SUICIDE SQUAD falls into the same category. Even though I liked both MoS and BvS, one could say that those 2 films tried too hard to please critics. The admirable thing about SUICIDE SQUAD is that it disregards the critics altogether, and makes it an entirely fan experience, for better or worse depending on who you ask.

The audience I saw it with was electrifying; it's, without a doubt, the most fun I've had all year since 'Deadpool' back in February. In my humble opinion, SUICIDE SQUAD is exactly what this lackluster summer movie season needed to spice things up.

Director David Ayer has his mark all over this; it's unlike any superhero movie I've ever seen. Sure, you have some of your typical superhero tropes, mostly in the 3rd act. But then you have the antithesis of what the genre entails, breaking just about every single rule and convention. This ain't good versus bad; this, my friends, is bad versus evil.

This movie is the living personification of its own characters: absolute, bat **** insanity! It's uneven, character motivations get a little wonky, and the story is a hot, sexy, mess. Word of advice? Double down on the comicbookiness of it all; it gets pretty weird. But within all the madness, I couldn't help myself guys... I kind of loved this movie. It's by no means perfect, but I also feel like critics are over exaggerating the film's faults.

I was never bored, not once. The film moves at a killer pace. There's quite a bit of exposition near the beginning, but after that the film kicks into high gear. Steven Prince's score, which was reminiscent of 'Pacific Rim' and the first 'Iron Man,' infused such infectious energy into the movie. The use of hit song after hit song got a bit overwhelming however, making the movie feel more like a music video at times.

Filmed mostly in my home of Toronto, this was quite the surreal experience; I have walked through those streets before, and I have stood in those subway stations before. I was even an extra in the film. Did I make the cut? Well, that's a whole other story... but I ain't mad.

I was genuinely shocked by how incredible Will Smith was in the role of Deadshot. Going in, I thought he'd be adequate but not too memorable. I was wrong; he is the best thing this movie has going for it. Scratch that. He comes real close to taking that title, but it's Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn that this movie will be long remembered for. She nails it. Absolutely nails it. Robbie is to Harley Quinn what RDJ is to Tony Stark: perfection.

Joel Kinnaman was another standout for me. While the writing for his character felt the most forced out of everyone, his actual performance sells it well and makes me feel for a character I could, otherwise, care less for.

The film is juggling a lot of characters, and that's never an easy task. Characters such as Killer Croc, Katana, and Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney was great?!) aren't given much backstory at all, but they were all given at least one great character moment: just one scene to make you fall in love with them. But if there's one obscure character that'll emerge as a fan favorite, it's definitely El Diablo. He's given an impactful backstory, an emotional character arc, and some kickass action sequences. In fact, most of the action in the film was executed well. But there wasn't that one moment, like the 'warehouse scene' we got in BvS, that made me go "holy ****".

if you ask me, Jared Leto had the toughest job of them all; he had to follow Heath Ledger's timeless performance as The Joker, which is an impossible feat. So, the best thing Leto could've done is something completely different; he should make it his own. Which is exactly what he did. Whenever he's on screen you can't help but be captivated by him. He's not in the movie all that much, but just enough to wet our appetites for this whole new incarnation of 'The Clown Prince of Crime,' while still honoring the name of the film. This is a Suicide Squad movie after all, not a Joker movie.

It's ironic that in a movie about bad guys the worst part turned out to be the villain itself. The 'evil' in bad versus evil, if you will. I would've preferred a different antagonist altogether as the one we got here was pretty forgettable. Without giving any spoilers, the whole 'brother' angle was by far the worst thing in this movie. That's all I will say.

People comparing this movie to last year's catastrophe 'Fantastic Four' need to drop whatever it is they're smoking. SUICIDE SQUAD has something that film didn't: personality. It has soul. There's a great deal of heart. The characters are dynamic. The team chemistry between all the actors was fantastic; even if you don't like the movie they're in, you'll still end up liking the Suicide Squad themselves.

Far from it. There were moments that made me cringe. But the sheer entertainment that this film delivers is well worth seeing.

Suicide Squad is not a complicated film. The story is very straight forward - it's not going to shock or surprise you at all. And the villain's portrayal and motivations are the weakest part of the film, unfortunately. However, as with most comic book movies, the focus is really on the "heroes". And the Squad delivers! Watching them interact was a delight. All of them have their moments to shine, though Deadshot and Harley grab the most screen time. And their performances were excellent.

The Joker was a great addition to the film. I thought Jared Leto and David Ayer did an amazing job coming up with a fresh way to bring this character to the screen. My only real complaint with him is that he didn't have a big enough presence to really shine. If he ever gets the chance to take center stage and play the main villain in a DC movie, I think he would be perfectly horrifying.

The film can be a bit skittish in places. It moves quickly through some sequences, and feels a little unfocused, but I believe this is intentional. I think the film is supposed to capture the unbalanced quality of its characters.

Overall, I can't recommend this film highly enough. It was so funny, and such a thrill to watch. But go expecting some things to be a little too ridiculous.

As a normal comic book fan i've always perceived villains to be not so bad and liked to root for them from time to time, this movie takes that idea and goes all in, I didn't like the fact that as the movie goes on they just become plain heroes and not villains they actually are.

Now for the actual movie it's enjoyable, there's not much to say, I don't care about the tiny details that they've might've got wrong because I simply didn't notice them, I enjoyed this movie as I thought I would, I don't know is it because I came in there with high expectations but I got what I wanted from this movie.

Margot Robbie was fantastic as I expected, Will Smith was hilarious and kept the movie funny, The Joker was obviously **** I mean he just doesn't look like the Joker or act like the Joker we know, but he wasn't as bad, simply because it's another take on the Joker. Cara Delevingne should've definitely been a more valuable character looking at that she's one of my favorite actresses and she's hot as **** In fact most of the other villains were pretty much here and there for the entirety of the movie, but it's really nothing less then I expected.

When you hire some of the best talents in the business, stick to their instincts and don't second guess them. What you have here is something that could have been one of the better superhero flick in recent memory, but bludgeoned to death by WB's intervention. The soundtrack? One of the best. The performances? Exemplary. Kudos to Robbie, Leto and Smith for giving their best A game. However, the higher ups got a bit jittery: it's too dark...it's not like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They a second cut without the director's intervention, and both parties compromise. The end result...starts of great, then jumped all over the place, with weird pacing and tonal inconsistencies. Nevertheless, you can see that the creative team gave it their best...and despite all the rubble, Suicide Squad squeaks through... Expand

I am not going to gush over Will Smith because I see this same character in most of Will's movies. I see Will Smith not Deadshot. I am still not sure how i felt about the Joker though. Jared Leto didn't do a bad job I just think there were somethings that took me out of his character. One STOP USING THE STUPID SMILE TATTOO ON THE BACK OF THE HAND! I was disappointed in Katana you could have removed her and it would not had been a loss. The worst part of the movie to me was really the villains and even that did not bug me that much. All in all it was fun and not a waste of money to me and it really does fit in to the build up of the Justice League. So a solid 8. Expand

Seriously what movie where the critics watching. I was expecting the worst after seeing those reviews, but when I walked out the cinema I was thoroughly entertained.
True enough, it's not a perfect movie. The criticism towards the tonal shifts, using too many pop songs, weak story and villain are certainly valid but overall the movie is definitly entertaining. But overall the movie worked.
Jared Leto's Joker works, Margot Robbie's Harley Quin works, even Will Smith - who I was worried about the most - actually turns in a pretty good Deathshot performance, not to.mention VIola Davis' Waller.
My only real complaints are that the task force X members turn out to be a bit too sympathetic in the end, at least for the psycho- and sociopathic supervillains they're supposed to be. And an R-rating probably could've worked better, seeing some of the cuts made.
This movie is way better than BvS which was a great disappointment to me (though not as terrible as the critics lead you to believe) and most MCU movies(people seem to forget half of those movies are decent at best..*cough*..*Thor the Darkworld*..*cough*). Definitely worth the admission price of a movie ticket.

I laughed a lot. And most of the action works pretty well.
Will Smith, Margo Robbie, Viola Davis and Jay Hernandez are STANDOUTS. I loved their performances as Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Amanda Waller and El Diablo, respectively.
The plot is not perfect. It has some weaknesses. and the villain is a bit uninspired. Which is unfortunate because his/her setup was thrilling.
Overall, what makes this film fly in my opinion are 1. The character. A unique and colorful mix of offbeat characters who are played exceptionally well by the actors playing them.
2. The humor. This movie is funny. Funnier than I expected.
3. The soundtrack. I loved the music.
4. The overall design. I wanted to see more of this world.
A definite recommend!

I suspect this is largely down to the meticulous character work of David Ayer (as well as some excellent performances from many of the stellar cast members) but what's so great about it is that you're genuinely engaged in the situations at play because of this.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The problem comes in the fact there just aren't enough 'situations' that play out at all. In fact, there's virtually no events or plot points to test these great characters, which in the end makes the movie feel somewhat thin at the centre.
VERDICT: This is my favourite DCEU effort yet simply because the characters really engage you and give the film life. Once you're there though, there's precious few events to hold onto.

The cast all have great chemistry and give fantastic performances, i was also very impressed with how funny the humor and back and forth banter. Jared Leto was very confronting and intense as the joker, and the action was well put together and most of all entertaining.
The films plot however is really muddled at times, a lot of this due to the sheer amount of footage that was so blatantly cut out of this movie. Some characters do not receive the amount of focus they deserved. The villain of the film (Of which i will not spoil) was extremely bland and had barely any screen time to have an impact. The film also had multiple strange and sloppily edited sequences.

All in all not a perfect film but entertaining and funny.

I was totally afraid of what the critics are saying and was very afraid when entered the hall but only after 1 hour, was like Critics are mad. From today onward i am not going to believe any critics until and unless i watch the movie first.

I will only mention what can be done better for the movie.

* Movie should have more introduction of Enchantress and her brother of what exactly are they.

* We are hearing that a lot of Joker part was cut, which they should not have. Jared Leto as Joker is great. Awesome.

* El Diablo :- How he turned into that giant monster when he was facing the Enchantress brother.

Everyone already knew that the Batman will be present in the movie, when they stated that movie will be made. And they nailed it. This aspect of batman is the one which we missed in the BvS. The smooth transition from Suicide Squad to Justice League is also nice.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WONDER WOMAN & JUSTICE LEAGUE.

It's not a masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's an action movie, expecting this to live up to some standard no superhero movie has achieved is like watching a Pixar movie and complaining there was no grand plot.

The movie has some cool moments - I especially liked the transformation of Enchantress - and funny moments with Harley involving herself in most of those. Harley and Deadshot which were both portrayed very well by both actors. I had my doubts about casting Smith for Deadshot, but he did an excellent job. And Margot Robbie was the perfect Harley Quinn, being a blend of both the cartoon and the comics in one.

My only gripe is where the team got mad at Flag when they read some top secret documents, as if that was somehow worse than getting sent on a suicide mission. Moreso that Katana would be mad as well, which makes little sense. Apart from that I enjoyed the movie, and would easily recommend it to anybody looking for some light entertainment.

Once again the critics have proved themselves to be out of touch and irrelevant as last night I watched one of the most fun movies in an age at the cinema and literally left the theatre grinning from ear to ear. I'm not a film critic but I believe I know movies and after trawling through some of the worst (written) reviews that I've ever read, I'm definitely confused.com. Late twenties Rotten Tomatoes score??? Not even anywhere close to representing the film I experienced.

Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto et al, absolutely nailed it and David Ayer's recent twitter post played out for me throughout the entire film... Zapata quote is my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life. ❤️ The soundtrack and original score are also both fantastic and the mid credits stinger is just the icing on the cake.

It IS a really good movie for younger audience but I wish they went back to the Dark Knight format where the movie was not only a money maker but also an amazing piece of art. Great job to everyone who participated in making absolutely the most out of what WB allowed them to do. If you guys didn't do like you did and instead went for "pretty good" I think the current critic score (40) would be a proper note. Expand

Como é essencial pra todo ser humano ter sua opinião própria não? Enfim, vi o mais novo título da DC que vem causando tumulto pela crítica (que caiu totalmente no meu conceito agora, a partir deste filme), o Suicide Squad (Esquadrão Suicida) e vamos lá. O filme não é ruim, mas uma vez eu uso meu argumento (não só meu pelo visto, que também é de um querido colega distante vulgo "Creissonino"), vocês estão acostumados ao PADRÃO MARVEL DE FILMES ("HURR DURR, SEU FANBOY DA DC", será mesmo? Apontar que há um padrão Marvel/Disney é ser fanboy da DC ou ser realista? Vai tirar mesmo o mérito dos outros filmes? Eu acho que não). O filme é bom, ele é divertido, as piadas rolam e acontecem da forma mais natural possível (dá até alegria de ver um tipo de humor que funciona, tô cansado do humor pastelão da Marvel), a ação é legal, alguns personagens se destacam muito bem, outros nem tanto (mas não por terem sido mal colocados, é justamente pra não ter que forçar um personagem que não cola, coisa que a Marvel adora empurrar), vi muitos falando que o enredo não é lá essas coisas, e pra que ser essas coisas? Gente, beleza que é o Esquadrão Suicida, e tem sim seus personagens com sua significância, mas pra que ter um enredo tão profundo pra uma equipe B da DC? (sim eu gosto deles, mas que eles são um esquadrão pequeno é mais do que fato). Um dos pontos mais altos do filme é a trilha sonora dele, as músicas funcionam bem e não deixam as cenas chatas e tediosas. A participação do Flash foi rápida porém muito importante pra gente saber que tipo de pegada o filme dele vai ter, e sim claro, a do Batman também (ele convive com os vilões na área dele, era mais que obrigatório ele ter qualquer interação com os mesmos). Vamos agora pro mais polêmico, eu acho, o Coringa. Como é que dá pra julgar um cara que mal tem 20 linhas e mal aparece no filme? Eu gostei da atuação dele, da caracterização, mas não dá pra falar que ele é um bom Coringa se ele mal participa de fato no filme. Então nesse ponto eu vou ter que concordar com uns, ele não era pra tá ali (mas ainda sim não dá pra julgar ele por inteiro).

* Eu dou nota 8, é um bom filme, com boa ação, com uma boa caracterização dos personagens (e vale lembrar que a Arlequina e o Coringa possuem uma abordagem diferente), acho que uns se desapontaram por criar hype demais em cima dele, e esqueceram que o Esquadrão Suicida não é um grupo "primário" da DC comics.

- Coisas que eu não gostei:

* O Killer Croc podia ser mais forte, não precisava atolar de CG ou coisa do tipo, mas fosse uma pessoa mais forte (bombada).
* Legal o El Diablo mas eu vejo que o Onda Térmica se encaixaria perfeitamente, mas eu acho que eles precisariam de um meta humano mesmo pro papel.
* O fato do Coringa estar lá pra não ter importância acabou ferrando a imagem dele.
* Não curti e nada aquele Capitão Bumerangue, o pessoal mal o que apareceu no crossover de Flash/Arrow mas até aquele ali é muito melhor.

- Considerações Finais:

* Karen Fukuhara, casa comigo (nova waifu).
* O 3D do filme é um 3D mesmo, toda o visual do filme é bem colorido (como proposto nos posters) e isso fica bem exposto na apresentação dos personagens
* O filme mostrou de fato que há o universo de filmes da DC, e conseguiu fazer isso muito melhor do que Batman VS Superman
E pra finalizar, já é o segundo filme da DC que a dita cuja crítica desce a lenha injustamente, eu acho que já é hora de todos se questionarem sobre isso não?

"Onde há fumaça, há fogo".

Abraços.

Understood that the film focus was the "Suicide Squad" not the Bats or Mr. J (Affleck and Leto nailed both roles btw.) Knowing this going in eliminates cameo expectations. Timeline was perfect following BvsS. The cast were great for each of their roles, they captured the spirit and essence of their comic characters. Looking forward to a sequel. The only reason not a 10, there was awkward slow down pacing in some scenes which seemed like some editing was over-sighted. The color in scenes were focused to the characters just as a comic which I thought was captured masterfully. It kept focus on characters both verbal and non-verbal communication. Integrating these characters to "live action" was done perfectly I thought in just one film, that had to be hard to do. The dynamics between Harley and Joker were intense excitement leaving you wanting more. The rage and sarcasm in Capt Boomerang was solid and fun; the intimidation and power was found in Killer Croc; the heated internal passion was in Diablo, Enchantress was dark and powerful, Col Flagg had realistic heroic presence, Katana was energetic and passionate; Quinn was sexy, fun, sadistic; Deadshot was a deadly assassin with something to lose (you usually do not ever see that combo and it was flawlessly executed.) I appreciate that the film was made for fans not theatrical professors. I am intrigued to see how all the characters develop in upcoming sequels and thought the cast was perfect. Will go see this movie again and purchase Blu-Ray upon release. Expand

This film has solidified (along with Batman Vs Superman) a great base for the DC cinematic universe.

A fun, fast paced, action packed, funny and sometimes a little sad film.

With so many characters the director/writer makes excellent use of their screen time and manages to fit in lots of back story in the first act that feels like you are watching a comic book come to life.

To those who say the "plot makes no sense" - you clearly were not paying attention, it's a very simple, fun plot with enough depth in places to make you wish all of these characters get their own movies.

Stay for the mid credits scene!

Lets start off with the characters, deadshot was pretty awesome, not just in action, but in character development. He was also really funny and probually one of the most relatable characters in the movie. Harly quinn was fantastic in this film. Not only does she have the feel and humour of the character from the comics, but she was had moments that really surprised me. The joker has serious potential for the little screen time he had if he's in the new batman solo film. Side characters are good, but some just don't get enough development. The story has it's flaws. Somtimes, it doesn't explain why the characters are here, and its plot is just a simple this person wants to take over the world plot, but at least they explained the plot in a pretty funny way. Speaking of funny this movies jokes are pretty funny, with it adding more fun to the dc cinematic universe. The action sequences are also entertaining to watch. And when it comes to character motivation, it's much better than batman vs superman. I feel as if why the characters are doing what there doing makes sense. Overall you may like it, you may not, but think you should definitely check it out to see what you think. Expand

Some of the "Jokes" didn't land perfectly for me, however, just like in real life, people often say what they would think is funny, and everyone will just look at them in awe of them saying something so predictable. I would expect a Suicide Squad movie to either be as good as this one, or better. The Writer/Director did a great job, and the Box Office/User reviews will confirm that. I hope they offer him a second installment. Lastly, if you Enjoyed Suicide Squad, check out "Batman: Assault on Arkham" DC Animated Feature. Its a "Suicide Squad Movie" but animated, and actually has more blood than the live action one. Expand

SUICIDE SQUAD

2/1/2 STARS OUT OF 4

Suicide squad is a perplexing film. Be it from lack of direction, or some could say overabundance of direction from the studio. Some could say there is a good movie hidden under the layers of bad.

What did work, was some character portrayals of characters. And that is where the movie shines the most, the whimsy and joy that Viola Davis, Margot Robbie and Will Smith bring to their respective characters of Amanda Waller, Harley Quinn and Deadshot, and to an extend Jared Leto (who really did not have much to do in the movie) as Joker, and surprisingly Jay Hernandez as Diablo.

Rest of the cast really did not have enough time or material to be developed properly. Killer Croc is just there to be menacing and growl(even though has two fun quips), Captain Boomerang is Jai Courtney (enough said) there is also another guy in a group? You're going to have to take my word of it because I am still wondering why he's there. Katana who is a somewhat obscure character is in the movie as well and also just not given a lot to do. This all brings me to Enchantress who is not that well known character from the comics. Her character is very interesting, and they should have focused on her backstory a bit more for everything just to seem well connected. Rick Flagg is the a leader of the rag-tag of villains and does fine job at it, however nothing in the script really allows him to have any meaningful breakout moments.

Where the movie fumbles a lot is in its execution of the plot and especially editing of that plot, which partially makes sense if the stories of multiple editors working on the film. This all culminates in the tonal disparity between parts of the film. It almost does not let the movie breathe, as at a point in the movie plot just one would say changes entire direction, and from that point on it is as if you are watching a different movie. And that would not be so much a problem if that change was not as jarring as it is. Main plot of the movie sort of just happens and you as a viewer are just along for the ride, not much is really explained, and fore mentioned characters of Harley, Deadshot, Diablo and Waller are what is keeping the movie from collapsing into itself completely.

Parts that I really really loved about the movie, other than those four characters which I cannot stress how fantastically were portrayed by their respective actors are small things in the movie.

Harley Quinn's backstory and flash backs with the joker (there is a scene that is going to smiles on lot of people's faces that have read the comics). Location of where the main battle is happening, which is a location well known throughout the DC universe. Cameos throughout the movie that are well placed and not too jarring.

All in all movie is far from being perfect or even great, however it is entertaining and well worth watching if not so much for plot then for the character portrayals of some of DC's most interesting and beloved characters.

Suicide Squad is far from the steaming pile of s**t some (most) critics would have you believe.

If you're looking for a silly, fun and albeit messy ride, Suicide should more than fit the bill. Will Smith turns in a solid performance as the worlds deadliest Assassin, Deadshot. We're given a deeper look into his life behind closed doors with the inclusion of his daughter to the story. I found Margot Robbie's acting to be quite cheesy in some parts of the film, it had me cringing quite a bit but for the most part she also delivers the goods. The other members of the squad aren't really fleshed out all that much but they bring a little to the table at least. El Diablo gets a humanising bit of back story but it was pretty needless and didn't really work for me. The member I was most surprised about was Captain Boomerang. I'm not a fan of Jai Courtney in the slightest but he's actually funny here, the funniest member of the ensemble.

Lastly, Jared Leto's Joker. Probably the aspect of the movie I'm most disappointed with. It's not his performance, it's rather lack of. The Joker has 10 minutes tops of screen time. There's little of substance to it and it feels separate from the actual plot of the movie. Taking the Joker out of the story would have little to no impact on anything that happens. However, this is a Joker I'm
definitely excited to see more of, Leto well and truly chewed the scenery every opportunity he got.

The editing of the film is downright bad. Totally haphazard and sloppy. I won't say anything more on that front, you'll see for yourself. The villain is also painfully generic and boring. Folks at Warner Bros. Reel it back it down on the CGI.

All in all, a fun movie that suffers from terrible editing and a lousy, CG crippled villain. 7/10

It's not perfect (most films aren't) but it will be enjoyable if your just looking for two hours of entertainment. Most of the characters are bearable. Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn (outside a couple of corny jokes), and Deadshot. But I think there was a forced energyless conflict which turned out to be a lot more anti-climatic than you think, but its a satisfying end. I'd check it out if your looking for a superhero movie different from any Marvel or DC movie for that matter. A LOT better than Batman v Superman (A LOT), and I liked it more than Man of Steel at least.
I hope there isn't a sequel tho, this works best as a standalone story.

Silly, Dark, epic and back again, it was a great watch I'd like to see again. Falling in love with characters like Croc and Boomerang was unexpected and watching [all of] their interactions change from silly and overly confident to deeply introspective and contemplative when the odds shifted was a ride.

A group of supervillains is promised time off their jailAfter so much hype, so many hopes, and so many talks about the casting and storyline, Suicide Squad is here, and it is fantastic......in parts. First of all, let's discuss the story. A group of supervillains is promised time off their jail sentences if they succeed in a mission deemed to dangerous for soldiers to do. It is nothing special and expect a few plot twists in DC movie fashion. This movie is full of big names, and most of them shine, notably Will Smith, Viola Davis and Margot Robbie. Will Smith's Deadshot is a fully fleshed out character, and not just your average hitman. It becomes evident in the first half that this is Smith's film to take.....until you see Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). She is probably the only character done without flaw in this movie, equal parts crazy and equal parts sexy. Other than that, Viola Davis does an amazing job as Amanda Waller, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo was fine, but he got a good amount of screen time and backstory for me to say that he was very well fleshed out. Enchantress also has a bit of backup story, and Cara is fine in her role. Everybody else, including Slipknot, Katana, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and Scott Eastwood's character, were basically left in the dust. I know you cannot cram in a lot of backstories in a single film, but a little something about them would help. They basically follow the Squad around and kill a few here and there, but even their wit and charm cannot save them from being overshadowed by the bigger names. Speaking of big names, let's talk about Jared Leto's Joker. And I have to say he does an amazing job, and I really enjoyed when he was on the screen......which is not that often. Leto has about 6 or 7 minutes of screen time and shows up mostly in flashbacks of Harley Quinn. A little disappointing for fans who want to see the movie exclusively for him. The film's tone changes gradually from a little happy here to deliciously evil, and that is what makes this a fresh change from usual comic book movies. David Ayer has a great vision, and he executes very well throughout. There are some beautiful scenes in the film, particularly Joker and Harley's ''Chemical Wedding" which was shot extremely well and is one of my favorite sequences from the entire film. Then you have the humor, which was also a top notch element to the movie. Really, this a comedy above all else, a fresher take from the usual DC films. This film is really fun to watch when sh*t hits the fan, the characters bond, there is a decent amount of dialogue between them, and they ultimately ACTUALLY become a legitimate "Squad". And that is why Suicide Squad excels in characters, not only they bond, but their weaknesses are why they are here. There is some choppy editing in parts and some scenes from the trailers never show up here. But, whatever was given to us, was a well acted, funny romp that takes advantage of the great characters in the DC Universe and never shies away from silliness. This is a GOOD movie, it may be flawed, and Joker may not shine here, but Suicide Squad is a silly, funny and jam-packed blockbuster. Do not miss it this weekend. Expand

We watched the "Suicide Squad". And I want more.

Yes, again, the critics trashed the film DC, Yes, the Director pressed the Studio, the editor wants to tear his hands and dialogues could be significantly better.

But, damn, do not be boring. From the mess of colors, characters and music shines with such charm that it is impossible not to admire. This is probably the best comic book movie of all time was released: the frames are to each other, one scene after another, and you feel like turning over the pages of a comic book like panels lining up in the story. Yes, this film is not for everyone. But unlike "Batman vs. Superman", which we still can't speak without shame, and is ready to discuss only drunk like a childhood trauma, this film clearly does not deserve much Haight. Margot Robbie pulls out into every scene, her Harley already included in the Golden Fund of legendary characters of mass culture, and damn the chemistry between her and the Joker is just incredible. This pair of pearl film, they fall in love in just a second and they want to see it again and again. Harley solo album, solo album the Joker, sitcom, musical, anything, but let us take a look at these two again. They are not just crazy, they are crazy, and repulsed the lovely couple comic book movie.

In short, you understand. Don't listen to anyone - definitely worth a go, at least in order to make your own opinion, will fall in love with gangsters on acid, and update your playlist.

Suicide Squad Spoiler Free Review:
Once again I have become dismayed with the majority of major film critics with the exception of Dan Jolin from Empire being the exception in this case with a fair review. Suicide Squad is a delight. It is the quintessential Dirty Dozen of superhero movies that nothing else; including from Marvel has quite matched yet. The plot is indeed a little bit thinner then Batman v Superman which is not a bad thing in this case. The movie revels in its characters and has fun with them. You can tell the director enjoys working with an ensemble cast which is no surprise coming from David Ayer of Fury and End of Watch. Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller are the key scene stealers in this film. I was surprised to see even some of the characters that I thought would get ignored did not, and had a big impact to include Jay Hernandez as El Diablo and Killer Croc. The main bad guys are not nearly as well fleshed out as the good bad guys in this case, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag has a hard time keeping up with Will Smith outclassing him, and while he plays the straight boy scout just fine it is hard to enjoy the character when so many others are fun. Now I come to Jared Leto as The Joker. Leto plays his joker with a modern gangster edge, but sprinkles in a little bit of classic 30's James Cagney from the public enemy. There is not enough Joker in this film to make a full determination or comparison to Ledger or Nicholson however, but enough to whet your appetite for the next Batman film. The movie is funny and has plenty of action to boot for the average moviegoer to enjoy without having to jump into comics to understand what is going on. Fans of DC Comics will appreciate the easter eggs, surprises, and post credits sequences. A lackluster villain and thin story aside; this is a funny and exciting film designed for you to enjoy the characters, cameraderie, and action while building on the existing DC Extended Universe.
9/10

Fun movie to watch. Harley and Deadshot were amazing. Amanda Waller, she just ooozed Jerk (which is what she is). Cpt Boomerang was good too.. the rest of the characters could have been utilized a bit better but overall a good movie

[Spoiler Alert] This is a very fun movie!!! There are some questionable editing choices, but overall the film is thoroughly enjoyable and different than most of the comic book movies out there.

Pros:
- Excellent casting choices. Love Jared Leto's Joker, and Margot Robbie's Harley, and the dynamic between the two of them. Have to see more of these 2 together in further DC Movies. Will Smith was bang on as Deadshot, Viola Davis makes a perfect Amanda Waller (is she the true villain? Hmmm). Rounding it out with Rick Flagg, Killer Croc, El Diablo and Katana.
- Soundtrack!!! Songs choices served to only enhance each scene and were perfectly chosen
- Humour! About time DC introduced some humour in their movies, and it works, without detracting from the serious tone with which underlie DC movies, and there are scenes that carry some emotional gravitas.
- Action! Hey what's a cb movie without great action scenes.

Cons:
- Weak villain. Another weak/underdeveloped villain in a cb movie is nothing new, but I'm hoping one of these movies give me a true villain worth contending with some time in the near future. Loki remains one of the top ones of course ;)
- Some of the suicide squad characters remained underdeveloped.
- Steven Price's score was phenomenal when it was heard. Thought it should have been used a bit more.

All in all, I left the theatre very satisfied and wanting see more of Suicide Squad in the future!!!!

"Suicide Squad" Is As Good As The Actions Of Its Antiheros

"Suicide Squad" Is As Good As The Actions Of Its Antiheros

"The world changed when Superman flew across the sky... and then it changed again when he didn't" says Waller at the beginning of the film. Based on the villains from DC comics created by John Ostrander and Len Wein in the early 80's; "Suicide Squad" (the most anticipated film of 2016) erects its story after the events witnessed in "Batman v Superman" (another of the most awaited of the year). Without the protection of Superman, USA is defenseless with respect to national security, therefore, Amanda Blake Waller ( Viola Davis) - high-ranking American government official and associated of the agency ARGUS - rethinks her project of national protection reforming ones few changes with the purpose of be accepted. Her project is entitled "Suicide Squad" and it constitute by highly dangerous criminals imprisoned in a high security prison. It is here where we know to Deadshot (Smith), Harley Quinn (Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Courtney), Killer Croc (Akinnuoye-Agbaje), El Diablo (Hernandez), Sliptknot (Beach). “You want to put our national security in the hands of witches, gang-bangers and crocodiles?” asks an official public directly to Waller. This, the only alternative of global salvation for attacking to Enchantress (Delevingne), a powerful witch of black magic that wishes to exterminate the human race with its granitic brother, Incubus.

The anomalous dissemination of the film has solidified the expectations of the whole world, the boys most evil and deranged of the planet as heroes, Suggestive? Of course, but as if it were another Hollywood product, so wonder is not relatively true. I am of those who do not see trailers, TV Spots, interviews or ads with products of such great magnitude like this one, so I attended to the movie theater with the naivete of a child small, without consent of its argument but predisposed to amaze me. However, I was also predisposed to bring me a bad taste due to critics reviews published yesterday that I accidentally saw, and the result was a mixture of both presentiments. "Suicide Squad" possessed potential and knew take advantage it during certain scenes with certain characters, nevertheless, an unintelligible script, untapped characters and an directing not appropiate for this kind of movies makes it a small step for the DCEU and not the leap to fame of a company that strives to predominate. They had the opportunity on their hands, but some villains snatched them shamelessly.

The comic fans/ cinephiles will receive pleasant delights from its screenwriter and director David Ayer, in addition to some cameos ("The Flash" & "Batman" portray to police officers imprisoning to villains, something not very useful for a generic development, except for the arrest of Quinn), the soul and costumes of the characters are chimeric and hilarious. Its soundtrack fits with delicateness and rebellion to the harmony of each scene; Eminem, Rhapsody and Skrillex offer a dark auditive landscape. Ayer also delights to the eye with comic fidelity, nevertheless, the double-edged of this strategy made less than more, basing on several comics, they omit some important information (about the Joker) complicating the creation of a rational and harmonious argument for the film. By the same token, the comical aspect was at the hands of the Harley Q - steals the scenes -, a black humor with Deadshot and crazy humor by the Joker. David Ayer feared to repeat the mistake of Znyder ("BvS") with "SQ", so, he decided to make the so known "re-shoots" for fill it of color and visual saturation, however, nor darkness nor the fluorescence has been of the pleasure of critics.

Disappointing was to see that Leto's much-vaunted Joker did not form part of the squad and also with all the advertising boom and anticipations did not reach the connection I expected, Yes, he is a worthy successor to Ledger but his scant projected story and his not so majestic appearances placed him in a third plane. More striking and shocking I find to Smith, who, as his character, never wasted a bullet and with Deadshot just dead on target, again. "SQ" also lacks of a villain worthy of presence, Delevingne does not convince and was a bad play establish her as the antagonist main, weak point of the script. Robbie is undoubtedly the protagonist of the film, her introduction, her dialogues, her hobbies and her psychotic and brazen way of being ridicule others male villains, Margot steals the credit and we look forward to her solo film with greed.

"Suicide Squad" is Harley Quinn, the Joker, Deadshot, specific scenes of the development and allegorical final scene. We need a sequel, with the same characters, but with a script more lucid and comprehensible, more progress around the other antiheros and a distinct focus, sorrowfully, our villains continue with the bad luck of DC and remain as an excellent summer blockbuster, 2016 has not turning back, but 2017 is coming ("WW" & "JL").

Loved Harley and Deadshot, liked Waller and Enchantress in her **** up form(not when she is all princessy), the rest where good, and i'm not quite sure where i stand on this Joker's iteration.

For me, the majority of issues are on the first 30 to 45 minutes of the film, but once it picks up you really enjoy the ride.

This does notBefore I start, let's be totally honest here and address the elephant in the room - while I LOVED it, I get that Suicide Squad isn't for everyone. I do however think that the negative response has been ridiculously overblown. This does not deserve to be the most hated film of the year by any means. I'm often bewildered by the negative hyperbole generated by film journalism these days.

Anyway, on to the review.

When the film started, I have to admit that I was unsure. The opening of the film is choppy, and almost put me off it completely. However, the awesome cameo appearance of a certain character around the 10-15 minute mark sucked me in, and from that point onwards I was along for the ride.

One thing I found myself surprised by is that things that many would cite as negatives actually contributed to my enjoyment of the film. Suicide Squad has a very unconventional structure, its pacing and layout can at times be completely insane - and for me this was actually a GOOD thing. Some have labelled these choices as incoherent rambling, I on the other hand praise David Ayer for having the guts to do something completely different from any comic book movie I've seen prior. Not only did I find the crazy nature of this film a refreshing break from the all-too-safe norm, but I find that it actually perfectly personified the subversive and insane style of some of the best comic books featuring these characters (check out Conner and Palmiotti's initial run of Harley Quinn or the recent reboot of Suicide Squad under DC's "Rebirth" brand to see what I mean).
Another fantastic factor of this film is the aesthetics. The pulpy and often deliberately garish art direction of Suicide Squad will inevitably turn some people away, but I for one loved it. It makes the film pop, and especially suits its characters.

On the subject of characters, that's where the biggest strengths of this film lie. The biggest standouts are Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Will Smith's Deadshot and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller. Margot Robbie is exactly as perfect a Harley as you'd expect her to be. She's stunning, adorable and insanely lethal. I'm a die hard fan of this character, and I can say with confidence that she is done justice. Keep your eye out for some stellar moments of fan service. Will Smith's Deadshot is cool as ice, but plays a large part in the unexpected injection of heart in this film. He's a blast to watch. Amanda Waller is played by Viola Davis to haunting perfection, she's the shady government operative responsible for the Squad's creation, and an intimidating lady you don't want to mess with. As Deadshot would say, she's "gangsta". Even the often hated Jai Courtney was hilarious as the cantankerous Captain Boomerang.

One of the best things about this film are the many cameos which give us a tantalising glimpse at the larger DC universe, and by far my favourite of these is Jared Leto's Joker. And yes, despite being a central figure in the film's marketing, he is just a cameo - but a damn great one. Leto's Joker has been the divisive topic of much controversy, but I'm on board with him. He's a different and contemporary but not necessarily new version of the character, and I can't wait to see where he goes from here.

Now before anyone trashes me for being a DC fanboy blinded by hype, let me talk about the film's negative aspects:

As mentioned earlier, I found the first 10 - 15 minutes of the film to be put together in a somewhat shoddy and off-putting manner.

Some of the editing choices in the film ranged from questionable to irritating. While I overall loved the insane and unconventional structure, there were a handful of moments scattered across the film where it didn't quite work, leading to the feeling that certain shots or scenes that should have been in the movie were missing.

One of the film's three main antagonists (yes, there are three) is severely undeveloped, and amounts to something pretty forgettable and lame.

There is an action scene shot completely in fog, and it's pretty difficult and a little frustrating to discern what's going on.

These flaws exist, and the movie is far from perfect. But unlike the flaws of the previous film in this franchise "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", these flaws do not cripple the film when it is looked at as a sum of its parts.

Summary:
Suicide Squad is a radically different comic book movie to any of its predecessors, and despite what most have suggested, it's insanely sewn together brand of craziness actually serves the film rather than hurting it. If you are a comic book reader and/or love the characters, there's a good chance you will love this movie. If you're a more casual movie fan looking for a refreshing break from the all-too-safe norm, this subversively wacky ride might just be for you.

My final rating:
7.5/10
B+

Definitely worth watching.
The villain was good for their first mission, but not as great as I expected. Although, it fit well with the story that didn't need the JL characters or left you wondering how come the one of the JL members isn't handling this.

Suicide Squad is a fun simplistic comic book movie with a bunch of colorful characters. I think Will Smith, Viola Davis, and Margo Robbie steal the show. If you don't go into the movie thinking it's going to be a massive plot and tons of Joker scenes, then you should have a fun experience. Expand

Suicide Squad was really good. For the first 30 straight minutes I had the biggest smile on my face. It was a fun, geeky roller coaster ride.

It was a fun, geeky roller coaster ride. And I can also say that having read the original suicide squad comics, it was actually pretty faithful. I really liked it. I also think overall, its a more palatable movie for the masses, and will, (and should) be better received by fans and moviegoers than batman v superman was. The standouts for me was captain boomerang (who embodied everything that made me love him in the suicide squad comics), Harley Quinn (the role Margot Robbie was born to play, pitch perfect portrayal), Amanda waller (stone cold and ruthless, as she should be), and deadshot (while different from the Floyd Lawton of the comics, Will Smith owned it, and had great chemistry with the rest of the cast) Expand

Movie was awesome. Margot Robbie was fantastic as Harley. Will was good as Deadshot. Also, Jared Leto is my favorite Joker. He nailed it. Wish he was in more of the film. Critics just don't get these films. We want to be entertainedMovie was awesome. Margot Robbie was fantastic as Harley. Will was good as Deadshot. Also, Jared Leto is my favorite Joker. He nailed it. Wish he was in more of the film. Critics just don't get these films. We want to be entertained and I was. My entire family loved the film. Yes, there was lots of chaotic shooting and action sequences. However, I expect them in these types of movies. Expand

I don't understand the negativity. It was absolutely on par with what I expected and I loved every second of it. Is it a perfect movie? No. Are there some flaws?
