The plot was a bad choice. The movie starts in one way, in the middle changes completely, and in the final seems like totally another movie. The idea of the movie was a fail for the DC cinematic universe.

The antagonist is very shallow and the Joker Leto do not have long scene to be evaluated, but it is promising. Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Viola Davis fulfill their roles as exceptional and clearly are the highlights of the film. The character of Jay Hernandez surprising, and Katana and Killer Croc are well placed. Expand

We see amazing performances from all actors especially Smith and Robbie. Unfortunately, this is all that is good about the film. Its plot holes and unfunny jokes against an already very weak plot, really do negatively affect the impact of the film and really is disappointing. Suicide Squad also rushed straight into the main action too quickly and it felt as if it missed out on a lot of important parts. Suicide Squad is worth a watch but be prepared to be disappointed.

A clumsy ensemble film that tries to be Deadpool-clever, but fails miserably.

Many acclaim Will Smith's performance as Deadshot. His performance was great - but absolutely not Deadshot. (Someone kills three people with a pistol, Deadshot turns to them and says, "That was gangsta." Lol wut?) Never really done much with Diablo (Jay Hernandez), but he was a pleasant surprise.

Viola Davis was great as Amanda Waller.

Margot Robbie is great as Harley Quinn. Jared Leto was good as the Joker, though he never really gets a chance to shine. The rest of the cast? Who cares. But the one thing the film gets absolutely right is Harley & Joker's relationship. The bad side of this is that the film-makers somehow knew they got this part right, and emphasize Harley's story to the detriment of everything else. Which maybe isn't a bad thing after all, since "everything else" is sub-par. Weak story, poor build-up (an ensemble movie that has to also establish its characters), ordinary stakes (save the world), ordinary villain, confusing direction with an over-reliance on flash-backs, some odd choices for costume design... An average film at best, with some memorable scenes. Harley and Joker need their own film, because they're too big for this one. 5/10

I 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.

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

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

This movie was so hyped up and it fell so hard for me. Overall it wasn't a terrible movie; the potential was there and there were some positives to it, like Will Smith and Margot Robbie's chemistry, Jared Leto's Joker portrayal and just the fact that I'm a sucker for superhero films.

However, what really did it in for me was the plot line and script. It almost seemed like had they pushed the release date back, spent some more time on the editing and script of the film, it could have at least been a little more put together and not so convoluted.

Nevertheless, it kept my attention throughout even though I walked out wondering so much about certain plot holes about scenes that didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Go see it, but keep your expectations low.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all would like to inform u all that im a DC fanboy not a marvel peasant.
Where did this movie go the wrong way? Too many things were terrible but lets start with the plot. The plot was terrible, long story short "there is a group of bad people, one of them becomes super bad and makes another super bad person, other bad people must stop the super bad people".
When i first saw the cast i didnt have hope for Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and guess what? I was right she didn't feel like Harley at all, she was just Jokers personal toy. I actually had hopes for Jared Leto's Joker. But from the first moment of his appearance i hated him, i expected a newer, cooler, better, polished Joker but just got an excuse from DC.
Jay Hernandez(El Diablo)'s acting was terrible
I didnt have any hope for Jai Courtney but he was actually the best thing in the movie, he really did get into his role of captain boomerang, the thick Australian accent was on point.
Suicide Squad has a strong basis, it has a respected comic and a respected animation both of which are a great.
Joker had lots of different things than the original joker. He wasnt wearing purple. Instead he was wearing some yellow glitter **** or purple glitter **** which made him look even worse he had dumb tattoos, was a dumb character in the movie, if he had more screen time i would have probably killed myself. Everytime Katana said something i felt like my brain cells were commiting suicide. The next terrible thing was the relationship between Joker and Harley. In this movie we saw them both madly deep in love with each other. THE Joker doesn't love Harley, he abuses and tortures her. Harley knows it all but she just loves him(extreme Stockholm Syndrome).
If you're gonna defend this movie saying "this is something new this is something thats better" as a geek i'd like to say "read the comics or watch the animations about batman"(not necessarily the suicide squad) then you would know how bad this movie was.
At least the soundtrack and CGI was good(as expected from Zack Snyder)

The trailers and hype focused on the characters and commissioning, leaving the core story a mystery. In all fairness it worked. But, after the movie I realized there wasn't a mystery. What seemed to be the central plot sat in the background out of focus until the very end and was disappointing and cliche when it arrived. That left the rest of the movie's focus on character development and team building scenarios. Unless you're satisfied with the trailer introductions the character dev was quick, short and shallow forming little connection with audience interest. Perhaps it was trying to accomplish too much with too many characters. Most of the characters I found interesting had very little screen time which was disappointing. I really wanted to like this movie. I am one of the few that really enjoyed BvS, so it's not a slam DC thing. I think the best place for SS is in a Netflix series where it can be given more time to grow and give time for character dev. Expand

While it will certainly please a lot of those who are fans of the franchise, it was confusing at times and it was obvious that lots had been cut.

Jokes were often forced into moments where they didn't really seem right, as the film tried to be both in the spirit of Deadpool and The Dark Knight. A lot of popular soundtracks were used over footage that had clearly been intended for a different score, and the plot was far too loose. Some of the characters, particularly the soul-storing sword bearer, were simply not needed. There wasn't enough explanation as to who some of the characters were or their relation to the other villains.

Margot Robbie however, held a great performance. Will Smith was also good here, as well as several members of the main cast. But overall the film suffers from a saturation of emotional back stories, and doesn't explain its plot well enough, especially for casual viewers. While I'm sure fans of the DC universe will find lots to enjoy here, many movie goers may get a bit lost in the clunky nature of it all.

Suicide Squad is not a bad movie; it isn't a good one either. The DC Comics Universe is lagging behind the Marvel one for a reason, and it is typified in this movie.
DC movies are supposedly dark and gritty and this movie was supposed to be a breath of fresh air, a fun-filled foul-mouthed screw-you to comic tropes. It is a terrible shame, then, that it follows these tropes to a 'T'. The movie is very predictable, and anyone who has watched any kind of action movie before can tell what comes next. The special effects and cinematography, which could excuse that, aren't anything to write home about either.

Which is a shame, because the potential is there. The characters are portrayed rather well, and Margot Robbie stands out. The promise of a host of personalities in the ensemble cast playing off each other, though, is wasted. This is because characterization is minimal. I was not invested in the character's motivations in any way, and once the credits rolled I was still wondering why every single event ensued the way it did.

An extended cut might solve the characterization problem, but this movie is too predictable to recommend for anything beyond a one-time watch.

Suicide Squad: Proof you CAN polish a turd.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A middling 4/7.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Suicide Squad is entertaining, not good, not bad. But it'll probably leave a good taste because you won't be bored during those two hours.

Note:4.8
A film poor in script, direction, dialogue,a meaningless villain, which quickly seasick.
Only the beginning, post-credits scene and the performances of Margot Robbie and Will Smith who are saved.

Ugh, wasted potential. I guess the movie has its moments there and then, but overall remains a mediocrely crafted flick. Props to the people behind the makeup, costumes and hairstyling, though.

Point in case...Suicide Squad’s editing seems to imply a test audience had more sway over the movieSuicide Squad is (hopefully) the final nail in the DCCU [in its current state]. The movie screamed heavy studio intervention in all scenes. Point in case...Suicide Squad’s editing seems to imply a test audience had more sway over the movie than the director (David Ayer). Depth is sacrificed in order to make way for boring fast-paced blockbuster action (think Transformers). The beginning of the film features an assortment of popular songs each used in three-minute scenes introducing a character most non-comic readers have never heard of. The film then gives up on making us really care about the characters with the exception of a few. Two characters with any semblance of development are Deadshot and Harley Quinn. Fans and critics alike seem to think Will Smith is the redeeming element of the movie. I sorta agree but any noble attempt at humor or development is squandered by a horrible script that comes across as one written by a high school student’s first go at a screenplay. Will Smith essentially acts as himself throughout most scenes in the movie. Margot Robbie is convincingly crazy at times. The problem with Robbie’s Quinn is that our disturbed “heroine” comes across as eccentric at best in a fair amount of scenes. Quinn’s hazy ADD flashbacks are unclear on what made her “crazy”. As a result, the actions of Harley are hard to judge on their authenticity to her character. A good film analogy is Anakin’s turn to the dark side. We all know he has to be Darth Vader at some point. Also, Jared Leto is an abysmal Joker who comes across as a gangbanger attempting a cosplay for the first time. (sans Joker) You really can’t have an ensemble with characters people aren't familiar with or with a lack of developed stakes. Most of the film is a CG romp through a city in order to stop some giant beam in the sky from wiping out civilization (not cliche at all). Surprisingly, I enjoyed the film more than Batman V Superman because it works as a campy nerd movie. Expand

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

Three strikes and you're out in baseball. This could be said about a lot of movie franchises. However, DC's universe has been scheduled for more movies than it deserves. This comic-book franchise has been derailed by the one and only ZackThree strikes and you're out in baseball. This could be said about a lot of movie franchises. However, DC's universe has been scheduled for more movies than it deserves. This comic-book franchise has been derailed by the one and only Zack Snyder and it looks like it will never be fixed. The Suicide Squad trailers tried to prove a lot of the haters wrong. It's marketing was perfect as it showed a funny spin on the universe. It got a lot of the critics of the franchise on board as well. It surely did its job to try and manipulate audiences into believing that this universe wasn't a complete disaster. Unfortunately, “disaster” is the exact word to describe this movie. If Warner Brothers and DC wanted this movie to change the critics minds, they failed.

Suicide Squad is directed by David Ayer and produced by Zack Snyder. Amanda Waller (played by Viola Davis) is trying to get a team together to fight threats that could potentially harm the world. She wants this team ready so that if another Superman comes down, their will be a team that can stop it. Waller gets the help of some bad people that will do a lot of good. Enchantress is one of these villains but she doesn't want to follow orders and creates a plot to create an army to destroy everything. She's a mystical witch that releases her brother. Her brother helps her in her effort to take over the world. The Suicide Squad has their first task in taking down the threat. However, they soon realize that not only are the bad guys in front of them, they're also the ones pulling the strings.

Suicide Squad’s biggest failure is in the character department. The big selling point of the movie was that audiences were going to get great characters that were interesting and fun. What we got were characters that were boring and wooden. There are only a few of them that get a backstories (of course these are the three major stars in the movie). Most of them never get any character development. They're tossed a side for no reason at all. Majority aren't interesting enough to care about to begin with. This has to do with both bad screen-writing and a lack of talent in the acting department. The dialogue doesn't help these actors, but a lot of the acting is god awful. The three major ones that are quite awful are Enchantress (played by Cara Delevingne), Boomerang (played by Jai Courtney), and the Joker (played by Jared Leto).

Leto doesn't do a terrible job with the Joker but the character is so bad that it becomes nauseating at times. He's not the Joker that's been seen in any live-action movie yet. He's a gangster with a gold tooth and a whole lot of tattoos. Leto is given a character that seems to scare everyone around him but never feels menacing at all. The over-the-top performance doesn't help, but Leto isn't given a character he can shine with. The worst acting in the movie is Courtney’s performance. Courtney is a terrible actor to begin with and this movie doesn't prove that wrong. His delivery of some of lines is cringe-worthy at best and he's constantly aggravating throughout the entire runtime. Delevingne’s performance isn't much better. It's over the top, loud, obnoxious, and overall lazy. She's out of her element and it shows in her performance.

Suicide Squad has a lot of directional and screen-writing errors as well. A scene where the squads chopper is shot down by someone we never see. Though the movie doesn't really pay a lot of attention on the crash in the first place as it just cuts to the team walking down the street with no transition shot. Action scenes are shaking and sometimes hard to follow. Enchantress’s heart is her only weak point, then it's not, and then it is again. Enchantress is in control of a person’s body. If she dies, the body dies. This was the overall message throughout the whole movie until we needed tension and a fake-out death scene. There was an annoying amount of fake-out death scenes in the film. It seems like DC’s new trend. Though the worst offense is when a group of non-meta human villains was able to take down a demonic witch and her brother. Their no match for them but somehow pull it together and win. It's done in the most lazy way possible (wont tell you for spoiler reasons).

There’s a lot these inconsistencies with a lot of unrealistic moments in Suicide Squad that turns the movie into a joke after while. It's like a punchline of a joke by the Joker. Nothing in the movie impressed me. Nothing in the movie was groundbreaking. Nothing was fun to watch. DC might be able to disguise this crap better with some audience members. However, it's still crap at the end of the day.

Overall, Suicide Squad is the biggest disappointment of the year. The beginning produces some promise, but it's just a glimmer of hope that fades when the second act starts. What could have been an interesting film, fades into oblivion with a terrible performance by everyone evolved with the film. This new universe DC/Warner Brothers have created, has another strike under its belt. It's time to just scrap this new universe and reboot. However,the box-office numbers will state over-wise.

4.5/10

Poor script, cinematography, music, and direction makes Suicide Squad a dull time. I enjoyed David Ayer's "End of Watch" but "Fury" and now this minor catastrophe has me second-guessing him as a director. Margot Robbie makes a case for her Harley Quinn character to continue in some kind of sequel, I suppose. Jared Leto's Joker is pretty over-the-top and strangely harmless, more like the clown you hired for your son's birthday party showing up high at your front door.

The whole thing is wildly unbalanced. Army Chinook helicopters repeatedly falling out of the sky. Long scenes of exposition that leave you scratching your head in a WTF way. Too much Will Smith (he of the almost six billion dollar worldwide box office). DC Comics is starting to dig a substantial cinematic hole for themselves thanks to the bombastic direction and production tastes of a certain Zack Snyder. It all started with "Man of Steel", continued with this spring's underwhelming "Batman v. Superman", and now we have a straight-up contender for the 2016 Razzies top prize. At this point, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy almost seems like IT must have come from another planet.

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

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

But that scene when Harley jumps into a can of acid and Joker jumps to her (I know its metaphorical scene it didn't really happen but still that was lame IMO) . Joker doesn't show up too much in the movie I don't know if that was intended but I felt disappointed with that.Killer Croc mask LOOKS TERRIBLE ,I mean his head looks enormous compared to his body (he should have been more bulked up).The humor is really good in this movie I liked it very much.Overall I would rate this movie 6/10.But beware that REAL PROBLEM of this movie and not only this movie but future movies is WARNER BROTHERS. They should stop interfering with DC Entertainment and let them do their job.They are rushing this too quickly and it doesn't surprise me if the movie gets bashed on (although I really didn't understand THIS BIG bashing).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suicide Squad was the first comic book movie that ever starred the bad guys in a movie like this. After watching Suicide Squad, I was very letdown of how this film was set up by David Ayer. David Ayer tried his best to deliver Suicide Squad, but he effing' rushed it. As a result, Suicide Squad got panned even worser compared to bad DC movies such as Catwoman or even Batman & Robin. I would like to debunk this review into a pros and cons section. Agree or disagree with me but this is my actual thoughts about this film that did impressed me and that didn’t seem to dress to impress me:
PROS:
- The Suicide Squad
- Main Actors Performances
- Impressive Combination of Special and Visual Effects
- Suicide Squad's Colorful Soundtrack
- Post Credit Scene
CONS:
- Pacing Issues
- Predictable Ending
- Overused soundtrack
- Main Villain(s) weren't as intimidating
- Not Enough Joker Screentime
- Writing (Felt rushed comparing to True Detective Season 2’s writing and story)
- Plot Holes
- Jared Leto's Joker made me CRINGE... - Messy Dialogue
- Try hard moments
After seeing Suicide Squad, I can finally say that this movie was a piece of sh!t that MoS or BvS can pull it off better than that rushed final product. Talking about WORST.MOVIE.EVER

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted this movie to be good. I wanted DC to shut my mouth like Ben Afleck did with me with his acting as Batman. But it didn't happened.
The movie was disappointing, I think many agree with that, but it also has many cringing moments (spoilers ahead):
- The use of Rock-Pop super hits very randomly and one after another trying to be epic. It looked like a YouTube amateur video of "BEST MOMENTS" with user's favorite bands as background music.
- The videoclip scene at the chemical plant (this scene made me really angry, it's useless, stupid, pointless, all mixed with ugly music...)
- The plan to kill/beat Enchantress. The "bomb-under-big-guy's-feet-plan" is so lame. I'm really sorry some SEALS had to die because of this terrible idea.
- Killer Croc. Seriously, he looks terrible. He doesn't look big at all because of his massive head. He doesn't look bad with the hoodie, but shirtless is a complete failure. It feels like they wanted to spend money only in the head make up and run out of funds when they had to sculpt some shoulders or whatever to make him look actually big. They ruined the first appearance of a great character with his pointless lines and crappy looks, congrats.
- The "Gangsta" Joker. Terrible, not because of Jared Leto, even though I'm not even close to be a fan of him at all. But this depiction of the character... won't work well with Affleck's Batman. And that makes me really sad because that means Warner/DC screwed another character only to make this movie more appealing.
- Chemistry between any other character but Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Even the "you're now my family" Diablo final scene feels really fake. You've been ignoring everyone in the team for more than an hour, dude.
- Battles. Really uninspired, Margot Robbie had some battle scenes I really liked, specially when she's in the elevator.

Enough rant.
Warner/DC: You need to be really careful with EVERY SINGLE MOVIE you release if you want your cinematic universe to work properly. Batman V Superman is not perfect but it still works somehow. Suicide Squad is unbearable and I hope you reset most of the background story and characters you presented in it.

WHAT I LIKED:
- Batman. I really love this Batman, suit, attitude... Even as Bruce Wayne.
- Enchantress make-up, looking. Really cool, even though the performance wasn't flawless.

Add some forgettable action and you have another missed golden opportunity. Snyder and Ayer are both capable of better than this. Something fishy is going on higher up at Warner Bros and it doesn't bode well for the DCCU. Expand

The winners of thisI've been waiting all my life for a really great villain movie and unfortunately I'm still waiting. I'd like to thank DC for giving us this film with too many characters literally trying to steal the show from one another. The winners of this being Harley Quinn and the Joker. I'd also like to thank the amazingly untalented Cara eyebrows Delevingne for a terrible performance and zero chemistry with any of the other characters. Also squished into the movie you have a bunch of other psychotic villains that I'd rather not waste anymore time on. Let's face it the only reason anyone wants to see Suicide Squad is for Jared Leto as the Joker, following Heath Ledger is no easy task but he does manage to take on the Joker brilliantly. Just a pity he's underused. Between him and Margot Robbie they're clearly the only two having any fun and the reason this movie is getting two stars. Recommended purely for The Joker and Harley.

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How bad that **** was ? It was on some F'ntastic Four level ****

It was cliché, and poorly written, the characters were poorly written
too, except Deadshot, Waller and Croc. And Diablo... The Harley-Joker
relation was hilarious. Talking about Harley, she was average, really,
and all the corny lines OMG.

"Ooooh you're hot" Yes The Joker said it. The **** Joker Jared Leto
created said it... God. Not as near as Heath ledger performance, the
comparison can't exist

Enchantress was a great villain, but the lines... Thanks Ayer for
ruining her, she was dandling herself like an ancient Indian princess
or something, her lines were corny (like all the lines in this movie)
and the way she was dealt with was... well **** and cliché, so
cliché, how can you do that with a movie that much waited ? The
slow-mo, the corny music, the emotional ohnothatsmydaughter part...

The filmwriting was... **** amateur-ish, really, it was just a hot
mess. Nothing made actual sense...The music choices were cliché and
****, this movie is like a **** cliché action movie for touchy
teenagers

Ugh 4/10. Because the Movie is good if you turn off your brain

Because of the cast, the storyline wasn't much of something I was particularly searching for to understand the film, though the backstory of each character should've been highlighted fairly well.

None of the above was reached. Action scenes weren't jaw dropping and diablo wasn't eventful at all despite the remarks after he had flamed all the faceless zombies in the building mid-way through the movie. The provoking from Deadshot towards Diablo to get angry was a bit useless and would've rather been a better surprise without the smacks on the head.

Throughout the film, I oftentimes repeated, "Man this is lazy". I wouldn't suggest this movie to anyone. Also, why did Enchantress have to kiss everyone in order to turn them evil (part fo her army)? Maybe something I've missed from the comics? Won't be watching this at all again. Was a great build up and almost left work early to check it out. Glad I didn't.

- Que el motivo por que luchan en la pelea final sea la "amistad" y "los amigos" me ha recordado mas a My Little Pony que a otra cosa.
+ Will Smith en el papel de Soy Leyenda en la película "Escuadron Suicida" salva bastante la pelicula.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una de las peores decepciones del 2016 con uno de los Marketings más engañosos. DC continúa con su racha de malas películas en este "Nuevo universo" donde al parecer, todo lo que saben hacer es hacerlo mal. Los personajes son muy mal introducidos y no se comprende la actitud de algunos (Killer Croc, por ejemplo).

Leto hace una buena actuación; sin embargo, su personaje de "Joker" es difícilmente lo que debe ser, un payaso. En todas las escenas que este delincuente con mal gusto aparece, en vez de causar temor, causa incomodidad en el espectador, uno no puede aguantar su presencia en la pantalla sin que se pregunte "¿Por qué hizo eso?" o "¿Hará algo que tenga relación con la historia principal y no sea relleno?".

DC básicamente crea una película para aquellos que YA conocen a los personajes y sus historias, y, gracias a ello, se dan el lujo de crear una película horrible. Esta película no es cómica, no es divertida, no es emocionante, es horrible. Yo sé que no es una película para ganar premios, pero la película tenía un muy buen potencial y con un horrible guión lo echaron a perder. El poder de un mal guión, es que deja ver muy fácilmente los defectos de la película (Como la pésima actuación de Cara DeLevigne, por ejemplo).

One of the worst disappointments of 2016 with one of the most misleanding Marketings. DC continues with his bad streak in this "New universe" where all that they know it's doing wrong. The characters are very bad introduced and it can't understand the attitude of some of them (Killer Croc, for example).

Leto does a good acting, but his character "Joker" it's barely what he needs to be, a clown. In all the scenes, this criminal with awful clothes shows up, instead of cause fear, causes discomfort on the spectator, you can't keep his presence on the screen without asking "¿Why did he did that?" or "¿He will do something that have a relation with the principal story and not filling?".

DC basically creates a movie for those who already know the characters and their stories and, beacuse of that, they have the luxury to make a horrible movie. This movie isn't funny and isn't exciting, it's awfull. I know that is not a "award winning movie", but the movie had a lot of potencial and they spoiled. The power of a bad script, is that you can spot easily all the movie defects (like the dreadful acting of Cara DeLevigne).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. CONTÉM SPOILERS.

Sábado de manhã eu fui buscar minha encomenda contendo um box de A Piada Mortal + Coringa (de Brian Azzarello) e olhei a capa com a cena clássica do Coringa gargalhando, senti que faria a coisa errada se não assistisse Esquadrão Suicida antes de voltar pra casa. Comprei o ingresso, assisti e não saí tão feliz quanto a devida imagem.
Falando do filme, eu vou começar com a parte positiva.
A parte gráfica, no que se trata de design, é fantástica. Colorida, atraente e de fácil assimilação, funciona muito bem nas cenas introdutórias. As atuações do Will Smith, Margot Robbie e Cara Delevingne me agradaram, despertando ligação com Pistoleiro, Arlequina e Magia, seus respectivos personagens. Sobre o teor cazalbé do filme eu gostei de alguns trechos cômicos de interação entre os integrantes do esquadrão e o seu comandante Rick Flag(como no trecho em que se testam as habilidades do pistoleiro).
Depois de aproximadamente 25 minutos de filme, o enredo não desenvolve e começa a demonstrar sua fragilidade quando começa a apelar no que seria o "alívio cômico" porém se transforma em uma torrente de tentativas forçadas de causar risadas no público.
Viola Davis deu uma manchada no currículo interpretando uma Amanda Waller tonta, que na tentativa de defender os Estados Unidos acaba sendo a principal causa de todos os problemas do filme, e rapidamente perde o controle sobre o grupo. NÃO, isso não acontece numa reviravolta de enredo excitante, mas sim logo durante a formação do tal esquadrão de "supervilões". O tal esquadrão nem mesmo é formado no filme, já que antes mesmo de desempenharem o seu papel já vêem uma integrante se tornar a principal "vilã"(contra vilões? hã?). A Amanda Waller de Arrow é bem mais interessante.
Também tem que se registrar a emendação de músicas bem sucedidas em cenas seguidas pra tentar ganhar simpatia do público. Helicópteros são derrubados sem ter uma sequência na cena(hã?). Sem falar no fato de todo esse time de vilões super engenhosos, serem recrutados para enfrentar soldados-coisa nota zero de carisma. Sério, eles não fazem nenhuma missão mirabolante ou uma missão que exige o máximo de suas habilidades individuais.
Sem falar no marketing exagerado ao mostrar Arlequina e Coringa trocando mensagenzinha nos seus Samsungs a cada 10 minutos, de doer. Sério, a Warner não teve uma forma mais lúdica de estabelecer a comunicação entre os dois? será que em breve o Batman vai abrir mão de usar o Bat-sinal e vai começar a trocar emails com Comissário Gordon?
As surpresas de enredo inexistem, você sempre sabe o que vai acontecer nos próximos momentos como a comunhão entre a equipe e as duas vezes em que o Coringa salva a Arlequina. Entediante.
De tanta insignificância ia esquecendo: Capitão Bumerangue, Diablo, Crocodilo... nem fedem, nem cheiram, melhor nem aparecer pra não passar vergonha desse jeito.
Quando o filme acabou, entendi que o destaque do dia foi mesmo o Coringa, como de costume me pregou uma grande peça. Fingiu que ia me entregar um bom filme, e agora ele continua aqui na estante, congelado, rindo: HÁ!, HÁ! HÁ!, HÁ!, HÁ!, HÁ!, HÁ!, HÁ!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After seeing Suicide Squad this past weekend, I was left disgruntled by the awful choices Warner Brother Studios has made this year with their expansion of the DCEU. Though they handled some things well, like the casting of Will Smith as Deadshot and Margot Robbie as Harley, director David Ayer and accomplices at WB studios failed to make a completely coherent film yet again. I'll start with the negative first and there is a lot of it, reader beware.

My biggest issue with the film was its tonal inconsistencies, in one moment you’re in a gritty side street being ambushed by Batman, and in the next you’re watching a quirky montage of our anti-heroes suiting up for battle to Eminem's “Without me” - what's worse is that this type of scene/cuts happen consistently throughout the film and it just takes you out of the moment.

My second issue with the film is what I call the “Army Aspect”. The villain gathers an army to distract the protagonists of the film, while he/she does something evil and maleficent behind the scenes. My problem is that we’ve seen it done already! Not once, but twice with both Avengers films. How many more times must we watch a group of “heroes” fight an army of foreign species? Whats even worse is when they finally defeat the “Army” and confront the main villain of the movie - Enchantress - she is just standing there babbling nonsense and doing weird twitching movements. Frankly she looks like she is about to have a very serious stroke. They then proceed to have this long drawn out fight sequence, which ends up being useless because she just decides to disarm them, it's really jarring to actually watch happen. The movie is a mess in a lot of places.

The movie seems to have been severely tampered with the studio because there are just some disgusting and rudimentary cuts throughout the film. There are scenes that were obviously docked from the film, parts that would have more than likely made the film better a la Batman V. Superman: Ultimate Edition. For the life of me, I cannot understand what goes on over at Warner Brother Studios that makes them want to produce garbage film when they have the resources to make them complete and coherent. I wait anxiously for Wonder Woman, hoping that WB studios have learnt from their last two flops.

Though I made the movie seem like a steaming bag of dump, it wasn't all bad. There were small glimmers of hope, specifically with Jared Leto’s portrayal of The Joker. Though he is no Heath Ledger, who is arguably the best Joker, Leto’s portrayal was unique and fresh. I personally did not like the fact that he was a gang banger mob boss type, but I feel as though if it was expanded upon and explained in some detail it might be an easier pill to swallow. I also feel like Margot Robbie gave a great performance as Harley Quinn even though her character wasn’t written particularly well. Her on screen chemistry with Jared Leto was also great. Will Smith, as well as the writers, did an excellent job with Deadshot giving him character depth and making him relatable. My last qualm with the film is lack of character explanation for Killer Croc and Captain Boomerang, they just felt divisive and shoe horned into the movie.

The movie could be better, a lot better and a huge piece of me wants the DCEU movies to be great. I hope that directors and Warner Bros Studio learns from their past DCEU filmography and drastically improves it. I wait anxiously for Wonder Woman later next year as well as the proposed Ben Affleck directed Batman movie.

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

As much as I wanted to like this movie, it had too many boring scenes, typical superhero scenes, and the usual story line. Jared Leto's Joker was too over the top and farr from the comics

I find most superhero movies too generic and soulless to enjoy them but „Suicide Squad“ gives this description a whole new meaning.
Not a single **** was given during watching this meaningless action adventure which gives us a bunch of DC Comics’s superheroes incarcerated for their crimes who save the world to get some years off.
By the way, for once, the general response to the superhero movie has been similar to mine, suggesting to not waste your time.
They battle some superhuman force which looks as mysterious and grand as something straight outta some children’s movie.
Even most of the superheroes themselves are neither cool nor interesting in any way. Except, maybe, Deadshot (Will Smith) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), who also have the most lines, including all the best ones.
Also appearing, Viola Davis diving straight for the paycheck this time, Jared Leto as Joker (original but toothless rendition of this great character), Joel Kinnaman, Jay Hernandez, Karen Fukuhara et al.
Almost everything feels devoid of creativity or fun in this movie. Where did they spend the huge 175 million dollar budget? The result doesn’t even look pretty or have gripping action scenes. Avoid!
And maybe avoid the inevitable sequel(s) too, because they surely are coming. For all the hate „Squad“ has gathered from critics and superhero afficionados and the regular moviegoers, it still managed to bring 745 million U.S. dollars from cinemas. How is it even possible?
I can’t believe this was written and directed by David Ayer, the man who gave us „Harsh Times“, „End of Watch“, and „Fury“ (also wrote „Training Day“ and „Dark Blue“). None of the good qualities he usually seems to possess are evident here. Let’s hope his upcoming Netflix fantasy action „Bright“ also starring Will Smith is much much better!
Watched an extended cut which adds 11 minutes for total of 134. Now I want the two hours of my life back.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A cast with Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto as the new Joker. "Nice!!", I thought. However the film did not seem any exciting to me. I think they had a great idea and a nice cast but they did not manage to make a good movie. PRO`s:
-Amazing Margot Robbie as Harley Queen
-Great new concept of the Joker, brilliantly played by Leto in my opinion.

CON's
-Non charismathic villians. I did not like that egiptian semigood stuff
-They do not take profit of the great Joker they had.
-Some of the memebers of the Squad are barely mentioned on the film. They focus on Harley Queen, Deadshot, Diablo, and Rick Flair.

-Harley Quinn:
A classic, Harley Quinn. The Joker's Girlfriend and a psycopath. In the comics, Harley is deeper than in this movie. That dress... What-The-Hell?

-Capitain Boomerang:
This is a "typical" bank robber on a super-hero world. He has a problem like Harley's:
It's much better in the comics and it's undervalued in this movie.

They tried, and it was a fun movie but not good. Plot and timing was messy and the characters didn't feel the same throughout the movie.

I'm a huge joker fan and I like joker character at the cinema but I didn't like the joker in this movie.I like Jared Leto his a good actor but he could not play the joker character well I hope they do not continue with it.


it wasn't a nice movie , it's never been a movie about the superheroes' enemies gathering and fighting another evil.So this movie was very curious.

I didn't like the scenes of the film, some scenes didn't like what I could say very ridiculous.

With a script without much to show, the characters become ridiculous. Its production in the matter of art is reasonable, but still it is difficult to swallow. The right team in the wrong production. 4.4/10

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suicide Squad... This movie was a helicopter wreck. It fills itself with cringey moments, poor writing, and bad editing. It's one of those things that makes you think, "How did we get here? How did something with so much potential end up in such a horrible state?" It is a mystery to all but executives, but one thing is for certain. This movie failed on every level, be it emotional, productional, and plotwise. One of these particular reasons could be that Warner Bros saw such rotten responses for Batman V Superman for being too serious, ending up in an even worse trainwreck than Suicide Squad. They recognized the complaints of their audience, and made the swift decision to have massive reshoots to make Suicide Squad more lighthearted, costing upwards of 22 million dollars. Pack that in with the fact that they hired a trailer company to edit their movie, and you've got a failed blockbuster on your hands. But it isn't just the editing or the strange sense that you're watching two movies edited together, making for a tone that's neither comedic nor dramatic. This movie, like other DCEU movies, suffers from an influx of characters whom we have no attachment to. This sort of kills the stakes. Nearly every character in this movie has never been seen on screen before this movie. This takes away any emotion we could have for any of them. Characters are introduced very swiftly, only to die minutes later. Some characters shouldn't even be on the Suicide Squad, most notably Katana, but they just show up to join the crew. The way most characters are introduced is perhaps one of the worst things I've seen in a movie. Amanda Waller reads their name off a paper as we see an animatic of the character being introduced with their character traits on the screen beside them. The movie introduces characters to you by telling you their character traits in a couple sentences. That's the most egregious examples of telling, not showing. The exact opposite of what you want. Needlesly expositing information like that is horrific. Of course, perhaps it could have been forgiven if the characters were interesting, and for a select few, you can sort of get behind them. Will Smith's Killshot and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn are somewhat interesting and portayed well by their actors. But for the most part, most of the characters are struggling to deliver their lines in a proper way. That's not really on the actor's part, though, because most of the lines in this movie are so ridiculous, that it would be impossible to deliver them properly. They've leaned so far into the comedic side that they lost the comedy and simply become a broken mess that doesn't even be serious when it needed to be. ||A scene in which the Suicide Squad are in a building with Waller, whom they're supposed to rescuing, sees Waller shoot the FBI agents who are with her. This should be a very serious moment, and the movie almost reflects this. But it ruins it with a joke made by Will Smith's Deadshot. This is exactly what is wrong with this movie.|| This movie follows a very basic superhero plot, following this team go into a city to stop a villain from destroying the world with a skybeam. This isn't nessasarily a bad thing. But when it's carried on in a messy, choppy way that doesn't have *any* new ideas, it doesn't work. This movie carried itself in a way that didn't care about it's audience, and in the end, Suicide Squad is a failed attempt at what could have been a fantastic movie. Expand
