An irritating mess of a movie, with a plot that makes no sense, dull and pointless characters, and countless things that made me cringe more than anything else.

Suicide isn't bad, people just overhyped it. I went in looking at reviews, thinking it would be bad, i was wrong, so wrong. IT is actually a pretty decent movie.

All the haters are so butthurt about Suicide Squads Oscar win and Deadpool did not. Once again critics are just to in love with Marvel which in reality is just as flawed as DC. Because BVS and SS is not perfect and neither is MCU.

Leto's Joker is just pure brilliant...Yes I said it! But the main thing that steals the movie for me is the whooping soundtrack, which makes you feel like you are using iPod shuffle because the songs are random and that's what makes it excellent. Final verdict...Suicide Squad is one of my favorite films.… Expand

A team of the worlds most dangerous incarcerated super-villains, with the most powerful arsenal at the governments disposal, is sent off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic invincible entity.

This is without doubt one of the best movies of the year and certainly one of the best comic book movies along side Batman vs superman, DC have pulled out all the stops to create the most fun and most exciting on screen characters this year and suicide squad is perfect! The story as much as you care to pick at it is good fun from beginning to end, plenty of brilliant character building and background along with a blend of great action and comedy moments too, classic memorable dialogue, the cast is top notch all round, especially to note Will Smith as on top form, Margot Robbie is absolutely on top form and is a fantastic colourful and unforgettable Harley Quinn, and not forgetting the most perfect on screen Joker ever Jared Leto, I really hope this guy gets his own movie, even though he's not the main focus of suicide squad he still steals every scene he's in. The effects are cool, the soundtrack is quality and its just overall the perfect example of a fun comic book movie, I hope for a sequel for sure, be sure to check this movie out for something a bit more original than usual.

Of course, there are other actors/actresses who put out good performances in this movie as well (Cara Delevingne as June Moone/Enchantress, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, etc. and more actors featured in this film). The film shows how each character came to be who they were and there are even cameo appearances from some of the actors in the film(Common, Ben Affleck etc.) The film shows some of the characters achille heels such as how Will Smith’s Deadshot character was eventually captured and the pivotal moment when the Joker and Harley Quinn were captured. There are some love stories and an interesting mix of music thrown in for good measure (Heathens by Twenty One Pilots, a song by K7, Bohemian Rhapsody, etc.)… Expand

During my teenage years back in the 80's I collected John Ostrander's Suicide Squad title and absolutely loved it. It was always a given for me therefore that I would jump at the prospect of a movie based on my favourite title. I should also add that I fall into the category of those that loved Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice (the Ultimate Edition ranks amongst one of my all time favourite movies). This should give you an indication of where this review is heading!

Absolutely loved it! What do critics know eh?

You know the synopsis I'm guessing (if you're reading this review) - government official Amanda Waller assembles a group of the baddest incarcerated criminals to go up against the potential of a metahuman crisis should the 'next' Superman not share our values. This is deemed more relevant following the demise of the man of steel himself at the climax of Dawn Of Justice. Amongst those villains are Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), and Enchantress/Dr June Moone (Carla Delevigne). Heading up the group is Colonel Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), albeit reluctantly.

The story essentially revolves around Enchantress going rogue and converting a subway station in Midway City into a warzone as she resurrects her brother Incubus and the two attempt to destroy the world. The only criticism I have with the movie concerns the simplicity within which Enchantress 'turns' on the group shortly after it is her actions that cause the senate committee to approve the founding of Task Force X only a couple of scenes earlier in the movie. It just feels a bit rushed. It's also interesting to note that the events of the movie would never have taken place had Waller not established her little 'pet project' to begin with!

The dialogue is witty and sharp and the characters are highly likeable (despite them being arch-villains and - in some cases, murderers). Will Smith is the core of the group as Deadshot and his cold-bloodedness as an assassin is softened by the connection he has to his daughter (how the audience is expected no doubt to warm to him?). Joel Kinnaman's Rick Flagg is also key to the story's heart with his flawed relationship with Dr June Moone - Enchantress's alter ego. Margot Robbie is superb as Harley Quinn and a scene stealer in herself (not to mention the sex appeal she ozes!) although her rear steals equally as many scenes as she does!

What do I need to say about Jared Leto that hasn't been said before? You'll either love or hate his portrayal of Mr.J! Think more 'gangsta'.

Fantastic soundtrack, great action sequences - the DCEU is shaping up just nicely with this third entry!!… Expand

It's finally nice to see Harley Quinn make her movie debut and Margot Robbie did an amazing job portraying her. The relationship between her and the Joker was a bit odd as the movie was trying to be their "love story" and it didn't need to be like that.

I know the trailers made it look funny but these were all the funny moments. The action is terrible. We see the squad enter a city with crashed A10-Thunderbolt IIs and I have to wonder how awesome that must have been had we seen that movie instead. Actually, seeing serious military hardware littering a city like trash makes me wonder how the government expects a crazy woman with a baseball bat to make a difference. With the exception of a guy who can create fire, none of the squaddies do anything a trained soldier couldn't do. Even the fire guy could be replaced by a flame thrower. The enemies in this movie are made to be PG-13 friendly. They are all living statues that don't spew blood or show organs when the squaddies cut them half. This makes the fights incredibly boring. The final fight with the big boss is just silly. Somehow the boss is able to take out airplanes but can't hit a human when he or she ducks. The last fight with the true enemy looks like unfinished footage. Doesn't help that the setting looks like the ending of the original Ghostbusters. The worst of offense of this movie is giving the bad guys a heart. We have a team notoriously self centered criminals who easily turn on their partners and then expect them to bond and become good guys in two hours. The fun of having bad guys fight the good fight is that you can enjoy watching everything terrible happen to them because they kind of deserve it. It's like what Marv says in Sin City, "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad." For some dumb reason, Warner Bros. wants you to feel bad about what happens to the Suicide Squad.

One last note on the reviews. Critics hated this film and rightly so. Yet you see user scores above the 50% mark. This is a common occurrence of cognitive dissonance. Fans are excited about the film for over a year, they pay their good money to see on opening day, and then they give up 2.5 hours of their precious time to watch it. Rather than admit disappointment and feel bad, their brains concoct an alternate reality in which the movie is good. Critics don't have this problem because they see movies for free and they don't give a crap about DC's licensing efforts. If you really are a fan of these characters, you want a better movie for them.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Of course the movie was far from perfect, but what film is? The storyline to me was fairly straight forward, but all the actors brought their A+ game. Margot Robbie killed it as Harley Quinn, I love Margot Robbie's & Jared Leto's dynamic when they share the screen together. What of Jared Leto's Joker? I personally thought he was good, along the line of Mark Hamill's Joker. Elements of Brian Azzerello's & Lee Bermejo's Joker. Did he blow me away like Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight? Unfortunately, he didn't but to me that's due to him not having enough screen time to shine, but that's understandable, considering he's not apart of the Suicide Squad in the comics, only meant to be apart of Harley Quinn's story. Definitely has room to improve though & I love that duo though. Will Smith is Will Smith, he was great as Deadshot. Viola Davis from How to Get Away with Murder plays Amander Waller who's the one responsible for forming Task Force X, she nailed that role to the bone. I think the surprises, wild cards, were Joel Kinnaman's Rick Flag, Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang, & Jay Hernandez's Diablo, definitely. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's Killer Croc & Karen Fukuhara's Katana to me was cool but only served more as action set pieces. A lot of reviewers said Cara Delevingne didn't shine as Enchantress, I actually kind of liked her role more than expected. The movie was actually a little bit of a tear jerker, had some moments. Overall as I said, I did enjoyed it, it was actually a fun movie. I'd also like to point out that David Ayer did a great job of choosing the music for the movie, props to him, and the score by Steven Price was absolutely great too.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a mess. Decent performances by Will Smith and Margot Robbie fight against this chopped up train wreck. In the end it is passable entertainment but it certainly isn’t what was meant by the filmmakers. Way too many characters almost all of which are criminally underdeveloped. The so called bad guys actually never do anything worse than say the Avengers would which takes away from the entire premise. The tone is all over the place. This was clearly a different movie originally before a panicked DC Universe chopped it up trying to make it more Guardians of the Galaxy. The Joker is half in and half out and Jared Leto becomes a decent scapegoat for what went wrong, but substituting him halfway through for a 90’s villain that looks like he came out of a Street Fighter film is not an improvement.

The movie suffers from both attention deficit disorder as being a showcase for the crimes against show don’t tell. The movie tells us Rick Flag is in love with June Moone / Enchantress a silly device much of the plot rests on and yet Cara Delevingne and Joel Kinnaman have zero chemistry in their scenes together. Harley Quinn and Batman have a more convincing relationship in this movie, Watchable in a turn your mind off kind of way. Just don’t think what could or even should have been.… Expand

TheGo to see Suicide Squad they said. It will be fun they said. This movie was a mess. Summary: We are bad guys, but maybe we're misunderstood good guys, but the government is bad so to fight the common enemy we will team up, I guess.

The story telling was all over the map and the characters not very believable. The characters had no depth, they were not "complicated" they were confusing. This was a Sci-Fi channel movie with a larger budget. How was this fun? Will Smith just plays Will Smith, seen that million times. Jared Leto is a terrible Joker, I laughed at him, but not in the good way. Margot Robbie was ok. Not great, but ok.

I wanted this to be better, I really did. But please, have some respect for yourself and skip Suicide Squad.… Expand

The extended version should've just been released as normal but they have to charge extra for correcting their mistakes...and don't get me started on the soundtrack

In a movie industry filled with dozens of superhero movies competing to be the summer blockbuster, it is refreshing to finally get a movie about the villains. Although they do bad stuff, they are people with stories that deserve to be explored. But this movie was not some mediocre first attempt at exploring a villain’s story, it was a beautifully executed film about a whole cast of characters. This movie had a lot it was trying to balance in its fairly short 2 hour runtime. It had to develop a history for all of characters, start and resolve the conflict with Enchantress, while trying to balance elements of being both a drama and a comedy. Starting with character development, DC chooses to emphasize two of the villains, Deadshot and Harley. Harley Quinn is fully developed from how she meets the Joker, how they get separated because of “Batsy”, and how they get reunited later in the movie. An additional bonus is how hot Margot Robbie is as Harley Quinn. There is no shortage of sex appeal in this movie from Harley to Enchantress, to even Katana (can we take a moment to appreciate this win for diversity in Hollywood). Almost every frame is filled with some serious eye candy, not to mention the great shots of Harley throughout the movie. Deadshot is also well developed in this movie, with DC choosing to focus on his relationship with his daughter and uses it to explain why he does what he does (assassinate people). He wants to provide for his daughter in whatever way he can, but he also feels the regret of doing such villainous acts while trying to be a good example for his daughter. While these two characters are the main focus, everyone else has a rich history that is told throughout the story. For instance El Diablo who is scared to use his abilities to harm anyone. That is, until my favorite scene [MINOR SPOILER ALERT] a bar scene where all the characters feel disheartened and stop at a bar that is on their way to Enchantress. They sit and discuss what's on their mind; El Diablo explains his fear, and is liberated allowing him to get past his fear. This scene is an excellent way to develop all the characters and grow their bond. Captain Boomerang is another character who is just all around hilarious. From his recurring Pink Unicorn fetish joke to his constant failed attempts to hit on Katana, his comic relief gives me life. All this is not to mention the Batman and Flash cameos that are hype af. We can’t talk about the characters without talking about the soundtrack of this film. It is literally fantastic. Every pre-existing song that is used just fits with the scene so well. But where the soundtrack really shines is all the original songs recorded. Sucker for Pain is an absolute banger, Bohemian Rhapsody is haunting, and Heathens is actually Grammy nominated (https: // goo. gl / SRV0Sq). The plot is great as we watch this dysfunctional team of misfits grow together. It is filled with great running jokes and funny one-liners. And the ending is great, when they stop Enchantress, while leaving June Moone alive for her husband, and they all go back to prison waiting for their next assignment, but Joker comes to break Harley out. Suicide Squad 2 honestly can not come fast enough. I am waiting on the edge of my seat for where this wiley crew will go next.… Expand

It's not a masterpiece, nor is it intended to be.

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.… Expand

The Deadshot and Flagg story arcs were a total unemotional snooze fest..... Deadshot wants to be a good father but is a hitman who dresses like a 70s pimp when not geared up and when he does get geared up, doesn't wear the mask 90% of the film because "Will Smith needs face time". Then you have Flagg who is played by Kinnaman, an actor who doesn't have the skillset to show off "emotional sadness" and confuses it with constipation... Was the Joker in this film? Oh yeah, talk about a waste of a character. Great work Leto, you turned the Joker into a 5ht grader wearing braces. Glad to see the Firework guy from Joe Dirt got a cameo in which he shows off his skillset. The longer the movie went on, the more bored I became. Warner Bros. needs to hurry up and find talented script writers, not just big names going forward. If the script was halfway good, the cast would get **** on less, but nope, another boring, rush to market job by WB.… Expand

And to top it all - I actually enjoyed Leto's Joker in the cinema but watching at home he was actually making me feel physically ill. Just an awful, awful performance.

It's nothing against DC, but overall I'm starting to think the todays cinema is getting crowded with the lots of superheroes. Just like any pollution or the over population on the earth's surface. It needs stability, but nobody cares about it other than money making agenda. I also think it's going to last for only a few more years, when this trend going to end like that happened in the 70s, 80s and the 90s. And the space travel era to begin which is already kick- started. So DC or Marvel and others, they should be careful, for far they could take their products.

Like the title say, it's not just about the film characters, the film itself a suicidal. I'm not saying the film was unnecessary, but the plot was dragged too much. There are too many pauses, or you can call time wasting moments. I could not take another blowing up city concept. And that swirling thing in the sky, I don't know how long they are going to use it in the superhero films. I did not like the supernatural concept which is supposed to be a pure science fiction action adventure. At least Thor was from another planet, more like he's an alien, but the witch in this film, ruined my appetite.

The actors were not bad and so the graphics, including the stunt sequences. The story was very familiar. It was more or less, same as the animated flick 'Monsters vs Aliens'. It can be watched for entertainment purpose, the majority won't say it's their favourite or one of the best of the year. But surely there are people who would love it. It was a massive box office hit and I don't see any hurdle for its sequel, but all I hope is it to get better in the follow-up. So finally, it's not a bad film or boring, but it just did not have the midas touch that all the superhero films had. That means a watchable film, only for once.

We all know the history of Suicide Squad’s production. Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) went through meticulous preparation for his role as the Joker, including mailing a live rat to his onscreen girlfriend, Margot Robbie (The Wolf of WallWe all know the history of Suicide Squad’s production. Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) went through meticulous preparation for his role as the Joker, including mailing a live rat to his onscreen girlfriend, Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street). Women all over were cosplaying as Harley Quinn months before this film even was completed. A group of fans formed a petition to shut down RottenTomatoes after critics gave it a 35% rating only three days before its release. So now, it’s time to ask: was it worth all the hubabaloo?

Essentially, in this first ever villain ensemble picture, these imprisoned denizens of the law are temporarily released from their cells for a top secret mission. The government is already worried of another Superman coming to earth, so they have no other options besides rely on these metahumans to stop a typical extra-dimensional villain from creating yet another doomsday over the world. If they succeed, they get ten years off their prison sentence. If they fail, they die.

The result is an edgier version of Guardians of the Galaxy, except without the fun, fascinating imagery, impressive CGI, or anything else that makes this stand out as its own entity. Like any other action movie these days, it resorts to constant close-up motion sickness in all the action scenes, overusing noisy colors and upbeat pop music to add flavor. The entire first forty minutes is a meticulous bore to manage through, as it overuses backstory exposition and flashback on every single character. And yes, I do mean every single one. Anyways, after this torturous, lengthy intro, the movie finally gets started with the villains gearing up for their mission under the supervision of the CIA. It’s a pretty wild ride if you are an expert at keeping track of ten different subplots from one-dimensional characters fighting for the audience’s attention.

The team is not full of the biggest failures known to mankind, but they’re not going to be remembered within an hour after the first meeting. From what I remembered, there was a masked Japanese warrior named Katana (Karen Fukuhara) whose husband is trapped in her sword. There was also an offensive Australian stereotype named Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) who exists for no reason besides comic relief. Then there was Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), who does next to nothing memorable besides being rolled in a restraining harness like Hannibal Lecter. Then there was the skeleton-tatted El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), who stands out with his surprisingly tragic backstory. Then there was the governmental supervisor of the squad (Viola Davis) who likes to control them as their god.

The squad does have a couple of redeeming members who want something out of their mission. El Diablo is certainly one, but the rogue gunman Deadshot (Will Smith) makes one of the film’s greater impressions. Now, it’s not to say that Will Smith was any good in the role, because he honestly does exactly the same routine as all his 90’s roles. Even his character’s backstory feels clichéd to Smith’s type of character. He has a daughter, you see, and she does not approve of his murderous lifestyle. She even puts her own life at risk to stop her father from killing anyone else. It feels pretty sweet, but haven’t we seen this before?

Now as for Jared Leto’s highly anticipated performance as the Joker, I hate to break it to you: he let me down. With all we have heard about what he did to prepare for his role to make it his own, the crew barely gives him any useful material to work off of. The closest thing to disturbing he gets to is laughing like a pedophile inside a circle of knives.

Everyone thought he would be the best part of the movie, but you know what was the best part? Not the Joker, but the Joker’s lil’ monster. Margot Robbie is both deliciously seductive and delightfully psychotic as Harley Quinn, balancing that behavior with a girly innocence to generate a believable romance with the clown prince of crime. She has the only flashbacks that I was okay with seeing, particularly one where she willfully jumps into a vat of chemicals for a twisted make-out session with her beau. Sure, she may have been a bit too sexualized for what her character called for, but I would have much preferred her to be the sole main character than to have five different leads.

We’ve never seen anything quite like this movie, and I’m sure this will not be the last supervillain ensemble picture. I’m sure that the crimes that Suicide Squad has committed on storytelling will not remain in the public’s memories, but I already presume a long and successful screen career for the fresh Margot Robbie.… Expand

Now the big question is, is it any good? Well, overallMan, I don't think that I've been more pumped for a film since Star Wars Episode VII. Most of the marketing for Suicide Squad has been extremely good and has kept me pumped since 2015. Now the big question is, is it any good? Well, overall it's enjoyable, but it does not exceed expectations in many ways. I really hoped that this film would make up for the disappointing and very flawed film Batman V Superman, and all though it is better than it, it didn't prove to me that the DCEU is trying it's absolute best. Now before I get into the negatives about the film, I'm going to talk about the pros about this film. First or all let me get this out of the way, Jared Leto as the Joker was absolutely great. I loved his performance he wasn't trying to copy Heath Ledger or Nicholson he was his own unique gangster, mob Joker that really caught my interest. Now this does lead me into one con that I will talk about towards the end of this review. Deadshot and Harley Quinn, my gosh were probably the best characters in the film. I loved seeing these two on screen they were portrayed perfectly especially Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Diablo, Captain Boomerang, and Rick Flag were also great characters. Killer Croc, Katana, and Slipknot were on and off characters to me, sometimes they had fine moments and sometimes they didn't. Amanda Waller I believe would've been a great character if she didn't make some certain choices in the film that honestly made no sense or were never explained. Now the action in the film was pretty fun for the most part. I liked the fighting I like the flashback character origin stories that all happen at the beginning of the film which are by far the most entertaining aspects of the film. I also liked how there was a lot of really funny humor in the film as well which was definitely a plus. The films first two acts are pretty entertaining for the most part I enjoyed them. Oh Yah, Batman killed it once again in the film like he did in BVS. Now that I've got most of the Pros out of the way it's time to get into the negatives of the film. This films editing honestly was pretty bad. I know the film had to do last minute film shootings and editing and I think that might have made the film take a turn for the worst. The film is pretty fast paced which may seem like a good thing, but it really wasn't cause the editing was so choppy that there was no breathing time for me to process what was happening on screen. The editing sometimes really confused and took me out of this film. Also, the soundtrack is a great soundtrack but most of the music interjected into the film was so loud and so out of place that it distracted me from many scenes, one in particular which I will not spoil which contains the Joker that really threw me off. Also another con is the main finale battle of the film was extremely terrible. It almost reminded me of the ending of the new Fantastic Four, it was obviously not as bad but it was extremely lazily made. Also there is so much scenes that felt like they were missing from the film that the plot became extremely confusing and stupid at times and almost made no sense at all which really told me that the people working on the plot of the film did a poor job. There's also some over- dubbing for the voices of the characters that you can tell were voice-overs which really took me out of the film one in particular with the Joker that almost made me laugh cause it was so badly dubbed. Also, no spoilers of course Enchantress and the villain of this film were done very poorly. Enchantress was a fine character at the beginning but slowly morphed into a cheesy character and the villain was so cliché and lame which really bugged me. Some of the line delivery in this film was sometimes extremely out of place and truly cringe- worthy even though the majority of the film does have decent dialogue. Its just that some of the poorly done dialogue probably had to due with the factor of the editing that made it seem poorly done. And a huge disappointing factor of the film is that the Joker is barely even in the film. He's literally interjected into 30 second mini scenes throughout the entire runtime of the film. My final flaw with this film is the emotional levels they try to present in this film. There is so many scenes in this movie that try to be emotional and try to touch your heart when really it just comes out as either confusing or extremely messy. I do enjoy how they tried to bring heart into this film, but some of it was done very strangely, and not in a positive way for sure. Overall though I think if you go into this film with an open mind knowing that this film is going to be an average fun blockbuster film you really will enjoy it. If you're going to go into it thinking its going to be the DC film that saves the DCEU and "Oh this is going to be a awesome film," you will most likely hate this film. To me this film is overall a disappointment but it is still a somewhat enjoyable. Suicide Squad is a film with an extreme amount of editing problems and flaws, but it has just enough action and likable characters that it can be enjoyed as an okay, summer blockbuster popcorn-flick. Overall Grade: C Metascore Score: 5.5/10… Expand

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

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

While some characters are given too much development leading to little consequences for the plot itself (evident fan service), others are barely developed at all and become nothing more than situational props. The story is overall tolerable, but suffers from too much unneeded exposition and bits of scenes which seem to simply kick it forward, instead of logically unfurling the general idea. For example, we see Waller's introduction for the first time in full feature, yet she goes on with her SS program "just in time" for a candidate to villain role to manifest itself. You have one of your employees possessed by an ancient which - what would you expect? Really... Then, the bit where Flag just recaps his whole scene, which in itself is understandable, but just so tedious to sit through, and seemingly comes as a big shock for the team (not like you guys didn't expect to have what you ended up having before credits anyway) killing all the intrigue. If that was a twist, I frankly expected better. Then, there's the Joker/Harley "relationship"... Harley is the only one to get full cutscenes in the movie (not Joker, Harley!) and all they amount to is their petty adventures of "loves me/loves me not". I mean, if you spend so much time showing it to us, then maybe you could bother writing some REAL LIFE relationship and have them live it for a moment. What makes Joker drop the act and go through love like a law of nature (for an individual of chaos)? Nothing? He just goes with it? Hm okay, either that isn't the Joker, or the writers just need him to be more cruel in scenes where he has to, and more loveboy in the others. One way or another, I just don't get it.
Why I rate it 6 out of 10? First, neat idea. It really could've worked, and, after the awfulness of silly seen in Deadpool, those guys had a chance. The ground for superhero/socializing satire genre is still new, and all the inspirational material is just laid there... but no, they didn't matter. Second, good performances completely overshadowed by the rupture of the plot. A father/daughter relationship which starts with Deadshot's daughter begging him not to kill people, and ends with her discussing all the details of a hitman's routine. Um, what? Waller's life at stake and the peril she put half of Midway City through ending up with her making more demands? Double what?!? There thinks COULD be overlooked were they either better written or scarce, but no, they're all over the place there. In all, that's aggravating on the general experience and tension release via musical score only trivializes the proper key elements which should've been highlighted more.
Would I recommend watching it to hardcore fans? Heck no. Would an average Joe enjoy the flick? Hell yeah... after a couple of whisky shots.… Expand

It's not a terrible movie, but it's not a great movie, either. There's a lot to like here, but like so many of the bad comic book movies, there's way too much going on. And when dumb stuff happens, you try not to think about it, just go with the flow.

And as is typical of DC movies of late, there's too much of a rushed plot. None of these characters yet exist in the DC movie universe, so there's no appreciation of them. But we get the typical DC rushed backstory. That's great if you're a fan of the comics and you're already invested in these characters; I suspect most viewers will not be.

It's hard not to make the Marvel/DC comparision. But DC isn't really learning why Marvel is making great movies. Marvel is building a universe. They are taking their time when they draw rich characters, and they don't bury them in character-heavy movies -- that is, until you've gotten to know each of them personally.

Back to this movie. Very first problem I had with it -- about 20 mins in, I'm asking myself, "Why are they building a bad guy team when there's no threat?" Building a dysfunctional superpower team seems like it should be a Hail Mary pass, and not the first string players.

I liked each of the villains (except Captain Boomerang, who's just ridiculous here). It would have been great if DC had taken their time, and done a Deadshot standalone movie first. Maybe a Harley Quinn/Joker movie (there were certainly enough flashback scenes that a basic story was coming through).

Again, decent popcorn flick if you love the genre. If you're tired of comic book movies, it's a skip.… Expand

Jared Leto's version of one of the most iconic villians in history..is just hilarious. Not in a good way. He was way too calm for this role, and his acting was one of the fakest i've ever seen. What i'm asking is - where were all the heroes during all that **** that was going on? Also - what is all this **** with samsung? So Deadshot can hit a fly with his gun, but can't take away a **** phone from a lady? Also whats up with all that rich and immortal Joker? How the hell he survived? Slipknot's death was also hilarious. Okay, enough. I liked it.… Expand

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

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

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

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

Fourth problem: Too much Will Smiff.

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

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

In fact, when I notice that something is being over hyped I try to stay away from the marketing because that's when people develop way high expectations and end up being disappointed at the end. In this case, Suicide Squad. Now, this movie is definitely not as bad as a lot of reviews would suggest. Personally, I thought it was fun. It kept me entertained throughout the whole movie but there was never really an awe inspiring moment aside from one scene with Deadshot involved. By the way, Will Smiths character is so good in this I recommend watching it just for him alone. This is one of those instances where the trailers look better then the movie actually is and even spoils most of the best parts about it. What this movie does right though is balance multiple characters very well. You got the crazy one, the serious but bad ass one who actually has some heart, the comic relief, the quiet but deadly one, the secret weapon, and the beast. They all get their time to shine some more than others. Unfortunately the Joker is not in it as much as I would have liked him to be because I like this new take on him by Jared Leto. But, I must give some props to the director because he had to develop all of these characters in one movie unlike other franchises where the characters got their own movies first before they teamed up. It definitely wasn't an easy thing to do and I gotta admit he pulled it off pretty well. It could have been a disaster. The banter between characters is great, the costumes are good. There is action but it could have been better in my opinion. The plot isn't very original but it carries a great soundtrack throughout and the villains motive was very generic. Amanda Waller was fantastic though. This is one of those rare movies where a lot of people die and it's dark and gritty but at the same time has humor but it's OK because these guys are bad guys. This movie would have been much better if it were Rated R. But, I want a sequel to be done on a smaller scale with a less powerful villain. An idea that would really interest me is if they all had to go up against Batman but from their point of view. And they could portray Batman as this really menacing character that's actually scary and almost supernatural because you don't get to see how he plans his attacks or what gadgets he uses. They would have a goal but he would stop them in their tracks and they could rough him up somewhere down the line but he would come out victorious in the end. Sort of like when the bad guy wins in the end of a movie but in this case it's the good guy who wins but from the bad guys point of view. That would be awesome. Anyway, I would recommend seeing this movie with some good friends over some beers at least once. Or at the very least catch it on Blue Ray when it comes out.… Expand

Character development was average apart from Harley Quinn and Deadshot. The action was decent and character interaction was good, keeping the film afloat but parts of the dialogue felt either too cringey or out of place. There was not enough of our favourite Batman villain nor did he have too much impact. Cameos by the Bat himself and The Flash were welcome though. A few plot holes didn't help the story and I felt that certain scenes were either underdeveloped or too long and unnecessary. Suicide Squad holds its own as a superhero movie but just barely. It lacks the dramatic tension of Batman v Superman or the choreography of Man of Steel but is definitely enough to moderately entertain the audience. I feel that this is the first (and hopefully only) DCEU film to be sub-par. In terms of characters, it felt as if Batman's cameo had more emotion that certain members of the squad. When it came to the climax, it felt really oddly cut and the dialogue used was really out of place/ uneven. Although it lacks the epic scale of the other films, Suicide Squad is not without its charm. Margot Robbie and Will Smith do excellent performances and the way the react with other characters is greatly entertaining. Although much of the film feels uneven in a way, it still entertains.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suicide Squad gives a fresh take on classic characters and takes minor characters (El Diablo) and makes them key parts of the story. Despite a predictable third act and certain characters not being as crucial as expected ,or effecting the plot in any way,it still entertains. Every member of the cast from Margot Robbie to Jay Hernandez plays their character perfectly and despite peoples views of Jared Letos Joker his clown prince of crime is certainly memorable. Portraying the Joker as a ruthless "gangsta" is controversial but unique and, with a more central part, could be a worthy villain. The films only downfall is its story that fails to engage in the later parts and fails to provide any reason for Joker to be there. However this is overshadowed by comic accurate portrayals of the majority of characters and a colour palette that respects its heritage aswell as gritty and grounded combat.
Overall well worth the time, Suicide Squad is funny and engaging and deserves all the praise given by this reviewer.… Expand

The best aspect of this film was Margot Robbie's depiction and overall performance of Harley quinn was very memorable, humorerss and physoctic which is heavily necessary when your performing this category of character. This is pure evidence that Robbie is expendable and is adapted to her character swiftly. Will smith provided a unexpected satisfactory perfomance of the merciless hitman Deadshot.

a questionable character in this film was the joker ( This is my own personal opinion),Jared Leto evidently gave a satisfactory depiction of the joker but the impression i received which i found disappointing was that Leto's joker was relatable to a organized crime boss(such as the mafia).Instead of typically being the frenzied madman that we all(im assuming 'all') know and love, we were provided an intimidating, intense joker. This entire statement is highly evident as The joker(IM NOT SPOILING) owns a strip club and has a loyal gang of henchman.
My entire statement could potentially be false as there is a highly irritating and popular flaw ..... Jared leto's deleted scenes( The flaw lies about the quantity of them!!!!!!!

The plot was very simplistic and disappointing. But the soundtrack was partly good.

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

Poor editing ruined this movie that tries its best to be fun.The jokes itself was funny but the film was not fun.The pace was too fast , the tone inconsistent.Even awesome acting and soundtrack could not save this movie.

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

The Joker (Jared Leto) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) scenes are perfect and some are straight from the comics. It's just unfortunate that some actors even at their best have such a weak plot to work with.

The villain is like something from a Mummy movie. While the heroes/villains feel out of place fighting her zombie like minions. Even Jai Courtney showing he can do more than play a stiff hero in Die Hard 5 or Terminator Genisys is wasted in this movie.
I mean the actors make a lot of effort to be entertaining and are in good form. They deserved better than shooting at supernatural creatures or in Harley's case hitting them with bats. Then drinking at a bar just because the script called for a scene where they all bond and learn about each other more.
When you finally get to hear Harley Quinn saying Mr. J. or Pudding on the big screen for the first time. The movie really deserved a better story than Suicide Squad: Zombie Hunters. They can skip the sequel and just give us hopefully Harley Quinn and Joker in a good Batman film together.
Speaking of Batman, Suicide Squad could have used more Batman with Joker as the villain. Which is what actually makes the animated film Batman: Assault on Gotham much superior to this film. You had Suicide Squad assembled to stop the Joker from detonating a bomb. With much more Batman as well. Now that's a live action Suicide Squad film I wish this was.… Expand

The soundtrack is awesome and the comic book-like aesthetic (especially at the beginning) is whimsical and fun. I enjoyed the actors' performances, especially those of Will Smith and Margot Robbie. I thought that Robbie acted out Harley Quinn's histrionic-esque personality very well and Smith, who I wasn't expecting much from, made for a pretty hard-core Deadshot. Despite what some may say, I found that I quite like Jared Leto's take on the Joker and his romance with Harley Quinn.… Expand

Awful movie, shows why movies these days do not compare to the likes of Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Pulp Fiction, Paul Blart Mall Cop and Harry Potter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6. plot: irrelevant

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

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

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

Not as great as the dceu's two previous masterpieces, MoS and BvS, but still a great fun action film, which is destined to become a cut classic. I can't wait for the extended cut, which i hope will fix it's editing issues present at the beginning of the film.… Expand

САУНДТРЕК.
Фильм встречает зрителя отвратительно подобранным саундтреком,состоящим из рок хитов таких как The Animals - The House of the Rising Sun ,Black sabbath- Paranoid и др. Дело в том что сами композиции без приувелечения шикарны и заслуженно стали легендарными, но они совершенно не подходят к творящему на экране действию.Лично у меня сложилось такое впечеление что фильм просто хочет сыграть на настольгирующих чувствах зрителей.
СЮЖЕТ.
Что касается сюжета то тут все печально. Настолько халтурной работы я не видел давно. Сейчас я постораюсь объеснить что с ним не так посредством маленькой зарисовки
-Здаров министр обороны
-Здаров Аманда Уоллер
-Кароч слушай у меня тут мысля,кароч давай соберем отряд из отъявленных говнюков Готэма и они нам эта будут кароч помогать мир спасать
-Ты чо дура, как мы их будем контролировать?
-Да,не сцы все на мази. У каждого из них есть кароч слабости и мы их эт будем контролировать с помощью них.
-Ну я хз ваще.Они как бы эта типа ну опасны
-Приведите в кабинет одного из злодеев
Приводят в кабинет одного из злодеев, который в итоге станет для злодеев злодеем( спойлер)
-А теперь смотри министр чо он магет
Тут злодей проворачивает эффектный трюк.
-ВАХ ВАХ круто ваще-говорит министр и дает добро на создание спецотряда.
Я думаю вы поняли весь бред происходящего. А ведь это только начало, дальше маразм будет только крепчать.
ПЕРСОНАЖИ.
Не много о самом отряде злодеев. В него входят
Дэдщот- мямля и нытик который заботится о своей дочке(что откровенно говоря раздрожает на протяжении всего фильма)
Капитан Бумеранг-фанат My little pony.Который вообще не понятно что забыл в этом фильме.
Рик Флэг- солдат личность которого ни как не раскрывается.
Японка с катаной- японка с катаной.
Убийца Крок - обычный танк- дамагер.Я крок,убица Крок, крушить ломать.
Слипнот- просто какой то чувак которого убъют через полчаса после начала фильма.
Остались два персонажа которые мне понравились и которые хоть как то "вывозят" фильм.
Харли Квинн- безумная девушка Джокера .Закоторой интересно наблюдать.
Эль Диабло - персонаж чьи переживания не заставят вас скучать.
Также поведую вам о второстепенных персонажах.
Бэтмен- у здешнего темного рыцаря избыток хроиосом.
Джокер-словно сбежал со страниц комикса.Хотя бы за это нужно сказать сценаристу спасибо.
ЭКШЕН.
Для фильма позиционирующийся как экшен боевик здесь мало экшен сцен. Убедитесь в этом сами при просмотре фильма.
ГЛАВНЫЕ ЗЛОДЕЙ.
По традиции супергеройского кино злодей обезличен до нельзя и цель которого примитивна( захватить мир и стать самым крутым поцыком во всей галактике)
Финальная битва с которым напомнила мне битву с боссом из какой нибудь MMORPG(хотя бы в этот момент фильм смог меня порадовать).
ИТОГ
В целом фильм оказался скучным,однообразным,с плохо прописанным сценарием.

Margot Robbie is easily the standout of the cast with her energetic, scene-stealing portrayal of Harley Quinn, though Will Smith and Viola Davis deserve credit too. I may be in the minority here, but I also thought that Jared Leto was much better than people give him credit for. The Joker-Harley dynamic was easily my favourite part of the film. Of course, I still had problems. Not all of the squad were terribly memorable (they could have done the whole movie without Katana and Captain Boomarang) and the main antagonist was underwhelming. But Suicide Squad is still a fun movie with enough humour and action to overcome its flaws. A HUGE step-up from Batman v Superman.… Expand

Joker is barely in the film. He's okay when he's in the movie, but not at all worth the hype.

There is an interesting choice in this movie with a Batman and Harley Quinn scene that I think was genius and changes the dynamic of both characters.

Enchantress was okay, until there is a scene where she is club dancing in front of flashy lights. Even with that laughable villain, this movie works, so that's saying something.… Expand

The trailers were great! The posters were Cool! I was excited for the reviews. The reviews came out and they were not that positive. But, I still had hope. I entered the theatre ready to be pleasantly surprised. I was hoping that it would be DC's equivalent of Guardians of the Galaxy. The movie began and the editing was a mess. There were some fleshed out backstories and some that were rushed. Slipknot didn't even have a backstory! I know he dies early but he still deserved a backstory. Then we saw Joker. Jared Leto is a method actor so he should have been able to bring so much to the table. Sadly, the studio misused Jared Leto. Harley Quinn held the movie together with her spunk and personality. Unfortunately, The Enchantress was horrible and completely ruined the movie for me. Overall, Suicide Squad was a trainwreck… Expand
