Given all the negative reviews, I went into watching this thinking it would be a below average superhero movie. I thought it fun, well-paced, well-cast, and well-acted. Will Smith and Marot Robbie were great.

Beyond the great performances, storytelling, art direction and characters it was just gorgeous to look at – easily the most eye-candied popcorn movie I've seen in a long time.… Expand

That statement itself proves this movie deserves more recognition. Critics are totally dissecting it, overthinking every scene. This movie may not be "The Best Superhero Movie", but if you watch it and soak everything in as a whole, maybe pretend Tarantino directed then this movie is a blast, it's witty, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Just like the comics. Jared Leto even attempting to fill the shoes of Heath Ledger is a MAJOR task all in itself, and I think he did a great job. Watch a batman animated series episode, Leto took all of Joker's essence and amplified it in a twisted mental way, while Ledger was more human and serious. I think all the actors just had fun in the film, as did I watching it. If you expected this to be anything like The Dark Knight or have a serious tone in my opinion it did a better job than Batman V Superman did, and is an all around fun time. This will be a cult classic, and while not the smartest move DC could have made, it sure made a FUN move. This was new territory for DC cinematic universe, and I was pleasantly surprised.… Expand

I hate when the protagonist is revealed to be fraud only to be redeemed. I hate when from the beginning I know by what methods the antagonist will be defeated. And I hate when movies exposition is out of place not even trying. And I hate when I leave cinema and I cannot quote and vivaciously describe my favorite scenes. This move has not let me down on either of these points.

I liked most of the characters, not because they were likable per se, but because they were believable. Their main motivations were clear and their personalities more or less remained consistent, which is pleasantly refreshing. I will add here Joker, Jared Leto's Joker will not be remembered as best, but for me he will be the only Joker that I can imagine could exist, which made him extremely intimidating, I applaud that.

Effects overall are on the better side, little plagued by the style of man of steal, but that is up to individual tastes.

Grittiness - YES YES thousand times yes, finally a movie where the darkness is not represented by momentary weakness of main character. The movie was dark, surprisingly lot and while the grimness of situation was acknowledged, and just like sometimes in real life when kicked down one time too much, you just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. which brings me to

Humor - The humor of the movie comes from absurdity and contrast. Not from forced gags and jokes. This is my kind of humor, I enjoyed it tremendously.

This movie is not for everyone, It is like a AAA budgeted mix of styles somewhere between Pitch Black and Bad Santa with much better actors and plot.… Expand

Suicide Squad also faces many toneFrom the very beginning of the film, the movie Suicide Squad feels very rushed, not leaving enough time for the Character development we so desperately craved, and this rushed tempo continues throughout. Suicide Squad also faces many tone issues, seemingly having no clue how to take itself. On top of this, you can tell that there were many scenes that were cut from the film, leaving parts of it feeling quite choppy, and leaving the audience in a state of confusion. All of that being said, I still found myself enjoying the film quite a bit. The characters were all very likeable and were all very well portrayed, most notably Will Smith as Dead Shot, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, making it almost impossible to imagine anyone else filling their roles. On top of that, the movie was fun, and I never found myself bored or wanting to leave the theater - much unlike Batman v. Superman. I promise you, if you go into this movie hoping to have fun, and not looking for flaws, you will enjoy it.… Expand

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

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.… Expand

Deadshot, Harley, Killer Croc, and El Diablo were on point. Their performances were a pleasure to watch, and I felt they really connected with their characters. The flashbacks that introduced each character were short but they surely gave you the pieces you needed to follow the story. As an action movie, I though it was really good. However, there were some minor flaws. The first of these is the Joker's screen time. I really enjoyed Leto's take, but I felt that he wasn't fleshed out as we needed. Still, the little we saw was above average, surpassing Nicholson's but not quite getting to Ledger's. Another flaw, imo, is the small screentime for Katana and the use of Captain Boomerang. If he hadn't been invited, the gang of baddies wouldn't have missed anything. However, these flaws I mentioned do not outweigh, imo, the fact that this is a good action movie. I just hope that they release an extended edition because some scenes felt as if they needed extra screen time. And we all saw the trailers, so I hope they deliver properly when the DVD/BluRay comes out. Overall: 8/10… Expand

I'm going to say I wasn't really blown away by Leto as the Joker, even though I love him in other roles and when he's singing in his band, but don't get it twisted, this isn't the next Nolan Batman series, but it was never meant to be, it's a fun slightly messy story about misfits who don't really mesh well with everyday society and does well in telling that story.… Expand

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!!!!… Expand

Short introduction: The Suicide Squad in DC comics is a bunch ofAn enjoyable movie that has good action, humor and a great cast. However it has some problems that lead to the mixed reception. In short it is the kind of hit or miss movies. Short introduction: The Suicide Squad in DC comics is a bunch of criminals that is hired via brain bombs for a black ops government agency lead by Amanda Waller. They can reduce their sentences that way (Ever wondered why they are so often out of prison again in addition to good lawyers). Amanda Waller is a force to be recognized and made even Batman stand down a few times. She is smart, capable and ruthless. When you want things to get done she is the top choice. Here they transferred the concept into a movie. Amanda Waller wanted to create a team that can handle superpowered beings. She argued what when the next Superman was evil they need someone who stops him. While a complaint was they picked a team that could not stand a chance against Supes it could be a small scale test (Before they use stronger people). While it mostly worked it has its weaknesses and strengths. Lets start with the positives: The cast. I think Margot Robbie nailed Harley Quinn, Will Smith is a great Deathshot and Viola Davis is a good Amanda Waller. The other actors deliver and I will point out Jay Hernandez as El Diablo for his great performance. For the rest they had lesser screentime but did the best with it. The action scenes are done well and I enjoyed the final showdown. The story is O.K. but a bit underwhealming. Could done more with this IP. Visuals and effects are also good. The soundtrack is great but depends on preferences. Ben Affleck as Batman is O.K but was done for marketing. Finally the humor is great. The negatives are: Amanda Waller is less competent and capable as in the comics. The villain is a bit weak and too much cliche. They did more with her character in the comics. The Joker scenes and style are not that great (According to some actors there was far better material that was cut out of the movie). Some parts of the story are unbelievable. They could have done more with the characters in general. Overall an enjoyable movie that I would still recommend. DC did a lot worse and this is rewatchable if not more. Bonus reommendation: The animated Suicide Squad Assault on Arkham is better and should / could be used as blueprint.… Expand

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.… Expand

Yes, but it certainly had some great problems. Suicide Squad is directed David Ayer who directed Fury, Sabotage, and End of Watch, and stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Viola Davis, Scott Eastwood, Joel Kinnaman, Common, Jay Hernandez, Adam Beach, and Ben Affleck. That cast may look convincing but don't be fooled, half of the cast were great while the other half crashed and burned. My expectations that I had going to see this film was that Will Smith had to be spot on, just like the trailers, there had to be awesome music in it, and Jared Leto had to at least be better than Jack Nicholson. Most of them were met, but one didn't that really became a big problem for me, Jared Leto was so bad, at first I didn't know what to think of him and immediately that meant I had to go see it again to get a better opinion, it only made it worse and I instantly hated him, Joker may be weird, but Jared Leto really destroyed the role and it felt like he was the wrong choice for the character. The villain of the film Enchantress played by Cara Delevigne was horribly obnoxious, her role as the main villain of the film watered down with a annoying love story with Joel Kinnaman's character which was always trying to get in the way of everything that was happening. On the other side of all this is Will Smith who had the best backstory of the film, which exceeded my expectations, his character is funny, he's right in the middle of the action while at the same time being one of the anchor's of the film that's keeping it afloat. The other anchor of the film who really hit it out of the park was Margot Robbie who played Harley Quinn, her portrayal was obviously spot on as she captured part of Harley's backstory and her recognizable personality was carefully executed and became another one of the things keeping the film afloat. I was really surprised by the performance of Viola Davis for her portrayal of Amanda Waller because at first at any hopes of getting any knowledge of her character in the beginning of the film was worthless. Her character was at first very mysterious, she felt a little unpredictable until she turned out to be just as cold-blooded as the rest of the squad. I loved the makeup on Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who played Killer Croc, but I was hoping to see more of him, unlike everyone else in the squad who had even the least amount of backstory to their characters, I never saw anything for Killer Croc. Jai Courtney who portrayed Captain Boomerang was nothing really worth talking about, he was sort of funny, but really barely stood out of the crowd. I was disappointed with the fact that Adam Beach's portrayal of Slipknot was so minuscule and so worthless that I was always hoping that he would have better meaning for being in the film. Karen Fukuhara who portrays Katana was really cool looking buts kind of doesn't fit in with everyone else as she plays a very silent role compared to everyone else. But, the one thing I never saw coming was Jay Hernandaz who portrayed El Diablo, his character was so awesome, his backstory was emotionally deep, that in the end really was worth all the trouble. And finally the soundtrack, I was rocking in my seat in the theater to every song I knew, even to the songs I didn't know, I wouldn't compare it to Guardians of the Galaxy, but it was really great. Suicide Squad may of had a really crappy villain, and a too weird for my standards portrayal of the Joker, Suicide Squad kept me at the edge of my seat.… Expand

If this movie taught me something, it was to don't belive critics all the time. The movie is good, but the best thing was certainly see the DC universe finally start coming to life on the big screen.

When the film gets things right, it totally gets them right. It’s a weird, kick-ass, action-packed ride and just an overall blast that breathes life back into the DC Universe because of how much heart it has. I cannot wait to spend more time with these characters in a potential sequel or even other films where they might pop up in. The cameos are smoothly inserted, the world building isn’t forced and it features a mid-credit scene that I’ll say is one of the best a comic book film has featured to date. Even if you dislike the film, stay in your seat and wait for that as you won’t be disappointed. If you’re still on the fence, I really only have two words for you: Squad up.… Expand

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

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

Margot Robbie steals every scene she is in as Harley Quinn. Jared Leto's Joker shines, is completely unique, and leaves you wanting more, partly because of being criminally underused. Will Smith doesn't steamroll over others, despite being the biggest star in the film.

Batman is used well, as is Cara Delevingne's Enchantress, even if she could have used more screen time and back story. Amanda Waller, played by Viola Davis, is brilliant. Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, and Jay Hernandez also give solid performances. It's a shame we didn't get to see Ayer's version. I'm betting these solid actors would have only given us more awesomeness.

Go see it in theaters. It's well worth it. It's not a perfect film, (The music is a tad overdone) but the performances, action, and heart soar.… Expand

But the sheer entertainment that this film delivers is wellTo get right to it, Suicide Squad is a blast! I had an incredibly fun time watching this film. That's not to say it was perfect. 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.… Expand

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The third installment in the DCEU proved it's worth (For DC Fans), beating both its predecessors by miles. It's becoming a usual thing for me seeing Bad Reviews for DCEU movies, and i won't be surprised if the same scenario happens with the WW movie. I haven't believed the conspiracy theory that Disney pay critics to say bad stuff about WB movies but now the thought is bouncing in my head, anyway lets get on with the review.

Pro's

1.The acting in Suicide Squad was spot on, Will Smith was my highlight performance of the movie,perfect as Deadshot, managing to capture both aspects of the character, the hit-man and the Father. Margrot Robbie was just amazing as Harley Quinn, and i'm really excited about what DC will do with her if she gets a solo movie. Viola Davis as Amanda Waller just steals the show every time she is on screen.

2. The story was good, as it really made all members of the squad interact with each other in so many ways, relating both to their Criminal lives and their personal ones.

3. The Action sequences are very good, especially the ones having Deadshot in them.
Con's:

1.The movie was too predictable,when i enter a movie i wanna be curious about whats gonna happen later in the movie, but with Suicide Squad i really didn't find that, as the ending was very predictable.

2.Too little screen time for the Joker.I really find it annoying that they didn't give much screen time for the Joker, one of the reasons why i wanted to see this movie was because of the Joker, as i wanted to see if Jared Letos performance could top or equal that of Heath Ledger's performance, but i really couldn't as i wasn't shown enough of him to make my overall verdict about him.

3.Very Weak villain, as you saw in most of the trailers and the large media campaign WB gave to this movie, they focus very little about the villain. The final showdown between the Squad and the bad guy wasn't that interesting, as the villain was defeated very easily.

Overall Verdict: It's a good movie and is definitely worth your time, it is better by miles than Man of Steel and Batman V Superman. The movie could have had a better villain, more screen time for the joker, but all in all it is a good movie and i am certain most DC fans will like it.… Expand

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.… Expand

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

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well i don't blame critics for any of the fuzz, but it doesn't mean SS is bad either. It's passable for sure lots of actions lots of fun. The characters in SS is by far the most handled of all DCEU Movies, SS give more multidimensional aspect of it's characters without sacrificing it's core. Margot Robbie steal the show, and i'm amaze will smith and Joel Kinnaman kills it, both of them surpass my expectation. Viola davies also gives THE TRUE INTEPRETATION of amanda waller and WB should bring her to another DCEU Movies. I can't lie that i want jared Leto more, his performance is good but the moments he's in isn't elevate him into stellar performances, he should given more screen time eventough i knew he should be a third party in SS. Batman cameo and the Flash cameo it's a good move to show interconnected universe that been build in previous two movies, and i gotta say Ben affleck still best Batman potrayal on screen. Well i gotta be honest that SS had little bit messy transition between the scenes and the cut seems rough in a few scenes, it's like repeating "Batman v Superman's Mistakes" which is not a good thing. The plot little bit loose in the middle and The 3rd act it's the worst one i expect more a stellar final battle. Overall i enjoy it, but please do your homework Warner Bros, it seems you keep repeating the same mistakes.… Expand

Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes give it an average score of about 4/10. Audiences say it's fun, escapist fare, that the characters are likeable in their unfriendliness, and that they can't wait to see more. Their scores on MC and RT average about 7/10. What does that tell you?

Yes, the movie has problems: In some scenes, too much happens at once, resulting in a dizzying back-and-forth that even the cameras can't keep up with. Others will escape non-fans and result in a "Huh?" reaction. The big-bang moments won't hold up well on TV. There's at least one cliche "Well, we had to prove what we said was actually true" moment. The climax is a bit of a letdown.

But there are highlights: Will Smith (Deadshot), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn) and Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) are spot-on. Jered Leto (Joker) meshes perfectly with Robbie, setting up a Joker/Harley "Bonnie & Clyde"-type film. Karen Fukuhara (Katana) looks great with a sword and deserves an origin movie of her own. You actually care about what happens to the gang of expendables, good or bad -- except, maybe, for the lone "good guy," Rick Flag (an underwritten Joel Kinnaman). The movie stays faithful to the original "Suicide Squad" comic book of the 1980s.

Bottom line, it's your typical lead-in movie. Remember: People weren't thrilled with the first "X-men" or original series "Star Trek" films, either.… 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.… Expand

A great portrayal of Joker and an excellent Harley Quinn are icing on the cake that is a well done, if not quickly compiled, and contained story that allows plenty of room for expansion in a budding DC Universe. 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. Now fix the fact that there are almost an uncountable amount of licensed classic rock songs in the first 20 minutes and your movie is then an A-… Expand

The presentation of the characters and their interactions are what make this film work in an plot which we have seen again and again (Bad guy goes to a place to build a weapon and take over the world) but following the characters overwhelms any negative feeling I have over a very familiar plot. Unquestionably Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Will Smith as Deadshot are the main focus of this ensemble cast. However the other members of the Suicide Squad have chances to shine as well. The performances for the this movie are top notch, proving entertaining, heart breaking, and badass fun. While this film certainly isn't one of the best Comic book movies ever, it a far cry from deserving the negative criticism it has gotten. Here's to hopefully a sequel.… Expand

This is the classic "the other guys" storyline, which also does a fantastic job in establishing character relationships which will undoubtedly prove to be hugely important later on down the line. I thought they did a fantastic jobThis is the classic "the other guys" storyline, which also does a fantastic job in establishing character relationships which will undoubtedly prove to be hugely important later on down the line. I thought they did a fantastic job introducing the new Joker and HQ, filming from the villains point of view, and showing glimpses into character motivation and back stories.

This Suicide Squad placement in this DC series is important in that it clearly establishes the "failed attempt" by the government to provide a solution to what Waller terms as the "Metahuman" problem. At the end of it all, the operation was a huge failure (in which they must clean up a mess made by the government (Waller/Flagg) and successfully sets up a need for a good guy team instead...enter Justice League.

Now, this movie was by no means meant to be a standalone, and where I see the critics failing miserably in their critiques is by judging this movie by the main plot line itself, and not feeling satisfied with the individual character developments. Its crazy I know, why would anyone care so much about a movie plots and robust character development? Wait, just hear me out on this one....

The main plot in Suicide Squad was not as important to the whole progression of the movie, or to the DC universe expansion; rather was meant to serve as merely a vehicle to give a reason for these particular characters to be forced to work together in a world where they normally would not have. The more important aspects to this movie were the introduction of characters and their interactions, their motivations, back-stories, struggles, character alignment (i.e. Flagg/Lawton) and to setup additional DC films and not to spend too much time concentrating on anyone specifically - I somehow don't think that DeadShot and Batman are finished as Lawton (DeadShot) states he has unfinished business in Gotham, and if anyone thinks that the relationship between HQ and the Joker isn't hugely important, whether it shows his/her fatal flaw or his motivation for actions (or reasons for a potential huge fall in later movies) must have fallen asleep during the film. How the main plot holds together or even the storyline of the main plot itself in this instance doesn't matter...I mean even though I'm a huge fan I quickly recognized the main plot to be weak (the Witch and her bro) until I saw what I believed the movie makers were trying to accomplish. The important aspects were to show what makes these guys tick, recognize the individual motivations pushing characters to make certain decisions as well as certain mistakes...love was a huge motivator in this movie (HQ/Joker - Flagg/Moon - DeadShot/daughter), and to setup for other installments.

By no way am I likening this movie to Shakespeare, but have you read his storylines...they're ridiculous if you try to apply them to real life. However, Shakespeare wasn't trying to write Danielle Steele love novels nor Michael Creighton action novels. his art captured the complexity of the human condition, motivations, humor, strengths and weaknesses and the plot by itself was less important than the character interactions and underlying theme (i.e. greed, ambition, love, jealousy, revenge, honor, loyalty, etc.).

Things are not black/white and perspectives will vary depending on where you are standing...or being forced to stand in the case of these "bad guys". This perspective given from the bad guys point of view was perfect and everyone in the audience was empathetic to their struggles/past histories and wanted these guys to win by the end of the movie...even though we have grown up with the comics only seeing these characters as only villians.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, This movie isn't bad as people make it out to be. Some may say it's okay, or others say it's good, but I wouldn't say it was a masterpiece. It was GREAT. Great being more positive than good, I don't see why others hate it so much including the critics.

Here's my review:

Suicide Squad has an decent introduction. It introduces the cast and their profiles. It was great to see their backstories and how their prison life is which is very realistic. I loved every moment of it, But I had to cringe a bit at some lines.

Here is the delivery, it's a PG-13 movie so of course some lines weren't that strong.

I really have to crook my head to the side at this one line...

"Lady, you're evil!" - Deadshot.

That's odd, couldn't it have been written a little more interesting? The characters come off as very fun people but hesitant of doing bad things when they are criminals we are watching from criminals point of view. Not Batman.

Seeing as to how Deadshot could of killed Harley to see his daughter again, He would of done it. But actually he didn't.

Neither of them established they were friends before that point either, Meaning he had no reason or hesitance to shoot. He's a hitman right? The pacing and the scenes were structured out of place.

Not saying there was no story at all though, The story was interesting unlike many others viewed. Generic? It was still likeable. The squad are fighting against the enchantress army which is actually nice to watch. The Action was decent, but nothing over the top. I think if we seen more fighting it'd be great.

But... The other characters aside from Deadshot, Harley Quinn, El Diablo don't get many lines or backstory or scenes which I'd like to see.

Of course you can't fit that in one movie.

I think if they just stuck with Deadshot's story with minor references from the other villians and less flashbacky more story focused with action many people will like this movie more.

The movie could of had more time to focus on pacing as well if they weren't trying to crush every person's backstory in which didn't fit at all.

But overall.

It's a likeable fun summer movie.

Why does it deserve any lower than a 5? It's not that bad at all. The directors cut will be a thing to see as well which you may like better.… Expand

On the one hand, it is noticeable that the former idea of this movie was dumbed down to reach a wider audience, trying so hard to make us sympathise with the "bad guys" that they never felt like bad guys at all. What's also a real shame is how little of Jared Leto's Joker we get after all the hype he was getting, having most of his scenes cut to make him more of a Prince Charming than the Clown Prince of Crime we expected (and Jared Leto seems to be the one that's most pissed about it). But, with all it's problems, I'd be lying if I didn't admit I had a great time watching this film. What you get in the end is a very exciting movie with an amazing cast. We have the best Will Smith role in years and Margot Robbie steals the show on every scene she is in. It's the interaction between the characters that make this movie work and had me wanting to watch more of each individual. So despise my cold mind reminding me of it's many structural problems and missed opportunities, I have to go with my heart and recommend this movie as a very entertaining experience that will have you hoping to see this characters back on the screen.… Expand

How can this movie be worse than Sausage Party I have no idea.
Yes, DC is rushing as fast as possible to Justice League without
taking the time that Marvel did to make their mistakes and then
learn to get things right. But this films is a step in the right
direction.

Suicide Squad brings back the Comic in the DC films universe. While
the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight films did an excellent job bring
the Batman story back for adults, not everything has to be dark and
brooding. Jared Leto's performance as the Joker brings that character
to life as a modern day gangster. Sinister drips off of his portrayal
whenever he is on screen. The colors, sound editing, and cinematography
give you an exhilarating ride through the pages of some of DC's most
underplayed characters.

If you are a comics fan go see this film. Hopefully DC films will
continue to adjust their formula going toward Justice League, but this
movie moves in the right direction.… Expand

Apparently we did. The movie is far from perfect, as almost any movie is anyway, but it is as enjoyable as I expected stepping in the theatre!

Margot Robbie was AWESOME, the real MVP of the movie, she brought Harley to life! Will Smith was also fantastic as Deadshot and El Diablo also work'd imho, loved the character.

Last but not least, Jared Leto! I had some serious doubts about him but man, I was so wrong. He gave us a different, modernized, Joker and yeah, in my opinion it worked out! Do you honestly see the awesomely serious Heath Ledger Joker is this funny mess? Nope. This Joker instead is cohesive with the movie tone! I also liked that he didn't steal the movie, this wasn't supposed to be a Joker movie after all, those 15 minutes felt exactly right.

Honorable mention goes to Enchantress and Batman. I honestly didn't know much about Cara Delevigne character but it intrigued me: the origin story, the art, the powers, the rendering .... Really well done! Batman appearences were short but spectacular, the first one was just awesome, you could feel the 'Ohhh's in the audience.

Now the "meh" parts:
- The pacing felt strange at times and some scenes were too blacked out.
- Some characters felt underdeveloped, Cpt. Boomerang and Katana got thier moments but they could have been better, Killer Croc wasn't really funny even when he tried. Slipknot? Rofl.
- Joel Kinnaman character was forgettable. Probably not the correct actor choice?
- Viola Davis .... Yeah, meh. I didn't feel neither her or her character. Bad.
- The brotherly thing was avoidable and the ending was a bit disappointing.

One last note. My wife, who usually dislikes superhero movies, really liked this one. Thanks WB :D… Expand

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

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 DCEU gets a little bit bigger. Suicide Squad is used to show off a different side of WB's cinematic universe. One with a little more style, humor, and crazy flair than what we've previously seen with the likes of MoS and BvS.

This newThe DCEU gets a little bit bigger. Suicide Squad is used to show off a different side of WB's cinematic universe. One with a little more style, humor, and crazy flair than what we've previously seen with the likes of MoS and BvS.

This new vibe doesn't wildly change things though. The focus may be on the villains this time around, but this is your standard, save the world from destruction, superhero affair. The plot is incredibly familiar. A big, overpowered baddie is building a world ending device. Only this time it isn't the heroes going in to save the day, it's other bad guys. Naturally, manipulation by politicians is what gets these characters to cooperate. There's some stuff about how these characters are just tools to the people in power. That the politicians are just as heartless as the villains. It adds a little bit more depth and expands the scale of the universe, but it's never used to any great effect here. Nothing is really said.

Despite it's plot shortcomings, it's the characters and their action scenes that keep things going. Not all of the villains get the attention they deserve, but the ones that do are brought to life pretty well. Margot Robbie doesn't disappoint as Harley and Will Smith is a good Deadshot even if he doesn't break away from his typical smart aleck role. Joel Kinnaman is equally great as the leader of the group, Rick Flagg. I also have to give special praise to Jai Courtney. I haven't liked that dude since Spartacus. He's just stunk up every movie he's been in. Not here though. He's actually one of the best. Loved his Captain Boomerang. The best character and performance award goes to Jay Hernandez though. He's the heart and soul of the movie.

Everyone else is kind of underused. Especially Viola Davis. Such a fantastic actress shouldn't be limited to a supporting role like that. There's also not enough Killer Croc. The only performance that disappointed me here was Jared Leto. Although that might not be entirely his fault. He may actually be a great Joker. He just isn't given much to do here and what he is given to do isn't great.

Stylistically he looks to gaudy. The cartoony, yet gangsterish look they gave him doesn't work. His laugh is weak and he does the weird snorting, growl thing that just isn't appealing. I should probably wait to reserve judgment until he's actually really utilized in the universe, but this is not a good introduction to this new interpretation of the Joker. This first impression didn't go well and may be just as controversial with fans as Eisenberg's Lex Luther.

The action in the movie is entertaining. A lot of punching, shooting, explosions, and all around villainy action. Each characters abilities are shown off well. Doesn't break any new ground, but is entertaining nonetheless.

The style is a big part of the film. At times it's light, bubbly and oh so sadistic with it's visuals and humor. Totally feels like a movie about the bad guys. The soundtrack is awesome and used perfectly. Admittedly some of this stuff can get cheesy and a lot of it ends up ditched early on in favor of standard superhero flick affair, but what's here is mostly likable.

It's just a movie about watching the bad guys be bad guys while doing good guy stuff. It doesn't save the DCEU and falls short in a lot of areas. However if you just come for the characters and to have fun then you can still enjoy this. The DCEU might still be in trouble, but I appreciate seeing the style and humor of Suicide Squad attempting to bring something different to it. I may have wanted a better movie, but the cast and their dedication to doing the best darn job they can with the characters pulled me in. It's not perfect, but I still had some fun.… Expand

Suicide Squad was a fun movie. It wasn't perfect and had a pretty rote villain but entertained well through it's run time. Harley Quinn and the Joker were particularly fun. Mercifully better than Superman VS Batman.

Ike Barinholtz added some great comedy. Plot is a little weak, and it would have been better if they had a bad guy before they made the play to put the team together. Cameo by Batman was fine. Flash's costume looked weak, hopefully they change it before the Justice League movie.… Expand

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

There are quite a few laughs along the way, which helps. Capt. Boomerang and Harley in particular bring some comic relief.

Minor gripes: Will Smith is not cut out to play Deadshot, at least not one that is accurate to the comics. However I can live with it because the movie as a whole was satisfying. Also, I don't know why they subsituted Killer Croc for King Shark. Maybe they couldn't afford the CGI for King Shark?

Anyway, I'd bet dollars to donuts it is better than BM v. SM or Man of Steel. At least SS does not take itself too seriously.… Expand

I can see why the professional critics came down so hard on this film. There are plot holes. The pacing is a bit off a times. Some of the ensemble cast doesn't do much. Perhaps the worst sin, a couple of characters get "reigned in" for the PGI can see why the professional critics came down so hard on this film. There are plot holes. The pacing is a bit off a times. Some of the ensemble cast doesn't do much. Perhaps the worst sin, a couple of characters get "reigned in" for the PG 13 rating. On the other hand, this movie has enough awesome in it to be the 3rd best comic book movie of the year (in my opinion). Behind Deadpool and Captain America 2. There is plenty to enjoy about it, and its a memorable movie. Will Smith is back in fine form. Its not some sedate feel good, oscar bate story this time. He brings the swagger that we haven't seen in a long time. Though he hijacks the deadshot character, its probably worth it, and he gives an enjoyable performance. Margot Robbie does a great Harley Quin, though she gets a bit less crazy towards the end. An almost epic performance on her part. Cara Delevingne does a great job playing the Enchantress+ whatever the human part of that was called.The rest of the cast did a suitably good job.
The plot is OK. Hate to say it but the animated suicide squad movies do a better job there. There is a camaraderie and empathy they build at one point is an off-putting stretch. They are bad guys. Not all bad, sure, but worse than that.
Jared Leto gave us a different joker from what we've seen before. It fits the hyper stylized universe. Not my favorite. Not bad really either. Just a change. Less menacing, more over the top street thug.
Overall I felt like I was watching an early attempt at an awesome film. And it had all the ingredients to be awesome. They just need to work a few bugs out first. Its a big step up for this studio following Batman vs Superman.… Expand

With lines that arent funny and doing things that the joker would not do. Hes more of just a common criminal thats just a little sadistic. Overall the film is watchable and i thought it was going to be terrible with all the bad reviews but it wasn't. DC only problem is that they never had that great of charecters as marvel. So they really have to dig. Marvel always had the better comic books and charcters.

Yes, the movie is undeniably rough around the edges, but, y'see, it's the performers, their characters, and their interactions that makes this movie - forgive me - pretty friggin' dope to watch. Again, it's an inarguably imperfect film, but a film that's ultimately rendered watchable -- nay, lovable -- infectiously effective humor, enthralling action scenes, and a commendable emphasis on using dynamic characters to smooth out a fairly messy story.… Expand

Robbie really steals the show with spot on portrayal of Harley Quin. Smith does an excellent job as Deadshot, but he is a bit too high profile an actor and its really hard to see past that, if he had worn the mask more, it would have been perfect. Davis also does a kick@$$ job as Waller. As for the rest of the cast, forgettable. Ultimately the Squad is crowded with too many characters and would have been better with a team of 4 or less.

Joker is barely in the movie. Nothing more than a plot device for Quin's backstory. A shame as it clearly shows that Leto was going all out. Understandable why he's upset how much his character was cut from the movie, especially considering all the hype about his Joker. A wasted opportunity since he is given too little time to truly shine.

One real flaw was that the plot has barely any buildup. It really just goes straight from introductions to the action with little filler to help build up the characters, relying perhaps too much on familiarity with the characters. However, it does have a few moments that redeem it closer to the end of the movie.

Overall:
Suicide Squad is a fun movie, and one of the better DCU movies to date. Yet, I feel like it could have done more and should have taken more risks.

Side Note:
I really hope we see more of Leto's Joker in the Batman solo film. More Harley as well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed this movie. It had some plot holes but overall deserves a watch. Now the Joker's character is absolutely pathetic! 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

The antagonist was a surprise but also not very strong in character. I felt that the first part of the movie would cover the issue raised and the second part would have an even strong or more dangerous antagonist, but the story dragged on for an unnecessary amount of time, so that was a disappointment.

The plot is...well it is not awful, it is just the classic story where some guys want to conquer the world by killing people and turning them into their army. That becomes the reason for some other guys to be gathered so that the world could be saved. The movie also has some of those illogical, badly explained moments, or "holes in the plot", that you'll see in many superhero and sci-fi movies. Some characters don't get enough attention and screen time. BUT at least the characters don't defeat their enemies too easily as they did in Star Trek: Beyond, and the actors take their roles seriously and play them quite well. The soundtrack of Suicide Squad is nice. The costumes are pretty cool. Even though the plot is not the best, the whole movie is action-packed and is definitely not boring. So overall, an imperfect, but fun to watch movie, especially if you are a teenager, and you came with friends.… Expand

Firstly the acting and characters were amazing especially Amanda Waller, Deadshot and Harley Quinn. Captain Boomerang was also great, Killer Croc, El Diablo, Katana were also good. The Joker was pretty good but needed more screen time. Some of the action was great and some of it was OK, the cameos were fantastic and made me wanting more. There were plenty of funny moments along the way so it never felt dull.

The editing was by far the weakest point, everything just felt out of whack, you can tell scenes were cut from the movie (thanks to WB). The story was average and felt generic. The villain was meh and uninteresting.
