digne compagne du Joker... le Joker de Jack Nicholson, pas le pâlot ersatz qu'on a vu dans les itérations diverses de la galaxie DC et a fortiori ici dans ce Suicide Squad de pacotille, même si j'apprécie l'acteur Jared Leto par ailleurs.

Bref, pas seulement une blonde bombasse affriolante mais aussi une personnalité vilainement attachante et sournoise. En fait, la seule personnalité de tout le lot, de cette pitoyable bande de "12 salopards", car le reste n'est qu'une triste bande de cons, de vilains dont on ne voudrait même pas à la fête foraine du coin.

Le "chef" naturel est bien entendu le plus con d'entre eux, à savoir Will Smith qui joue les mi-durs mi-mous, fait le grand écart entre les vannes à deux balles et la guimauve de sa petite pisseuse. Ce glandu est insupportable de beauferie et de prétention et tire inéluctablement vers le bas ce qui ne volait déjà pas bien haut.

Le scénario a été boulotté par des abrutis pas bien réveillés et seul le début, bien rythmé, arrive à faire illusion... ensuite, c'est à peine digne d'un téléfilm à la mords-moi-le-noeud avec psychologie à la petite semaine incluse. Il reste quelques scènes d'action plus ou moins correctes et de jolis effets badaboum mais la réalisation ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard : il faut croire que tout le pognon n'est pas forcément bien réparti...

On ne s'ennuie pas trop mais on souffle beaucoup, on lève les yeux au plafond... surtout vers la fin qui n'a rien d"épique : on serait davantage dans le grotesque, hélas même pas drôle au 3ème degré... c'est à se suicider de dépit. Heureusement qu'Harley est là sinon j'aurais taillé la route !… Expand

I barely forced myself to watch it for half an hour. Harley had... No personality. Joker was a gangster which is just... So not joker. Deadshot was good as far as I had seen. The plot was more shallow than that of an average chick flick. The movie seemed like an half-assed fanfiction an edgy tween wrote loosely based on the comic.

Here's the thing, I didn't hate all of it. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn? Amazing. Leto as the Joker? Ridiculously underused, but other than that pretty good. Viola Davis, is, well, Viola Davis, so she is obviously a big plus. However, the 'Suicide Squad' feels less like a squad and more like a group of angry children with no personalities (except for Harley Quinn, although she had a little bit too much personality sometimes). Every attempt at an emotional scene fails miserably, because the characters are not developed in any way. You know their names and what they can do, but that's about it. The action is so bad, it's laughable and the villain almost bores you to death. It is obvious the reshoots destroyed this film and the amazing marketing is the only thing that saved this mess from also failing at the box office. I won't give it an 'Emoji Movie'-bad rating, because I didn't fall asleep, laughed at some jokes and liked the visual of the film, mostly the costumes and make-up. But oh my god, I don't know if I can sit through this again. What. a. flop.… Expand

Puede gustarte el elenco o los cambios argumentales sobre los personajes pero para ser un largometraje, de cualquier tipo, es atroz.
Tras la muerte de Superman el Gobierno decide crear un equipo élite para futuros eventos sobrehumanos, la idea juntar a un grupo de villanos con habilidades especificas ya que los héroes se mantienen reticentes de cooperar con el Estado. Parece una plan interesante pero al final resulta que el equipo debe detener a un compañero de equipo que no pudo ser contenido.
El principal problema es la edición, que causa enormes fallos argumentales, un personaje que se dice fue dañado por los recortes de escenas es el Joker, quien termina siendo un incomprendido o un odiado por los fans del archienemigo de Batman. Otro gran problema es la producción, a pesar de que los enemigos son muy genéricos uno quiere ver escenas de acción, pero la cámara está sacudiéndose, siempre a oscuras por lo que apenas se pueden apreciar los combates.
Lo único que yo puedo destacar del film es a Batman, apenas aparece, pero tiene mucha presencia y lo poco que hace es satisfactorio.
En general si no la viste aprovecha que no has perdido tu tiempo, sencillamente el resultado es mediocre para lo que uno espera, hoy en día hay muchas alternativas de películas de super héroes, y "Suicide Squad" es una opción que conviene pasar de largo.… Expand

The writing is horrendous, several characters are brought in for no apparent reason (Katana and Killer Croc come to mind as both serve very little relevance to the plot), and the general plot of this movie has me questioning why I should care about it.

While Smith and Robbie shine as making the most of their characters and delivering performances that have me excited for the future of their characters, the rest of the cast falls prey to poor writing and does little to try to make the most of it. In addition the third act of this film is a sequence of CGI fights that are immediately forgettable and nothing short of sheer disappointing.

Following the criticism of Batman v Superman and Man of Steel for being "too dark", the producers of this film attempted to mimic Marvel's style of superhero film that is full of action and quips, but ultimately falls flat on its face. If any film in the DCEU is supposed to have a dark, grim tone, this is it, but reshoots and creative differences amongst the producers of this film create an inconsistent tone that makes it hard to follow.

The soundtrack is random and rarely appropriate for the scene its matched with while the film feels like it is more about setting up the future of the DCEU (a future that is now just as muddy as the plot of this film) rather than telling a coherent story.

Now to address the elephant in the room: the Joker. Jared Leto's Joker is far from the best representation of the Joker that we have seen on the screen and it might quite possibly be the worst. However I do believe that his iteration of the character is not complete trash as others would have you believe. Drawing from Golden Age source material (as opposed to Ledger's bronze/modern age interpretation), Leto's performance successfully portrays the "gangster" archetype of the Joker from that period. Nevertheless, this is not the correct version of the Joker and Leto does fail to deliver a praiseworthy performance.

Suicide Squad is a mess. The DCEU is a mess. You're better off investing time in the MCU or rewatching the Dark Knight trilogy until the mess is cleaned up.… Expand

Terrible script, terrible acting, inconsistent tone, a completely out of place soundtrack which is just trying to gain brownie points for throwing popular songs so the viewer goes "Oh hey!

It only makes the scenes worse as the tone is all over the place and the song doesn't even come close to fitting the scene.

The movie tries to accomplish too many things at once. It tries to be both lighthearted, funny and at the same time serious, and emotional. It only comes off as a ridiculous collection of horrible cliches.

The writing is bad, the directing is bad, and when these two things are bad - the actors, as good as they are, can't fix it. There is some pretty good acting - but their lines are horrible.
The characters are so hollow and empty - at no point in the movie was I ever convinced, even for a minute, than any character was genuine. They all behaved shifting irregularly between overdoses of eccentricity, and overdoses of seriousness.
The plot was mellow, to say the least.
The ending was so bad, so cliched, I found myself grimacing, cringing, and actually fast-forwarding an overly-smeared moment of undeserved slow-motion.
Nothing can fix bad writing combined with bad directing.
I felt genuinely sad for the actors that agreed to take part in this ridiculous creation.
I find it very sad, that managers in charge of such magnificent intellectual property characters can't find it in their minds to be original.
I kept remembering how brilliant, deep, and incredibly convincing The Dark Knight movie was, and I believe a good writer, with a good director, and obviously all this needs a competent producer - could come up with a movie to blow the audience's minds and last for years and years. The Batman proved it possible.
Suicide Squad feels like the production didn't even aim high, honestly - they knew people would pay money to see a high-budget super-villain movie, so nobody really cared if the movie itself was a complete disaster.
And this is exactly what Suicide Squad is: an unimpressive disaster of the worst kind: the boring, cliched, daddy-jokes kind.
No need to even begin to watch this - just go watch clips of the Joker & Harley on youtube - because those moments are as good as the movie gets. The rest is unnecessary garbage.… Expand

Hugely disappointing, especially coming after the magnificent BvS, but looks like that (and MoS) were the exceptions and DC is now going to start cranking out superhero movies as mediocre as Marvel's.

First problem: tries to establish wayHugely disappointing, especially coming after the magnificent BvS, but looks like that (and MoS) were the exceptions and DC is now going to start cranking out superhero movies as mediocre as Marvel's.

First problem: tries to establish way too many characters, with the result that we wind up not caring about any of them. This has been plaguing the X-men and Avengers movies too (who actually cares about Bucky?), and apparently DC has learned nothing from it. One hero we actually like with a real dramatic arc is way better than 6 we don't care about.

Second problem: Unbelievably bad villains. Magic Tentacle Dude and Shadow Woman are some of the least compelling villains since Loki's army of faceless aliens on hoverbikes. They're not threatening, they're not interesting, they're not even neat to look at. Relatedly, the Joker (who apparently was supposed to be the main antagonist in early versions of the story) is lackluster and given absolutely nothing to do in the plot. Turns out his whole point was just to be in the trailers and tease audiences into seats; we're not coming out to see Captain Boomerang after all.

Third problem: the story's own internal logic doesn't work. This is supposed to be a team of people who could fight "another Superman", yet almost none of them have any real powers, and half of them have already got their butts kicked by Batman? It's not a nitpick, this is a serious story problem, since it undermines the whole premise of the movie for every second of screen time and makes a lot of the characters' actions incoherent.

Fourth problem: Too much Will Smiff.

Fifth problem: The PG-13 rating. If you want to make a funny, edgy movie about badass anti-heroes, you need to go full R, period. Deadpool took that chance and it paid off beautifully (that was really the movie this wanted to be).

I'm bearish on the upcoming Wonder Woman and Justice League movies too; the former has the Grrlbusters problem of trying to turn a fun action movie into a nagging feminist lecture ("you're a secretary? Where I'm from we call that SLAVERY!"), and the latter is probably another overstuffed designed-by-committee fanservice-fest with no cinematic heart or soul (but this time with more Marvel-style snarky quips!). It looks like for the foreseeable future Nolan's Batman and Snyder's Superman movies are going to remain the high-water mark of this genre.… Expand

Instead, I am going to give you a list of recommendations based on what the marketing had people fooled into thinking Suicide Squad would be, but really wasn't.

If in a comic book movie, you are looking for:

-A good licensed soundtrack, watch Guardians of the Galaxy.
-a fun team of characters, watch The Avengers (or Guardians).
-good humor, watch Deadpool.
-realism and emotional maturity, watch The Dark Knight
-good characterization, watch Spider-Man 2.

And last, but most certainly not least:

-something cohesive, funny, tense, exciting, authentic, or even remotely entertaining, you'd have better luck with almost any other movie than Suicide Squad. It may not kill you, but it'll hurt you... really, really bad.… Expand

The humor felt forced and for the most part out of place. Harley Quinn is a good example here. Every time she opened her mouth, it had to be a "funny" one-liner, something that got old and cringey very quickly. Deadshot was ok I guess, even though it was just Will Smith playing Will Smith. The only character that I would consider interesting was El Diablo. There is a problem when you are making a movie about 8 different people that should be treated equally, and only two of them work. Not a good movie, but I guess you can enjoy it if you can overlook all of its problems. I sure couldn't.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mauvais et médiocre.

Très mal rythmé, les scènes s'enchaînent comme des clips. D'ailleurs c'est à se demander si ce n'est assumé... La présentation des personnages est lourde et fait office de catalogue de produits. A chaque perso, une nouvelle musique cool mais ça ne suffit pas pour faire un bon film.
Passé la première partie de présentation et la mise en place de l'intrigue, le reste du film est long et monotone. On s'ennuie alors que ça dure environ 2heures, chapeau bas...
Beaucoup de répétitions de scènes ad nauseam.

Les combats sont sans plus. C'est relativement basique.

Côté scénario, il est atrocement mauvais. Le méchant est nul et on nous rejoue le coup de la destruction/domination du monde. ça en devient lassant surtout pour une équipe de super-méchants.
Et c'est là qu'on arrive à l'échec principal du film : Ce ne sont pas des supers méchants. Ils ont été repeints à coup de peinture emo/bien-pensance. [spoiler] Ils ne tuent personne "d'innocent" ou gratuitemen [/spoiler] t de tout le film. Le plus massacré est "Deadshot" par un Will Smith générique et une trahison complète du caractère du personnage des comics. Les autres personnages sont insignifiants (Boomerang, Killer Croc (qui est tout petit et ne fait pas peur), Katana (qui est juste lol). Harley Quinn est pas mal par moments. Malheureusement sa relation avec le Joker n'échappe pas au coup de pinceau de team Bisounours. Le Joker est anecdotique, sans doute trop de scènes coupées.
Il n'y a aucune tension dans ce film alors qu'on suit la "Bisoun.. pardon Suicide Squad"...
Cara Delevingne est catastrophique, le jeu zéro dans toute sa splendeur. Franchement qu'ils arrêtent avec les mannequins.

A éviter à tout prix.

Since it's faster to tell you what's good about this movie than what's bad, here we go: Margot Robbie ! ...and the way she manages to give life to a character that suffers - like every character in this movie - from the god awful dialogues,Since it's faster to tell you what's good about this movie than what's bad, here we go: Margot Robbie ! ...and the way she manages to give life to a character that suffers - like every character in this movie - from the god awful dialogues, the bad costumes, bad acting, the wannabe-try-hard-complete-fail-coolness, and the terrible plot. Of course this is far from saving the movie!

1. Dialogues: some of the worst c*** I've heard in a long while. uncool, meaningless, unfunny, far from gritty, farther from credible. example:
HARLEY QUIN, looking at KILLER CROC: "He's ugly on the outside, too."
KILLER CROC: "Not me shorty (long dramatic pause) I'm beautiful."
HARLEY QUIN: "Yeah, you are."
KILLER CROC growls

Me thinking:...that supposed to be funny, cool, meaningful, gritty, mysterious....or is it just C**P! Movie is full of this.

2. Bad Costumes: either boring, not befitting of a modern version of the villain or just plain hilarious like the enchantress.

3. Bad acting: will smith is will smith. Delevingne portraits the enchantress like a cheap B-movie witch, Kinnaman desperately trying to sell us the tough guy. everyone else (except Margot Robbie) fails or doesn't get the chance to be anything meaningful.

4. Bad actor choice: Delevingne, Smith, Joel Kinnaman don't fit into their roles. especially Delevingne looks like a teenager although she is supposed to be an archaeologist.

5. action: wave of useless minions which don't pose a threat anyways - meaningless trash talk - wave of useless minions posing even less of a threat - meaningless trash talk - wave of minions - trash talk - uninspired, short and boring boss fight - more meaningless trash talk that no human with a brain could emotionally or intellectually relate to. If at least the action scenes would show something spectacular or creative or flabbergasting..but...nope. We get good old Steven Seagal B-movie fight scenes of the 90's.

6. plot: irrelevant

7. character development: no (unless u browse Wikipedia while watching)

8. the joker: One major reason for me to go see this flick was the joker. Unfortunately he almost never shows up and when he does, his appearances are so short that Jared Leto can't really shape his personal take on the new joker. That's why I want to be cautious in judging him and his performance. I can't say that I liked the new Joker as much as I did Jack Nicholson's or Heath Ledger's, but given the circumstances he did an OK job.

Conclusion: definitely among the worst movies of the past ten years considering the amount of money and actor-potential involved.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh boy! Ohhhh boy!! Suicide Squad has to be one of the worst movies of the year. Suicide Squad is directed by David Ayer (who is usually good) and stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman along with a host of other good actors. The problems with Suicide Squad starts with the plot. The original comic's had the villains carrying out political murders and other types of covert operations. They were NOT saving the world from a witch thing and her CGI brother. I guess it would have been okay if the villain was a well thought out character. Instead, we're "treated" to little character development and a clíche evil plan. Not to mention the villain looks like she's hula dancing 50% of the time. It takes the ending of "Ghostbusters", "The Amazing Spider-Man" and countless other films by going with the whole "beam into the sky" thing. The film also feels the need to have an exposition dump at the beginning of the film in the sloppiest way possible. They should've just showed us files on each the character. Oh. Wait. That's what they did!! They literally opened files and gave us basic info on several of the characters. Only the important ones. The other members received nothing which didn't really matter because one of them got killed in five minutes anyway. However, Katana didn't die probably because she never did anything at all. No development besides knowing her husband's soul is inside her sword. The soundtrack isn't even that good. It's like listening to the Top 50 charts for three hours. Finally, we get to the acting. It's all decent. Viola Davis gives the only great performance as Amanda Waller (a pretty scary one as well). Will Smith and Margot Robbie are both good, but Smith is just charismatic. It's not like he's that great playing the actual character. Robbie doesn't steal the show as many people thought she would. I think it has to do with the fact that Joker is in the movie for about 15 minutes. That's right. We were teased for a year that he would be a big part of the film and he's hardly in it. From what I say, Leto is okay, but not great. The big problem is the portrayal of his and Harley Quinn's relationship. It could've have been a great dynamic, but they cut out the part of the relationship where Harley grovels for attention, and Joker abuses her. It would've have provided a much needed dynamic that we never got. Instead, the director pretty much asked you to sympathize with Joker when he lost his girlfriend to prison. In the end Suicide Squad is a huge mess. Bad writing, a poor plot and only decent acting make it another failure in the DCEU. It could've have been fresh, strange and fun, but instead it devolves into a clíche ridden disaster. I give it a 1/10. Save your money and go buy a DVD disc of The Dark Knight.… Expand

This version of the joker is the worst and that's including ALL the jokers, from comics to cartoons to movies, ever. He actually does a Phyllis Diller laugh (a female comedian from the 50's). If you don't believe me, check her out on YouTube.
I think this is one of the most black-washed, violently racist movie I have seen in a while. The absolute worst, and the performance that made me lose all respect for him, came from Will Smith. I love the guy and have most of his films. When he took a gun and pointed it at a white cops head, in this time of real life death, where blacks are killing whites because of the color of their skins, for him to do this is unforgivable. He is a role model. Does he agree with the killing and violence? I guess so. Remember, this is a movie. That cop could have easily been black, but no. Instead you get the angry black man pointing a gun a a policeman's head. How anyone can be so stupid is confusing. How can anyone with a slogan that includes "lives matter" justify murdering? How can a race that complains of being treated bad because of the color of their skin treat others bad because of the color of their skin? I think the cumulative average IQ of the murderers and looters must be in the low 60's or so. How does looting stores and burning down businesses help their cause? This nation is crazy and the BLACKS HAVE DESTROYED EVERYTHING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED SINCE 1960 with "our" president encouraging them. Wow, what a crazy time to live in.
In all this is a stupid move that shouldn't have even been made and I truly feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to watch/enjoy it.… Expand

Let me preface this by saying I'm not one throw out low scores to films just to spite them because I didn't enjoy a movie. Suicide Squad really is a bad movie. I found it to be a hard 2 with little to redeem it.

Do not watch this movie.Let me preface this by saying I'm not one throw out low scores to films just to spite them because I didn't enjoy a movie. Suicide Squad really is a bad movie. I found it to be a hard 2 with little to redeem it.

Do not watch this movie. It's the most dead on arrival pile of garbage I've seen since Jupiter Ascending. I was excited for this movie like everyone else. It looked like a blast! Once we got a Batman v. Superman that left me saying "Meh" I became a bit worried and even more so after the mixed reviews for Suicide Squad came rolling out. But I went to see it anyway secure in the idea that even if it wasn't good it would at least be a fun little ride and a fine way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon.

Boy, was I wrong.

I could go on and on about all the problems SS has but I'll save us both some time and just go over what it does well.

1. The acting was fine from the main cast. Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller in particular stood out. Will Smith seems to be gaining some praise for his performance but I think people are confusing his Deadshot being a central character as him giving a good performance, because I thought he really phoned it in and it was completely lacking in the Smith charisma he's known for.

2. Enchantress looked cool, at least when she wasn't dancing an unexplained portal weapon into existence like a goof.

3. That's it. Yep. Solid acting with a few exceptions and a cool *looking* villain.

So what's bad about SS? Literally everything else. Story was flat. Dialogue was bad. Laughable at times and not laughable when it was supposed to be ("I'm beautiful!" says Killer Croc "Grooaaan. Why are you even in this movie?!" says me). Pacing and editing all over the place. Simply riddled with plot holes. It's just bad and worse than that, it isn't even fun. Thirty minutes in I was bored. An hour into it I was debating on leaving, and by the time the credits rolled I was so happy it was over. Not only to end the boredom but also so I could "Boo" it. I've been going to the theater for 25 years and this is the first movie I've ever actually booed. Save yourself ten bucks. Watch the "Bohemian Rhapsody" trailer again. There, you just saw a better version of Suicide Squad than the actual movie. Ugh.… Expand

The movieThis movie is not a good movie or a well made movie it is a bad movie. I can see how dc fans can find enjoyment watching their favorite heroes on the big screen but when they say this is a good well made movie they are wrong. The movie suffers from countless writing flaws and studio interference's.

there is too much **** in this movie to even try to explain it all in under 5000 words so I will tell it too you straight the critics got it right. This movie is terrible it is not well made it is terribly written and terribly edited. The only things I enjoyed in this whole film was will smith but even then I was just watching Will Smith play Will Smith. The only part of the movie where I thought that was cool was when deadshot was on the car shooting the waves of enemies. The villain is trying to learn to dance. She wants to do something evil ... kill us bases I have no clue. They have to use a flashback text images and a voice over just to explain who a character is. At the end of the movie nothing changed. The only character or story that changed or grew at all was the one who died. The joker did not even need to be in the movie save me the torture. Nothing was funny in the movie there was one person who laughed in my cinema. The music felt forced and stupid. It made me cringe who hard dc was trying to make this gotg. The ending fight scene is worse than fan4stick. The editing looks like it was done but a 5 year old. That does not even cover everything that was bad in this movie. I was going to give this a 4/10 but after thinking about it does not even deserve that. I had my expectations lowered so much I did not expect this movie to be worse than my expectations. If you enjoyed this movie good for you but you can not tell me that this movie was a well made movie you are plain and simply wrong.… Expand

Not my thing, but I can see why one would enjoy it if they are into comic books. Me, however, I am not. As it stands, it leaves more than a bit to be desired. First though, the positives. Will Smith is very charismatic and knows how to play Will Smith. Margot Robbie is terrific as Harley Quinn. Acting-wise, she is hit-and-miss in the film. However, in terms of playing Harley Quinn, she was born to play the role. I loved June Moore. Cara Delevigne did well as her. She struggled as Enchantress, but I loved June Moore. I really liked Jared Leto as the Joker. I loved the gangster take on it, which certainly plays into David Ayer's sensibilities, but I enjoyed it. That said, I would have either gone full Joker or cut him entirely from the film. He was a bit like filler in my mind. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed the middle of the film. The film moves past the classic rock music and the character introductions to truly find its groove. Here, it is imperfect, but thoroughly fun and enjoyable. That is, until the end.

Now the negatives. The film often plays as if David Ayer loved classic rock and had longed to make a music video for these songs. Unfortunately, he was misled into thinking this was a good time to do so. As a result, the songs are entirely distracting and take away from the film. They frequently pull you out of the movie and focused solely on the movie. The opening showcases this as they try to introduce the characters. The character development also sucked. Suicide Squad forgot there were more characters than Deadshot and Harley Quinn apparently because nobody else got any attention, especially Slipknot(?). If you were not aware of any of the characters beforehand (as was the case for me), you wee entirely SOL. The character interactions were also dreadful, particularly when Killer Croc is involved. The dialogue was poor for everyone from beginning to end, but his was a special kind of horrible. I physically cringed every time he opened his reptile mouth. The other characters' dialogue were also bad, but not as bad. Captain Boomerang was also entirely useless. He throws boomerangs twice, but both fail. His little unicorn was far more enjoyable than him. This said, I am glad that only Deadshot and Harley Quinn got any attention at all, because the rest were horrific actors. They did not need any more lines to deliver poorly. The ending also leaves a lot to be desired. Though I loved June Moore, I wish they had not used Enchantress because this ludicrous, off-the-wall, and thoroughly unenjoyable ending is sadly impossible to avoid. I do not know how else to end it, so I wish they did not choose her as the villain. That said, the special effects regarding her were solid, though they felt like they were straight out of the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies. Finally, the movie just felt oddly ordered. There was no flow between scenes. Instead, they smashed into one another (much like in Batman v. Superman) where they barely related to one another. It was almost as if Ayer came up with some cool ideas for scenes, but had no idea how they related to the plot or what order to put them in. So, he shot them and figured the editors could somehow work miracles with the nonsense he shot. Unfortunately, editors are not miracle workers. Thus, for this, I do not blame editing. Unlike Batman v. Superman in which there was a good film desperately trying to come out only to be killed by Zack Snyder, there is no good film underneath Suicide Squad. Instead, there is only disappointment and David Ayer failing spectacularly at telling any kind of worthwhile story with this set of characters. This is very unfortunate, considering I was really hoping that Suicide Squad would be really good. Even after the reviews, I hoped I would like it. Yet, here we are. Though it may be enjoyable, Suicide Squad is a bloody mess.… Expand

Making this a PG-13 was Warner & DC's second greatest mistake. Tapping Ayer for both writing and directing seems to have been their first. This is the same style of schizophrenic nonsense that plagued Superman: DoJ, where the movie cannot decide what it is supposed to be. Even the music, characterization, and fight scenes are corrupted by the random thoughs that were slapped together, and tossed at the screen. The most disappointing thing about this entire fiasco, is that we quickly see they converted the so-called criminals into misunderstood people, leaving us with no badguys/gals in the entire Suicide Squad. By the end you will be wondering if Disney secretly took over Warner, and taught them the art of paint-by-numbers movies.

Largest disappointment since the other DC movies (even Killing Joke is better than this) of 2016.… Expand

In a world where audiences cannot get enough of superheroes, comics and geeking over the impossibly feverish fade of comic book hero’s adapted onto the big screen, DC Comics is trying to cash in on this highly lucrative cinematic craze byIn a world where audiences cannot get enough of superheroes, comics and geeking over the impossibly feverish fade of comic book hero’s adapted onto the big screen, DC Comics is trying to cash in on this highly lucrative cinematic craze by developing a feature length feature, and their competition to The Avengers with Suicide Squad. Yet, if we really look at the bigger picture of Suicide Squad, one can easily see some stark differences, for example; none of the characters are really superheroes but villains; none of the characters presented are really recognizable names, with the exception of The Joker (who isn’t even a member of the squad in the film) and Harley Quinn (who is destined to become a household character by the end of this film, with the help of Margot Robbie of course), and, if not most importantly, assembling a team together, including cast and crew, that couldn’t be more, disassembled.

Quite frankly, Suicide Squad is a complete disaster and mess of a film. The writing of the film is so incoherent, it makes the objective of the team and the audience really question as to why they are doing it altogether. The direction of the film feels forced and almost lacking any artistic creativeness by David Ayer and more-so of a forced studio film shoved down the artistic team’s throat, and, the story is just convoluted, discombobulated and weak. Ayer, who was on my radar of becoming one of my fav directors, blending, almost effortlessly, the use of action with real-world comedy, thanks to the near-perfect End of Watch, **** the bed on this one.

With such star power, including the uncompromising Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, and the once attached Tom Hardy, you would think Suicide Squad was a film with some massive potential to wreck box-office havoc at the end of a very disappointing 2016. Yet, the film itself is a very sad excuse for a summer blockbuster, insulting its audience with any sort of artistic and cinematic credit.

While the narrative of the story has been told before, like seriously, almost exactly like the narrative in the first Avengers. Just to refresh, here is it; A loved one of one of the team members (Thor’s brother’s Loki in the Avengers and Nick Flag’s (Joe Kinnaman) girlfriend June Moone, also know by her villain name Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) in this one, wreck havoc on a city, a team gathers to save the city (New York City in the Avengers, Gotham in this film). Coming out of the gates, the film does not have much street credit.

Suicide Squad was easily one of the most anticipated and exciting movies of summer sixteen. The trailer, which features one of the best bands ever assembled singing one of the best musical arrangements ever created, was easily one hell of a ride to watch. Unfortunately, some of the best parts of the film were featured in the trailer, which took away and ruined the film overall, or, the music just brought the best in the footage. After all, its pretty hard not enjoying watching anything while listening to the angelic voice of Freddie Mercury.

While the movie did feature the likes of Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, the sadistic mastermind behind the formation of the Suicide Squad, in a compelling and completely engaging role as a devilish, heartless and soulless women, who takes her job WAY too seriously, the only real redemption the movie has is Will Smith and Margot Robbie, and I mention those named quite carefully. Notice how I didn’t say Deadshot and Harley Quinn, the characters these actors are playing. Smith, who is an excellent actor whom audiences love whole-heartedly, did not play an interpretation of the almost obscure comic book character. Smith, in turn, essentially just plays himself, in a film adaptation where he must kick ass, save the world and give the occasional motivational speech. Its hard not to like Will Smith in anything really (we will completely ignore After Earth), hence why much of the good criticism will come from him, but people will quickly forget that Will Smith is a likeable guy, but did he give a spot on, target approve depiction of a DC comic book baddie, heck no.

With Margot Robbie, one of the hottest and most attractive Hollywood actresses working today, its hard not to like her in anything, especially when for the duration of the film, she is featured in very sexy short-shorts and ripped nylons, as well as while the camera takes the liberty of shooting her from behind most of the time. Geeks and fanboys, compose yourself!… Expand

Characters are introduced left and right, some even half-way through the film. And 'characters' would be a generous term, as none of them have any to speak of.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gotta say this film had the best marketing campaign of any film ever. No one can forget how hyped up this film was. But hype can be detriment if the film can't meet expectations. This film certainly didn't. Suicide Squad starts out OK then crashes and burns. I really wanted to like this movie but it was just impossible. There was no character development at all, the CGI was freakin terrible, the editing sucked, the main villain had potential to be awesome but they didn't use her at all, and it was super predictable. I did like some of the characters. Margot Robbie was good as Harley Quinn, Will Smith was such a likable character as Deadshot, Jai Courtney did the impossible and was good in a movie, and Jared Leto was easily the best part of this movie. He killed it as joker but there is one complaint I have with his character, he's in it for like twenty minutes. Every time he was about to do something that you wanted to see the scene just ends. Joel Kinnaman was fine but his character had really corny lines at times, El Diablo was alright, I didn't really like Killer Croc,I really wanted to like Enchantress but the way they used her was pretty boring and the movie just felt incomplete. Batman is in it for a little bit in the very beginning and it made me think to myself during the final battle "where the hell is batman during all of this?" The movie doesn't take place in gotham but we saw he has a jet in B v S. There were so many plot holes and the ending of the movie is so rushed and half assed. Suicide Squad wasn't just a disappointing movie but it's a bad movie.… Expand

You're allowed to love it. Can't we all just get along? Now with that out of the way, time to trigger people who are super easily offendable by not liking their movie.

Where do I begin? Suicide Squad is an absolute mess. From start to finish, it's awful. I'm mad I forgot to bring my bottle of drain cleaner to the cinema so I could wash the pain away. Everything from the characters, to the pacing, even the awful choice in music combine to create a **** like I had never seen before on the big screen- I genuinely think this might be the worst film I've ever seen in a theater. I'll run down my points quickly only using examples from the first act to keep this as spoiler free as possible.

The Characters: For this let's go back to screenwriting 101. In crazy superhero movies like this it usually helps the audience to be able to follow someone from start to finish. Let's make up a name for that person. Let's call them "the protagonist." That's a good name I think. The protagonist helps guide the audience through the story. Usually the protagonist changes, develops, and grows as characters- this is called an arc.

Let's, for humor's sake (because the plot is so muddy it's very hard to pick out a true main character), say the protagonist of Suicide Squad is Deadshot. Deadshot starts the film as a hitman for hire who kills people with impeccable aim. He loves his daughter and would do anything for her- besides giving up being a hitman apparently. At the end of the movie Deadshot is a hitman who kills people with impeccable aim. He loves his daughter and would do anything for her- besides giving up being a hitman apparently. No that wasn't a copy/paste error, Deadshot has about as much of an arc as most of his shots- it's non-existent. He's pretty much the same character at both the beginning and end of the film.

"But Dan!" I hear you cry. "SS wasn't about Dadshot! It was about Harley Quinn!" Alright. Let's quickly analyze her then. Harley's whole purpose for being in Suicide Squad is to dispense AWFUL one-liners and to be as unnecessarily sexy/slutty as possible. That's all she does. She says things like, "now that's a killer app!" and contributes pretty much nothing else. You learn that she wishes her and Mr. J had a normal 2.5 kids, suburbia life- and that's pretty much it. Her character changes in almost no way throughout the film.

The Pacing: Suicide Squad had more pacing issues than a 68 year old's heart after a latte. This is because of the ABYSMAL editing done in this flick. It's atrocious. The only thing worse than the editing is the writing, but we'll get to that in a second. This film feels like it was edited by a 38 year old who wanted to prove he was still "hip" and "with it." I can't go into too much detail without spoiling anything- so I won't. But trust me, some of the choices made will make you want to scratch your head. And by scratch your head I mean "run face first into a wall."

The writing didn't help Suicide Squad's horrid pacing issues, it compounded them. The clunky dialogue would make even George Lucas go **** that's not how people talk to each other." Every time someone speaks, they're just giving exposition. The film speaks rather than show. It's dumb. And when they're not being walking exposition meat bags, the "characters' are trying to sound kool by saying some of the most cringe worthy one liners ever put into film- do I need to bring up the "killer app" line again?

The Music: Whoever did the soundtrack clearly was inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy and thought, "I need Queen in my movie too!" Hey dip****. That's not how that works. You can't just put Queen into your movie and expect everyone to love it. People loved the soundtrack for Guardians because it meant something to the characters and added to the overall story. Everything here feels VERY out of place; hell, half the scenes with the bootleg Guardians soundtrack playing feel like they weren't shot with the eventual music choices in mind. It blows.

On the whole, Suicide Squad is a mess, much like this review, probably. It's the kind of mess that has the potential to ruin DC's already tarnished reputation. Nothing worked for this movie and you honestly shouldn't waste your hard earned cash- go see something better like Star Trek.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suicide Squad had the potential to be an excellent entry to the new DC universe films, but it tries so desperately to be funny and quirky that it ends up being a cringe to watch.

The first mistake people have made with suicide squad is to compare Leto to Ledger. They are two very different Jokers. Although Ledger has been the least comic-book accurate at the time (yet still inherently perfect to Joker's character - and well represented), Leto's Joker now takes the cake.

The Joker. You didn't need screen time to determine the quality of the new Joker. Leto's performance was excellent and impressive, considering how badly and inaccurately his character was written.
The Joker is not a thug, never was. He doesn't wear bling and he surely would not act like a mob boss, hanging out in clubs. For everything he's always been, the Joker always set himself apart from common thugs without trying to. This is not the case here. Everything that he's represented as is a stereotypical thug, from the acts he performs to the idiotic design with his generic and lame tattoos. (don't believe me? Google "thug" and see for yourself).

We see a moment where he shock's Harley Quinzel's brain. Why? Harley didn't have to have her brain scrambled to become who she was, she was made by the Joker's brilliant insanity. This small little detail instantly removed any depth their relationship had by implying that Harley only sticks with him because he's physically damaged her brain, not psychologically influenced it.

Harley. Also known as, boobs and ass representative to keep little boys entertained and demean and cheapen the Harley character. There's nothing more to say than that.

Deadshot. Well, now here's the saving grace. The one character I was expecting to fail manages to pull us through. Sure there were some odd plot decisions, but essentially he was well represented and wasn't portrayed by an over-acting artist. Will Smith really shows how it's done and was lucky enough to have a well designed and written character.

Wait, there were others? Oh yes. We spend a long time getting an intro to the main characters and 10 seconds of an intro to characters that are meant to be forgotten. Slipknot? How was his death not more obvious? The "fire-y" latino. Oh yes, very smart, I see what you did there.
BvS was a great film and Ben Affleck is arguably one of the best Batman's we've seen, but considering how they've chosen to design and represent the villains I've lost a lot of hope for the new Batman franchise.

You can see that there was some inspiration taken from the excellent Assault on Arkham, but unfortunately they just couldn't create a movie near as good or with decent enough characters as that. The real suicide squad movie for any DC die-hard is Assault on Arkham, Suicide Squad is just a means to make the majority happy by giving them what they would expect.… Expand

Like most films of this caliber the trailers and promotion are better than the final product. Since the villains are heroes, the actual villains are corny and laughable.

Ultimately, I didn't feel like my time or money were wasted. But really, this film left me feeling sad. Sad that THIS is the Suicide Squad we got when the talent DC has compiled for this movie could have given us an actually good film. There are good pieces, even a fun moment or two, but the actual construction of this film is a complete mess.

I'll start with the good: Viola Davis is perfectly cast as Amadna Waller, Margot Robbie is the BEST part of this film as Harley Quinn, and Will Smith is...well, he's Will Smith. I'm even a fan of Jared Leto's Joker; a version that feels like the Joker without feeling like a ripoff of Hamil, Ledger, or Nicholson, though I do feel like including him here was a mistake (I'll get to that).

Most of the rest of the cast just isn't given enough to do. Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, and Adawale Akinnuoye-Agbaje all show promis as Captain Boomerang, El Diablo, and Killer Croc respectively, but they are sidelined for most of the film so we can get more time with Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg. Without wishing to belabour a point, Kinnaman sucks as Rick Flagg. Partially he just can't carry the role, but also the writing for Flagg is atrocious.

I wish this was the extent of the film's problems, but that only scratches the surface. The plot is a disjointed, jumbled mess. Some characters are given far too much time to their backstories (Harley) while others are introduced in a sentence or two (Katana) with no explanation for why they are here or what their motivations are. This isn't helped by the inclusion of the Joker scenes (I told you I'd talk about it) which add nothing to the film and only serve to make an already poorly plotted film worse. Seriously, the fact that the Joker, an entirely tangential player who never effects the plot outside of one scene (which is immediately undone), has more to do than Katana, Slipknot, Killer Croc, or Captain Boomerang (all members of the Suicide Squad) is ridiculous. A single scene from the clown at the end would have been sufficient. For what its worth, Batman also overstays his welcome, featuring heavily in both Deadshot and Harley's backstories when the film really doesn't need him there. These, combined with a clunky cameo by the Flash, makes me increasingly worried for WB's rushed attempts at a shared universe a la Marvel.

I haven't talked about the bad guys yet because there isn't much to say. Enchantress and Incubus are simply too forgettable to be of any note. Their mooks are just black blobs in human form - entirely uninteresting as enemies. Its a shame, because Enchantress seems like she could be an interesting villain when we first meet her, being used as a magic slave by Waller, but the film never commits to fleshing her out as a character and so she never moves past the one-note, "take over the world because magic" cliche.
On the subject of the mooks, here would be a good place to talk about the action scenes, which are generally uninteresting. The enemies are boring in their design, and the film actively avoids having the main characters with the most interesting styles actually use them. Heck, its even a plot point that the one with the coolest powerset (El Diablo) refuses to actually fight for most of the film. When we do see him let loose though, the cgi is too cheesey to take seriously.

And we haven't even gotten to the problems this film faces in character arcs and development. Harley is suddenly so attached to the squad because...? Deadshot likes Flagg because...? Flagg trusts the murderers and psychopaths around him enough to remove their leashes because...? The final act starts too early and drags on through too much boredom and unwieldy tonal shifts to be consistently entertaining. From the get go, every "twist" is painfully obvious or even outright explained before the twist actually comes. You will know immediately who will become the villain, who will die early to show that Waller doesn't mess around (hint: its the one who the movie forgets to introduce), who will sacrifice themselves heroically in the end, and who will ultimately turn out to be the "good guy" of the villainous squad.

Is this film an utter waste of time? If you like Harley Quinn or are ok with watching the movie for a handful of good scenes and largely sleeping for the rest of it, than go ahead. Like I said, there are enjoyable pieces. Just don't expect a good film, or even a coherent film.… Expand

Shallow story lines and characters that are not fleshed out in any way shape or form. If you are not brain dead or a complete fan boy, this movie is an atrocity.
