No indurance prize, no recognition, I just sat blank faced wondering how WB manage to release such a crock of ship without anyone really saying at anypoint in production "hangon, are we not making a terrible movie?" or "Surely the audience won't swallow this hack of a film after enduring BatmanVSSuperman would they?"

There's an undertone in the set up of this film of propoganda. The less than subtle approach of America to say "Hey, we can use terrorists to defend our country" whilst America is funding Saudi war on Yemen, funding terrorists they were fighting against in Afghanastan, and funding ISIS in Syria vs Assad.

Sorry - I don't mean to get political, but the obvious propaganda is strong in this one… Expand

The neon graffity thing ended up being out of place because only appeared at the beggining, like if it were part of another film or added in the middle of the production, personally wouldn't use it in a movie but would look great on a video game.

Most of the characters were underdeveloped because lack of "participation" and the ones that got time were not even close of the animated version, the writing was avarage but of the time was plain bad and hard to care about.

The actors did a respetable job nothing to complain but the material didn't give them much to work with. Except Cara Delevingne, she shouldn't keep acting.

I'm giving a extra point because the credit scene was awesome.… 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

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

Here's the thing, I didn't hate all of it. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn? Amazing. Leto as the Joker? Ridiculously underused, but other than that pretty good. Viola Davis, is, well, Viola Davis, so she is obviously a big plus. However, the 'Suicide Squad' feels less like a squad and more like a group of angry children with no personalities (except for Harley Quinn, although she had a little bit too much personality sometimes). Every attempt at an emotional scene fails miserably, because the characters are not developed in any way. You know their names and what they can do, but that's about it. The action is so bad, it's laughable and the villain almost bores you to death. It is obvious the reshoots destroyed this film and the amazing marketing is the only thing that saved this mess from also failing at the box office. I won't give it an 'Emoji Movie'-bad rating, because I didn't fall asleep, laughed at some jokes and liked the visual of the film, mostly the costumes and make-up. But oh my god, I don't know if I can sit through this again. What. a. flop.… Expand

Puede gustarte el elenco o los cambios argumentales sobre los personajes pero para ser un largometraje, de cualquier tipo, es atroz.
Tras la muerte de Superman el Gobierno decide crear un equipo élite para futuros eventos sobrehumanos, la idea juntar a un grupo de villanos con habilidades especificas ya que los héroes se mantienen reticentes de cooperar con el Estado. Parece una plan interesante pero al final resulta que el equipo debe detener a un compañero de equipo que no pudo ser contenido.
El principal problema es la edición, que causa enormes fallos argumentales, un personaje que se dice fue dañado por los recortes de escenas es el Joker, quien termina siendo un incomprendido o un odiado por los fans del archienemigo de Batman. Otro gran problema es la producción, a pesar de que los enemigos son muy genéricos uno quiere ver escenas de acción, pero la cámara está sacudiéndose, siempre a oscuras por lo que apenas se pueden apreciar los combates.
Lo único que yo puedo destacar del film es a Batman, apenas aparece, pero tiene mucha presencia y lo poco que hace es satisfactorio.
En general si no la viste aprovecha que no has perdido tu tiempo, sencillamente el resultado es mediocre para lo que uno espera, hoy en día hay muchas alternativas de películas de super héroes, y "Suicide Squad" es una opción que conviene pasar de largo.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A film that relies on pure action and a good soundtrack only became popular because of the DC characters featured in this joke of a movie. The movie fails to make me care about the characters, even with backstories, the attempt of making me feel bad for the villains and making them all appear to be "good" dulled down the tone for me. Character casting and costume/makeup were the shining stars of this film and made the trip to the theaters somewhat worth it. I noticed many unnecessary parts of this film especially the inclusion of The Joker who added nothing but filler to this film. The main "villain" of this film was so forgettable that all I truly remember of her is how she looked, I felt no need to root for either side in the battles. A pointless movie for the plot of DC and only happened because of Superman's "death" in Batman vs Superman. A dead-end movie that only worsens DC's name and makes viewers feel embarrassed as they walk out of the theater. I feel truly sorry for anyone who was introduced to DC through this movie and I hope DC forgets about this failed attempt.… Expand

I'll get this straight - I didn't know what Suicide Squad was before this movie came. When it first came out I thought it was just another action movie. But later I got to know that Joker will also be in it then I realised it's a DC movie.I'll get this straight - I didn't know what Suicide Squad was before this movie came. When it first came out I thought it was just another action movie. But later I got to know that Joker will also be in it then I realised it's a DC movie. And not just any other DC movie, it's a follow-up to Batman v Superman. I watched this movie only to see Joker, and guess what? It's the only thing I didn't get to see. Then I watched it a second time after getting my facts clear. And guess what? I still didn't like it.

I thought Suicide Squad is supposed to be something I'm too immature to understand about, but then I saw Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, an episode from Season 2 in Arrow where the Suicide Squad is shown, and the trailers of both The Suicide Squad and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Turns out it's an excellent story, which got completely butchered thanks to studio meddling and poor character design.

The characters are straight up awful. Only Harley Quinn and Deadshot were good, and that's saying something because in reality Killer Croc is my favourite character out of them all. I hated Katana the most, since she seemed to have a plot armour and yet she didn't help in anything. Amanda Waller was absolutely hateable because of how she behaved. Amanda is supposed to be a jerk, yes. But she doesn't kill her own people. And Captain Boomerang. Oh my God, how they massacred my boy! The other characters like Rick Flag, I don't even know who they are, and the movie gave me no reason to care about them.

The villains, however, were awesome. I was rooting for them, because they looked and behaved way better. Even their henchmen were cool. I wanted them to beat up the Suicide Squad and show them their place. But sadly it's a generic good guys win and bad guys lose movie, so I had no other option but to deal with it.

Many people are saying that if The Ayer Cut is released this movie will become good. I want to ask them, do you think The Ayer Cut is something like The Snyder Cut? No, it will be more like Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition, with only added runtime to explain everything and give more runtime to Joker, but it won't change the director's original vision. That will still remain the same. I may care about the characters more, but the fact that Katana and Harley Quinn have a plot armour and that no one died except Captain Boomerang won't change.

Although I'm no expert, so I do want The Ayer Cut to release. I will watch it and then I may come back to change my review. But for now, it's gonna be a bad movie for me.… Expand

A hobbled mess of a film. Completely misunderstands the source material, and the movie isn't good enough to forgive those inaccuracies.

Jared Leto had, what, 7 minutes of screen time? And that was enough to make this movie be labeled as trash. It's bad outside of him too, he's just the main one that sticks out

Instead, I am going to give you a list of recommendations based on what the marketing had people fooled into thinking Suicide Squad would be, but really wasn't.

If in a comic book movie, you are looking for:

-A good licensed soundtrack, watch Guardians of the Galaxy.
-a fun team of characters, watch The Avengers (or Guardians).
-good humor, watch Deadpool.
-realism and emotional maturity, watch The Dark Knight
-good characterization, watch Spider-Man 2.

And last, but most certainly not least:

-something cohesive, funny, tense, exciting, authentic, or even remotely entertaining, you'd have better luck with almost any other movie than Suicide Squad. It may not kill you, but it'll hurt you... really, really bad.… Expand

The first 30 mins of the movie was actually good! it introduced all the characters, made a good intro for the story and then the movie goes bad. It gets boring and long and when you watch the ending? You cant believe how bad the movie really is!

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

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

In a world where audiences cannot get enough of superheroes, comics and geeking over the impossibly feverish fade of comic book hero’s adapted onto the big screen, DC Comics is trying to cash in on this highly lucrative cinematic craze byIn a world where audiences cannot get enough of superheroes, comics and geeking over the impossibly feverish fade of comic book hero’s adapted onto the big screen, DC Comics is trying to cash in on this highly lucrative cinematic craze by developing a feature length feature, and their competition to The Avengers with Suicide Squad. Yet, if we really look at the bigger picture of Suicide Squad, one can easily see some stark differences, for example; none of the characters are really superheroes but villains; none of the characters presented are really recognizable names, with the exception of The Joker (who isn’t even a member of the squad in the film) and Harley Quinn (who is destined to become a household character by the end of this film, with the help of Margot Robbie of course), and, if not most importantly, assembling a team together, including cast and crew, that couldn’t be more, disassembled.

Quite frankly, Suicide Squad is a complete disaster and mess of a film. The writing of the film is so incoherent, it makes the objective of the team and the audience really question as to why they are doing it altogether. The direction of the film feels forced and almost lacking any artistic creativeness by David Ayer and more-so of a forced studio film shoved down the artistic team’s throat, and, the story is just convoluted, discombobulated and weak. Ayer, who was on my radar of becoming one of my fav directors, blending, almost effortlessly, the use of action with real-world comedy, thanks to the near-perfect End of Watch, **** the bed on this one.

With such star power, including the uncompromising Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, and the once attached Tom Hardy, you would think Suicide Squad was a film with some massive potential to wreck box-office havoc at the end of a very disappointing 2016. Yet, the film itself is a very sad excuse for a summer blockbuster, insulting its audience with any sort of artistic and cinematic credit.

While the narrative of the story has been told before, like seriously, almost exactly like the narrative in the first Avengers. Just to refresh, here is it; A loved one of one of the team members (Thor’s brother’s Loki in the Avengers and Nick Flag’s (Joe Kinnaman) girlfriend June Moone, also know by her villain name Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) in this one, wreck havoc on a city, a team gathers to save the city (New York City in the Avengers, Gotham in this film). Coming out of the gates, the film does not have much street credit.

Suicide Squad was easily one of the most anticipated and exciting movies of summer sixteen. The trailer, which features one of the best bands ever assembled singing one of the best musical arrangements ever created, was easily one hell of a ride to watch. Unfortunately, some of the best parts of the film were featured in the trailer, which took away and ruined the film overall, or, the music just brought the best in the footage. After all, its pretty hard not enjoying watching anything while listening to the angelic voice of Freddie Mercury.

While the movie did feature the likes of Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, the sadistic mastermind behind the formation of the Suicide Squad, in a compelling and completely engaging role as a devilish, heartless and soulless women, who takes her job WAY too seriously, the only real redemption the movie has is Will Smith and Margot Robbie, and I mention those named quite carefully. Notice how I didn’t say Deadshot and Harley Quinn, the characters these actors are playing. Smith, who is an excellent actor whom audiences love whole-heartedly, did not play an interpretation of the almost obscure comic book character. Smith, in turn, essentially just plays himself, in a film adaptation where he must kick ass, save the world and give the occasional motivational speech. Its hard not to like Will Smith in anything really (we will completely ignore After Earth), hence why much of the good criticism will come from him, but people will quickly forget that Will Smith is a likeable guy, but did he give a spot on, target approve depiction of a DC comic book baddie, heck no.

With Margot Robbie, one of the hottest and most attractive Hollywood actresses working today, its hard not to like her in anything, especially when for the duration of the film, she is featured in very sexy short-shorts and ripped nylons, as well as while the camera takes the liberty of shooting her from behind most of the time. Geeks and fanboys, compose yourself!… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now with that out of the way, time to trigger people who are super easilyDisclaimer: If you think this movie is good, good for you. I didn't. That's fine. I'm allowed to hate it. You're allowed to love it. Can't we all just get along? Now with that out of the way, time to trigger people who are super easily offendable by not liking their movie.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mauvais et médiocre.

Très mal rythmé, les scènes s'enchaînent comme des clips. D'ailleurs c'est à se demander si ce n'est assumé... La présentation des personnages est lourde et fait office de catalogue de produits. A chaque perso, une nouvelle musique cool mais ça ne suffit pas pour faire un bon film.
Passé la première partie de présentation et la mise en place de l'intrigue, le reste du film est long et monotone. On s'ennuie alors que ça dure environ 2heures, chapeau bas...
Beaucoup de répétitions de scènes ad nauseam.

Les combats sont sans plus. C'est relativement basique.

Côté scénario, il est atrocement mauvais. Le méchant est nul et on nous rejoue le coup de la destruction/domination du monde. ça en devient lassant surtout pour une équipe de super-méchants.
Et c'est là qu'on arrive à l'échec principal du film : Ce ne sont pas des supers méchants. Ils ont été repeints à coup de peinture emo/bien-pensance. [spoiler] Ils ne tuent personne "d'innocent" ou gratuitemen [/spoiler] t de tout le film. Le plus massacré est "Deadshot" par un Will Smith générique et une trahison complète du caractère du personnage des comics. Les autres personnages sont insignifiants (Boomerang, Killer Croc (qui est tout petit et ne fait pas peur), Katana (qui est juste lol). Harley Quinn est pas mal par moments. Malheureusement sa relation avec le Joker n'échappe pas au coup de pinceau de team Bisounours. Le Joker est anecdotique, sans doute trop de scènes coupées.
Il n'y a aucune tension dans ce film alors qu'on suit la "Bisoun.. pardon Suicide Squad"...
Cara Delevingne est catastrophique, le jeu zéro dans toute sa splendeur. Franchement qu'ils arrêtent avec les mannequins.

A éviter à tout prix.
A quand un bon film DC ?… Expand

Why do you have a group full of mortals that have only super skills like throwing or shooting but doesn't have any superpower (except Diablo, his power is pretty cool) going up against a powerful, full of magic villian? Don't you need at least a few of those who have superpower to deal with that?

I think it will be more interesting if they busting the whole org of mafia or some underworld gangs in my oponion.

The humour is quite alright I guess. But some are a little bit cringy.

And again, the plot is very messy.

After watching this movie, I feel very conflicted whether it is meh or just bad. But one thing I would admit though, DC's PR team is incredibly good. They already sold out the movie even before it released. They made awesome trailers, tons of promotion works and successfully make everyone hype as f. Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, even Marvel's PR team seems useless compared to them. So +1 to DC's PR team.… Expand

The baddies look like they belong in Gods of Egypt if it was made in 1999. The songs are glaringly obvious and distracting. And to top it all - I actually enjoyed Leto's Joker in the cinema but watching at home he was actually making me feel physically ill. Just an awful, awful performance. He was obviously cut from the film because he was so awful. Ultimately though it fails, as usual, because of its pathetic script. 1 point for Jai Courtney.… Expand

TheGo to see Suicide Squad they said. It will be fun they said. This movie was a mess. Summary: We are bad guys, but maybe we're misunderstood good guys, but the government is bad so to fight the common enemy we will team up, I guess.

The story telling was all over the map and the characters not very believable. The characters had no depth, they were not "complicated" they were confusing. This was a Sci-Fi channel movie with a larger budget. How was this fun? Will Smith just plays Will Smith, seen that million times. Jared Leto is a terrible Joker, I laughed at him, but not in the good way. Margot Robbie was ok. Not great, but ok.

The writing is bad, the directing is bad, and when these two things are bad - the actors, as good as they are, can't fix it. There is some pretty good acting - but their lines are horrible.
The characters are so hollow and empty - at no point in the movie was I ever convinced, even for a minute, than any character was genuine. They all behaved shifting irregularly between overdoses of eccentricity, and overdoses of seriousness.
The plot was mellow, to say the least.
The ending was so bad, so cliched, I found myself grimacing, cringing, and actually fast-forwarding an overly-smeared moment of undeserved slow-motion.
Nothing can fix bad writing combined with bad directing.
I felt genuinely sad for the actors that agreed to take part in this ridiculous creation.
I find it very sad, that managers in charge of such magnificent intellectual property characters can't find it in their minds to be original.
I kept remembering how brilliant, deep, and incredibly convincing The Dark Knight movie was, and I believe a good writer, with a good director, and obviously all this needs a competent producer - could come up with a movie to blow the audience's minds and last for years and years. The Batman proved it possible.
Suicide Squad feels like the production didn't even aim high, honestly - they knew people would pay money to see a high-budget super-villain movie, so nobody really cared if the movie itself was a complete disaster.
And this is exactly what Suicide Squad is: an unimpressive disaster of the worst kind: the boring, cliched, daddy-jokes kind.
No need to even begin to watch this - just go watch clips of the Joker & Harley on youtube - because those moments are as good as the movie gets. The rest is unnecessary garbage.… Expand

It's not a film that you watch to relax. It doesn't care in the slightest about whether you're enjoying yourself, and it doesn't give a fig for your notions of entertainment or your mental well-being. If you just watch movies for fun, this isn't for you, and no amount of insistence on my part is going to change that. But if you're interested in the limits of the cinematic form – to see just how focused, how pure and how uncompromising in its vision a film can be – Suicide Squad is unmissable. If you take the time to get into Suicide Squad’s mindset, to begin to understand the twisted way in which it operates and taste the rewards behind its cruelest plot twists, this is one of the most thrilling, most fascinating and most completely absorbing experiences in cinema.… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Junk. Let's look at logic - the premise of the movie is to assemble a team of criminals/sociopaths (with the exception of Diablo, none of them are meta-humans) to fight a magical villain? The whole point of the suicide squad in the comics was to perform black-ops type missions that could be repudiated by Argus if needed. They aren't the "anti-Justice league" or any sort of bad guy complement to a good guy hero team. So, instead of a grounded, edgy movie, we get blown up special effects similar to the last half hour of batman vs superman. Between MoS, BvS, and now Suicide Squad, I'm beginning to think that the DC cinematic universe is beyond saving and needs to be rebooted. This is a really sad thing - I'm a MAJOR DC comics fan, but this universe is off.… Expand

I think this is one of the most black-washed, violently racist movie I have seen in a while. The absolute worst, and the performance that made me lose all respect for him, came from Will Smith. I love the guy and have most of his films. When he took a gun and pointed it at a white cops head, in this time of real life death, where blacks are killing whites because of the color of their skins, for him to do this is unforgivable. He is a role model. Does he agree with the killing and violence? I guess so. Remember, this is a movie. That cop could have easily been black, but no. Instead you get the angry black man pointing a gun a a policeman's head. How anyone can be so stupid is confusing. How can anyone with a slogan that includes "lives matter" justify murdering? How can a race that complains of being treated bad because of the color of their skin treat others bad because of the color of their skin? I think the cumulative average IQ of the murderers and looters must be in the low 60's or so. How does looting stores and burning down businesses help their cause? This nation is crazy and the BLACKS HAVE DESTROYED EVERYTHING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED SINCE 1960 with "our" president encouraging them. Wow, what a crazy time to live in.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Day 1 and the DC fans are out in full force creating multiple accounts to spam 10s for a movie they probably haven't seen. Click on 95% of a '10' score and notice how the account only has ONE movie reviewed. You think they would at least remember their log ins to they can reuse them for BvS, Wonder Woman and all the future DC movies but I guess when your creating temp accounts all day that's too much work. Not even a week in and this movie has twice as many positive reviews than a movie like Furious 7, that was received well A YEAR AGO. Keep struggling to get those user scores up, boys.
Aside from the poor pacing, bad editing, so-so acting and spotty story telling, let me give you some reasons why this movie has glaring issues that fans don't want to admit to.
This movie is a perfect example of writing the story to fit the scenes that are needed, besides writing the scenes that are needed for the story. Here's just a couple examples?
We need to have Batman in this movie and show that Deadshot is a family man: Batman attacks Deadshot and his daughter in an ally and then says he doesn't want to "do this" in front of his daughter. Deadshot pulls a gun and aims it AT HIS DAUGHTER and Batman stands there with a little girl between him and a bullet. A failure on all levels.
We need to show the pyro gang-banger is a changed man: Have him stand in the middle of a fight and do nothing to show he's a pacifist. Luckily no creatures attack him so he doesn't have to fight back. Then the very next fight have some one provoke him into fighting. Mission accomplished.. I guess.
We need to remind everyone that Katana is a good guy: So she talks to her sword so Rick Flag can explain that the dead soul of her husband is in that sword. Great.
We need to show The Joker is ruthless and unstable. How about a club seen with Common not really hitting on Harley, but the Joker goes berzerk in an entire scene that makes no sense what-so-ever. And why are the Joker and his thugs all gang-bangers?
We need to show that Amanda Waller is a back stabber and can't be trusted: How about we have her kill her entire team of technicians for absolutely no reason. "They didn't have the clearance for this" For what? Their jobs? Huh?
My favorite: We need to have a end credit scene with Batman leading into Justice League: Have Bruce Wayne approach the coldest most ruthless woman in the world and ask for a list of meta humans. She figures out he's Batman, of course. Smooth move "Greatest Detective." Why didn't he just steal the information and remain anonymous? Better yet, didn't he get this information already from Wonder Woman in BvS?
Many character got 2 introductions and a special flashback just to bring on the 'feels" but it all felt jarring and took us out of the action. I didn't know a movie could have ADD.
Due to all the exposition and origin stories needed the movie felt crowded and rushed. That's the downside of rushing into the team up movies in a shared universe with all new characters. They had 7+ characters to explain. Did they all need origins? Too bad there weren't previous movies to do that ahead of time. They tried something different than Marvel's slow and steady method and it's starting to show cracks in the DCEU foundation.
And the biggest one: Why is a Suicide Squad even needed. This is a world were we see the Flash and Batman exist IN THE SAME MOVIE! The world is being destroyed and these heroes do nothing about it? And why would a handful of untrustworthy thugs with knives, boomerangs, bats and claws be better than some highly trained and well-armed soldiers? They even had some soldiers in the Squad to keep them in check so why bother bringing the bad guys? Because that story need to happen.
Why was the Squad being formed in the first place? What was the mission? By the time they are being selected, Enchantress goes rogue and they are used to stop her. So why were they formed in the first place? To fight a possible "bad" superman-like meta human? What are a bunch of non-meta humans with guns, boomerangs and bats going to do against a real meta human? The only Squaddies worth their weight were Deadshot and Diablo. Why don't you ask any of the good guys in that list you gave Bruce Wayne, Amanda Waller? Because this story needed to happen.
Now let's talk about the worst Joker we've ever seen on screen. This is a buff Joker with tats all over, "Damaged" written across his forehead and a metal grill in his mouth! Really!?! The Joker can't even speak or laugh menacingly due to all the metal in his mouth. DC fans are content with this? It's like they have been starving so long for a DC cinematic universe they will devour anything that's put in front of them. The opening weekend will be record breaking... the movies will break even... and WB will learn nothing from their mistakes.… Expand

Suicide Squad has been frequently compared to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy because they were both outlier comic book characters that tended to be a little more subversive and irreverent. Low expectations, light marketing and a mostly no name cast preceded the premiere. Two of the characters were a tree with a one word vocabulary and a snarky CGI racoon. On the other hand, Suicide Squad seems like it has been aggressively .marketed for years and contains an all star cast. WB films are so insanely frontloaded with advance ticket sales and wild expectation that record opening weekends are all but guaranteed. I suspect marginal word of mouth will kill momentum for Suicide Squad before its second weekend and experience a 70%+ drop in box office, similar to B v S.

I wish I would have skipped this and waited for it to appear on cable.… Expand

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...

Since it's faster to tell you what's good about this movie than what's bad, here we go: Margot Robbie ! ...and the way she manages to give life to a character that suffers - like every character in this movie - from the god awful dialogues,Since it's faster to tell you what's good about this movie than what's bad, here we go: Margot Robbie ! ...and the way she manages to give life to a character that suffers - like every character in this movie - from the god awful dialogues, the bad costumes, bad acting, the wannabe-try-hard-complete-fail-coolness, and the terrible plot. Of course this is far from saving the movie!

1. Dialogues: some of the worst c*** I've heard in a long while. uncool, meaningless, unfunny, far from gritty, farther from credible. example:
HARLEY QUIN, looking at KILLER CROC: "He's ugly on the outside, too."
KILLER CROC: "Not me shorty (long dramatic pause) I'm beautiful."
HARLEY QUIN: "Yeah, you are."
KILLER CROC growls

Me thinking:...that supposed to be funny, cool, meaningful, gritty, mysterious....or is it just C**P! Movie is full of this.

2. Bad Costumes: either boring, not befitting of a modern version of the villain or just plain hilarious like the enchantress.

3. Bad acting: will smith is will smith. Delevingne portraits the enchantress like a cheap B-movie witch, Kinnaman desperately trying to sell us the tough guy. everyone else (except Margot Robbie) fails or doesn't get the chance to be anything meaningful.

4. Bad actor choice: Delevingne, Smith, Joel Kinnaman don't fit into their roles. especially Delevingne looks like a teenager although she is supposed to be an archaeologist.

5. action: wave of useless minions which don't pose a threat anyways - meaningless trash talk - wave of useless minions posing even less of a threat - meaningless trash talk - wave of minions - trash talk - uninspired, short and boring boss fight - more meaningless trash talk that no human with a brain could emotionally or intellectually relate to. If at least the action scenes would show something spectacular or creative or flabbergasting..but...nope. We get good old Steven Seagal B-movie fight scenes of the 90's.

6. plot: irrelevant

7. character development: no (unless u browse Wikipedia while watching)

8. the joker: One major reason for me to go see this flick was the joker. Unfortunately he almost never shows up and when he does, his appearances are so short that Jared Leto can't really shape his personal take on the new joker. That's why I want to be cautious in judging him and his performance. I can't say that I liked the new Joker as much as I did Jack Nicholson's or Heath Ledger's, but given the circumstances he did an OK job.

Conclusion: definitely among the worst movies of the past ten years considering the amount of money and actor-potential involved.… Expand

The worse a movie is rated the better it does at the box office. Proof that most theatergoers don't read reviews. Dead giveaway: this has Will Smith in it. Simply one of those people who was in the right place at the right time. Except thinkThe worse a movie is rated the better it does at the box office. Proof that most theatergoers don't read reviews.
