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

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

Suicide Squad is a film that I think is ok. Not good, not bad, just ok. I think it had a lot of good points and a lot of bad points though I am not sure which one outweighs the other. I have very similar thoughts to this as I do to BatmanSuicide Squad is a film that I think is ok. Not good, not bad, just ok. I think it had a lot of good points and a lot of bad points though I am not sure which one outweighs the other. I have very similar thoughts to this as I do to Batman v Superman. The real strengths, however, are Harley Quinn and Amander Waller who I think were both perfectly captured in this film. It doesn’t spend too much time building up The Justice League movie and told its own plot in a decent way, it just missed the mark on a few occasions, most notably in the fact that there was not nearly enough of the Joker in this film, despite how he had been built up in trailers. If you are a fan of the comics, I would say give it a go although I would sooner recommend seeing Batman Assault on Arkham which is a film that did a much better job with the Suicide Squad. General movie goers and fans of Batman v Superman should probably check it out although I would urge a word of caution, this film is rated 15 for a reason, this is not a film for little kids. It’s other big weakness is the fact that the film is incredibly slow initially and doesn’t pick up the pace until the last minute mark and it still doesn’t feel like there is much back story to this DC Universe, but I think that will be fixed in time.… 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

Some of the quick pacing and the cuts can be attributed to the panel-by-panel structure of a comic book (or to poor movie-making, though I would advise against the trope of "a movie should be like this, or that" while promoting the experience of a different type of motion picture because different styles should be supported and a greater variety is always better in terms of art).

Most of the characters were kind of bland (but not bad, just not that great) except a few who were brilliant in a very unique way. Other than this I wouldn't like to spoil.

The movie is far from great but I found that it moved me in ways that most other superhero movies don't and also it's not that light of a movie. It was sick when needed, sad when needed, clear when needed, silly, action-y and over the top sometimes but each sequence could have gone longer since the beginning of the movie is like a marathon of different trailers.

I liked it and expect to enjoy an extended version if possible. I hope you guys could enjoy it as well.… Expand

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

The films plot however is really muddled at times, a lot of this due to the sheer amount of footage that was so blatantly cut out of this movie. Some characters do not receive the amount of focus they deserved. The villain of the film (Of which i will not spoil) was extremely bland and had barely any screen time to have an impact. The film also had multiple strange and sloppily edited sequences.

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

"The world changed when Superman flew across the sky... and then it changed again when he didn't" says Waller at the beginning of the film. Based on the villains from DC comics"Suicide Squad" Is As Good As The Actions Of Its Antiheros

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you're looking for a silly, fun and albeit messy ride, Suicide should more than fit the bill. Will Smith turns in a solid performance as theSuicide Squad is far from the steaming pile of s**t some (most) critics would have you believe.

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

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

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

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

Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn (outside a couple of corny jokes), and Deadshot. But I think there was a forced energyless conflict which turned out to be a lot more anti-climatic than you think, but its a satisfying end. I'd check it out if your looking for a superhero movie different from any Marvel or DC movie for that matter. A LOT better than Batman v Superman (A LOT), and I liked it more than Man of Steel at least.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, a decent movie with a few poor choices but awesome characters.

The plot was a mess, and even though the trailers made Harley Quinn out to be the main character, the movie seemed to revolve around Deadshot more, despite all of the Joker sections. I'm totally down for that, since I personally hate kooky characters who are kooky for no other reason than being kooky (my least favourite character in the new Ghostbusters was Kate McKinnon's character), but I can't hate Harley Quinn for that, because that's kind of her shtick.

However, the best part of it was not Harley Quinn, or Deadshot, or even The Joker, but Diablo.

He's a character that no one going into the theatre gave two **** about. Even my friends made a bet as to who'd die in it, and one of them betting on him, just based on his lack of comic book cred (Mind you, the other actually read the Suicide Squad comic and bet on Slipknot, so none of them lost or gained money).

But then, when it came to his backstory, you're given a character who hates himself and his powers, despite being the most physically powerful of the whole squad. You later realize why he is trying to repent for his sins, so when he . And when you get to the finale, he turns into a **** 8' foot tall flaming Tiki skeleton demon who nearly destroys a thousand-year old being.

Additionally, Captain Boomerang was everything I could ever ask for and more.

He started off as the weakest member of the team, seen as a pitiful bank robber who has no respect and has probably the stupidest weapon. He had a Unicorn fetish. Even though he had two lines, Slipknot seemed like a more legit member than he was.

But then, every time Capt. did something, he was just as useless as you thought he'd be. He loved Guiness beer; when the battle was done, he made sure he had his unicorn plushie with him; when Deadshot gave up and went to the bar, he didn't look defeated, but relieved that he could have a drink (finally); when he actually did something, his boomerang got destroyed and you could see the emotions going through his head **** I'm going to need to buy/make ANOTHER one of those! You know how hard they're to come around?!").

I kind of wish Killer Croc and Katana had more to contribute. They were kind of just there and played no real role, other than just being there.

When leaving the theatre, none of us were talking about Harley Quinn or Deadshot, but about whether Diablo's actually dead or not. We were talking about how awesomely worthless Captain Boomerang was.

The movie does feel like a rip-off of Guardians of the Galaxy, considering the upbeat take on generally villainous people, the 80s soundtrack, and the fact that it's a movie mostly about second-rate characters (even though Harley Quinn's relatively famous, she's still second to the Joker). Even Killer Croc felt like a copy of Groot, considering his lack of lines and 'not-being-a-human'-ness. However, I'm always down to re-watch GotG, and if this is just more of it, then bring it on!… Expand

The movies was OK! .... not the expected action packed DC movie that was expected ... but some solid performances, specially by Margot Robbie.
Funny and dark .... average when compared with Batman movies or Superman flick

Absolutely amazing performances, great soundtrack, good quality CGI and a terrible, terrible script. I don't know how much of it was butchered by WB, but some lines were so forced that I felt sorry for the actors. I feel like it would be much better if it was made as an R rated movie. It IS a really good movie for younger audience but I wish they went back to the Dark Knight format where the movie was not only a money maker but also an amazing piece of art. Great job to everyone who participated in making absolutely the most out of what WB allowed them to do. If you guys didn't do like you did and instead went for "pretty good" I think the current critic score (40) would be a proper note.… Expand

Don't believe all the haters. While not a masterpiece it's still fun. Yes the main villain isn't that good and some of the comedy seems a bit forced but if you go in not wanting to hate it I think you'll enjoy it.

Amanda Waller and Harley Quinn were just a joy to watch, so was the interaction between the squad. This isn't a mind blowing universe building movie, but it did expand on the DCCU, and it did it well. I feel like this did a better job of showing/explaining tensions between the US government and meta humans better than BvS, and I can see this film tying into the future of DC heroes and their relationship with the various governments and people of the world nicely. But the editing was choppy, and although the soundtrack is great there were moments where the music fit the scene perfect, but really the flow of the film. I feel like a lot of this movie was cut, I didn't really notice that much while watching the film but it did hit me thinking back on it how obvious that was that there are pieces missing. The highs in this film are really high, some of the low moments felt off, but they didn't throw me off the high I was on. I have my odd complaints about various characters but nothing that stopped the show for me, mostly just I wanted to see certain things stick a little closer to the comics, but again nothing that stopped my enjoyment of the film. Both the plot and main villain are a very average comic book movie plot and villian, it's not too complicated or mind blowing but it's right for this genre and film. It's the kind of plot and villain you'd likely see in any of the Marvel films, standard comic book movie **** (which is why I can't wait for the solo Batman film, he's got all the good villians in his rouges gallery!). Amanda Wallers characterization was perfect for this universe, so was Harley, Deadshot, and yeah even this version of Joker is perfect for this universe. Though I do question Joker and Harleys relationship in this film, it's again, not a show stopper. I wanted to give this movie an eight or nine because it is such a fun film, and I loved finally seeing Harley on the big screen played by such a talented actress but the editing and missing pieces mean it's an seven for me. I still highly, highly recommend seeing it one of the only films I truly enjoyed seeing this year!… Expand

In fact, it's a pretty fun movie carried by its magnificent cast of characters. The actors really do give it their all; Will Smith isn't just being Will Smith cosplaying as Deadshot, he's a fun somewhat new interpretation of the character that really works in favour of the movie. He's comical when appropriate and serious and engaging when the story calls for it - you really get the sense that this is a good guy who uses his talent to better the life of his daughter. It just so happens that his talent is being really, exceptionally good at shooting people. You immediately gravitate towards Deadshot as the audience can relate to him in many ways, and he injects much needed humour into the DCEU. Now I'm not saying that the DC movies need to be Marvel levels of funny, in fact I prefer the darker tone of DC, but human being naturally are quite humorous even in dark situations so it appropriate for some characters to make humorous comments like real people do. Margot Robbie embodies Harley Quinn and does the character immense justice. She's beautiful and crazy and that's just what we wanted. I cannot fault her performance at all. My only issue is with her characters physical design; I find her outfit incredibly skimpy just for the sake of making it skimpy. I know she's hot in the comics I would have just preferred a more decent outfit - love the tattoos though. And her relationship with the Joker is by far the best thing in this movie, I just wish we'd seen more of it. Jared Leto is phenomenal as the Clown Prince of Crime and now all I want is more Joker. Specifically his relationship with Harley. Jai Courtney, an actor who is basically terrible in everything he is in is wonderful in this movie. He's funny and charismatic and just overall a great presence in the movie, although in terms of actually aiding the team in combat, he's a bit useless. The other members of the Squad are all great just some like Killer Croc are very under-utilised which is sad, because he was a great character. In terms of story, the first half of the movie is fantastic; from the way they introduce that characters, to assembling the squad, to readying for the mission is all superb. Where the movie faulters is in the villain, specifically their motivations. They're just evil because why not. Like "let's destroy the world with no explanation other than we're p evil using a machine that will take awhile to work giving the heroes (or in this case bad guys) time to stop us" kinda evil. The final act of the movie is also rather disappointing. When the squad fight the muhaha evil guys they don't work as a team each using their powers to aid them they just kinda shoot at the big bad than leave one guy to take it on while the others stand perfectly still and watch. It's really underwhelming. Despite the crappy last act the chemistry between the team is enough to keep you invested and carry the movie through to the end in a movie that isn't terrible and in a movie that isn't fantastic, just in a movie that is fun and mostly enjoyable. Suicide Squad is a real step I the right direction for the DC franchise. Let's all look forward to Wonder Woman and Justice League because this movie proves there's still hope.… Expand

2/1/2 STARS OUT OF 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IF your going into this movie, thinking your going to get what you've seen in the comic books? Boy! will you will be disappointed. But IF you go in, with very low expectations, however. You'll be pleasantly surprised:) Will Smith was really good as DeadShot and Margot Robbie was good as Harley Quinn. And Viola Davis was really good as Amanda Waller. Now it was recently learned , that this movie was edited together horribly. And yes that can make world of difference, In the final movie. I have listened to a lot of people complain as to what they hated? But I have yet to hear , what they liked about Suicide Squad. Besides , the actors. It was loud and it was dumb , and it was fun:) Kinda like the first TMNT. DC doesn't have the best track record , when it comes to comic book movies either. No, Marvel owns that title. But DC is best on the small screen, from the DC TV shows to movies like Batman Assault on Arkham. But at the same time, Marvel could make a bad live action movie and, it could easily be flipped. So IF you go into Suicide Squad , not over hyped? Then you'll enjoy it , for what it is. A Will Smith movie;) Peace Out!… Expand

(You can find my review for that film here as well). My issues with Batman v Superman was largely the characterization of the characters Batman and Superman. It took itself too seriously that it really was a slog to watch. I am glad to say I enjoyed my time with Suicide Squad. Its not a perfect film by any means but it had a sense of fun about it.

The comparisons to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy are inescapable. Both films feature a rag tag band of misfits who have to team up to win the day. While I do think Guardians handled it better given how niche the property is, Suicide Squad manages to handle its larger cast of characters/team fairly well.

The film does take its time to set up the backstories for each of the members which is nice to see. The way each member is presented has a nice bit of comic book flair and a distinct visual style. Take Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang for instance. It gives you a rundown of his stats and even lists his 'fetishes' which I won't spoil here.

The cast was pretty solid. Will Smith plays a great part as Deadshot and its nice to see how his arc plays out. He certainly has more character development than some of the others though they too feel pretty well fleshed out like Diablo for instance. Margot Robbie is perfect as Harley Quinn. Viola Davis as Amanda Waller is great as well. Her performance gives that character a bit of an intimidating presence. Its that presence that sells her as a character you wouldn't want to cross.

As seen in the trailers Joker is in the movie though some may be disappointed as his screen-time is somewhat limited. This is a different Joker than we are used to seeing. He is more of a mob boss than Ledger's more psychological take on the character.

The film has some pacing issues and the brakes are quickly applied to the plot in the lead up to the final act. This scene does give a bit more exposition and background for certain characters (Diablo in particular). It does serve as a catalyst for bringing the 'team' closer together though. I also had the impression the film relies on music a bit too much. While Guardians used some groovy music effectively, Suicide Squad's music selection felt haphazard.

One of the things I disliked is that Suicide Squad continues the trend of using Superman as a plot device rather than a character. Even in the trailers they pose the question "What if Superman ripped off the roof of the white house?" I will say I was glad to see that they mentioned his morals. Its just a shame that the previous divisive film BvS painted a different picture. But I digress. I feel Suicide Squad is a step forward for the DCEU and one that DC fans will enjoy (even if critics don't) I know I did.… Expand

Deadshot is awesome, Harley is a blast (the source of the tone changes), Waller is terrifying, and all of the other characters have very small moments and are kind of just there with some pizzazz. I don't think that this should have been a save the world movie, I think that they should have been sent on a shady government job under the radar.

That said i feel like the following things detracted from the overall presentation.
-The Joker - yes the Joker - he's little more than a supporting character and ultimately the performance was not as great as the hype around it. I feel like he could have just had a role in a couple of scenes as the rest of the performance and the narrative elements with him in are just weak elsewhere - he needed to be in there somewhere but he never truly finds a place in this movie.
- Captain Boomerang - Weak - ultimately his character does little and he could have just as easily been cut if it wasn't for the minor cameo to help build up the DC universe. Every second he was on screen i was bored.
-Killer Croc - not enough of him, his character was great at points and i would love to see him have seen some more skull cracking moments.
-The bad guys - What even happened to the army of them in the end did they all just give up did they return to normal lives - it could easily have been anything else other than what it was. - I'd take aliens over this.
- Navy seal guy gets a pass just barely from me as his character wasn't notable for much but filled his role adequately and got out of the way to see the characters just enough to avoid detracting from the film. The acting itself was fine but as a character him and katana are just kinda there.

But there was some good moments and if you ignore what narrative there is and focus on the action and the more notable performances it'll be more enjoyable all around.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have had a bone to pick with DC regarding Man of Steel and BvS. There is something about their interpretation of Superman that makes my blood boil. So, I was actually looking forward to Suicide Squad. It promised to be irreverent, mad and fun. My heart sank reading the critic reviews, but being a DC fan, sent up a prayer and went ahead to see the movie anyway. Boy, am I glad, I did.
First off, it isn't art. It isn't a "good" movie with all the right words, with all the right camera and editing techniques and a brilliant script.
It is, what we would in India call, a good, old-fashioned 'masala' film. It is made for the fan. So it is fun, thrilling with some fabulous laugh-out-loud moments. I loved the soundtrack. It was great seeing characters you had read as a child, come alive on screen. And I was surprised, considering DC has done a complete number on Supe (Boy Scout no more!). It was a roller coaster. Margot Robbie and Will Smith were great (I admit, I squealed a bit when Deadshot came on screen), as I did with Diablo towards the end (and with the Flash cameo). I hated Amanda Waller (read Viola Davis was brilliant) and Jared Leto did fab as the Joker. In all, a great film to unwind to and enjoy. Sure there is a lot that could have been better, especially the big bad. Waller seemed a far more formidable big bad than Enchantress. Oh well.
In all, a great kick-off point, I think, to what could (with a solid storyline) lead to a solid sequel.
A good time to address the whole critics vs fans bit maybe: The critics have set the bar really high, which is great. That means WB and DC will have to work far, far harder now to give us truly fabulous films. As fans we deserve the best. Suicide Squad wasn't the best. What it was though was good fun that kept me glued to my chair.… 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

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

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

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

overall a mediocre film with plenty of improvements to be made in a (unfortunately) lot of aspects..… Expand

While failing in many areas "Suicide Squad" succeeds as a fun action packed joy ride even if it has major flaws. No its not an "amazing movie" but its a movie you should get popcorn, drinks, and a friend and have fun.

I did consider giving this an 8/10, but the problem is the more I watched it out of the theater, I sort of lost my vibe with it a bit. But I still consider it to be a bit of an above average movie. Will Smith had quite a strong role in this movie, which I for sure dig. And the rest of the squad is pretty sweet, too. But even then I still feel like there were a few disappointments in the movie. But personally, they weren't that bad of disappointments. Trying to keep away from spoilers is challenging, because it seems anything in this movie can be a spoiler. I found that to be quite unfortunate, too. Because it's hard to keep a dedicated conversation in a movie like this. Even giving somebody that hasn't seen the movie a summary seems to be too much, too. Which does give off a bit of a blank slate in this movie. But hey, at least it got an Academy Award for Best Makeup.
TL:DR: 8/10 Worthy, but a few obstacles brought it down one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is quite an entertaining watch, in terms of the CGI/visual effects and action scenes, although I did feel the plot wasn't always entirely clear and I did feel like the film dragged a bit towards the end. However, I liked the range of characters and their different personalities - most notably the Joker and of course Harley Quinn. I was somehow surprised to see Will Smith playing Deadshot. The (superhero, or, more accurately, super-villain) characters made me think of the Fantastic Four. It's very much got a hyperactive and energetic feel to it, not just with the action scenes but with information provided in neon text shown, if anything, frustratingly briefly and with some scenes featuring bright lighting.

It's quite watchable, with decent battle scenes and the like and some amusing situations/moments but it's not the sort of film I'm likely to remember a great deal about shortly after seeing it. It's an entertaining watch with decent enough performances and the like and I imagine if you're a fan of the original comic books then you'd appreciate this (perhaps more than I do). Certainly not bad, I'd recommend this, if it appeals to you, yes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Второй самый недооценённый фильм кино вселенной DC (после бэтмена против супермена на заре справедливости). Многие ругают этот фильм за ВСЁ! Хотя мне лично он понравился, сразу говорю, никакого ВАУ эффекта не будет, от фильма вы быстро отвыкнете, но это не значит то что он плохой, но и сверх хорошим его тоже я не могу назвать. В первую очередь для меня главное в фильмах это сюжет, в этом фильме сюжет настолько прост, что в середине фильм превращается в обыкновенный шутер, и диалоги, за которыми интересно наблюдать, битвы конечно тоже выполнены не плохо, но когда всё смотришь на них без всякого разнообразия, тебя это уже не забавляет. Ещё из минусов отметил бы графику, спецэффекты которые на момент 2016 года выглядели не плохо, но не современно, сейчас же это смотрится просто терпимо. Ещё фильм ощутился мне каким до не полноценным, филлером, хотя это не так, опять таки это из за слабого сюжета. За что реально можно похвалить картину - это персонажи и их актёрский состав, и саундтрек, он просто шикарен, особенно главная музыка фильма, которая начинает проигрывать в первых титрах.… Expand

Although it wasn't particularly horrible, there was definitely room for improvement. It wasn't really essential for the movie's start to spend so much time demonstrating how the various criminals were apprehended. Then, as the action began, much of it was too dark, making it difficult to see what was going on. Although these characters are supposed to be super-villains, the film didn't seem particularly violent. It would have been great if it had been as vicious as "Kick-Ass" or even "Dredd," but I suppose the producers wanted it to have a PG-13 rating. The cast is sufficiently sturdy; ROBBIE MARGOT

Director David Ayer faces the challenge of introducing and integrating ten major characters to an audience who may not be familiar with the comics. While Ayer mostly succeeds, the film struggles with "Hobbit Syndrome" where there are too many peripheral characters who are underdeveloped. Some characters, like El Diablo and Killer Croc, are entertaining but not given enough depth to truly make an impact. The villains of the movie are also underwhelming and unmemorable, with the exception of Viola Davis' portrayal of Amanda Waller as a ruthless government operative. Will Smith and Margot Robbie shine as Deadshot and Harley Quinn, respectively, providing both humor and depth to their characters. The visuals of the film are striking and vibrant, but the editing and pacing of the film can be disjointed at times. Overall, Suicide Squad has its moments of entertainment but falls short in its character development and villain execution.

Also Jared Leto's Joker isn't that terrible I personally thought he was fun to watch just because of how silly he was and how much I couldn't take him seriously in comparison to, let's say, Heath Ledger's Joker. To me he was enjoyable to watch because of how cringe and goofy he was.

It's never boring, the characters are fun, and it had a little something for everyone. The flaws? The Amanda Waller role was horribly mis-cast with Viola Davis - either that, or she had horrible direction. The Waller role in the CW's "Arrow" was filled in SUCH better fashion by that actor, whoever she is. The biggest problem with this film is the "bad guys" - totally abstract and amorphous - nothing really to root against. And by making them those walking blobs, you never have any blood, and you preserve that PG 13 rating. Highly Wussy. All that being said, Smith and Robbie are fantastic, and they absolutely carry the film. Oh, and did I mention the fact that this movie is MUCH better than Captain America: Civil War from earlier in the year? that one also bored me to death with all the long, slow conversations. Suicide Squad has style, great music, and personality. Worth seeing, indeed.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie wasn't too bad honestly. Maybe because I went in with lower expectations that helped.

PROS

-Viola Davis is a great Waller, she really personified the role.
-Jai actually found a role he's great for and he doesn't have to change his accent! He was pretty funny throughout the film even if I couldn't understand him at times.
-Will Smith was definitely one of the better characters and it didn't feel like he was trying to steal the spotlight.
-The team dynamic worked and they all played well off each other.
-I personally really liked the soundtrack.

CONS

-Didn't like the Enchantress tbh and I didn't think she made a good villain.
-The pacing was messy as **** Enchantress was an accquantice then suddenly went to big bad in about a minute, there were several times where I was just left confused as to what was going on as some scenes didn't flow or give the audience enough time to justify it.
-Some quips felt really forced and because of that lost their humour.… Expand

The acting is solid (The first time I've ever thought Jai Courtney was good!!!) and the sound track is pretty good to but narratively the whole thing plays out like a movie adaptation of a video game that doesn't exist.
The first half raised my expectations high featuring a cool recruiting montage with the exposition weaved in pretty smoothly but about half way through you start to notice some really choppy editing.
Like I say, the actors all do a good job but the characters motivations and morality all get really jumbled up and the relationship between the Suicide Squad members is kind of jarring. They barely even know each other and then about an hour into the film suddenly they become incredibly close out of no where, as if there was an important bonding scene for them that was cut out at the last minute and they didn't have time to smooth it over.
The villain is nothing special really. She has the same plan that several other comic book movie villains have had in the past few years, that being to use an army of disposable drones to take over the world with the help of a giant blue beam shooting into the sky (because we haven't seen enough of those.)
Jared Leto's Joker is cool but he's barely in it. After they've been hyping this character up for over a year I was expecting more than 7 or 8 minutes.
There's fun to be had with this film, it has good moments and it looks pretty but it's just kind of a mess. All the raw components are there to make a quality movie but it just feels really cobbled together.… Expand

Here's what they did wrong.

- Weak plot
- Corny one liners (some cringe worthy)
- Questionably written dialog (introduction of Katana is almost unwatchable)...
- Action is bland and generic for the most part.
- Tone issues (tries to be too serious at times and is generally not funny despite the effort).
- The first quarter and 3 quarter of the movie seem to drag on too long with out much going on
- Villains are forgettable and have no depth or reasonably explained motivation.
- Where are the "Bad Guys"? Harley and Deadshot both have way too much of a conscience for the mass murders they are supposed to be.

Now 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, 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

However, the films plot is nonexistent, the villain and her Ghostbusters/Amazing Spider-Man-esque action setup is pretty bland, the direction and editing are poor, and the soundtrack is totally hit or miss (almost trying to hard to replicate Guardians of the Galaxy).

The movie was character-centric and thus the movie's value is tied closely to the quality of the characters. Will Smith saved the movie as Dead Eye.

Will Smith saved the movie as Dead Eye. The Joker was underwhelming and played too minor of a part. Harley Quinn was hit and miss with the dialogue but provided descent quirky acting and facial expressions. The other villains were fairly bland and quiet for better or for worse. As for the main two villains who the Suicide Squad is trying to take down, they are undeveloped as characters and just generic old gods trying to destroy the world.

All that being said, the movie also had strong visuals accompanying the action with effects and coloring more of the movie industry I feel should look into applying in their movies. It is nice to see a movie willing to dare to be colorful and visually pleasing in a modern movie industry composed chiefly of grey and brown action flicks.… Expand

When I saw Suicide Squad in the theater I thought it was a decent action movie. I thought it was a nice return to form for Will Smith. I thought Margot Robbie was a real scene stealer.

I thought Margot Robbie was a real scene stealer. I got a new movie crush in Joel Kinnaman; and Viola Davis proved to me she's not only a badass on How to Get Away with Murder. I didn't read the comics so going into the movie I didn't have expectations. I was curious how Jared Leto was going to take over the role of the Joker. While I don't think anyone could do what Heath Ledger did in The Dark Knight; I did think Leto had an interesting take on the character. I caught the extended cut and found it to be better then the theatrical version. I wouldn't say Suicide Squad is a great action movie, but it's not a bad one either. It has it's good moments. It's a decent movie.… Expand

Another DC film that has some real fun interesting moments, but the film itself is all over the place. This is what you get when you give a talented guy like David Ayer only six weeks to write a script. Also a different hit song every two minutes was to much. Final negative the villain is sub par. The 6 comes from the squad itself who I really liked and The Joker who was great. B-… Expand

Well, Suicide Squad is fun when you ignore the issues it face. This DC tent-pole should have been the counterpart of Marvel's Guardians of the galaxy back in 2014.

This DC tent-pole should have been the counterpart of Marvel's Guardians of the galaxy back in 2014. Secondly it was also considered as something that drives DCEU into the safe zone as BvS was considered a miss with the critics, although financially hit.

Let's do the short breakdown. Jared Leto's potential is wasted here. The movie has snippets of Joker joined together when there should have been a continuous non-narrative flashback sequence with Dr. Quinzel aligning it with Quinn's introduction. The muddled screenplay driving the plot out of the Squad team targeting their antagonist is what affects this movie as a whole beyond redemption.

The movie scores with Deadshot-Quinn duo much better, even with finite amount of screen time. Jai Courtney's Boomerang suffers high volume of injustice. The only thing that lifted this movie's spirits were the mid credits scene that links it with DCEU supposedly advancing further. I'd still give the movie a 6/10 and it deserves nothing more.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suicide squad is the latest movie in the DCEU which at this point has had 3 movies to its name: Man Of Steel, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Now out of all of them I have seen 2 of them, Man of Steel and this and while I think Man Of Steel isn't the best, I still enjoyed the film but this review isn't on Man of Steel it's about Suicide Squad, So I'll get into what I liked and disliked about the film

What I liked:
+The Acting was actually pretty good, the girl who played Deadshot's daughter wasn't the best but child actors never really are in movies like these but as for the main cast, they did a pretty good job at doing their characters based on what material they were given
+ The second half of the movie fairs better than the first half which is more dedicated to the origins of these characters which it takes way too long to do but the second half while it does have some useless sections, The second half is alot these jumbled than the first and makes alot more sense (I'll get into that in the other half)
+ Most of the action scenes are cool and fun, There's a bit with Deadshot near the beginning of the movie where he is given a gun to show off his skills which is set to Kanye West's song "Black Skinhead" that's really fun and alot of the other scenes are fun too
+Near the end of the movie there is a scene in a bar where the characters are just given time to talk and it's easily the best scene in the film, I wish the film had more of this as it gave the characters time to flesh out their personality

What I thought was Meh
The comedy was very hit and miss for me, Some of the Jokes were quite funny (The bar scene mentioned earlier had some good ones) but some of them were just god awful. When Rick Flag uses his phone to blow up SlipKnot, Harley Quinn literally says "Now, that's a killer app". It's as cringy as it sounds
Soundtrack was good but it just felt like they shoved all the songs in at the beginning and some of them just don't work with their scenes

What I disliked
-The first half of the film specifically was a mess. Amanda Waller pitches the idea of a team twice in 2 separate scenes which is preceded by 2 scenes kind of introducing Harley Quinn and Deadshot but then Introduces them again in the next scene aswell as introducing some of the other members of the team (But not all of them) and then introduces most of them again in the next scene when they're walking through the prison again (Deadshot gets like 2 scenes which explain he's good with guns and like 20 explanations about it) and we get told multiple times about how The Enchantress is 2 people through many different scenes and when all the characters are introduced it cuts to scenes that seem to be flashbacks but were obviously going to be the original prologue telling us how they became who they are

-Like I said earlier the 2nd half is better but it still has it's moments. There's a point where Harley looks down a staircase and we get a scene of Joker and Harley when Harley falls into an ace chemicals thing that adds barely anything to the film. Right before the bar scene we get the 'Revelation' that Enchantress is evil even though we the audience already knew this which would be fine if it didn't flashback to a scene explaining it even though we already saw most of it earlier in the film except earlier they just cut out the middle of the scene and added a Joker scene which again had no point

-Joker had barely any point of being in the movie, it would of been better if they properly gave Harley her original origin and that's not even mentioning how this Joker is kind of boring

-The Pink Unicorn Fetish joke that Captain Boomerang had was obviously taken from Deadpool

-This is more the Harley, Deadshot and El Diablo show more than anything. Katana, Killer Croc had barely anything useful to do and it feels like they were just shoved in there. Captain Boomerang is better but he doesn't really get much to do even, He kills like 2 people the entire movie and uses one of his boomerangs as like a camera drone and that's pretty much it

All in all Suicide Squad wasn't the best movie I have ever seen, but if they release a cut of the movie without the obvious studio interference (I've heard the film was edited by a trailerhouse) I'd gladly watch it again and probably enjoy it more. 6/10… Expand

Suicide Squad, while having its moments, was a disappointment. The film lacked depth and needed a far more compelling story line to draw the audience in. Their were also far too many characters resulting in us caring about none of them.Suicide Squad, while having its moments, was a disappointment.

This is the worst Joker in the movies: too freaky. Compare this one with Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger or Joaquin Pheonix... Also the character of Amanda is annoying.

Other than that the movie is just average, especially the plot. The action scenes are ok.… Expand
