This film is like a goldplated Maybach 62:
Overpriced, overhyped piece of sh1t for people without taste who like loud and unclever things... mainly 12Yold boys with daddy issues.
Wasted 58 minutes of my life - I could bare this crap only so far.

I really enjoyed this film. It was fun, engaging and Will Smith was as always brilliant, as were the vast majority of the cast.

I loved the characters, the way it was presented and the tie-ins and I suppose really my only negatives are that there was never any real suspense or tension built and the characters switched to 'traditional' good guys all to quickly without any major conflict between them. I'd have been happy to have this whole film an hou longer with this content in but it was still a kick ass film and I will be watching it again. And hoping for a directors cut version!… Expand

With an A-list cast, I wanted to like this movie but i couldn't. It felt too rushed to compete with with Marvel. They should have flushed out the characters and took there time.

This movie is definitely not a bad one, it has some strong points like the performances of the actors, the great chemistry between them, the character development and some great action sequences. But it has also many bad points like the all over the place plot, some terrible CGI, a very bad villain and false marketing about how important the Joker actually was and the role he played. Overall, it is enjoyable, it is fun to see these beloved characters on the big screen and shoot up some sh-t, but as BvS it kinda feels like a disappointment because it had so much potential and it was not nearly exploited enough.… Expand

Pero lamentablemente terminóCon las expectativas altas de que “Suicide Squad” irrumpía en el género de super héroes con la novedad “villanos protagonistas”, presentando una selección de personajes que permitía una mayor libertad creativa. Pero lamentablemente terminó siendo una película genérica de acción más.
Su mayor problema es la inconsistencia, por momentos el guión es muy bueno y por otros es realmente estúpido. Por un personaje bien logrados como Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) hay una acartonada Enchantress (Cara Delevingne); por una escena donde los personajes se complementan y funcionan juntos en pantalla hay momentos en que el elenco es tan extenso que algunos se vuelven extras; por cada efecto especial bien logrado como la transformación de la Enchantress, luego crean algo cutre, como los hombres baba con ojos.
De éste lío lo más trágico es la historia. La introducción estuvo bien pero tiene una trama que desaprovecha las oportunidades de tener un grupo de villanos. Sin códigos morales para liquidar a un objetivo o infiltrarse a un espacio restringido se decide que el mejor uso del grupo es ponerlo en un escenario para héroes.
“Suicide Squad” tampoco puede lograr lo que “Man Of Steel” o “Batman v Superman” no pudieron, darle a DC un aprobado, sí introducen un par de personajes interesantes pero como unitario es una regular película de acción con muchos agujeros argumentales..
P/D: Jared Leto es el peor Joker de la historia.… Expand

Bad aspects:

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

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

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

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

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

Good aspects:

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

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

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

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

Suicide Squad was hyped to a god-like status. Merchandise was everywhere and it was talked about constantly on social media.

So when the film didn't live up to its god-like status, people were pissed.

Now, this film has some noticeable and blatantly obvious flaws but it really isn't as bad as the fans and critics are saying. It's a very fun and incredibly entertaining summer blockbuster and defiantly worth you time. If you see it as anymore than this, then you won't enjoy it. It's only meant to be fun.

The best part of the film is defiantly the performances of Margot Robbie and Jared Leto. There flashback scenes together were fantastic, truly awesome. Leto brings a fresh and new portrayal of The Joker that isn't too similar to either Ledger or Nicholson, which is nice to see. Unfortunately, the Joker is barley in the film and the small bits he is in are fantastic. Harley Quinn was also unpredictable and very funny. I just wish that we had got a Joker/Harley Quinn film instead of a Suicide Squad film.

The other members of the cast were all good- Jai Courtney has finally done a film that didn't completely suck ass, and he does a great job at portraying his character. Deadshot, played by Will Smith is also good but it's just Will Smith playing Will Smith while in fancy dress. But that works great for Will Smith so who cares. I honestly think that he shouldn't have had the spotlight that he gets because Harley Quinn and The Joker were so much better characters.

Other than Deadshot and Harley Quinn, the other characters seriously lacked development. Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) had no development and was only really there for the laughs. Katana, Killer Croc and Pyro were all three underdeveloped and underused, but I suppose that a film with so many characters has to leave some a bit less developed for the sake of its runtime.

Nevertheless, the team have great charisma together, which is a job well done on the directors part.

The soundtrack is great, but at times the music doesn't quite suit the tone of the scene and the soundtrack often jumps around from song to song rather erratically.

The editing was rather awful, which is a recurring theme in DC films. It comes across like a lot is missing and the stuff that is missing should be there, and the film suffers because of this.

The film had some petty good special effects and was visually nice at times but the cinematography was a bit dark and dingy and the villain at the end looked kinda terrible. The action scenes were nicely choreographed and well directed. There were also a few cool Batman Cameos, one was particularly good with Deadshot and it really helped the Batman character feel like the Batman we all know and love, not the man from BvS.

The villain was the Enchantress who lacked development and was kind of awful. Because she's a witch, it seems stupid that someone as powerful would be going against some people with guns.

Which leads me onto my main problem with the film:
The plot was too big for the team. The Suicide Squad should be taking on the mafia or a drug lord- not an all powerful supernatural force!! This left me saying the dreaded 'As if' a lot, which totally withdrew you from the film.

If the plot was on a smaller scale, the villain were stronger and the music and film editing was a lot better, than Suicide Squad could have lived up to the god-like hype. However, you will enjoy it as a popcorn filck and it's a small step up from BvS and in the right direction.… Expand

DC universe in term of a bit lighter tone at the very beginning but the
entire film still leaves an impression of being darker compared to
other Marvels production, which is a bit let down from what it is
marketed. Trying to expand just like Guardians of the Galaxy, uneven
plot and character development are the main issues of Ayer's
screenplay. The movie sets up after the death of Superman and rushes
towards the event hosted by the main antagonist, affecting the overall
fluidity of the story. Assuming that audiences are already familiar
with the comics, all the characters are briefly introduced and it works
less effectively especially when the Squad itself is not well known
like Batman or Superman. Will Smith and Margot Robbie perform decently
as Deadshot and Quinn, emotional engagement does exist among all but
lack in depth for featuring too many characters at one shot especially
Joker. Despite these main problems, action sequences are packed enough
and fun to follow while the visual effects are more colorful compared
to the other DC films; Retaining the rhythm of Zimmer's BvS theme,
Steven Price has composed the scores in a different tunes, combining
some rock musics that suit well the film and a sense of DC universe's
continuity. While it misfires at plot and those super villains are not
shown to be doing anything too evil, it does not aim to be like other
superheroes films, it is still amusing and it gives a new life to DC's
big-screen universe.… Expand

И так понятно думаю, что Marvel - как бы на аудиторию в 6-12 лет, а DC - 13+

Основные различия - в социальном реализме. У Marvel всё красочное, эм, мир детский реальные мысли не допускаются - ничего общего с каким-нибудь глухарём, побегомИ так понятно думаю, что Marvel - как бы на аудиторию в 6-12 лет, а DC - 13+

Основные различия - в социальном реализме. У Marvel всё красочное, эм, мир детский реальные мысли не допускаются - ничего общего с каким-нибудь глухарём, побегом из тюрьмы, или еще сотней бандитских фильмов. Персонажи 2битные, объяснения почему стал героем или зладеем - посмшещищные и вот чисто детские, вот даунские, тупым надо быть чтобы поставить такую хуйню триггером. У ДС жи вполне всё честно: есть травля, несправедливость, учитывается психология реального мира, психология людей и суициды.
Это просто психолонические драми с кучей насилия, об обычных грязных людях из того же фильма Грязь. Они - не в маня-мирке. Там объясняется что эти люди хотят иметь семьи, любовь, детей, и я двачер их прекрасно понимаю. Мне тоже не место в этом мире, меня тоже ненавидят и я хочу убивать. Это драматические фильмы о нас, настоящих людях

Маварл - это не боевики, а просто игрушечные айрон мэны в тонах комедий на Малибу, пальмы и красные крутые тачки, блондинки в красных бикини, это некий свой жанр. Детская комдеия-боевик, вот. Простите что постоянно аппелирую к детскости, просто я считаю что это именно жанр этих фильмов. Например "фильмы для детей, музыка для детей, мультики для детей".
Понятно да, что они уступают на голову обычной фантастике.

DC же по сути -обычные боевики. Вот смотришшь - брутальность, кровища, реальная структура мира. Это те же самые Крепкий Орешек, Миссия Невыполнима или Петля Времени. Просто на еще более ахуенном уровне. Из-за хауненый персонажей. Это просто бомжежка для индустрии. Это сумасшедшая разница. Есть просто целая гора харизматичнейших персонажей на десятилетия вперед, чьи истоии можно расскзаать. И разумеется. все вот эти пидер-мены, хищники и рэмбо отсосут рядом с уже легендарным Бэтменом, Джокером, Харли Квин, Эль Диабло

Во-первых хочу отметить глубину персонажей и их эпичность,
Целостность вселенной - это то как должна была сделат марвел, вот при просмотре у меня постоянно возникали такие вопросы "а где этот блядь хули он не в этом фильмеп" Проблема еще в том, что в марвел все картонные и как цирк просто с конями, вне фильмов эти персонажи не живые и не живут. Ибо они РАСКРЫВАЮТ ВСЕ СВОИ КАРТЫ И ЧЕРТЫ ХАРАКТЕРА КАК В ПЕРВЫЙ РАЗ в своей жизни, как на сцене, что выдают все свои приемчики и пытаются всех поразить, а не живут своей жизнью

В отряде самоубийц чувтсвовалось что персонажей просто выдернули из их повседневки, сняли отрывок про этот эпизод их жизни, после чего отпустили жить своей жизнью дальше. Все гармонично, я уверен харли сейчас грабит что-то со своим ебырем. Впервые, Джокера кстати, показали не бесполым тупорылым старпером. Интересно, что же его так разъело...

Эти фильмы - просто перенеснные из вот Аркхэм серии на большой и экран и с реальными аткерами видосы. Просто ахуенно смотреть на всех этих уже дохуя глубоких и харизматичных персонажей. У марвел такого нет и не будет, - это комедия ебаная, сериал друзья.

Ох блядь как эпично блядь их всех видеть вместе аж невериться.
Бэтмен к которому мы привыкли видеть только в своих фильмах, про которого посмотрели уже 3 фильма и 4 игры - теперь стал каноничнее и появляется в каждом фильме как ему и положено. Фильмы теперь не кастраты, а полноценны как и видеоигры ,где всё логично.

Во-первых хочу отметить актёров DC. Ткаим жестом они как бы утвердились как короли фильмов те, кто стоят на порядок выше всех и нанимают топовых актеров.
Это Джаред Лето, о боги как я его обажаю. Он получил Оскара за роль пидора в Далласком Клубе, у него пиздецки ахуенная группа, он играл в Господине Никто
Это Клах Дрого, второй чувак на которого я равняюсь.
Это Вилл Смит, Бэн Аффлек

Эль Диабло получился в Отряде - уберканоничном, прямо из Arkham вытащили.
Остальные - ну, Харли збс, Джокер... уверен раскроется в Бэтмене 2018.
Уилл Смит не понравился. Дэдшот должен быть
1. Здоровее и брутальнее
2. Белее
Киллер крок показался закомплексованным по поводу своего уродства и слабоватым физически. Наверняка его специально не стали делать огромным - НАХУЙ ДС ВТОРОЙ ОГРОМНЫЙ ЧУВАК-МОНСТР ВРОДЕ ХАЛКА… Expand

Jared Leto was good as the joker and it was interesting seeing a new joker. Will Smith was surprisingly good as Deadshot and Joel Kinnaman really shined in this movie. Some other great performances were Cara Delevigne and Jai Courtney. The humor really worked in this DC film and some scenes were probably the best I have ever seen in a superhero film. Also, the music was very fitting in this film. However, the film did have some cons that I did notice. First of all, the trailers gave away much of the film's greatness and some of the good scenes. The film overall was a bit too long, although I liked all of the scenes. However my major problem, which I think is everyone's problem, is the anticipation of the Joker. Story-wise, this film was a mess. The Joker felt like an unnecessary character and just a cash grab. He wasn't essential to this film and the film had way too many characters. Now that's not a problem for me, but when they focus on some characters other than others, that's a problem. The ending wasn't surprising and it was insanely guessable. But, it's a fun movie that teens and adult superhero fans would love to see again. Suicide Squad was definitely worth the IMAX 3D price and it was fun, so I'm looking forward to a sequel. For reference, this was on par with Batman Vs. Superman. (94/100)… Expand

The antagonist was a surprise but also not very strong in character.

The DC Cinematic Universe continues to disappoint fans of their heroes; or in this case, it's villains. "Suicide Squad" does very little to add to this new universe, but rather feels like a filler movie as we wait for the Justice LeagueThe DC Cinematic Universe continues to disappoint fans of their heroes; or in this case, it's villains. "Suicide Squad" does very little to add to this new universe, but rather feels like a filler movie as we wait for the Justice League movie. It does get a few things right, but not enough to save this lackluster film.

Performances in this movie overall are pretty damn good. The three standouts are undoubtedly Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, and Jared Leto as the Joker. Margot Robbie does more than just eye candy here, bringing real emotion to the character of Harley. Will Smith also does more than just play himself here. He's the most relatable character in the movie, and the one you'll probably be cheering for the entire film. Jared Leto as the Joker may have been questionable to some, but what he brings to the character is undeniably entertaining. While he isn't utilized much, he makes you want more of him in future DC movies.

The soundtrack is also one of the best of the year. The closest I can compare it to would be that of "Guardians of the Galaxy", containing mostly classic rock songs that will surely be stuck in your head when you leave the movie.

Where the movie starts to fall apart is...well, everything else. The main plot of the film, aside from bringing super villains together to work for the government, is cliché is boring. You've seen this plot a million times before, and "Suicide Squad" does nothing to change it up or bring anything fresh to the formula. Everything pretty much happens the way you think it'll happen and theres no surprises in the whole film.

Dialogue is spotty. When the villains are interacting with each other in small talk, it can be pretty entertaining. But should anyone have anything to say to the soldiers working with them or the main villain of the film, it all goes to hell. It's cliché and full of exposition, to say the least.

Fight sequences aren't necessarily bad, but nothing really memorable either. Usually in super hero films (or really action films in general), there is at least one or two fight scenes that stand out in your head and make you think how awesome the protagonist(s) is. But in this film, I honestly can't say that theres a single fight that stands out to me. They're all pretty bland and basic in almost every way.

I'm sure that mega fans of the comics will love this film, and more power to you if you do. But for me, this film as too many problems to overlook. While it has some solid performances and a kickass soundtrack, everything else in this film falls apart. Warner Bros. has some serious thinking to do about what they're gonna do next in their universe, because so far it's not fairing too well.… Expand

The Joker was entirely unneeded in the movie and the version of the character was weak at best. I really like Leto and Jia Courtney, and even Kinnaman so was disappointed. 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

But the story of the Joker and Harly Quinn felt out of place and purposeless for the most part. Their introduction was fine, but throughout the rest of the movie you could tell that they weren't exactly sure which role these characters and their romance is going to have. You don't actually get a gripe of who the new Joker really is. And even though they're a love couple, Harley is partly shown unlikely indifferent to him just to fulfill the purpose of the plot.

Although they put a lot of focus onto them in their marketing campaign, it feels more like fan service in the end and leaves you dissatisfied with their actual integration into this movie.… Expand

There were a lot of great performances by some great actors and it was fun to see the "bad guys" come together for the sake of saving humanity. Stand out performances were the Harley Quinn, Joker and Dead Shot characters. No, this ain't your mother's superhero movie.

The chaotic style of this movie appeared to have been a turn off for a lot of people, and the ratings suffered because of this. II think this stylistic approach was an intentional attempt to give the viewer a glimpse into the minds of the characters themselves. Some of them were seriously deranged after all. I actually liked it myself and it drove that point home for me.

At its core a complete an utter piece of **** but like all healthy dog **** rolled in glitter I couldn't stop staring at the shiny bits.

I thought Will Smith was great as "Big Bad Willy" (what "Slim shady" is to Eminem if you will) but that isn't hard when you have the most developed character. Underdeveloped characters, a main theme throughout the film, completely wrecks the pace and fluidity of the movie.

Margot Robbie tries her best as Harley Quinn and while I would like to see her play the nut case again, she did not belong in this cinematic. Personally I would be far more interested in "Joker & Harley" only, for the big screen. (Side note: I will definitely be wanking to Harley Quinn porn tonight)

Croc only exists when other character's mention him, I mean seriously he had less frames than Mark Convey's PC. Boomerang, while I quite liked the character I would not have missed him if he died in a helicopter crash, which by the way; I have not seen so many people survive since an episode of the A-Team.

Now Moving on to El Diablo, or Pyro as I like to call him - because apparently speaking in a Mexican accent when you're white is "racist" - is by far my favourite character. He has the best power and the most harrowing back story that simply cannot be told in the DC Movie franchise. That's why I have taken the liberty of setting up a petition to get him his own Netflix series!

Link to petition here: https://www.change.org/p/netflix-el-diablo-pyro-must-get-a-netflix-tv-series?recruiter=590407343&utm_source=share_for_starters&utm_medium=copyLink

The Joker, Meh. Was he even in this movie? Not enough footage to judge Jared Leto on whether he's a good joker but certainly enough to see he doesn't hold a smirk to Heath Ledger let alone a smile.

I haven't read the graphic novel so I'm taking artistic license with this next sentence but The Witch should been fighting, at worst: Superman, at best: The ghostbusters (classic of course).

Overall: a romp that started off enjoyable but by the end, bored, I found myself drifting off into a world where Margot Robbie was **** on my chest while "Big Bad Willy" sang Miami as encouragement.

A middling 4/7.

PS: Warner Bros keep your **** nose out of the franchise, you ****… Expand

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

Escuadrón suicida es una de las peliculas mas esperadas de este verano del universo DC, basada en los comics con el mismo nombre, donde un grupo de indeseables criminales , son reclutados por Amanda Waller, una agente sin escrupulos y friaEscuadrón suicida es una de las peliculas mas esperadas de este verano del universo DC, basada en los comics con el mismo nombre, donde un grupo de indeseables criminales , son reclutados por Amanda Waller, una agente sin escrupulos y fria como el hielo, para hacer misiones peligrosas o para hacer el trabajo sucio del país sin implicarse ella o el gobierno de los Estados Unidos.

Y como siempre, las criticas contra ella por ser de DC, no han sorprendido, desde el punto de vista de quien escribe, sabia que hiciesen lo que hiciesen le caerian leches, la gran pregunta es...esas leches además recibidas por dicha web, ¿son merecidas?, la respuesta corta es NO. La larga es NO, pero....

Para empezar, el resultado no deja de ser una película de entretenimiento veraniego o blockbuster simplón, como cualquier película de este tipo de superheroes, algo que creo que Ayer se dió cuenta, que debía utilizar la formula Marvel, es decir, película comercial con guión sencillito, pero usando el tono ese mas oscuro y lo utilizó con un resultado, que se podría definir con un “progresa adecuadamente” rozando el “necesita mejorar”.

Un guión sencillito como el solo, pocos giros de guión, cameos de rigor, escenas de acción buenas y algún gag resultón, en ese aspecto, la película lo hace bien, pero no lo remata y se queda el film en algo mediocre, anodino y olvidable al salir del cine, como todas estas pelis de superheroes. Antes de empezar a leerle la cartilla primero destacamos lo positivo del film, los personajes principales me han gustado, los protagonistas del film son Deadshot y Harley Quinn, Amanda Waller y el Joker en sus pocas escenas,son los amos de la función y Will Smith emana carisma por todos sus poros, sorprende el tono y el respeto al material hasta cierto momento del film, sorprende la acción del film, muy bien hecha y elaborada, y chapó el guiño a Alex Ross, esos matices hacen a la película encantadora.

Pero, la película tiene una serie de defectos, uno de los que mas me tocaba la narices es el doblaje del Joker...ES UNA PUTISIMA MIERDA, Habla como el de ESH UNA FIESHTA, ¿en serio? Os habéis cargado al Joker con ese doblaje de mierda. Y los personajes, restantes muy desdibujados y desarrollados pobremente, Capitán Boomerang esta fatal metido y muy precipitado y Slipknot para lo que hace, podíais haberoslo ahorrado.

El cacareado montaje, es el gran problema del film, a ver entiendo el rollo Snatch para darle ese tono “malote” o gamberril, Snatch o los films de Ritchie son un referente de ese tipo de ideas y movidas visuales, ese tipo de rollo de montaje con Flashbacks y escenas potentes, no le veo mal ahí. Pero al igual que le pasaba a Batman v Superman, el montaje se nota, muchos saltos, algunos momentos se toman su tiempo y de repente, se pone a toda leche, todo precipitado y no sabes que ha pasado, un problema bastante critico, que de ahí han venido las leches. Recomendaría muchisimo que los señores de Warner dejen un poco de libertad o se aclaren, porque así lo que hacen es fastidiar películas, con mucho potencial en productos mediocres o fallidos.

En conclusión, un film con mucho potencial, desaprovechado y caído a las garras de la mediocridad, mas absoluta. Esperemos que saquen un directors cut, con la versión de Ayer, y podamos ver su verdadera visión y ver...quien tenía razón, si Ayer o Warner.… 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

Suicide Squad is a bad film, but damn is it a lot of fun. Not my thing, but I can see why one would enjoy it if they are into comic books. Me, however, I am not. As it stands, it leaves more than a bit to be desired. First though, theSuicide Squad is a bad film, but damn is it a lot of fun. Not my thing, but I can see why one would enjoy it if they are into comic books. Me, however, I am not. As it stands, it leaves more than a bit to be desired. First though, the positives. Will Smith is very charismatic and knows how to play Will Smith. Margot Robbie is terrific as Harley Quinn. Acting-wise, she is hit-and-miss in the film. However, in terms of playing Harley Quinn, she was born to play the role. I loved June Moore. Cara Delevigne did well as her. She struggled as Enchantress, but I loved June Moore. I really liked Jared Leto as the Joker. I loved the gangster take on it, which certainly plays into David Ayer's sensibilities, but I enjoyed it. That said, I would have either gone full Joker or cut him entirely from the film. He was a bit like filler in my mind. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed the middle of the film. The film moves past the classic rock music and the character introductions to truly find its groove. Here, it is imperfect, but thoroughly fun and enjoyable. That is, until the end.

Now the negatives. The film often plays as if David Ayer loved classic rock and had longed to make a music video for these songs. Unfortunately, he was misled into thinking this was a good time to do so. As a result, the songs are entirely distracting and take away from the film. They frequently pull you out of the movie and focused solely on the movie. The opening showcases this as they try to introduce the characters. The character development also sucked. Suicide Squad forgot there were more characters than Deadshot and Harley Quinn apparently because nobody else got any attention, especially Slipknot(?). If you were not aware of any of the characters beforehand (as was the case for me), you wee entirely SOL. The character interactions were also dreadful, particularly when Killer Croc is involved. The dialogue was poor for everyone from beginning to end, but his was a special kind of horrible. I physically cringed every time he opened his reptile mouth. The other characters' dialogue were also bad, but not as bad. Captain Boomerang was also entirely useless. He throws boomerangs twice, but both fail. His little unicorn was far more enjoyable than him. This said, I am glad that only Deadshot and Harley Quinn got any attention at all, because the rest were horrific actors. They did not need any more lines to deliver poorly. The ending also leaves a lot to be desired. Though I loved June Moore, I wish they had not used Enchantress because this ludicrous, off-the-wall, and thoroughly unenjoyable ending is sadly impossible to avoid. I do not know how else to end it, so I wish they did not choose her as the villain. That said, the special effects regarding her were solid, though they felt like they were straight out of the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies. Finally, the movie just felt oddly ordered. There was no flow between scenes. Instead, they smashed into one another (much like in Batman v. Superman) where they barely related to one another. It was almost as if Ayer came up with some cool ideas for scenes, but had no idea how they related to the plot or what order to put them in. So, he shot them and figured the editors could somehow work miracles with the nonsense he shot. Unfortunately, editors are not miracle workers. Thus, for this, I do not blame editing. Unlike Batman v. Superman in which there was a good film desperately trying to come out only to be killed by Zack Snyder, there is no good film underneath Suicide Squad. Instead, there is only disappointment and David Ayer failing spectacularly at telling any kind of worthwhile story with this set of characters. This is very unfortunate, considering I was really hoping that Suicide Squad would be really good. Even after the reviews, I hoped I would like it. Yet, here we are. Though it may be enjoyable, Suicide Squad is a bloody mess.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh boy! Ohhhh boy!! Suicide Squad has to be one of the worst movies of the year. Suicide Squad is directed by David Ayer (who is usually good) and stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman along with a host of other good actors. The problems with Suicide Squad starts with the plot. The original comic's had the villains carrying out political murders and other types of covert operations. They were NOT saving the world from a witch thing and her CGI brother. I guess it would have been okay if the villain was a well thought out character. Instead, we're "treated" to little character development and a clíche evil plan. Not to mention the villain looks like she's hula dancing 50% of the time. It takes the ending of "Ghostbusters", "The Amazing Spider-Man" and countless other films by going with the whole "beam into the sky" thing. The film also feels the need to have an exposition dump at the beginning of the film in the sloppiest way possible. They should've just showed us files on each the character. Oh. Wait. That's what they did!! They literally opened files and gave us basic info on several of the characters. Only the important ones. The other members received nothing which didn't really matter because one of them got killed in five minutes anyway. However, Katana didn't die probably because she never did anything at all. No development besides knowing her husband's soul is inside her sword. The soundtrack isn't even that good. It's like listening to the Top 50 charts for three hours. Finally, we get to the acting. It's all decent. Viola Davis gives the only great performance as Amanda Waller (a pretty scary one as well). Will Smith and Margot Robbie are both good, but Smith is just charismatic. It's not like he's that great playing the actual character. Robbie doesn't steal the show as many people thought she would. I think it has to do with the fact that Joker is in the movie for about 15 minutes. That's right. We were teased for a year that he would be a big part of the film and he's hardly in it. From what I say, Leto is okay, but not great. The big problem is the portrayal of his and Harley Quinn's relationship. It could've have been a great dynamic, but they cut out the part of the relationship where Harley grovels for attention, and Joker abuses her. It would've have provided a much needed dynamic that we never got. Instead, the director pretty much asked you to sympathize with Joker when he lost his girlfriend to prison. In the end Suicide Squad is a huge mess. Bad writing, a poor plot and only decent acting make it another failure in the DCEU. It could've have been fresh, strange and fun, but instead it devolves into a clíche ridden disaster. I give it a 1/10. Save your money and go buy a DVD disc of The Dark Knight.… Expand

This version of the joker is the worst and that's including ALL the jokers, from comics to cartoons to movies, ever. He actually does a Phyllis Diller laugh (a female comedian from the 50's). If you don't believe me, check her out on YouTube.
I think this is one of the most black-washed, violently racist movie I have seen in a while. The absolute worst, and the performance that made me lose all respect for him, came from Will Smith. I love the guy and have most of his films. When he took a gun and pointed it at a white cops head, in this time of real life death, where blacks are killing whites because of the color of their skins, for him to do this is unforgivable. He is a role model. Does he agree with the killing and violence? I guess so. Remember, this is a movie. That cop could have easily been black, but no. Instead you get the angry black man pointing a gun a a policeman's head. How anyone can be so stupid is confusing. How can anyone with a slogan that includes "lives matter" justify murdering? How can a race that complains of being treated bad because of the color of their skin treat others bad because of the color of their skin? I think the cumulative average IQ of the murderers and looters must be in the low 60's or so. How does looting stores and burning down businesses help their cause? This nation is crazy and the BLACKS HAVE DESTROYED EVERYTHING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED SINCE 1960 with "our" president encouraging them. Wow, what a crazy time to live in.
In all this is a stupid move that shouldn't have even been made and I truly feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to watch/enjoy it.… Expand

Went in expecting Gold and left having seen something not even close to Bronze. The movie starts off with a bang, bringing us the excitement that the trailers would have us believe, but then after only 1/3 of the way through it turns bland, boring, predictable and just a mess, kind of like Batman v Superman only swapping the end with the start.

Full marks go to Margot Robbie and Will Smith for putting in great performances as Harley Quinn and Deadshot. All in vain though. The film failed those two. Everyone else felt like an extra. There wasn't even enough of the Joker to even have an opinion on him. Biggest letdown of the year so far.… 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

Do not watch this movie.Let me preface this by saying I'm not one throw out low scores to films just to spite them because I didn't enjoy a movie. Suicide Squad really is a bad movie. I found it to be a hard 2 with little to redeem it.

Do not watch this movie. It's the most dead on arrival pile of garbage I've seen since Jupiter Ascending. I was excited for this movie like everyone else. It looked like a blast! Once we got a Batman v. Superman that left me saying "Meh" I became a bit worried and even more so after the mixed reviews for Suicide Squad came rolling out. But I went to see it anyway secure in the idea that even if it wasn't good it would at least be a fun little ride and a fine way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon.

Boy, was I wrong.

I could go on and on about all the problems SS has but I'll save us both some time and just go over what it does well.

1. The acting was fine from the main cast. Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller in particular stood out. Will Smith seems to be gaining some praise for his performance but I think people are confusing his Deadshot being a central character as him giving a good performance, because I thought he really phoned it in and it was completely lacking in the Smith charisma he's known for.

2. Enchantress looked cool, at least when she wasn't dancing an unexplained portal weapon into existence like a goof.

3. That's it. Yep. Solid acting with a few exceptions and a cool *looking* villain.

So what's bad about SS? Literally everything else. Story was flat. Dialogue was bad. Laughable at times and not laughable when it was supposed to be ("I'm beautiful!" says Killer Croc "Grooaaan. Why are you even in this movie?!" says me). Pacing and editing all over the place. Simply riddled with plot holes. It's just bad and worse than that, it isn't even fun. Thirty minutes in I was bored. An hour into it I was debating on leaving, and by the time the credits rolled I was so happy it was over. Not only to end the boredom but also so I could "Boo" it. I've been going to the theater for 25 years and this is the first movie I've ever actually booed. Save yourself ten bucks. Watch the "Bohemian Rhapsody" trailer again. There, you just saw a better version of Suicide Squad than the actual movie. Ugh.… Expand

Not only that, but I was actually one of the nut jobs standing out in the rain at midnight, waitingNow before people start screaming about shutting me down, keep in mind, that I've promoting and talking about this film for over a year now. Not only that, but I was actually one of the nut jobs standing out in the rain at midnight, waiting to see it the night it came out, and I can honestly say I am disappointed. First of all, how do you make a film like this and not go all out for the R rating? Second, isn't there something wrong with a Joker who is more sexy than he is funny?

Let's get into the film. Following the events of Dawn of Justice, the government is afraid that with the death of Superman, should another meta-human come to earth, they won't be prepared to stop them, so they turned to the most skilled and deadly people they can find, the worst of the criminal element. The film starts with a rushed introduction to the characters, which is focuses on Deadshot (Will Smith). So there he is, the Fresh Prince at age 48, with the same persona he had in Independence Day, twenty years ago, telling the same type of jokes that were old then, after 8 years in Bel-Arie, and they are basically per-historic now!

After basic training and more jokes aimed at thirteen year olds, they are dropped into the city and dredge on to their main object. Exactly like Katniss Everdeen in Mockingjay Pt. 2, except at least then there were some decent special effects and they weren't fighting big globs of **** The story here is so basic that it's laughable, the make-up was better than the special effects, and the humor that was supposed to make this movie a classic just isn't there. That's the bad, what about the good?

Jared Leto is still the perfect choice to play the Joker, unfortunately he doesn't get enough screen time, and he's not funny, if they ever let him off the leash in future DC films, I'd image he'd give a performance that would rival that of Heath Ledgers. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn is the breakout star of the film, and really the only one worth watching in this mess of madness, as she was genuinely entertaining, and may actually be able to use this film as a launching point for a very promising future. I also loved seeing Joel Kinnaman of the Killing, finally get some of the attention he deserves, as he's always great and deserves a lot better than Robocop.

The bottom line is that the Suicide Squad should have put DC right up there with Marvel, but it falls flat on it's face. There is no story, no character development, nothing that says we're catching up. While Suicide Squad is pulling in big numbers at the box office, if DC continues to disappoint us, the way they have with their last two blockbusters, that's not going to last either. It's time to take the gloves off and give the fans what they want, because this certainly wasn't it.… Expand

The rest of the Suicide Squad are forgettable, but have decent moments between them. The main flaw with this movie isn't the characters however, it is the pacing. An exposition filled introduction carries on to the point that I personally lost interest. Another issue this film seems to have is its PG-13 rating, which made most of the villainous main cast seem rather toothless at times. All in all it gets a 'Meh, you tried.'… Expand

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

The 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

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

The rest of the cast just brought it in.. Could it have been better? Yea. And I"m still giving it a 10.. DC keeps flipping everything. Superman is now dark and Villains are lighter. SO they need to fix that. But even so. This movie was still extremely fun to watch and I can't wait to buy it and Highly recommend going to watch it. Just a normal family looking for a little comic geek of a movie and got it.

Oh. Olivia who plays Amanda Waller. is THE MOST accurate of all. She is down right scary..… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Diablo has some pathos, but it is clumsily handled.

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you could take out the essence of the movie-its characters, its themes, its politics-and distill them into some concentrated entertainment, it would surely be a really great movie. As it is, it's some entertaining performances and imageryIf you could take out the essence of the movie-its characters, its themes, its politics-and distill them into some concentrated entertainment, it would surely be a really great movie. As it is, it's some entertaining performances and imagery dragged down by a variety of errors. It's less than the sum of it's parts. Still worth seeing.

The Good:
Most of the performances were strong. Gleefully over the top, but fun. The characters talk honestly and amorally. There are lots of pretty colors. There are fun little touches like one character that is a BET fan and there are serious moments where the characters' power seems perilous. The cast must be about as demographically diverse as for any big movie ever, but there is a refreshing lack of political correctness and pandering. Batman's appearances create a sense of mythos.

The Bad:
Thin writing that shows obvious plot devices like a redshirt squad member to die, a villain gratuitously shooting henchman to demonstrate villainy, and them expecting us to believe that the Joker is dead (seriously). Cara Delevingne is completely unconvincing as either a witch or as someone with a PhD. The soundtrack is too loud and too head-on-nail, and the score from Steven Price sounds too much like his last effort. There is plenty of room to question their editorial choices too. The Joker is not really in the movie any more than Batman is. Most of the good lines were already in the trailers, and there wasn't enough humor.

All told, one wishes they'd done a better job executing this movie, but there's certainly room to hope for better in DC's future movies, and there's enough here to watch this one. Don't worry about the professional critics; they seem a bit out of touch.… 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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suicide Squad had the potential to be an excellent entry to the new DC universe films, but it tries so desperately to be funny and quirky that it ends up being a cringe to watch.

The first mistake people have made with suicide squad is to compare Leto to Ledger. They are two very different Jokers. Although Ledger has been the least comic-book accurate at the time (yet still inherently perfect to Joker's character - and well represented), Leto's Joker now takes the cake.

The Joker. You didn't need screen time to determine the quality of the new Joker. Leto's performance was excellent and impressive, considering how badly and inaccurately his character was written.
The Joker is not a thug, never was. He doesn't wear bling and he surely would not act like a mob boss, hanging out in clubs. For everything he's always been, the Joker always set himself apart from common thugs without trying to. This is not the case here. Everything that he's represented as is a stereotypical thug, from the acts he performs to the idiotic design with his generic and lame tattoos. (don't believe me? Google "thug" and see for yourself).

We see a moment where he shock's Harley Quinzel's brain. Why? Harley didn't have to have her brain scrambled to become who she was, she was made by the Joker's brilliant insanity. This small little detail instantly removed any depth their relationship had by implying that Harley only sticks with him because he's physically damaged her brain, not psychologically influenced it.

Harley. Also known as, boobs and ass representative to keep little boys entertained and demean and cheapen the Harley character. There's nothing more to say than that.

Deadshot. Well, now here's the saving grace. The one character I was expecting to fail manages to pull us through. Sure there were some odd plot decisions, but essentially he was well represented and wasn't portrayed by an over-acting artist. Will Smith really shows how it's done and was lucky enough to have a well designed and written character.

Wait, there were others? Oh yes. We spend a long time getting an intro to the main characters and 10 seconds of an intro to characters that are meant to be forgotten. Slipknot? How was his death not more obvious? The "fire-y" latino. Oh yes, very smart, I see what you did there.
BvS was a great film and Ben Affleck is arguably one of the best Batman's we've seen, but considering how they've chosen to design and represent the villains I've lost a lot of hope for the new Batman franchise.

You can see that there was some inspiration taken from the excellent Assault on Arkham, but unfortunately they just couldn't create a movie near as good or with decent enough characters as that. The real suicide squad movie for any DC die-hard is Assault on Arkham, Suicide Squad is just a means to make the majority happy by giving them what they would expect.… Expand

There are too many flashbacks, too many unearned character about-faces and too little that is original or interesting in the final battle. But while it may not be the superhero film we deserve, Suicide Squad is the superhero film we need right now. Mainly this is because of the characters are just so different from the well worn superhero stereotypes we have all seen too many times. There are no Amazon princesses in Suicide Squad, no superpowered aliens, no billionaire playboy philanthropists. There are just a bunch of hard-working, down to earth gangstas, assassins and crazy people. Their idea of high style is a pimp hat or pair of eight inch heels. This group probably could not even get to Midway City without government help----- which consists, appropriately, of an ancient helicopter with one of the dumbest pilots in the world. These characters---and the good performances by the main cast---- carry the film pretty well up to the final fight which, honestly, was underwhelming. But before that, the film is entertaining and perfectly watchable. I don't understand complaints about Suicide Squad being "choppy" or "a mess". I found it a perfectly lucid story. It's not a *great* story, for reasons I have stated above. But it is perfectly understandable. Complaints about the Joker not being in the movie enough are misplaced------ this is not a story about him. Suicide Squad is about Harley Quinn and the other members of the Squad. The Joker appears only as her boyfriend. He is not a villain here or even a Shakespearean jester. He is Harley's Byronic hero. For that, his screen time is perfect. I did not care for the songs, which are too on-the-nose.… Expand
