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

There's not enough Joker, which is a shame. But Deadshot and Harley Quinn are great leading characters. And at least it's funny. I like that it doesn't take itself too seriously. So I'd say it's an OK film, I liked it but I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't.… Expand

The look ofSuicide Squad was one of my most anticipated movies. of 2016 One of the main reason is because it looked so different and unique. After finally seeing it I will say I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining this movie is. The look of the film, the costumes and overall aesthetic won me over. The humor was great. 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.
4. The overall design. I wanted to see more of this world.
A definite recommend!… Expand

Great popcorn flick. Critics had me fooled. The movie is judged way too harsh. Clearly a casual flick meant to just be enjoyed. Which is what most people want when going to see these films.

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

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

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

All in all not a perfect film but entertaining and funny.

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

Suicide Squad – the film most of us couldn’t wait to see. The trailers looked awesome, crazy, highly inventive and just wow! But what did we get? A strong “meh”. About half of the first act (if not more…) is spent on character introductions. Just the structure and editing alone are very choppy. The story didn’t give anything impressive to the screen, most of the time. Sure, I must admit that I couldn’t wait to see all these characters in action, but even then it wasn’t enough. Yes some impressive action-pieces is on place, but they’re mostly uninventive. The pacing neither made it greater – there are serious issues when going from pure action, to slow dialog. Still; I admire the courage to have so many characters in one film – and they try to establish some depth to the main characters. I mostly enjoyed all of them – but there isn’t that much depth to any of them. They’re all right on the surface, but not more. Add a cliché-ish villain, an overly filled third act with expositions, & an unnecessary subplot that changed the focus away from the main story. Well what a “meh”. It even felt like the film didn’t want to achieve its goal – in this case; to save the world. But let’s take away the criticism for a minute. Will Smith is a gigantic plus, and the chemistry between most of the characters is natural and they’re really likable! Really! The humor though – isn’t that impressive. They tried, but never got my interest. ‘Suicide Squad’ is from my point of view a letdown – but it’s still not horrible. The plot had some fragments of fun, and I really enjoyed the crazy individuals! But I hope DC will improve!

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

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

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

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

The movie starts off with a bang, bringing us the excitement that the trailers would have us believe, but then after only 1/3 of the way through it turns bland, boring, predictable and just a mess, kind of like Batman v Superman only swapping the end with the start.

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

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

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

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

It's not a masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's an action movie, expecting this to live up to some standard no superhero movie has achieved is like watching a Pixar movie and complaining there was no grand plot.

The movie has some cool moments - I especially liked the transformation of Enchantress - and funny moments with Harley involving herself in most of those. Harley and Deadshot which were both portrayed very well by both actors. I had my doubts about casting Smith for Deadshot, but he did an excellent job. And Margot Robbie was the perfect Harley Quinn, being a blend of both the cartoon and the comics in one.

My only gripe is where the team got mad at Flag when they read some top secret documents, as if that was somehow worse than getting sent on a suicide mission. Moreso that Katana would be mad as well, which makes little sense. Apart from that I enjoyed the movie, and would easily recommend it to anybody looking for some light entertainment.… Expand

This is one of the worst films of the year 2016. The number of people gave 6.6. It voices of stupid Americans. This film is one big mess, without rhyme or reason.

Once again the critics have proved themselves to be out of touch and irrelevant as last night I watched one of the most fun movies in an age at the cinema and literally left the theatre grinning from ear to ear.

Late twenties Rotten Tomatoes score??? Not even anywhere close to representing the film I experienced.

Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto et al, absolutely nailed it and David Ayer's recent twitter post played out for me throughout the entire film... Zapata quote is my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life. ❤️ The soundtrack and original score are also both fantastic and the mid credits stinger is just the icing on the cake.

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

This film is far from perfect and has many flaws such as a slow beginning, imbalanced tones, and sense of character use but this is a simple to understand with all character's motives understandable. The main baddies and the actors that played them each got a time to shine with the main spotlight on Harley Quinn and Deadshot with a great cameo by Joker who doesn't get enough screen time. My favorite character was Captain Boomerang who the actor just seemed to have fun with playing a murderous, drunken, brony thief and every time he was on screen it was a delight. Katana felt a little underused and perhaps didn't really need a backstory. Diablo felt underserved at first then he went to help show his true colors and shined. The villains of the movie were actually somewhat interesting bringing the classic villain who wants to rule the world to the stage. Ultimately, Suicide Squad is an imbalanced film that isn't perfect and no Deadpool, Marvel Avengers, or Guardians of the Galaxy but it isn't a Batman V Superman, Man of Steel, or X Men Apocalypse. I would recommend you go into this movie with an open mind and heart… Expand

It IS a really good movie for younger audience but I wish they went back to the Dark Knight format where the movie was not only a money maker but also an amazing piece of art. Great job to everyone who participated in making absolutely the most out of what WB allowed them to do.

Joker had pretty much nothing to do with the movie, he shouldnt even be there, maybe in a pos credit scene.

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.

It is better than Batman v Superman, but still has a lot to work on.… Expand

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

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

- Coisas que eu não gostei:

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

- Considerações Finais:

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

"Onde há fumaça, há fogo".

Abraços.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had a chance to be really good, it had a lot of good talent. Main problem for me was the villain, the Enchantress. The plot is there is super powerful witch getting ready to destroy the planet, so let's send in a guy with a gun, a girl with a bat, a crocodile man, a guy who can control fire, and some others to take her down. If you can get past this point of the movie I think you will walk away pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed Will Smith as dead shot and there are some really good action scenes in the movie. Not sure what to think about the Joker, he really could have been left out of the film entirely and it wouldn't have changed anything. I'd recommend seeing it, but only once you can rent it.… Expand

DC movies are supposedly dark and gritty and this movie was supposed to be a breath of fresh air, a fun-filled foul-mouthed screw-you to comic tropes. It is a terrible shame, then, that it follows these tropes to a 'T'. The movie is very predictable, and anyone who has watched any kind of action movie before can tell what comes next. The special effects and cinematography, which could excuse that, aren't anything to write home about either.

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

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

Characters are introduced left and right, some even half-way through the film. And 'characters' would be a generous term, as none of them have any to speak of.

Understood that the film focus was the "Suicide Squad" not the Bats or Mr. J (Affleck and Leto nailed both roles btw.) Knowing this going in eliminates cameo expectations. Timeline was perfect following BvsS. The cast were great for each of their roles, they captured the spirit and essence of their comic characters. Looking forward to a sequel. The only reason not a 10, there was awkward slow down pacing in some scenes which seemed like some editing was over-sighted. The color in scenes were focused to the characters just as a comic which I thought was captured masterfully. It kept focus on characters both verbal and non-verbal communication. Integrating these characters to "live action" was done perfectly I thought in just one film, that had to be hard to do. The dynamics between Harley and Joker were intense excitement leaving you wanting more. The rage and sarcasm in Capt Boomerang was solid and fun; the intimidation and power was found in Killer Croc; the heated internal passion was in Diablo, Enchantress was dark and powerful, Col Flagg had realistic heroic presence, Katana was energetic and passionate; Quinn was sexy, fun, sadistic; Deadshot was a deadly assassin with something to lose (you usually do not ever see that combo and it was flawlessly executed.) I appreciate that the film was made for fans not theatrical professors. I am intrigued to see how all the characters develop in upcoming sequels and thought the cast was perfect. Will go see this movie again and purchase Blu-Ray upon release.… Expand

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

Lets start off with the characters, deadshot was pretty awesome, not just in action, but in character development. He was also really funny and probually one of the most relatable characters in the movie. Harly quinn was fantastic in this film. Not only does she have the feel and humour of the character from the comics, but she was had moments that really surprised me. The joker has serious potential for the little screen time he had if he's in the new batman solo film. Side characters are good, but some just don't get enough development. The story has it's flaws. Somtimes, it doesn't explain why the characters are here, and its plot is just a simple this person wants to take over the world plot, but at least they explained the plot in a pretty funny way. Speaking of funny this movies jokes are pretty funny, with it adding more fun to the dc cinematic universe. The action sequences are also entertaining to watch. And when it comes to character motivation, it's much better than batman vs superman. I feel as if why the characters are doing what there doing makes sense. Overall you may like it, you may not, but think you should definitely check it out to see what you think.… Expand

Some of the "Jokes" didn't land perfectly for me, however, just like in real life, people often say what they would think is funny, and everyone will just look at them in awe of them saying something so predictable. 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. Its a "Suicide Squad Movie" but animated, and actually has more blood than the live action one.… Expand

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

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

2/1/2 STARS OUT OF 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's not perfect (most films aren't) but it will be enjoyable if your just looking for two hours of entertainment. Most of the characters are bearable. Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn (outside a couple of corny jokes), and Deadshot. But I think there was a forced energyless conflict which turned out to be a lot more anti-climatic than you think, but its a satisfying end. I'd check it out if your looking for a superhero movie different from any Marvel or DC movie for that matter. A LOT better than Batman v Superman (A LOT), and I liked it more than Man of Steel at least.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gotta say this film had the best marketing campaign of any film ever. No one can forget how hyped up this film was. But hype can be detriment if the film can't meet expectations. This film certainly didn't. Suicide Squad starts out OK then crashes and burns. I really wanted to like this movie but it was just impossible. There was no character development at all, the CGI was freakin terrible, the editing sucked, the main villain had potential to be awesome but they didn't use her at all, and it was super predictable. I did like some of the characters. Margot Robbie was good as Harley Quinn, Will Smith was such a likable character as Deadshot, Jai Courtney did the impossible and was good in a movie, and Jared Leto was easily the best part of this movie. He killed it as joker but there is one complaint I have with his character, he's in it for like twenty minutes. Every time he was about to do something that you wanted to see the scene just ends. Joel Kinnaman was fine but his character had really corny lines at times, El Diablo was alright, I didn't really like Killer Croc,I really wanted to like Enchantress but the way they used her was pretty boring and the movie just felt incomplete. Batman is in it for a little bit in the very beginning and it made me think to myself during the final battle "where the hell is batman during all of this?" The movie doesn't take place in gotham but we saw he has a jet in B v S. There were so many plot holes and the ending of the movie is so rushed and half assed. Suicide Squad wasn't just a disappointing movie but it's a bad movie.… Expand

Falling in love with characters like Croc and Boomerang was unexpected and watching [all of] their interactions change from silly and overly confident to deeply introspective and contemplative when the odds shifted was a ride.

A group of supervillains is promised time off their jailAfter so much hype, so many hopes, and so many talks about the casting and storyline, Suicide Squad is here, and it is fantastic......in parts. First of all, let's discuss the story. A group of supervillains is promised time off their jail sentences if they succeed in a mission deemed to dangerous for soldiers to do. It is nothing special and expect a few plot twists in DC movie fashion. This movie is full of big names, and most of them shine, notably Will Smith, Viola Davis and Margot Robbie. Will Smith's Deadshot is a fully fleshed out character, and not just your average hitman. It becomes evident in the first half that this is Smith's film to take.....until you see Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). She is probably the only character done without flaw in this movie, equal parts crazy and equal parts sexy. Other than that, Viola Davis does an amazing job as Amanda Waller, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo was fine, but he got a good amount of screen time and backstory for me to say that he was very well fleshed out. Enchantress also has a bit of backup story, and Cara is fine in her role. Everybody else, including Slipknot, Katana, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and Scott Eastwood's character, were basically left in the dust. I know you cannot cram in a lot of backstories in a single film, but a little something about them would help. They basically follow the Squad around and kill a few here and there, but even their wit and charm cannot save them from being overshadowed by the bigger names. Speaking of big names, let's talk about Jared Leto's Joker. And I have to say he does an amazing job, and I really enjoyed when he was on the screen......which is not that often. Leto has about 6 or 7 minutes of screen time and shows up mostly in flashbacks of Harley Quinn. A little disappointing for fans who want to see the movie exclusively for him. The film's tone changes gradually from a little happy here to deliciously evil, and that is what makes this a fresh change from usual comic book movies. David Ayer has a great vision, and he executes very well throughout. There are some beautiful scenes in the film, particularly Joker and Harley's ''Chemical Wedding" which was shot extremely well and is one of my favorite sequences from the entire film. Then you have the humor, which was also a top notch element to the movie. Really, this a comedy above all else, a fresher take from the usual DC films. This film is really fun to watch when sh*t hits the fan, the characters bond, there is a decent amount of dialogue between them, and they ultimately ACTUALLY become a legitimate "Squad". And that is why Suicide Squad excels in characters, not only they bond, but their weaknesses are why they are here. There is some choppy editing in parts and some scenes from the trailers never show up here. But, whatever was given to us, was a well acted, funny romp that takes advantage of the great characters in the DC Universe and never shies away from silliness. This is a GOOD movie, it may be flawed, and Joker may not shine here, but Suicide Squad is a silly, funny and jam-packed blockbuster. Do not miss it this weekend.… Expand

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

Why does this movie get hated? Most of reviews don't really tell a single reason why the movie is bad. The movie is great cause the characters are great, keeping you on the edge on your seat, and much more.

We watched the "Suicide Squad". And I want more.

Yes, again, the critics trashed the film DC, Yes, the Director pressed the Studio, the editor wants to tear his hands and dialogues could be significantly better. But, damn, do not beWe watched the "Suicide Squad". And I want more.

Yes, again, the critics trashed the film DC, Yes, the Director pressed the Studio, the editor wants to tear his hands and dialogues could be significantly better.

But, damn, do not be boring. From the mess of colors, characters and music shines with such charm that it is impossible not to admire. This is probably the best comic book movie of all time was released: the frames are to each other, one scene after another, and you feel like turning over the pages of a comic book like panels lining up in the story. Yes, this film is not for everyone. But unlike "Batman vs. Superman", which we still can't speak without shame, and is ready to discuss only drunk like a childhood trauma, this film clearly does not deserve much Haight. Margot Robbie pulls out into every scene, her Harley already included in the Golden Fund of legendary characters of mass culture, and damn the chemistry between her and the Joker is just incredible. This pair of pearl film, they fall in love in just a second and they want to see it again and again. Harley solo album, solo album the Joker, sitcom, musical, anything, but let us take a look at these two again. They are not just crazy, they are crazy, and repulsed the lovely couple comic book movie.

In short, you understand. Don't listen to anyone - definitely worth a go, at least in order to make your own opinion, will fall in love with gangsters on acid, and update your playlist.… Expand

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

PROS

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

CONS

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

As i expected the critics are just stupid... and haters... (most of them)

Just the movie i expected... the characters are awesome, this is not a Joker or a Batman movie, and a lot of people is throwing **** because of that.

The story is simple.. the characters are presented in a simple way, with a little sample of their past, and that is ok, the thing is Warner people is feeling rushed to achieve the same succes as Marvel, and that is keeping them repeating some mistakes, but definitely they are putting their **** together in order to bring alive their universe.universe.

The cast is amazing, and i am sure they can do a lot more in a sequel or in the new Batman Saga.

How about some Deathstroke??… Expand

Once again I have become dismayed with the majority of major film critics with the exception of Dan Jolin from Empire being the exception in this case with a fair review. Suicide Squad is a delight. It is the quintessential Dirty Dozen of superhero movies that nothing else; including from Marvel has quite matched yet. The plot is indeed a little bit thinner then Batman v Superman which is not a bad thing in this case. The movie revels in its characters and has fun with them. You can tell the director enjoys working with an ensemble cast which is no surprise coming from David Ayer of Fury and End of Watch. Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller are the key scene stealers in this film. I was surprised to see even some of the characters that I thought would get ignored did not, and had a big impact to include Jay Hernandez as El Diablo and Killer Croc. The main bad guys are not nearly as well fleshed out as the good bad guys in this case, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag has a hard time keeping up with Will Smith outclassing him, and while he plays the straight boy scout just fine it is hard to enjoy the character when so many others are fun. Now I come to Jared Leto as The Joker. Leto plays his joker with a modern gangster edge, but sprinkles in a little bit of classic 30's James Cagney from the public enemy. There is not enough Joker in this film to make a full determination or comparison to Ledger or Nicholson however, but enough to whet your appetite for the next Batman film. The movie is funny and has plenty of action to boot for the average moviegoer to enjoy without having to jump into comics to understand what is going on. Fans of DC Comics will appreciate the easter eggs, surprises, and post credits sequences. A lackluster villain and thin story aside; this is a funny and exciting film designed for you to enjoy the characters, cameraderie, and action while building on the existing DC Extended Universe.

I really enjoyed this movie. I thought the characters were handled well, the flashbacks for the characters were well done, overall a very cool movie. DC has a different way of doing superhero movies, the world is darker for the most part. II really enjoyed this movie.

Fun movie to watch. Harley and Deadshot were amazing. Amanda Waller, she just ooozed Jerk (which is what she is). Cpt Boomerang was good too.. the rest of the characters could have been utilized a bit better but overall a good movie
