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.… Expand

Yeah, there are a lot of strange moments, but where you are watching movie you don't really see them. Also, there is many beautiful and interesting scenes, especially good is the scene at the bar, and what happened after it.

About characters, i think film crew tried to tell us more about each character, but they did not have much time. Croc, Slipknot and Boomerang was like - "i do not know why i am here!". To my mind Deadshot, Harley and El Diablo are very cool, all of them surprised me.

Action scenes are simple and nice, final fight was a little bit stupid, but it's so impressing.

The music was very good too! I was just delighted.

Eventually, it is very cool and funny movie, tht you won't forget a very long time!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe how boring this movie was. Everything has been done before. This is essentially avengers age of ultron with the brightness turned down.
Will Smith was the only decent performance in the movie and I couldn't get over how disappointed I was with Harley Quinn. I was hoping for more Dr. Quinn and a lot less skanky the clown, but it seemed she was mainly around for the eye candy, which is unfortunate.
Was the joker even on screen for more than three minutes? Why did he take up 90% of the trailers and only 0.01% of the movie? I honestly went into this thinking it was a Joker Vs Suicide Squad movie and I couldn't have been more wrong, except maybe thinking this might be a fun summer movie.… Expand

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first reaction after (and during, I suppose) watching "Squad" was 'What movie did the critics watch? Because it certainly wasn't the same one I just did!" I found Suicide Squad to be one of the most enjoyable comic book films of the post-Christopher Nolan "Dark Knight" era. The performances were spot on (even Leto's Joker -- whose limited screen time I thought was a smart move on part of DC; after all, it's only been 8 years since Ledger's Oscar-winning performance), the one-liners kept coming while the action kept the story moving along that by the end of it, I felt I'd watched a 90-minute film instead of a 2-hour +. Okay, the story that I just mentioned ... a little weak, but based on just about every other superhero action flick of the past 5 years (yes, I'm looking at you Marvel), I don't think the movie should be completely trashed off of that and that alone. The *spoiler* Enchantress-villain final battle scene was excellent, and that special final scene at Belle Reve was quite possibly one of my favorite in the entire movie and will definitely help set up Quinn's future in the DCEU. It seems the "professional' reviewers are going out of their way to make this film sound like one of the worst superhero flicks of all time and a 26% Rotten Tomato rating has me very puzzled. It's not perfect, no, but it's the most fun I've had at the movies in a very long time. If you're even remotely a fan of ANY of these DC characters, you should do yourself a favor and check it out -- and if you're not? Check it out anyway! "Suicide Squad" is DC's most experimental film ever, and their best since 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises." A solid third entry for the franchise!… Expand

I was totally afraid of what the critics are saying and was very afraid when entered the hall but only after 1 hour, was like Critics are mad. From today onward i am not going to believe any critics until and unless i watch the movie first.

I will only mention what can be done better for the movie.

* Movie should have more introduction of Enchantress and her brother of what exactly are they.

* We are hearing that a lot of Joker part was cut, which they should not have. Jared Leto as Joker is great. Awesome.

* El Diablo :- How he turned into that giant monster when he was facing the Enchantress brother.

Everyone already knew that the Batman will be present in the movie, when they stated that movie will be made. And they nailed it. This aspect of batman is the one which we missed in the BvS. The smooth transition from Suicide Squad to Justice League is also nice.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WONDER WOMAN & JUSTICE LEAGUE.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am giving this a stars, because there were a couple of performances that were slightly less than terrible. Apparently, Jared Leto is throwing a fit, because they cut so much of him out... he should be writing them a thank you letter. It's absolutely true, The Joker was merely a fleeting presence, just enough screen time to justify his place in the plot... if you could call it that, but performance was so God awful, that the less of him the better, both for the audience, and for his reputation as an actor. I could go on and on about the pitiful stabs at humor, and pathos (Daddy don't!), the ridiculous, and lazy reliance on flashbacks, the absolutely unfathomable fantasy/dream sequences (I guess that's what they were, but perhaps this will some up the sheer desperation of this movie...

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

It's meaningless plot makes the film a gigantic mess and it almost felt like I was wasting two hours of my summer. In other words, this film has no purpose what so ever. There are only a few character that possess that characterization they need, but a few is not good enough. These are great comic-book characters with great backstories, they should've been treated with a lot of dedication and care.

Suicide Squad's characters are really solid, specifically Will Smith's Deadshot, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Jay Hernandez's El Diablo, Viola Davis' Amanda Waller, and Jared Leto's Joker, and the action isn't too bad either. It's at the very least fun, unlike the majority of BvS. However, the films plot is nonexistent, the villain and her Ghostbusters/Amazing Spider-Man-esque action setup is pretty bland, the direction and editing are poor, and the soundtrack is totally hit or miss (almost trying to hard to replicate Guardians of the Galaxy). Overall, Suicide Squad is a solid popcorn flick with some basic problems that drag it down from being the movie that was supposed to save the DCEU.… Expand

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

As her bf, Jared Leto's much-anticipated Joker doesn't live up. The squad enters into several ho-hum encounters, but the hoped-for malevolent edge to the characters and the dialogue is sadly soft. The whole thing rambles as the writer strives to add meaningful backstories for depth and drama. Potential for another breakthru flick like "Deadpool" is sadly absent.

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

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

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

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

The plotThis was one of the funnest CBM's I've watched in years, up there with Deadpool! This film had such an eclectic mix of music, acting and editing that it was always switching up expectations on the fly which I think was fantastic. The plot though cliche at times was refreshing to follow as it had a simple premise which was condensed into 120 mins that was easy to digest.

The cast worked together flawlessly, with them embracing each other as a family as the story went on and everyone's acting chops were on point! I also find it great that the DCEU continues to show that there are real consequences in their world with civilians seen hurt/evacuated, military lending support to our villains (or heroes) and an intriguing political view on the rise of the metahumans and others alike (just enriches the universe even more).

I really hope they continue the story of the Suicide Squad sometime soon and that this isn't their only time to shine. So much potential, so many more possible squad members, missions and crazy ass situations to see! If you're a fan of action and CBM's, don't let the negative critical views sway you, take the leap and judge for yourself, I think you won't be as disappointed as you expect yourself to be.… Expand

Where do I begin? Suicide Squad is an absolute mess. From start to finish, it's awful. I'm mad I forgot to bring my bottle of drain cleaner to the cinema so I could wash the pain away. Everything from the characters, to the pacing, even the awful choice in music combine to create a **** like I had never seen before on the big screen- I genuinely think this might be the worst film I've ever seen in a theater. I'll run down my points quickly only using examples from the first act to keep this as spoiler free as possible.

The Characters: For this let's go back to screenwriting 101. In crazy superhero movies like this it usually helps the audience to be able to follow someone from start to finish. Let's make up a name for that person. Let's call them "the protagonist." That's a good name I think. The protagonist helps guide the audience through the story. Usually the protagonist changes, develops, and grows as characters- this is called an arc.

Let's, for humor's sake (because the plot is so muddy it's very hard to pick out a true main character), say the protagonist of Suicide Squad is Deadshot. Deadshot starts the film as a hitman for hire who kills people with impeccable aim. He loves his daughter and would do anything for her- besides giving up being a hitman apparently. At the end of the movie Deadshot is a hitman who kills people with impeccable aim. He loves his daughter and would do anything for her- besides giving up being a hitman apparently. No that wasn't a copy/paste error, Deadshot has about as much of an arc as most of his shots- it's non-existent. He's pretty much the same character at both the beginning and end of the film.

"But Dan!" I hear you cry. "SS wasn't about Dadshot! It was about Harley Quinn!" Alright. Let's quickly analyze her then. Harley's whole purpose for being in Suicide Squad is to dispense AWFUL one-liners and to be as unnecessarily sexy/slutty as possible. That's all she does. She says things like, "now that's a killer app!" and contributes pretty much nothing else. You learn that she wishes her and Mr. J had a normal 2.5 kids, suburbia life- and that's pretty much it. Her character changes in almost no way throughout the film.

The Pacing: Suicide Squad had more pacing issues than a 68 year old's heart after a latte. This is because of the ABYSMAL editing done in this flick. It's atrocious. The only thing worse than the editing is the writing, but we'll get to that in a second. This film feels like it was edited by a 38 year old who wanted to prove he was still "hip" and "with it." I can't go into too much detail without spoiling anything- so I won't. But trust me, some of the choices made will make you want to scratch your head. And by scratch your head I mean "run face first into a wall."

The writing didn't help Suicide Squad's horrid pacing issues, it compounded them. The clunky dialogue would make even George Lucas go **** that's not how people talk to each other." Every time someone speaks, they're just giving exposition. The film speaks rather than show. It's dumb. And when they're not being walking exposition meat bags, the "characters' are trying to sound kool by saying some of the most cringe worthy one liners ever put into film- do I need to bring up the "killer app" line again?

The Music: Whoever did the soundtrack clearly was inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy and thought, "I need Queen in my movie too!" Hey dip****. That's not how that works. You can't just put Queen into your movie and expect everyone to love it. People loved the soundtrack for Guardians because it meant something to the characters and added to the overall story. Everything here feels VERY out of place; hell, half the scenes with the bootleg Guardians soundtrack playing feel like they weren't shot with the eventual music choices in mind. It blows.

On the whole, Suicide Squad is a mess, much like this review, probably. It's the kind of mess that has the potential to ruin DC's already tarnished reputation. Nothing worked for this movie and you honestly shouldn't waste your hard earned cash- go see something better like Star Trek.… Expand

The movieThis movie is not a good movie or a well made movie it is a bad movie. I can see how dc fans can find enjoyment watching their favorite heroes on the big screen but when they say this is a good well made movie they are wrong. The movie suffers from countless writing flaws and studio interference's.

there is too much **** in this movie to even try to explain it all in under 5000 words so I will tell it too you straight the critics got it right. This movie is terrible it is not well made it is terribly written and terribly edited. The only things I enjoyed in this whole film was will smith but even then I was just watching Will Smith play Will Smith. The only part of the movie where I thought that was cool was when deadshot was on the car shooting the waves of enemies. The villain is trying to learn to dance. She wants to do something evil ... kill us bases I have no clue. They have to use a flashback text images and a voice over just to explain who a character is. At the end of the movie nothing changed. The only character or story that changed or grew at all was the one who died. The joker did not even need to be in the movie save me the torture. Nothing was funny in the movie there was one person who laughed in my cinema. The music felt forced and stupid. It made me cringe who hard dc was trying to make this gotg. The ending fight scene is worse than fan4stick. The editing looks like it was done but a 5 year old. That does not even cover everything that was bad in this movie. I was going to give this a 4/10 but after thinking about it does not even deserve that. I had my expectations lowered so much I did not expect this movie to be worse than my expectations. If you enjoyed this movie good for you but you can not tell me that this movie was a well made movie you are plain and simply wrong.… Expand

Suicide Squad is a classic example of how to make an unwatchable movie. The few positives from this film are the strong acting performances across the board and a few misguided attempts at humor that gets a smile. It has a relatively decent first act and a few classic comic book shots, but overall does not save the movie from its diabolical existence. Everything from dialogue, pacing, plot, cinematography, action, internal logic, CGI, soundtrack and lighting are complete garbage. There is no attempt to make a coherent story and is only entertaining for a simple minded arsewipe. The movie can be better served as a torture tool in Guantanamo than any reason for its existence.… Expand

The cast is fine with Will Smith being a highlight singlehandedly carrying the movie with his constant quips and backstory. While the rest of the Squad is fine most could’ve benefited from giving development. Had DC taken the time to think about the larger story they could’ve developed the characters in these movies whether through their own films or having them serve as the antagonist in another DC movies. As a result, some characters are either given little to no development or are given forced exposition. It also would’ve helped if DC had realized the film needed to embrace a fun tone early on as the humor often feels quite forced breaking up what is otherwise a dull war movie. If this universe is going to continue, hopefully DC will realize what works. The scenes with Batman made me smile, which means that this universe is doing something right, when Zach Synder isn’t involved. Here’s hoping for either a better sequel, even though the Justice League reduces the need for a Suicide Squad, and the solo Batman film with Joker and Harley Quinn and/or a solo Deadshot movie. There are some good elements in this universe DC just needs to figure them out and use them.… Expand

The second act is so confusing I'm calling it the muddle act. The third act is great as all the subplots pay-off and the characters show how in this film there's no black & white, only shades of grey. This film is also a direct sequel to Batman v Superman. Given the reviews on that one I understand how that wasn't part of the marketing strategy. This film rewards fans of that film with some great moments that will pay off in the Justice League film. I think the reviewers who gave Batman v Superman bad reviews felt obligated to do the same for this film since it's part of the shared universe. I no longer care what the reviewers have to say about the DC films, as a whole they've clearly lost their objectivity and suffer from superhero fatigue. I think they're afraid that if Marvel and DC both have successful movie universes that they'll be spending most of their time reviewing superhero films. Well that ship has sailed. Suicide is going to set box office records and I personally look forward to the Suicide Squad spin-offs and sequels. Enjoy the film and be sure not to miss the post credits scene.… Expand

They just can't let their directors and writers make something without giving in to the reaction to hack it to pieces. (Idiots!)

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

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

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

I laughed a lot. And most of the action works pretty well.
Will Smith, Margo Robbie, Viola Davis and Jay Hernandez are STANDOUTS. I loved their performances as Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Amanda Waller and El Diablo, respectively.
The plot is not perfect. It has some weaknesses. and the villain is a bit uninspired. Which is unfortunate because his/her setup was thrilling.
Overall, what makes this film fly in my opinion are 1. The character. A unique and colorful mix of offbeat characters who are played exceptionally well by the actors playing them.
2. The humor. This movie is funny. Funnier than I expected.
3. The soundtrack. I loved the music.

Worst. Joker. Ever.

A soulless train wreck of a film that lacks cohesion regarding any aspect of film making: direction, dialogue, style, vision, character development, story arc, wit, etc. Margot Robbie, Viola Davis and Will Smith get through it mostly unscathed, but everyone else looks like they were given one take and whatever they produced went in the can. Cara Delevingne is just embarrassingly awkward and unbelievably inept in some scenes; what direction was she being given, if any, is perhaps a question that needs to be asked because in other scenes she's fine.
The plot is barely there: Go from A to B and kill a thing. Shoot and kill henchmen who serve no purpose other than to be shot, stabbed and whacked for 30 minutes. There's no menace from them at all, and they're absolutely no theat to any of the leads. If they hadn't been killed by the protagonist they would have stumbled and shot themselves, or slipped and dropped a grenade and taken themselves ought. There's no point to them being in the film at all other than to pad it out.
The bad guys. Couldn't care less about them. Something about world domination, everyone suffering, blah blah blah. Honestly.
The Joker: A tuneless karaoke version of a character that's supposedly driven by a twisted wit and black humour turns out to be a style-challanged two bit criminal with a dullard's delusion of being relevant. Take him out of the movie and it's essentially the same, he's an unwelcome tangent that has no bearing on anything necessary to drive the plot forward - completely understand why there's allegedly lots of him left on the edit room floor, and if he didn't have one or to scenes with Harley I'd understand why he would be cut completely from the film.
Brought our 11 year old boy to see it because we enjoyed Man of Steel and loved BvS. He never wants to see this Joker again, was bored nearly to sleep at points. How these characters fit in tonally with the previous two films isn't clear, and how any of them will fit in with future DC films is really questionable.… Expand

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

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

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

Suicide Squad was nothing but pure fun and entertainment !!!! Don't believe the truth I.e. critics as much worse movies have been given higher scores by them.

Loved Harley and Deadshot, liked Waller and Enchantress in her **** up form(not when she is all princessy), the rest where good, and i'm not quite sure where i stand on this Joker's iteration.

For me, the majority of issues are on the first 30 to 45 minutes of the film, but once it picks up you really enjoy the ride.

The plot was fairly cliche, the acting lacked cohesion and the pace felt stuttered. Jared Leto, for me, was the highlight of the film for me, a genuinely new way of looking at the Joker.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is the third movie on the DC film. All three of them, had some alien trying to destroy/take over the world. Two of them had a thunder coming out of the sky wrecking everything. I mean, arent we done with that? I was expecting a urban/gangster movie, something Tarantinoish, and not another -alien destroyed the world kind of movie-

Those trailers were AMAZING, but the movie it self wasnt good.

The cast saved the movie. Smith, Robbie an Davis were perfect for their roles. Leto could have a better role, but the script, which was pretty bad, didnt allow him to shine. And i hear the editing cut some of his parts.

Ultimately, I didn't feel like my time or money were wasted. But really, this film left me feeling sad. Sad that THIS is the Suicide Squad we got when the talent DC has compiled for this movie could have given us an actually good film. There are good pieces, even a fun moment or two, but the actual construction of this film is a complete mess.

I'll start with the good: Viola Davis is perfectly cast as Amadna Waller, Margot Robbie is the BEST part of this film as Harley Quinn, and Will Smith is...well, he's Will Smith. I'm even a fan of Jared Leto's Joker; a version that feels like the Joker without feeling like a ripoff of Hamil, Ledger, or Nicholson, though I do feel like including him here was a mistake (I'll get to that).

Most of the rest of the cast just isn't given enough to do. Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, and Adawale Akinnuoye-Agbaje all show promis as Captain Boomerang, El Diablo, and Killer Croc respectively, but they are sidelined for most of the film so we can get more time with Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg. Without wishing to belabour a point, Kinnaman sucks as Rick Flagg. Partially he just can't carry the role, but also the writing for Flagg is atrocious.

I wish this was the extent of the film's problems, but that only scratches the surface. The plot is a disjointed, jumbled mess. Some characters are given far too much time to their backstories (Harley) while others are introduced in a sentence or two (Katana) with no explanation for why they are here or what their motivations are. This isn't helped by the inclusion of the Joker scenes (I told you I'd talk about it) which add nothing to the film and only serve to make an already poorly plotted film worse. Seriously, the fact that the Joker, an entirely tangential player who never effects the plot outside of one scene (which is immediately undone), has more to do than Katana, Slipknot, Killer Croc, or Captain Boomerang (all members of the Suicide Squad) is ridiculous. A single scene from the clown at the end would have been sufficient. For what its worth, Batman also overstays his welcome, featuring heavily in both Deadshot and Harley's backstories when the film really doesn't need him there. These, combined with a clunky cameo by the Flash, makes me increasingly worried for WB's rushed attempts at a shared universe a la Marvel.

I haven't talked about the bad guys yet because there isn't much to say. Enchantress and Incubus are simply too forgettable to be of any note. Their mooks are just black blobs in human form - entirely uninteresting as enemies. Its a shame, because Enchantress seems like she could be an interesting villain when we first meet her, being used as a magic slave by Waller, but the film never commits to fleshing her out as a character and so she never moves past the one-note, "take over the world because magic" cliche.
On the subject of the mooks, here would be a good place to talk about the action scenes, which are generally uninteresting. The enemies are boring in their design, and the film actively avoids having the main characters with the most interesting styles actually use them. Heck, its even a plot point that the one with the coolest powerset (El Diablo) refuses to actually fight for most of the film. When we do see him let loose though, the cgi is too cheesey to take seriously.

And we haven't even gotten to the problems this film faces in character arcs and development. Harley is suddenly so attached to the squad because...? Deadshot likes Flagg because...? Flagg trusts the murderers and psychopaths around him enough to remove their leashes because...? The final act starts too early and drags on through too much boredom and unwieldy tonal shifts to be consistently entertaining. From the get go, every "twist" is painfully obvious or even outright explained before the twist actually comes. You will know immediately who will become the villain, who will die early to show that Waller doesn't mess around (hint: its the one who the movie forgets to introduce), who will sacrifice themselves heroically in the end, and who will ultimately turn out to be the "good guy" of the villainous squad.

Is this film an utter waste of time? If you like Harley Quinn or are ok with watching the movie for a handful of good scenes and largely sleeping for the rest of it, than go ahead. Like I said, there are enjoyable pieces. Just don't expect a good film, or even a coherent film.… Expand

I would expect a Suicide Squad movie to either be as good as this one, or better. The Writer/Director did a great job, and the Box Office/User reviews will confirm that. I hope they offer him a second installment. Lastly, if you Enjoyed Suicide Squad, check out "Batman: Assault on Arkham" DC Animated Feature.

SUICIDE SQUAD

2/1/2 STARS OUT OF 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, why was it bad?

Poor structure / story: To be honest, I don't think there even was a structure to this movie. After a rushed and choppy introduction to each of the characters, a bunch of stuff just happens for them to fight. The story is non-existent. There's no central character to follow, or even a decent villain to understand/appreciate their motives. To sum up, it seems like they changed/re-edited the film AFTER they made it. Everything is so choppy and poorly edited, that you can't help but feel large chunks of it have been left out. Undoubtedly, this is not the movie that they started with.

Forgettable action: Okay, so the plot isn't very good. But as a comic book film, the action can salvage this, right? Wrong. It's not that the action is bad. It's just that there's nothing memorable about it. Batman vs Superman had the amazing first battle (followed up by the amazing Martha Kent rescue by Batman), and Civil War had the incredible airport fight. Suicide Squad has NOTHING. It tries very hard to create one meaningful/impactful sequence with Deadshot, but it is soooo underwhelming that you begin to feel sorry for them.

Joker: If you have high hopes for the amazing Jared Leto and the iconic Joker character that's contributed to most of the movie's hype, then prepare for an epic let-down. Firstly, he barely even features throughout the two hours. And secondly his introduction and the few scenes involving him, are so rushed and pointless in the grand-scheme of whatever the plot is. Again, when they edited this, Jared Leto's Joker became somewhat of an afterthought. There was no real insight into him, no progression, and quite frankly, you quickly lose any interest in him because his role is so meaningless. It's remarkable how badly they got this wrong!

Uninteresting characters: Harley Quinn quickly grows tiresome with her dittzy/crazy demeanour. If you've caught all of the trailers and promotional material beforehand, then you've already seen her best bits. The croc dude is pointless and just growls. The fire guy has a sympathetic backstory but offers very little. Jai Courtney is quite funny as the Australian bloke. And although Though I was cynical going in, Will Smith as Deadshot was surprisingly good (so props for that).

There are many other things wrong which, at this moment, I don't have the energy to put down. And as a viewer it's becoming increasingly frustrating to not get a good stand-alone comic book movie anymore. The producers are so franchise-focused that they concentrate more on setting up future instalments, than just making a good movie.… Expand

El Diablo was very interesting to, I actually would like to see more done with him. Story was fun an even paced and I really did like the soundtrack but I am sucker for older rock. I am not going to gush over Will Smith because I see this same character in most of Will's movies. I see Will Smith not Deadshot. I am still not sure how i felt about the Joker though. Jared Leto didn't do a bad job I just think there were somethings that took me out of his character. One STOP USING THE STUPID SMILE TATTOO ON THE BACK OF THE HAND! I was disappointed in Katana you could have removed her and it would not had been a loss. The worst part of the movie to me was really the villains and even that did not bug me that much. All in all it was fun and not a waste of money to me and it really does fit in to the build up of the Justice League. So a solid 8.… Expand

I loved the movie. Basically, I loved every character and performances. I loved Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. She nailed it, as expected. Will Smith as Deadshot was awesome.

She nailed it, as expected. Will Smith as Deadshot was awesome. He fits so much into the character... But the thing I liked the most about this film was THE JOKER. What a badass gangsta Joker!!! I loved every second of him. I'm really mad about most of the Joker' scenes were cut (according to Jared Leto). But the movie as a whole wasn't so good. That was because of a predictible plot and a main villain that I personally thought was lame. Also, I think it would've been better if Rick Flag didn't appear in the movie, The squad felt so limited.... I wanted them to have more freedom! I'm putting a 10 because of all the critics saying this movie deserves a 0. It doesn't. For me it's an 8.
Finally, I want to say that I can't wait for the Blu-Ray unlimited edition of this movie to come out. I want to see all the cut scenes because I'm pretty sure the movie will be way better.… Expand

This film has some excellent moments, both stylistically and character wise, but for the most part it suffers from inconsistency and an overcrowded cast.

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.… Expand

The film was awesome. This version of the joker was mad and just kept making me want more. The story appealed exactly to the crowd that would be expected to see this movie and each character was unique and enjoyable.
