What an absolute waste of time. You are better off watching something else. There are only two things good about this movie, Will Smiths acting and Margot Robbie's looks. Everything else is pure drivel.

Now that I've seen it, I can see where they were coming from. Lots of plot holes, very little of the Joker when he was used in all of the promo stuff, and the extreme focus on Will Smith and Margo Robbie's characters to the point where everyone else was pushed to the side till they were conveniently needed, it made me upset that I had actually paid for this at the end of the day. One thing you can see pretty obviously is where the re-shoots started and ended. That's a very bad thing in my book as it gave the story some disjointed spots that felt extremely out of place. At the end of the day, it's another dud from the DC universe and it's getting very disheartening to see where things are going. This movie franchise doesn't seem to have a direction it wants to go during the movie itself. Just a bad way of trying to tie all the movies together for the Justice League coming next year. While Wonder Woman looks to be the best shot the universe has of finally giving us a decent movie, this one is a bore fest and should be skipped by all but the most dedicated of fans of the title characters.… Expand

I can't believe I am going to say this, I thought Batman vs. Superman was better than Suicide Squad. What the heck is wrong with DC that they keep turning out crappy movie after crappy movie. The plot is beyond ridiculous. The Suicide SquadI can't believe I am going to say this, I thought Batman vs. Superman was better than Suicide Squad. What the heck is wrong with DC that they keep turning out crappy movie after crappy movie. The plot is beyond ridiculous. The Suicide Squad doesn't go up against world ending magical gods. They do the job that no one else can do because it is down and dirty. I for for **** sake their skills are are bunch of melee weapons, one guy who is strong and has alligator skin (but is only 6 feet tall . . .), a couple guys who can shoot, and one guy who can manipulate fire. It is just the wrong story line for them. They spent a ton of money on the film. It looks good. Except for Killer Croc. Instead of a monstrous man, he is a normal sized dude with scaly skin. Just terrible. The Joker didn't do it for me either. Crazy prison tats and just psychotic. Harley Quinn was hot, but that was it. They made too big a deal of her. Overall the script was baffling and a complete misfire.… Expand

Suicide Squad is a bad film, but damn is it a lot of fun. 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, theSuicide Squad is a bad film, but damn is it a lot of fun. 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

That movie should be all about characters, Of Course it is hard to tell deep story of every character in that 2 hours movie( should be longer). But they could not nail anyone. Really, look even on joker which is really poorly played by Jared Leto. Leto is playing just thug freak, without any psychological playing.
Harley and DeadShot were OK, better than most of the crew. Main villain is most generic thing among comic book movies, without any clear motivation.

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

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

But really, this film left me feeling sad. Sad thatIt boggles my mind how anyone can see this film and think "that was a great movie". For the record, yes, there are fun parts. 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

No Spoilers... Just watched the movie and for me it can be summed up in one word. Dumb. There were some good elements but overall it felt really dumb. Probably because of the reshoots and choice in editing.

If you're a huge fan of DCNo Spoilers... Just watched the movie and for me it can be summed up in one word. Dumb. There were some good elements but overall it felt really dumb. Probably because of the reshoots and choice in editing.

If you're a huge fan of DC or just really dig on comic book movies then go see it. You most likely have already. However if your more a fan of good story telling over action and popcorn, or if you're seriously trying to decide where to spend your money I would recommend you save your money.

Without a doubt the best parts of the movie was the acting for the characters Deadshot, Harley Quin, and Amanda Waller. The effects were fine, the action was ok and over all I didn't find the movie boring the way X-men Apocalypse was.

The down side was the repetitive intro sequence, the characters they tossed in without any setup (Slipknot and Katana), overuse of flashback (and side flash) to keep the joker involved in a movie where he didn't really belong, and generally a movie that goes from zero (we're over here) to 60 (now we're over there) without taking any time to really develop a good story to place us there. There's plenty of other things to nit-pic but I'll refrain from spoilers.

My biggest hang up that I noticed during the entire run of the movie were all the moments where the movie tried to make me feel 'bad for' sympathetic towards these anti-heros. All the time I felt like someone was hammering me over the head with back story or motivations to try to make me like these murderers, gangsters, and thieves. I'd have rather they been despicable people but maybe give us an even more despicable adversary or event that makes us want to root for them.

Unlike a lot of other comic book movies that I could stand to rewatch multiple times, this is one of those that I would have to take a pass on that second time around.… Expand

Suicide Squad boasts has undeniably talented cast, but it's foolishly written characters, unoverwhelming direction and dissapointing end sinks it in company of DC's cinematographic universe's worst productions.

Suicide Squad is yet another downfall of the DC films since 'Batman v. Superman.' It has the potential to be something great, but it's treated by director who doesn't exactly know what he's doing. It's meaningless plot makes the film a gigantic mess and it almost felt like I was wasting two hours of my summer. In other words, this film has no purpose what so ever. There are only a few character that possess that characterization they need, but a few is not good enough. These are great comic-book characters with great backstories, they should've been treated with a lot of dedication and care. Like I said, the directional spot may have been the incorrect chose for the Suicide Squad.… Expand

I got about an hour or so into the movie and realized the experience was going downhill. My friend had fallen asleep and my patience was wearing thin. I had to get out of there.

Ike Barinholtz as the abusive guard is the best part of this movie.

The low point of this movie is when First Nation's actor Adam Beach (Slipknot) steps out of a car and decks a women. I think the intention was to make this character unlikable but FN men are stereotypically known to being abusive to women.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a definitely bad movie, but a total disappointment of my expectations. The subject was wonderful, the cast was great, it really had the potential to be an amazing movie, different from the other superhero-movies we hot this year. But it didn't. When they showed us the background of every single member of the squad (in a very lame way) but one, was it even possible not to guess that he was going to die first? That was way too predictable. The mood wasn't half as dark as it should have been and the antagonist was just another super-powerful, supernatural, super-boring being, when there are tons of more human and insane Batman villains who could have been way more interesting foes for the squad. And then there was Joker. Let's be honest, I liked Leto's Joker a lot, seriously, but why was he there for just two or three scenes? The movie would have gone on perfectly even if he wasn't there at all, they just put it in there to attract customers! That was very frustrating, especially after all the hype they created for him! If he had been the villain of the movie, the result would probably have been much, much better! Instead, this turned out to be the story of people bad, but not quite enough, forced to do serve the government by doing dirty, but not quite enough, missions, fighting a dangerous, but not quite enough, entity, in a dark, but not quite enough, mood, while behaving in a funny way, but either not quite enough or too much. It was like seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy stuck in a Nolan's Batman movie. Awkward and pathetic.… 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

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.

- The soundtrack

The Bad:
- The Enchantress
- The Joker aka Proud Member the Juggalo Fan Club
- CGI CRAPFEST
- The editing
- The dialogue (prepare to listen to repeated lines)
- Those tar/rock eyeball creatures (They reminded of those black globs a goo you fight off in the Where the Wild Things video game - Which is also a Warner Bros property.)
- Similar plot to Escape From New York (Get the bad to do work for the government, inject them with a poison/explosive to follow their orders, send them to some place to retrieve the heart from a leprechaun.(I made that last one up, but you get the idea.)
- The Indian and the Mexican might not make it out alive
- Phoned in cameos
- Not dark enough
- Not fun enough
- The Enchantress's dancing (very laughable)
- Boring set pieces ( city streets, a subway, a bar, an office building, and a sewer)

- Not enough unicorns
- Why not show off all of the characters intros?

The plot was fairly cliche, the acting lacked cohesion and the pace felt stuttered. Jared Leto, for me, was the highlight of the film for me, a genuinely new way of looking at the Joker. Like Dawn of Justice, i probably won't bother to pick up the home media version of this one.… Expand

Plot - Them going up against who are basically gods is just an awful choice. Their power and what they are able to do with those powers abruptly stop working when they meet their demise. You're expected to suspend more than reality but even your sense of fiction that the movie creates for you to believe the ending.
- Deadshot's background story is pretty good and Harley's is ok in some points.
- It seems like this joker actually loves harley, personally i like the version that uses her as more of a tool while she keeps crawling back with the sense that he actually does love her back. That said the joker scenes were at times cringeworthy and don't make any sense. It seemed as if the director had an image of a scene in mind (the knives circle part from the trailer) and forced his character to that point instead of having an over arching idea in mind. His actions seem absolutely nonsensical, to which you reply "BUT MR RANDOM REVIEWER HE'S THE JOKER" to which i reply the joker always has an end game. Why is he overly flashy and begging attention? why is he killing someone for no reason in public? why the hell does he drive a F&F 1 throw back lambo with purple underglow? Hell even "the batman" seems like a second thought to his love for harley... until a few scenes he just leaves her. While this is a lot about someone who wasn't the main focus of the movie he was on the forefront of marketing and had more than an end credits cameo. To say "he'll be fleshed out later" isn't a great point because this is what we have now and what we have to judge now is garbage tier.

Characters Good (sometimes) - Deadshot/harley... that's it. The characters suffer from the need of the movie to move along fast. It makes the out of no where comments from harley hit home early, but start to fall short quick when they become expected after the 10th time it happens.

Garbage - the rest of the cast especially Joel "i have one emotion" Kinneman and Cara "WHAT THE F%$& ARE YOU DOING" Delevingne. Oh honorable mention for Viola Davis who acted her script well but was written into being the actual worst person in the movie, one scene ruins the character and will have you scratching your head.

oh, also! who ever was wardrobe should never get a job again and why were scenes dark even in the day time?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is my first review ever. So lets start.First I gotta say that the main reason for me to go to the movies and watch this film is MARGOT ROBBIE. Second, Im not really a fan of superhero movies, though I know most of the comics, and all that stuff. And third, I Hate Will Smith as an actor. So, the beginning of the film was so damn awful edited, that, to me, it felt like I was watching an extended trailer, WTF???!!Ok we know that the most famous actors in this film were robbie, smith and leto, but man you gotta respect the other characters cuz they're in the squad aswell!!!So WTF with Killer croc!!??Cmon the guy doesnt even talk in the movie, all he tries to do is making roaring faces and walking with "bad behavior" like he is some kind of rapper, so stupid, so for me thats not convincing at all. I really liked The Boomerang guy, though he didnt do much either in the film, oohh thank GOD Tom hardy couldnt be in this film, he saved himself from this s**t!!Rick Flag is just a fuc*** imbecil and useless character. The japanese girl,.....WTF!!??she almost got no lines in the film...So whats with the indian lookalike guy that shows up in the middle of the film just to get killed by an APP!!!??When i watched the trailers I though that Joker would get big screen time, since he is Joker, I was lookin for to watch Jared leto performing the joker since, Heath Ledger did an AMAZING JOB at it, for me waaaay better than Nicholson. So when you hear in the news that Jared acting method was really drastic and sh****** and then you watch the movie and he is in it for like 4 min...what's that all about???So much hype about his commitment to the Joker and he barely appear in this film, what a trash!! I know he wanted to create a fresh Joker, but the result for me was s**^^%&$. Lets get quickly to Smith, so he plays the same character over and over again!!!The same face expressions!!His acting range is SO BASIC and POOR!!!Cara delevigne was so embarrasing acting like the witch ......The other villain also WTF!!?? I wonder why screenwriters put POWERFULL villans that destroy cities and when it comes to defeat the Squad, it all comes down to pushing,boxing and kicking,WTF!!!Thats so annoying and its an insult to the audience intelligence!!!why the villains doesnt use their ALL POWER SET and kill the Squad???Its basically gods against humans!!!whats the ability of Killer Croc???!!Ohh I know, just diving....and **** Margot was an 8/10 in performance, there were times that was a little bit stupid, but most of the film she was good, besides its so freshing for me, Ive never seen her play a character like this. The only reason i will get this film is because of Margot, god shes really hot!!!Its a shame, I really wanted to love this film but I couldnt, its full of cliches, specially in the fnal act. El Diablo was ok but the scene where he says ByE with flames in the air was so childish and dumb!!… Expand

Bad aspects:

- The Joker is a well loved and extremely difficult character to portray on screen. I noticed how much energy Leto has given to this character and it really shows off so I have to give him props for it. That being said, this film would be exactly the same if he didn't appear in it, there would be no noticeable difference to the plot. Which means that this character was a complete waste and has no business being in this film.

- Will Smith just plays himself during the entirety of this film and if you have watched any other Will Smith film you know what I am talking about. He just plays himself in every movie he's been in and it really is getting tedious at this point.

- Pacing: Suicide Squad is a little over 2 hours and it felt like I was already watching it for a full 2 hours halfway into the movie.

- Rick Flag portrayed by Joel Kinnaman was rather poorly by my taste. I didn’t buy the ‘can do anything soldier’ attitude and his acting was also mediocre at best. The romance between him and Cara Delevingne’s Enchantress was also way too forced and quite poorly portrayed. The pair had no chemistry between them and left much to be desired.

- Generic antagonist plot. The main villain is Enchantress played by Cara Delevingne who wants total world domination by turning every citizen into a generic monsteresque minion which can’t think for itself. That has never been done before.

Good aspects:

- Viola Davis as Amanda Waller offers a spot on portrayal of the character and is true to the comics. I was very pleased to see a portrayal that wasn’t complete bollocks, yes, I am referring to ‘Arrow’.

- El Diablo played by Jay Hernandez has a well thought out origin of why he is afraid to use his powers. But however it doesn’t explain how he got his powers. He was one of the better things the movie had to offer.

- Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn is a must see portrayal and it is honestly one of the few pillars that can barely keep the movie from falling into an abyss of awful. Her character keeps true to it’s source material and is an overall great performance.

So Suide Squad had major flaws that can not be overlooked but it also has some good elements. So my final verdict on this movie is that it was a complete waste of my time and money and I do not recommend it.… Expand

There's one catch though: This is seriously the most disappointing thing I've seen all year.
Let's begin with the trailers, which were tonally misleading, that excited everyone for this movie, including me. While watching the movie, it seems as if the studio was rushing to put this thing together. In fact, pretty much all the movie's problems can be linked to the hurried creation of this movie. I'll elaborate on the problems below.
The first 40 minutes is all exposition, but it is so clumsy, I could have sworn the movie should have started with the helicopter crashing. I would rather have scenes of the characters discussing their past and the time spent in maximum security rather than this extra long opening narration. The characters are near life-less with a tiny character arc that comes off as cliché more than anything else. I haven't even gotten to all the confusing plot points in this movie, but that's how poorly constructed it is.
Even with bits of humor, good acting, and some good action, one can only glimpse at the potential that this movie had to succeed. Everything went wrong way too fast, resulting in a sloppy mess that warrants a seal of expendability.… Expand

Its not a bad movie on its own- but with the hype and info surrounding the movie, and how big of a let down it was to so many people, I give it a failing score. Not even its gimmicky soundtrack could save it. Their use of songs like "Seven Nation Army" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" were poor attempts to capture the young audiences, which failed miserably.

When the first trailer dropped for Suicide Squad, it looked like DC were making their very own version of Guardians of the Galaxy, with a quippy band of thieves and killers being sent on a mission to defeat a world-destroying threat. This ledWhen the first trailer dropped for Suicide Squad, it looked like DC were making their very own version of Guardians of the Galaxy, with a quippy band of thieves and killers being sent on a mission to defeat a world-destroying threat. This led us to believe the movie would be as fun and enjoyable as Guardians. Unfortunately, we were wrong, as the finished product is the messiest, most inconsistent and poorly paced DCEU movie yet.

I’ll start with my two major issues with this movie, which are tone and pacing. The movie goes from being dark and gritty to being fun and colourful, and feels like two completely different versions of the same movie mashed into one. The first trailer was even a lot darker then the ones to come, with a more sinister feel, while the second and third trailers were bright, colourful, and more like Guardians of the Galaxy. So you can tell DC weren’t sure which to go for, so to please both audiences they crammed both versions into one, which was a huge mistake. And as for pacing, this movie tries to tell about five different stories at once, from the Joker-Harley dynamic to Deadshot’s relationship with his daughter to the Squad’s mission itself. The movie goes from randomly inserted flashbacks to over-the-top action sequences to pop-song montages, while also trying to introduce us to all the characters and what crimes they’ve committed and all their personal vendettas, and so on. For instance, the character of Katana has a sword that traps the souls pf her victims, and her husband is imprisoned in it because her enemies killed him with it. I mean, WTF?! That’s an entire movie worth of material Warner Bros. could have made, but instead crammed it into a movie alongside the Joker-Harley dynamic, Rick Flag’s romance with Enchantress, Deadshot’s vendetta with Batman, and so many more unnecessary side-stories. And if a movie is all over the place like that, I can’t enjoy it and it ruins the film-going experience for me. There are also too many conveniences in the plot, and details the studio gloss over, which just frustrates me even more.

And now, before I get into what I like about this movie, I just have to say a few words about Enchantress and the Joker. Enchantress can be grouped up with all those disposable Marvel villains in the sense that she is a forgettable, one-dimensional threat who can be disposed of after one movie. Cara Delevigne’s performance was awful, as she danced in front of a massive beam of energy shooting into the sky (seriously, how many times have we seen that in superhero movies?) with a ridiculous booming voice. And her brother was just the most one-dimensional, poorly rendered CGI monstrosity in recent memory. And as for the Joker, Jared Leto destroyed what the Joker stands for. Instead of wanting chaos and carnage, this Joker is all about bling and power. It didn’t help that he had nothing to do with the movie, and could have been cut out without effecting the movie at all. The fact that this is our Joker for the next many years makes me lose faith in DC.

But now that I’ve gotten the cons out of the way, may I just say that the only two things about this movie that make it watchable are Margot Robbie and Will Smith as Harley Quinn and Deadshot respectively. These characters were the only two DC bothered to flesh out, with the best performances and scenes. Viola Davis also did a good job as Amanda Waller, but she wasn’t in enough of the movie as I would have liked.

Suicide Squad is the worst movie in the DCEU to date, with a mostly forgettable cast of characters, an inconsistent tone and an even worse structure than Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.… Expand

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

Start with a script that was a rushed in, record those scenes without much good insight over whether those scenes will serve well to the movie's potential success, add awful CGI in, edit the film (who knows how it was at this point), release a trailer that does not match the tone of the film, reshoot scenes to fit the tone of the trailer, add more (possibly worse) awful CGI, and re-edit the film through a trailer house (a TRAILER HOUSE), make two possibly very different versions of a movie, mush those two versions with two different tones, and finally, release the film, which at this point, somehow sounds implausible.

It really sucks; this movie could have been awesome. Instead, it's a small portion of what makes a good movie (three tenths, to be exact :P).… Expand

El joker de esta pelicula es un personaje secundario, un mafioso de poca monta, no se puede conectar con el, no hay empatia, no tiene objetivos no tiene nada, salvo dinero y que joyas.
Ahora de cuando aqui Harley Queen empezo a ser protagonista, Harley es una sidekick, ni siquiera le importa al Joker, sexo es lo unico que vende, no pudieron ponerla mas ligera de ropa, por que las delanteras de la señora no aguantan, aunque preferencia personal el mejor traje de Harley es el del DLC de batman arkham knight y la personalidad de harley es vacia es superficial, cuando que se sabe que harley tiene es mas un desorden de personalidad con abandono paterno,deberia actuar como la niña de papa y aqui es como que la novia.
Escasamente las actuaciones de will smith y otros personajes masculinos hacen aguantable la pelicula, cocodrilo se queda corto la verdad, literalmente el original es gigante y mucho mas aterrador, mucho mas animal, y de cuando aqui necesita la aprobacion de alguien, el cast de mujeres definitivamente deja mucho que desear y practicamente de todas.

As this movie feels like one giant distraction, this movie is perfect for you if you need to get your mind off the fact that (A) Your wife is cheating on you, or (B) Your aforementioned step child is getting bullied at school, or (C) Your wife is cheating on you with your son’s bully.

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

The Suicide Squad Album also benefits from major tracks, some definitely in the perfect tone for the movie but also others that don't fit at all.

First of all there is something truly repelling about charcters in general: I found the Joker awful (I mean obviously not in the right 'awful way'), Batman looks so old and tired (plus he doesn't appear on screen more than 10 minutes, post-credit scene included), Harley Quinn is depicted in one of the most irritating way in addition to constantly be over-sexualized, Killer Croc is ridiculously thin and unimpressive despite the amamzing effect of the texture of his face and skin. However I don't get why he is licking himself and some objects from time to time. Seems to be that way in order to make him more repellent.

What is the most undeniable is the incredible lack of quality of 'Suicide Squad': the pace is really bad, the humour is as silly, lame and uneffective as dialogues, the scenario is unstructured, characters are all stereotyped, there are numerous unbearable cringy moments, many inconsistencies and the movie becomes incomprehensibly emotional as you get closer to the unforgettably predictable end. Despite these flaws I also can't deny the interesting flashbacks from Harley and Deadshot, an interesting artistic direction.… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just dumb.

Sometimes dumb can be fun – and parts of this movie are fun, but most of it is stupid and irritating.

The premise is completely flawed. Firstly, they are supposed to be the “worst of the worst” – but Deadshot is just not that nasty, he is just Will Smith. Captain Boomerang is just an Australian thug. They are more comical than menacing.
Secondly, the team is formed to deal with a Superman-level threat … really? A psycho-girl with a baseball bat? A man who can climb? A man who throws boomerangs? Even Deadshot’s bullets or Diablo’s flames would not give Superman a second’s pause.
(And some of them have already been dealt with by other meta-humans – so how are they a credible threat?)

So, from the off, this flawed premise bugged me throughout the movie & caused me to pick holes.

Yes, Harley Quinn is entertaining – but mostly because Robbie is so cute. Some of her lines are funny, but equally some are forced and predictable.
Will Smith is likeable in his role, but that’s kind of the problem.

The Joker is not menacing enough – he is creepy, but about as scary as Marilyn Manson. He is an irritating poser.

Flagg is wet and awful, Boomerang a joke, Katana a cardboard stereotype.

Diablo has some pathos, but it is clumsily handled.

Really, none of the characters have time to develop. They just change from supposedly bad guys to heroes without any convincing progression involved.

The plot is a mess. Whenever it starts to get going, it cuts away to another flashback or a scene intended to show the characters bonding – but it doesn’t work. It merely interrupts the flow. And when we do get to the Ghostbusters-style climax, it is unengaging. Too much CGI. A depressingly inevitability about how it will pan out.

We know Diablo will join the fight.
We know Harley is not really selling-out to Enchantress – it is never believable for a moment (especially when there is a meaningful shot of Katana’s sword).
Everything thing is telegraphed and drawn-out.

So, it was more fun than BvS – but in its own way, just as bad. No logic, poorly plotted, unconvincing characters and motivations. Just a bit funnier.

Does any of this matter? It’s just a superhero movie.
Yes, it does matter! We know great superhero movies can be made.
We know some can be fun, yet coherent.
We know others can be serious – and coherent.
So why can’t Warner Bros achieve this?

So, I’m afraid after “Man of Steel”, “Batman vs Superman” and now “Suicide Squad” I am well and truly done with DC.
(“Legends of Tomorrow” really didn’t help either!)… Expand

Wow, I watched this pure steamer right till the end, and I didnt get anything for it! No indurance prize, no recognition, I just sat blank faced wondering how WB manage to release such a crock of ship without anyone really saying at anypointWow, I watched this pure steamer right till the end, and I didnt get anything for it! No indurance prize, no recognition, I just sat blank faced wondering how WB manage to release such a crock of ship without anyone really saying at anypoint in production "hangon, are we not making a terrible movie?" or "Surely the audience won't swallow this hack of a film after enduring BatmanVSSuperman would they?"

There's an undertone in the set up of this film of propoganda. The less than subtle approach of America to say "Hey, we can use terrorists to defend our country" whilst America is funding Saudi war on Yemen, funding terrorists they were fighting against in Afghanastan, and funding ISIS in Syria vs Assad.

Sorry - I don't mean to get political, but the obvious propaganda is strong in this one… Expand

What a crappy production work, all the scenes cut on the wrong moment and the wrong order, the main plot didn't make much sense, they picked great songs are used it horrible wrong.
The neon graffity thing ended up being out of place becauseWhat a crappy production work, all the scenes cut on the wrong moment and the wrong order, the main plot didn't make much sense, they picked great songs are used it horrible wrong.
The neon graffity thing ended up being out of place because only appeared at the beggining, like if it were part of another film or added in the middle of the production, personally wouldn't use it in a movie but would look great on a video game.

Most of the characters were underdeveloped because lack of "participation" and the ones that got time were not even close of the animated version, the writing was avarage but of the time was plain bad and hard to care about.

The actors did a respetable job nothing to complain but the material didn't give them much to work with. Except Cara Delevingne, she shouldn't keep acting.

I'm giving a extra point because the credit scene was awesome.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, why was it bad?

Poor structure / story: To be honest, I don't think there even was a structure to this movie. After a rushed and choppy introduction to each of the characters, a bunch of stuff just happens for them to fight. The story is non-existent. There's no central character to follow, or even a decent villain to understand/appreciate their motives. To sum up, it seems like they changed/re-edited the film AFTER they made it. Everything is so choppy and poorly edited, that you can't help but feel large chunks of it have been left out. Undoubtedly, this is not the movie that they started with.

Forgettable action: Okay, so the plot isn't very good. But as a comic book film, the action can salvage this, right? Wrong. It's not that the action is bad. It's just that there's nothing memorable about it. Batman vs Superman had the amazing first battle (followed up by the amazing Martha Kent rescue by Batman), and Civil War had the incredible airport fight. Suicide Squad has NOTHING. It tries very hard to create one meaningful/impactful sequence with Deadshot, but it is soooo underwhelming that you begin to feel sorry for them.

Joker: If you have high hopes for the amazing Jared Leto and the iconic Joker character that's contributed to most of the movie's hype, then prepare for an epic let-down. Firstly, he barely even features throughout the two hours. And secondly his introduction and the few scenes involving him, are so rushed and pointless in the grand-scheme of whatever the plot is. Again, when they edited this, Jared Leto's Joker became somewhat of an afterthought. There was no real insight into him, no progression, and quite frankly, you quickly lose any interest in him because his role is so meaningless. It's remarkable how badly they got this wrong!

Uninteresting characters: Harley Quinn quickly grows tiresome with her dittzy/crazy demeanour. If you've caught all of the trailers and promotional material beforehand, then you've already seen her best bits. The croc dude is pointless and just growls. The fire guy has a sympathetic backstory but offers very little. Jai Courtney is quite funny as the Australian bloke. And although Though I was cynical going in, Will Smith as Deadshot was surprisingly good (so props for that).

There are many other things wrong which, at this moment, I don't have the energy to put down. And as a viewer it's becoming increasingly frustrating to not get a good stand-alone comic book movie anymore. The producers are so franchise-focused that they concentrate more on setting up future instalments, than just making a good movie.… Expand

Margot Robbie gives a nuanced character performance. Nothing else about this scrapheap of a film is worth your time or your dollar.

Terrible film with little purpose or intention to even respect the source material. Suicide Squad is a classic example of how to make an unwatchable movie. The few positives from this film are the strong acting performances across the boardTerrible film with little purpose or intention to even respect the source material. Suicide Squad is a classic example of how to make an unwatchable movie. The few positives from this film are the strong acting performances across the board and a few misguided attempts at humor that gets a smile. It has a relatively decent first act and a few classic comic book shots, but overall does not save the movie from its diabolical existence. Everything from dialogue, pacing, plot, cinematography, action, internal logic, CGI, soundtrack and lighting are complete garbage. There is no attempt to make a coherent story and is only entertaining for a simple minded arsewipe. The movie can be better served as a torture tool in Guantanamo than any reason for its existence.… Expand
