David Ayer made some choices that make the first 20 minutes of the film drag, and result in some things that should pay off later sort of fizzling or being a bit head-scratching.

I came to the conclusion that this movie feels like the collision of two different films - a "Dirty Dozen"-type Suicide Squad film, and a Harley Quinn origin story - haphazardly edited together. Consequently, neither story got quite enough screentime to feel complete, the intercut flashback sequences interrupt the flow of the film, and some of the characters get short shrift.

The film does a few things very well (Enchantress is spooky as hell, Harley is crazy a.f., and some of the effects for various powers are pretty cool, f'rinstance), and it was fun to watch despite the problems. 6.5/10… Expand

I thought that Suicide Squad was a fun, action packed and funny movie. The characters are likable (Joker, Harley Quinn and Deadshot anyone?), the cast does a fantastic job playing their roles, the action is badass and the humor is funny. The only problem i had with the film is that how much screen time Joker got. He was 2nd top billed and was shown a lot in the trailers but yet he is only in the film for like 15 minutes! There were more Joker scenes but they were cut from the film. I hope we get to see the deleted Joker scenes. Overall, i enjoyed this film and i look forward to seeing more of the Suicide Squad in the future! I HIGHLY recommend people to watch this film cause they are gonna have a hell of a fun time!… 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

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

hero movies I have ever seen... nope, it is THE worst. An abysmal
insult to the intelligence of an average person. Every move is totally
predictable. It is filled with clichés and has absolutely nothing one
could say in it's favour. The roles played by the villain heroes were
all cardboard cut-outs and you felt you could write their next line
before they even spoke it, it was THAT BAD. One becomes so conscious of
the contrived, staged nature of this "badass team" that you can almost
hear the director/hairstylist/set dresser running around just off
camera. Suspended belief is usually because a story is so fantastical
that you make allowances for the way laws of physics can be broken, and
you still become enchanted, wrapped up in a movie that has merit. This
movie has none, and the suspended belief I found myself having to
constantly endure and overcome was the belief that this was a story
worth caring about. So shallow and vacuous is this plot that all you
can see is a movie that fails dismally at drawing you in. I did not
care at all about the characters, their loved ones, their children...
1/10 is generous.… Expand

I figured an appropriate celebration of my complete and utter apathy forI was wondering when my fatigue with Superhero films would finally subsume my curiousity to watch any "new" films and, credit to Suicide Squad, I'm finally there.

I figured an appropriate celebration of my complete and utter apathy for anything with "superhero" in the description, culminating in an outright boycott of any future films, would be to look at the example to "rule them all." -- Suicide Squad.

First of all, I read books and not comics, so yes, I'm one of them. I hold no real nostalgia or interest in lycra-clad adults with "powers", alternate timelines, or comic lore as described by those who invest waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too much in defending the culture with deaf ears. I have seen the majority of what has released so far, including the best example of adaptation for us non-comicoes, piloted by Christopher Nolan. Since then, I have glossed over the various iterations from popular PG to unknown R, taking away nothing from the menagerie, except how many smaller budgeted films could have succeeded or failed in place of them. No money was spent.

Suicide Squad is a mess--an uninteresting, unfunny, unfocused mess. The stench of studio interference hangs heavy here, potentially supported by late game re-shoots (not uncommon) and varying articles after the fact. Who cares--as the consumer of your entertainment, I am more interested in the finished product than the behind the scenes drama that signals another Hindenburg. When interest in the drama offscreen supersedes onscreen, then you've lost.

We've all lost, in fact: money, time and interest. None of this will affect box office as nostalgia, curiosity, and fresh-faced comic fans with underdeveloped film skills are in near constant supply. Opening weekends will continue to mis-align with critical reception--the world keeps on turning.

I could go into detail on this film but, really, why? There isn't any.

If your a comic book fan then you're already shaking your head and formulating an apologists view (couldn't care less about Marvel vs DC), and if your not, then you likely don't care whether it's good or not #margotrobbiehungrybum. Either way, it's just another portal opening, world ending, good vs evil in spandex tale, liberally smeared in cgi. No thanks, not any more.

Another portal opening, world ending, fan servicing, superhero film, forced into the same mold as the others.… Expand

Action: fun and occasionally very memorable like any number of kick-A deadshot scenes.

Comedy: admittedly, spoiled by the trailers

Cinematography: I'm no expert, but some of it fell flat when it was trying to be flashy and some of it rocked. But too close up sometimes

characters: Best part about the movie, nuff said, find out for yourself.

Writing: not stellar but certainly not cringe-worthy often enough to matter.

Performances: the other best part about the movie. Will smith kills and so does margo robbie. Jered Ledo was ok, i can respect his take even if it's not my favorite.

Villains: One wasted villain, one perfect villain and one that surprised me. No spoilers.

was this movie amazing? not quiet. Did i have fun? hell yes. Would i see it again? on DVD for sure. should you go see it? Absolutely. Even if it's not groundbreaking, it's a good time and part of an intriguing new cinematic universe.… Expand

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

Will Smith was also, surprisingly, very good as Deadshot! Jared Leto, unfortunately, was not good as the Joker. He was too weird, and yes, I know the Joker is weird. He just felt like the wrong type of weird. He also cared WAY too much! The Joker is supposed to be the prime example of an abusive boyfriend to Harley and has no problem with Harley getting hurt or even dying. In "Suicide Squad" he felt very romanticised. Also, the conflict that the squad was supposed to combat was too large of a force, bringing into question why the established superheroes aren't intervening. That's how big the problem was. Simply the Suicide Squad is supposed to save the world, which makes you wonder, "Why isn't Batman or the Flash running across this? Did they take the night off?" And the rest of the members of the Suicide Squad: Killer Croc, El Diablo, Capt Boomerang, and Katana had basically no development. All the focus was on Harley and Deadshot. All in all: very fun, great performances (excluding Leto), poor writing and story. Definitely recommend if you like superhero/action movies.… Expand

The cast is likable and I really enjoyed Robbie as Harley Quinn; and I may be in the minority here, but I really, really liked Delevingne as Enchantress!!! What I didn't like was the music in the first hour was so over-powering. It became too much of a distraction even eclipsing some of the dialogue. And like I said, the choppiness of the movie becomes equally annoying. It goes back and forth from present to flashbacks as well as flashing descriptions of characters that go by so quickly, you don't have a chance to read them all. It's because of these faults I can't give the movie a 7.

Still with all its faults, there's enough action to satisfy, and Leto as the Joker is very entertaining. He may not have a lot of screen time but he has enough screen time to make the character work. Leto and Robbie have great chemistry together. It may not be a great movie but it's still worth watching!… Expand

Suicide Squad is a very fun movie and very entertaining but i couldn't help but feel disappointed.

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

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

There is an amazing movie in here somewhere but just didn't show up.… Expand

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

It shows aYet again the incompetent hack writer/director here proves beyond any doubt to be utterly unfit to be directing any kind of feature films. This wretched, miserably boring mess is an inexcusable masquerade for a motion picture. It shows a total lack of story craft that is typical of this idiot's sloppy work. The characters are weak and unmotivated. The story begins about half a dozen repetitive times and launches into pronounced music video style song over and over ad nauseam. Talk about a lack of cadence, dynamics, and most importantly structure!
As for annoying details, somebody tell the moron that when you flash up a lot of text on screen it needs to stay up at least for a few seconds so some of the audience can read just some of it. It's annoying as s--- how fast it's cut and shows a lack of perceptual understanding of cinema. Nor do the jackass producers and no balls monkey studio execs understand this or are asleep at the F------ wheel as is so typical these days! Worthless dopes. And tell numb nuts wearing the director hat that when you have only machine guns firing then show lasers everywhere it's not cool, but dumb. Very dumb. Tracers do not ever look like that. He did the same thing in the lousy, unrealistic "Fury" which was almost as boring as this junk due to a complete lack of storytelling ability.
This thing is so embarrassingly bad, in another era it would have been unreleasable. The monkeys in charge today not only hire proven incompetents but are so focused on the opening box office which they know the brand will deliver that they don't even bother to question obvious flaws. We are in the age of mindless auto-manufacture of motion pictures.

If you care about movies you should rail against the stream of s--- now becoming par for the course in Hollywood. It's sad how far the bar has been lowered for today's audience who seem to just go along with what Hollywood dishes out like a flock of grazing sheep. These zombies ruin the level of quality for the rest of us. The morons on here who like this movie because they like the comic book should actually be the ones crying foul the loudest that it was utterly ruined by hacks, but instead they stick up for it because... well they're mostly morons.

The black light neon bright titles in the movie got me good and are the only element I liked whatsoever. Too bad they're blown on such a pitiful waste.… Expand

Cara may be new to the acting scene, but she actually looked and acted terrifyingly well. Despite this movie being about villains teaming up to be heroes, it does have a fair amount of heartfelt moments. It shows that even criminals have emotions and heart. This movie is by no means perfect. It has a few flaws but they don't take away too much from the experience. I got my moneys worth seeing Suicide Squad. If you're a comic book fan, go see it.

The acting of Will Smith as Deadshot and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn was incredible, the delivery of every story of each character was good and all and that smartly hidden part at the post-credits showing the real reason the Justice League is forming is also good. It is a good movie filled with "action", the thing most DC Comics movies don't have, but mixed with that horrible plot makes this movie still watchable but not worth the money. It could have been more, just sayin.… Expand

When I first read some of the reviews, I honestly could not wait to see it, just so I could defiantly disagree with the critics. However, 30 minutes into this abomination, I found myself agreeing with the reviewers more and more. The story is a mess, the antagonist is underwhelming, the stakes are not high enough, and the Joker has criminally little screen time. I mean, the Joker has so little screen time that I felt like I did not have a large enough sample size to gauge him against past portrayals of the character.

Another thing that bugged me about this film was the director. I like David Ayer, but if you have seen any of his other films (especially End of Watch and/or Fury), you'll notice that he excels in showing brutal realism. The comics books upon which Suicide Squad is based are graphically over-the-top...they are [deliberately] far from realistic. In other words, hiring Ayer to direct SS is like hiring the late, great Johnny Cash to write a rap song--there is a good chance that things are not going to work out well.

There were really two good things about this movie: Deadshot and Harley Quinn.

Also, BATMAN!!! Bumped my score from 3 to 5 because of BATMAN!!!… 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. This movie is rough and no that great, but it's a lot of fun!… Expand

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

There were funny quips and jokes, the acting was above average, but the direction and writing was unpolished. If you want to see your favorite characters on the big-screen, you'll get them. All the actors seemed to have nailed all their characters. But if you want to see them do more substantial things and actually be developed. Don't get your hopes up.

If you happen to a person that thinks the plot has holes, you're the one with holes; in your brain.

The way the music is combined with the characters was inspired and appropro. Director Mayer never spoon fed the viewer; he gave just enough info on the characters to have the viewer enjoy the show and let the superb cast 'act' their angst and backgrounds. And they did it masterfully.

The movie was an adrenaline rush and to top it off, it was loaded with multiple themes on the topics of the nature of good, bad and evil. There is sooooomuch to love about this movie and I could spend pages describing the genius of the editing and juxtaposing of scene over scene over musical score over comic book Easter egg.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is my first review ever. So lets start.First I gotta say that the main reason for me to go to the movies and watch this film is MARGOT ROBBIE. Second, Im not really a fan of superhero movies, though I know most of the comics, and all that stuff. And third, I Hate Will Smith as an actor. So, the beginning of the film was so damn awful edited, that, to me, it felt like I was watching an extended trailer, WTF???!!Ok we know that the most famous actors in this film were robbie, smith and leto, but man you gotta respect the other characters cuz they're in the squad aswell!!!So WTF with Killer croc!!??Cmon the guy doesnt even talk in the movie, all he tries to do is making roaring faces and walking with "bad behavior" like he is some kind of rapper, so stupid, so for me thats not convincing at all. I really liked The Boomerang guy, though he didnt do much either in the film, oohh thank GOD Tom hardy couldnt be in this film, he saved himself from this s**t!!Rick Flag is just a fuc*** imbecil and useless character. The japanese girl,.....WTF!!??she almost got no lines in the film...So whats with the indian lookalike guy that shows up in the middle of the film just to get killed by an APP!!!??When i watched the trailers I though that Joker would get big screen time, since he is Joker, I was lookin for to watch Jared leto performing the joker since, Heath Ledger did an AMAZING JOB at it, for me waaaay better than Nicholson. So when you hear in the news that Jared acting method was really drastic and sh****** and then you watch the movie and he is in it for like 4 min...what's that all about???So much hype about his commitment to the Joker and he barely appear in this film, what a trash!! I know he wanted to create a fresh Joker, but the result for me was s**^^%&$. Lets get quickly to Smith, so he plays the same character over and over again!!!The same face expressions!!His acting range is SO BASIC and POOR!!!Cara delevigne was so embarrasing acting like the witch ......The other villain also WTF!!?? I wonder why screenwriters put POWERFULL villans that destroy cities and when it comes to defeat the Squad, it all comes down to pushing,boxing and kicking,WTF!!!Thats so annoying and its an insult to the audience intelligence!!!why the villains doesnt use their ALL POWER SET and kill the Squad???Its basically gods against humans!!!whats the ability of Killer Croc???!!Ohh I know, just diving....and **** Margot was an 8/10 in performance, there were times that was a little bit stupid, but most of the film she was good, besides its so freshing for me, Ive never seen her play a character like this. The only reason i will get this film is because of Margot, god shes really hot!!!Its a shame, I really wanted to love this film but I couldnt, its full of cliches, specially in the fnal act. El Diablo was ok but the scene where he says ByE with flames in the air was so childish and dumb!!… Expand

I really wanted to like thisWhen what's supposed to be a fun action-packed comic book film nearly puts you to sleep multiple times towards the middle act, there's definitely a problem with the film. Sadly, this is the case with this film. I really wanted to like this film, but the the story and its organization felt heavily disjointed and the humor was lacking and I never really found myself smiling or having too much fun with the film. The actors all did a fine job with what they were given, with Will Smith and Margot Robbie being my two favorite standouts. However, the rest felt heavily cliched and Cara Delevingne's antagonist was especially cliche and cheesy. And like I said before, the middle act really brought much of the action and story to an abrupt stop and became way too dialogue-focused to the point where it was making me doze off multiple times. And in all honesty, it felt like the film was trying really hard to be a Guardians of the Galaxy wannabe with the spunky and eccentric characters, as well as its classic soundtrack. Sadly, it just didn't work for this film the way it did for Guardians. Overall, despite how exciting the film appeared, as well as its great potential, it fell rather short in all areas unfortunately. I'm beginning to lose more and more faith with each passing DC film, as this one certainly didn't help.… Expand

Here are my main thoughts:
- Characters are really cool and full of potential, but underused... the movie gives us only shallow takes into minds that seem to go deep, much deeper than what we can grasp with the movie.
- The script is also built on an interesting idea. Not only the concept of villains saving the day is cool, but the situation they are put into has a lot of room for cool stuff. The problem is that they did not explore this interesting ground. The main issue here, in my opinion, is that they did not create convincing backgrounds for the events in the movie. For instance, there is no good reason why superheroes, instead of a task force of bad guys unworthy of trust, couldn't deal with the situation... and we all know these superheroes exist in this universe.
- Generic-marvel style villain with no personality, a Pink and the Brain motivation, and whose power is not really clear to anyone, but is always convenient for the situation and the camera angle...this seems to be where superhero films are failing the most lately and SQ follows the trend.
- Really cool music work... SQ has that thing that Snyder sometimes does, building sequences framed kinda like a music video for a very cool song. Well done SQ crew!
- Really bad editing... too often it feels like some part of the dialog or a sequence is missing or out of order (and not in that cool 'it already happened, but everyone is learning about it now' flash style).

THE MAJOR FLAW. In my opinion, there's one major flaw that dumps down this movie and gets in the way of a truly nice experience as a viewer. SQ tries to find a common ground between being artsy and poetic a la Watchmen, and being down to earth and sound a la The Dark Knight - while still having the flashy-marvel moments. Although I praise experimenting, this common ground does not work and SQ was turned into a mess that clearly does not know its place. I can imagine this movie being as overwhelming as watchmen if they had gone all the way into this direction. I can also imagine they leaving all the magic and superpowers aside to make a down to earth action thriller with realistic crazy bad guys and it would have worked (I believe)! As for the marvel-flashy things.... movie makers, get over it!… Expand

Plot - Them going up against who are basically gods is just an awful choice. Their power and what they are able to do with those powers abruptly stop working when they meet their demise. You're expected to suspend more than reality but even your sense of fiction that the movie creates for you to believe the ending.
- Deadshot's background story is pretty good and Harley's is ok in some points.
- It seems like this joker actually loves harley, personally i like the version that uses her as more of a tool while she keeps crawling back with the sense that he actually does love her back. That said the joker scenes were at times cringeworthy and don't make any sense. It seemed as if the director had an image of a scene in mind (the knives circle part from the trailer) and forced his character to that point instead of having an over arching idea in mind. His actions seem absolutely nonsensical, to which you reply "BUT MR RANDOM REVIEWER HE'S THE JOKER" to which i reply the joker always has an end game. Why is he overly flashy and begging attention? why is he killing someone for no reason in public? why the hell does he drive a F&F 1 throw back lambo with purple underglow? Hell even "the batman" seems like a second thought to his love for harley... until a few scenes he just leaves her. While this is a lot about someone who wasn't the main focus of the movie he was on the forefront of marketing and had more than an end credits cameo. To say "he'll be fleshed out later" isn't a great point because this is what we have now and what we have to judge now is garbage tier.

Characters Good (sometimes) - Deadshot/harley... that's it. The characters suffer from the need of the movie to move along fast. It makes the out of no where comments from harley hit home early, but start to fall short quick when they become expected after the 10th time it happens.

Garbage - the rest of the cast especially Joel "i have one emotion" Kinneman and Cara "WHAT THE F%$& ARE YOU DOING" Delevingne. Oh honorable mention for Viola Davis who acted her script well but was written into being the actual worst person in the movie, one scene ruins the character and will have you scratching your head.

This was very similar to yet only slightly better than Batman and Robin. Neon lights, one liners, unnecessary slow motions scenes. Though not the best Joker ever, Leto's portrayal was the best thing about this movie.

Suicide Squad,Fight Club, Godzilla, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Shining, and Psycho. Do these sound familiar? They are all movies that were hated by critics, but ended up as wonderful even beloved movies, all becoming cult classics. Suicide Squad, in my opinion will fall into this group in the future. It is among my favorite movies, the only real issue I have with the movie is the Joker. He is poorly done, a mix between Heath Ledger, and Jack Nicholson's Joker may sound good on paper but falls lackluster in actual appearances. Although his role in the film is good, the acting, looks, and portrayal of the character is all around poorly done. Also huge plus on diversity in the film , with the White, Asian, Black, Latino, Australian, Psychopathic, Clown, and Crocodile people even if they are portrayed in a poor light (criminals and serial killers).… Expand

- Villains only feel and act like villains in the beginning.
- Characters motives for doing "the good thing"
- Other superheroes whereabouts is not explained
- Jared Leto's Joker feels like two guys. Sometimes he is Joker, sometimes he is a thug.
- Villains plot is a pretty generic evil plot.

The beginning part is the highlight of the movie, with colorful and different theme of music introducing the characters to us. It felt impatient of the movie rather than give us time to see how the characters develop. The actors are doing as best as they can, Maggie and Will definitely stand out from the others.

Other than that there are lots of things didn't deliver the hype. The editing and pacing from the second half are so messy, with flashbacks and cutbacks inserting to distract the audience from the main plot. It almost felt like a MTV movie with colors and music pop in at the wrong time. The tone of of the movie which was colorful and funny after the re-shoot, ironically, works against them in my opinion, as it seems odd and strange to appear in the darker universe of DC such as Dawn of Justice.

I'm sure a lot of his scenes were cut or remove due to some reasons, but Jared Leto's performance is the biggest let down this year due to the poor editing. I failed to see the Jokers's charming personalities and how he becomes the Joker and woo Harley Quinn, it's just very unconvincing for him to be the Joker and how the relationship was developed. His character, is as same as the movie, fells forced down our throats. It has the same flaws as Dawn of Justice but worst due to multiple characters and storyline.

Characters like Boomerang are interesting, but I doubt DC will ever put them in any future projects, as they are so underdeveloped in this film that nobody cares about them, except Harley Quinn, Deadshot and Joker only because the popularity.

Overall, a great film if you want to hop on the hype of the comics, but fairly disappointing movie if you expect it to launch the DC Universe and follow the footsteps of Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice. DC sadly failed to catch up it's rival company Marvel this year.… 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.

The movie was actually pretty good. The cast nailed their parts in both the serious moments as well as the parts where they can fool around and show that they do have a sense of humor.

Introductions to each character wasn't long and boring and read a lot like a page in a comic book. Meaning, the cameos (as many know to be mainly Batman and the Joker) to introduce the characters were nice and very loyal to the comic books and animated source material...a ton of easter eggs were to be found for comic book lovers that didn't take away from those who aren't well versed with the source material.

Only gripe was the villain...just seemed out of place and a bit over the top for the Suicide Squad as their introductory movie. Probably the weakest part of the film but there is a silver lining: The movie didn't waste time. We got right into the action and it didn't take away from getting to love the characters.

For the main gist of the movie being "worst heroes ever", it does score high for properly proving that in a way that provides good entertainment.… Expand

If you're a huge fan of DCNo Spoilers... Just watched the movie and for me it can be summed up in one word. Dumb. There were some good elements but overall it felt really dumb. Probably because of the reshoots and choice in editing.

If you're a huge fan of DC or just really dig on comic book movies then go see it. You most likely have already. However if your more a fan of good story telling over action and popcorn, or if you're seriously trying to decide where to spend your money I would recommend you save your money.

Without a doubt the best parts of the movie was the acting for the characters Deadshot, Harley Quin, and Amanda Waller. The effects were fine, the action was ok and over all I didn't find the movie boring the way X-men Apocalypse was.

The down side was the repetitive intro sequence, the characters they tossed in without any setup (Slipknot and Katana), overuse of flashback (and side flash) to keep the joker involved in a movie where he didn't really belong, and generally a movie that goes from zero (we're over here) to 60 (now we're over there) without taking any time to really develop a good story to place us there. There's plenty of other things to nit-pic but I'll refrain from spoilers.

My biggest hang up that I noticed during the entire run of the movie were all the moments where the movie tried to make me feel 'bad for' sympathetic towards these anti-heros. All the time I felt like someone was hammering me over the head with back story or motivations to try to make me like these murderers, gangsters, and thieves. I'd have rather they been despicable people but maybe give us an even more despicable adversary or event that makes us want to root for them.

Unlike a lot of other comic book movies that I could stand to rewatch multiple times, this is one of those that I would have to take a pass on that second time around.… Expand

There is a character who has the special ability to "climb anything." Impressive. Another is good at throwing boomerangs... Then you have some other people, a self-righteous Will Smith, faceless waves of monsters, margo robbie getting more screen time than the world should allow, some really bad acting and yes, an embarrassing Joker. The tone changes constantly, the villain is rudderless and ineffective, and the mechanism running the entire plot is an app, on a smartphone. Oh, and a character keeps top secret information in a back-to-school binder labeled "TOP SECRET," and it is not a joke.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

(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

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

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

- Coisas que eu não gostei:

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

- Considerações Finais:

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

"Onde há fumaça, há fogo".

Sure it has choppy directing, a mixed-up plot and not written well characters, But I still think it's okay.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was not horrible, but no masterpiece. Few moments in the movie really hooked me in. The parts that did hook me in did a good job. I thought act 1 was good. I liked the idea of learning the back stories to some of the major characters. Then from act 1 to the bar scene I found to be boring. The wandering through the city, and going against minions that stood no chance and were easily taken down . I liked the bar scene because of El Diablo's back story. The whole killing of his family made the scene more emotional. The final battle was OK. Wasn't too amazing, wasn't too bad.

I found this movie to be very predictable. Some examples were Amanda Waller not dying, Harley not being shot by Deadshot, the joker to be still alive, enchantress to be the villain, and the squad to win. These are just some examples.

Some pros to the movie were Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Deadshot by Will Smith, the Joker by Jared Leto (many will disagree) and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. The movie looked nice.

Some more cons are unneeded characters (slipknot), scenes that had no real explaining on why they are happening, and the lack of other squad members.

This movie is a hit or miss. Not the best work by DC… Expand

A catastrophic mess of a film, but not without its merits. It beats both MoS and BvS in at least being somehow likeable, sometimes even fun. But lets not downplay this here - it's a trainwreck on all accounts.

Many segments are edited asA catastrophic mess of a film, but not without its merits. It beats both MoS and BvS in at least being somehow likeable, sometimes even fun. But lets not downplay this here - it's a trainwreck on all accounts.

Many segments are edited as if they were the trailer for that segment, with choppy shots, incoherent pacing of conversations and a lot of feeling left out of whole sections of movie. How can the plot be so thin and yet make its viewers feel left out, as if a lot more has been going than there actually has been? And it's not just editting - shots are poorly framed, with an abundance of facial close-ups during action sequences clearly there to pad those few scenes they chose not to throw out. Action is, while sometimes mildly fun, mostly a mess.

Most characters outright suck. In particular is the pimp version of The Joker, who oozes sleaze in the worst possible way - less psychotic clown prince of crime, and more creepy uncle in terrible cosplay. Yet these characterizations somehow completely clash with his surroundings - for every moment he spends being a mouth-breathing loser, there is a close-up of one of his try-hard tattoos, or him vandalizing the walls of his OWN ROOM by writing "HA! HA! HA" all over them, like an angsty tween vandalizing their desk at school. This is followed by laying down in a circle of knives, and, presumably off-camera, curling into a ball and weeping about how much nobody gets him, It's the literal worst, yet it encapsulates how Snyder and co. just don't get it - all of them suck. This pretty much closes the loop started with MoS - a whiny and reluctant Superman who pouts all the time instead of being at all Super, followed by the dumbest world's best detective who upholds good by straight up murdering people, culminating in a clown prince of crime that is not a scary clown nor a funny clown nor even much of a criminal and more like a whiny baby with a gun.
Yeah, it's a pretty bad flick. But it's far from the worst, and with DC doing what DC does - this is clearly the best they have to offer with this current generation of films. At this rate - we are closer to a total reboot of all of this franchise than we are to a Justice League 2. With a meta-franchise being born this horribly deformed and in constant agony perhaps it's time to put Harley's mallet to good use, and perform a late abortion on this whole thing. Start over with someone who doesn't only claim he holds these characters and stories in some reverence, but can also demonstrate that he or she REMOTELY gets the subject matter and how to convey it to an audience in a way that is, at best, barely enjoyable sometimes maybe.

The only exception to the WHOLE cast is Harley Quinn, though with only some redeeming moments to make her at all funny or fun or even remotely intimidating. She's the one kinda-good thing in this movie, with Deadshot being a close second at "not terrible".

Cannot wait for the DC reboot; and probably a "Infinite Crisis" trailer at Comic-Con 2018.… Expand

Hey DC, are you trying to f**k this up on purpose? Seriously! What the hell is going on over there. "Suicide Squad" was your chance to redeem yourself from the last critical failures. This movie should have been the one that saved DC and getHey DC, are you trying to f**k this up on purpose? Seriously! What the hell is going on over there. "Suicide Squad" was your chance to redeem yourself from the last critical failures. This movie should have been the one that saved DC and get it back on it's feet, but I guess not. I wanted this to be good or at least surprise me. There are some pros and plenty of cons in this. So lets kick it off.

Will Smith and Viola Davis are easily the best parts of this movie. Smith brings the humility to his character and Davis brings the fear. Will Smith is the only character in this group that has any characterization as we get to know more about his past. Will Smith is basically playing Will Smith, but he was still good as the character. To be honest, I thought Voila Davis was more of a real threat then the actual threat itself.

Margot Robbie was pretty good as Harley Quinn, but wasn't the show stealer as I thought she would be. She did a great job capturing the character and there was little peaks of humility as well. Her accent dose keep changing in a few scenes, but I can easily look pass that.

I was one of those people who was against Jared Leto new look as the Joker. I know he's trying a different take on the character, but with all the stupid tattoo's all over him with the word 'damaged' on his forehead and the gangster grill teeth just wasn't the Joker. But I give Leto this, it's a bold move to take on the character after Ledger's unforgettable performance. I was being a bit too harsh at the time and Leto is a very method actor, so what's there's nothing to complain with the casting (besides the new look). After seeing the movie, Leto doesn't do a bad job as the Joker. He doesn't have that much screen time and every time he's on it screen, he kinda chews up the scenery. He was enjoyable to watch and I will make a full judgment when we have a movie where he has more screen time. Coming to think of it, The Joker should have been the main villain of the movie and not Enchantress (I'll get to her in a minute). Oh and I can't be the only one who thinks he looks like some manic you'll see in a Purge movie.

Cara Delevingne not only gives the worst performance in the movie, but also the most laughable one as well. I mean, what is up with that hip moves and twirling her arms around? It's like the director gave up. Enchantress is right up there with Dr. Doom from "Fant4stic" as the worst villain in comic book movie. Enchantress is the basic villain who wants to shoot a giant blue lazier in the sky to destroy the world. Oh and please stop it with the blue lazier thing, it's in every comic book movie now and it's so stupid.

Here's my question: Why would you sent these crazy and dangerous people on a mission to stop Enchantress. Yeah I really hope that doesn't back fire at all. I mean sure, send a guy who calls himself Captain Boomerang who's an insane person that throws boomerangs that never comes back to him to save us from giant portals from other worlds. Is it because they are expendable? It would have made a lot more sense if Wonder Women or The Flash or just anyone with god like powers to go on this mission. This really is a suicide mission.

The rest of the Squad members were pretty forgettable and just didn't do anything. Katana was just kinda there. Slipknot is in it for a few minutes. Killer Croc just stands around going "mmmm" or "yeah", they didn't do anything with that character.

The third act was this gigantic action scene that takes place in the city and the scene itself was just a mess. It was so muddled together and the editing was so poor that it sadly did remind me of "Fant4stic" climax.

Some of the music choices didn't really fit well during a couple of scenes. It felt out of place and was only thrown at the last minute to make it a little light at heart. This is because of the heavy criticism for "Batman V Superman" for being too dark.

I think DC biggest problem is that they are literally rushing the movies out just to catch up with Marvel. Take your time DC. But of course, many will be angry that I said that and will go to terrifying lengths to defend it. Fan boys seem to choose to deny any flaws from these movies and praise it for it's non-existing efforts. I'm not a DC hater. I'm not a Marvel fan boy. I only want a freaking good movie, is that hard to ask for. Just because it tried something new doesn't always mean it will bring great results. Everyone has an opinion, that's a no-brainier. Agree or disagree, just please don't act like a cry baby when some has a different opinion to you.

Overall rating: "Suicide Squad" was a huge disappointment in a lackluster year for summer movies. The more I think about this, the more I hate it.… Expand

Had so much fun watching this film, Harley Quinn was fantastic and worked well with the other characters, my only disappointment was that there wasn't more, would of loved an extra hour with some more backstory and more bonding with the squad.
