In addition to the title change that may be better or worse, as you can see, the thing that touches me the most, speaking of course, is the **** character characterization crap. Where the **** has seen a hipster joker, with **** tattoos and he looks like he just came out of a **** sturbucks instead of Arkham. Not to mention that today has revealed the appearance that will have Harley Quinzel, and is anything but a harlequin. She is painted as a horny nurse substitute, so her hammer / bat does not even glue. Also the high is already the damn design of the car of the joker, nothing more and nothing less than a **** PINK lamborghini . The directors surely thought that a character that in their personality does not care about what material the best they could do was to put a **** LAMBO! To conclude a conclusion; Do not follow the comics, the characters do not have the personality or the original look, etc ... so the movie is a **** ****… Expand

So, so, so bad. This has absolutely nothing to recommend it at all. Actually no.....I'll give it a 1 for Jai Courtney who against all odds is rather likeable. Truly one of the worst movies ever made.

An overwhelming amount of iconic pop songs are shoved in your face to make the movie’s uninspired fight scenes seem more exciting than they really are. This is all really a shame though, as a fantastic cast is laid to waste, having to muster up the energy to make dialogue, entirely comprised of cheesy one liners, work. 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. Suck on that Rotten Tomatoes petitioners.… Expand

Over-the-top corny action film that relies too heavily on CGI. Weak plot with poor dialogue. A movie to avoid even for fans of the genre.

The acting is oddly enough the best part of this movie. But everything else just makes no sense.

The perfect way to explain this is that the first 43 minutes of the movie is just a character introduction.. And at the end of that 43 minutes, I still don't care about a single person in this movie.....… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A film that relies on pure action and a good soundtrack only became popular because of the DC characters featured in this joke of a movie. The movie fails to make me care about the characters, even with backstories, the attempt of making me feel bad for the villains and making them all appear to be "good" dulled down the tone for me. Character casting and costume/makeup were the shining stars of this film and made the trip to the theaters somewhat worth it. I noticed many unnecessary parts of this film especially the inclusion of The Joker who added nothing but filler to this film. The main "villain" of this film was so forgettable that all I truly remember of her is how she looked, I felt no need to root for either side in the battles. A pointless movie for the plot of DC and only happened because of Superman's "death" in Batman vs Superman. A dead-end movie that only worsens DC's name and makes viewers feel embarrassed as they walk out of the theater. I feel truly sorry for anyone who was introduced to DC through this movie and I hope DC forgets about this failed attempt.… Expand

I'll get this straight - I didn't know what Suicide Squad was before this movie came. When it first came out I thought it was just another action movie. But later I got to know that Joker will also be in it then I realised it's a DC movie.I'll get this straight - I didn't know what Suicide Squad was before this movie came. When it first came out I thought it was just another action movie. But later I got to know that Joker will also be in it then I realised it's a DC movie. And not just any other DC movie, it's a follow-up to Batman v Superman. I watched this movie only to see Joker, and guess what? It's the only thing I didn't get to see. Then I watched it a second time after getting my facts clear. And guess what? I still didn't like it.

I thought Suicide Squad is supposed to be something I'm too immature to understand about, but then I saw Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, an episode from Season 2 in Arrow where the Suicide Squad is shown, and the trailers of both The Suicide Squad and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Turns out it's an excellent story, which got completely butchered thanks to studio meddling and poor character design.

The characters are straight up awful. Only Harley Quinn and Deadshot were good, and that's saying something because in reality Killer Croc is my favourite character out of them all. I hated Katana the most, since she seemed to have a plot armour and yet she didn't help in anything. Amanda Waller was absolutely hateable because of how she behaved. Amanda is supposed to be a jerk, yes. But she doesn't kill her own people. And Captain Boomerang. Oh my God, how they massacred my boy! The other characters like Rick Flag, I don't even know who they are, and the movie gave me no reason to care about them.

The villains, however, were awesome. I was rooting for them, because they looked and behaved way better. Even their henchmen were cool. I wanted them to beat up the Suicide Squad and show them their place. But sadly it's a generic good guys win and bad guys lose movie, so I had no other option but to deal with it.

Many people are saying that if The Ayer Cut is released this movie will become good. I want to ask them, do you think The Ayer Cut is something like The Snyder Cut? No, it will be more like Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition, with only added runtime to explain everything and give more runtime to Joker, but it won't change the director's original vision. That will still remain the same. I may care about the characters more, but the fact that Katana and Harley Quinn have a plot armour and that no one died except Captain Boomerang won't change.

Although I'm no expert, so I do want The Ayer Cut to release. I will watch it and then I may come back to change my review. But for now, it's gonna be a bad movie for me.… Expand

Suicide Squad fails to impress the audience with it's lazy script and dialogues. There really is no story behind this movie, apart from the good acting by Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Will Smith as Deadshot, this movie is a major let down.

Suicide Squad is a mess and a disappointment in pretty much every way imaginable.

The writing, directing and action all aren’t great, and it’s a real shame because the story and underlying concept are pretty good and the cast of this movie is phenomenal. This movie feels incredibly rushed as though it was done in a hurry in meet production deadlines and like it needed more work done on it to be complete. Most of the scenes are sloppy, choppy and awkward and lack the finesse they would need to help the movie flow smoothly and be enjoyable to watch. Many of them should’ve been done very differently, and to be honest this movie would’ve benefited from a total rethinking and reshooting. The movie tries to be “cool” at times via some lines in the script, but ends up giving off an immature vibe that begs for the script to be workshopped and edited. The actors do their best with what they’re given in this movie and actually do decent jobs with their characters, but it isn’t even close to enough to overcome all the flaws in this movie. The movie gives the characters backstories, an actually redeeming quality, so that we can have some context for who these characters are, but these stories don’t add much emotion or depth to the film and seem like they were thrown in there to help fill the runtime. This in turn takes away from the truly important parts of the movie and doesn’t allow for climatic moments, deep storytelling or emotional moments, which is ironic because this movie is called “Suicide Squad”. That name would suggest an inherently high stakes and emotional nature to the movie, and it doesn’t really live up to that. What we get is a movie that emphasizes shooting, explosions and slang and ignores the deep core ideas behind its premise. There are also a few scenes that are totally unnecessary and don’t do much for the movie. If you’re a teenage boy/girl who loves shooting games, talking in slang and doesn’t care about good storytelling, this is a great movie for you. However, if you’re someone looking to get a bit more out of a movie, you probably won’t enjoy this too much. But, if you’re interested in things to not do in a movie and mistakes you can make, I’d actually recommend you watch Suicide Squad as an educational experience. You can learn just as much from watching a bad movie as you can from a good one, so I’d take a look at Suicide Squad for tricks, tips, and don’t’s. Overall Suicide Squad feels like a hugely missed opportunity and remains today probably the worst DCEU film we’ve seen so far.… Expand

This movie is junk, messy, and grossly nonsensical.
There are no good and memorable scenes and you fall asleep in the middle of the movie.One-on-one characterizations are worse.
The only strengths of Margo Robbie are Will Smith and two Batman scenes.

It's not a film that you watch to relax. It doesn't care in the slightest about whether you're enjoying yourself, and it doesn't give a fig for your notions of entertainment or your mental well-being. If you just watch movies for fun, this isn't for you, and no amount of insistence on my part is going to change that. But if you're interested in the limits of the cinematic form – to see just how focused, how pure and how uncompromising in its vision a film can be – Suicide Squad is unmissable. If you take the time to get into Suicide Squad’s mindset, to begin to understand the twisted way in which it operates and taste the rewards behind its cruelest plot twists, this is one of the most thrilling, most fascinating and most completely absorbing experiences in cinema.… Expand
