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.

[Spoiler Alert] This is a very fun movie!!! There are some questionable editing choices, but overall the film is thoroughly enjoyable and different than most of the comic book movies out there.

Pros:
- Excellent casting choices. Love Jared Leto's Joker, and Margot Robbie's Harley, and the dynamic between the two of them. Have to see more of these 2 together in further DC Movies. Will Smith was bang on as Deadshot, Viola Davis makes a perfect Amanda Waller (is she the true villain? Hmmm). Rounding it out with Rick Flagg, Killer Croc, El Diablo and Katana.
- Soundtrack!!! Songs choices served to only enhance each scene and were perfectly chosen
- Humour! About time DC introduced some humour in their movies, and it works, without detracting from the serious tone with which underlie DC movies, and there are scenes that carry some emotional gravitas.
- Action! Hey what's a cb movie without great action scenes.

Cons:
- Weak villain. Another weak/underdeveloped villain in a cb movie is nothing new, but I'm hoping one of these movies give me a true villain worth contending with some time in the near future. Loki remains one of the top ones of course ;)
- Some of the suicide squad characters remained underdeveloped.
- Steven Price's score was phenomenal when it was heard. Thought it should have been used a bit more.

All in all, I left the theatre very satisfied and wanting see more of Suicide Squad in the future!!!!

A very entertaining and fun film with great action and enjoyable characters. Even though the film is very entertaining from beginning to end, it doesn't mean that the overall film is great.
The story to the film, villain and the mission that the squad was on is really lame. It might be the worst comicbook movie villain of all time. The horrible villain and mission might pull audience away from enjoying the movie. The sub-plots that focused on the individuals characters are much better than the main plot.
The highlight characters of the squad are Harley Quinn, Deadshot and El Diablo. The audience might leave the theater learning a lot about El Diablo. His story was very entertaining.
Amanda Waller was outstanding in every scene. She was so evil and mean, that it made the Sqaud look like heroes.
The best scenes from the movie came from Quinn/Joker. IT's hard to compare him to the other Jokers with so little screen time. This Joker is very scary and gangster.
The squad working together is a part that made the movie entertaining. Ayer did a great job with keeping the scenes with the Squad, entertaining . Even the dark moments with the Squad was very entertaining.
The story is a huge problem in this film. It is so awful that it might take away the enjoyment of the film. How did the people over at Warners Bros let Ayer shoot this script? DC has so many good villains, but they went with a horrible villian. The villains and mission made SS very campy. It made it into a grindhouse teen movie.
I would love to see the Suicide Squad on another mission. Ayer did good directing this horrible story film. There are more positives than negatives, but the awful story is a huge problem for this film.
In conclusion, this movie is a very action packed, entertaining,fun movie to watch, with the worst story, villain, mission of all time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's clear that Marvel has its game together and all of these DC conversions to the big screen are increasingly coming across as mediocre. I had this idea that Suicide Squad was going to be The Dark Knight, where sociopaths and murderous villains would force a more serious film with a dark sense of humor (think the chaotic strategy of Heath Ledger's Joker influencing the entire "Suicide Squad"). Suicide Squad is instead a more fluffy and imbalanced film with tons of great characters that are poorly utilized. Shame on Warner Bros. for basically failing to convert such cool source material. This is evidence that DC needs to align with writers and directors of Marvel movies to get stuff done, or have Christopher Nolan do everything that is within the DC universe, because between this and Superman vs. Batman, these franchises are being driven into the ground hard. I won't fault anyone for seeing this movie as the premise is great, yet I won't tell anyone to spend their money to watch it in theaters either. It's your choice and your money - do with it what you will. Expand

Didn't live up to what I wanted or compare to even the weakest of the Marvel movies, but despite that I still had fun watching it. Margot Robbie and Will Smith were great for the most part.

Here's what they did wrong.

- Weak plot
- Corny one liners (some cringe worthy)
- Questionably written dialog (introduction of Katana is almost unwatchable)...
- Action is bland and generic for the most part.
- Tone issues (tries to be too serious at times and is generally not funny despite the effort).
- The first quarter and 3 quarter of the movie seem to drag on too long with out much going on
- Villains are forgettable and have no depth or reasonably explained motivation.
- Where are the "Bad Guys"? Harley and Deadshot both have way too much of a conscience for the mass murders they are supposed to be.

I'm a bit more harsh on it b/c I'm a fan and think it could have been done better, but over all it's not a bad movie.

This DC tent-pole should have been the counterpart of Marvel's Guardians of the galaxy back in 2014. Secondly it was also considered as something that drives DCEU into the safe zone as BvS was considered a miss with the critics, although financially hit.

Let's do the short breakdown. Jared Leto's potential is wasted here. The movie has snippets of Joker joined together when there should have been a continuous non-narrative flashback sequence with Dr. Quinzel aligning it with Quinn's introduction. The muddled screenplay driving the plot out of the Squad team targeting their antagonist is what affects this movie as a whole beyond redemption.

The movie scores with Deadshot-Quinn duo much better, even with finite amount of screen time. Jai Courtney's Boomerang suffers high volume of injustice. The only thing that lifted this movie's spirits were the mid credits scene that links it with DCEU supposedly advancing further. I'd still give the movie a 6/10 and it deserves nothing more.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I could careless for comic book movies. I find most of them boring and overloaded with obvious cgi, but.....This was suppose to be the summer's answer to Deadpool( he owned the winter). Let's keep it dark and fun with a PG-13 rating.

The Good:
-Will Smith (Deadshot), Viola Davis(Amanda Waller) Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Margot Robbie(Harley Quinn)
- The soundtrack

The Bad:
- The Enchantress
- The Joker aka Proud Member the Juggalo Fan Club
- CGI CRAPFEST
- The editing
- The dialogue (prepare to listen to repeated lines)
- Those tar/rock eyeball creatures (They reminded of those black globs a goo you fight off in the Where the Wild Things video game - Which is also a Warner Bros property.)
- Similar plot to Escape From New York (Get the bad to do work for the government, inject them with a poison/explosive to follow their orders, send them to some place to retrieve the heart from a leprechaun.(I made that last one up, but you get the idea.)
- The Indian and the Mexican might not make it out alive
- Phoned in cameos
- Not dark enough
- Not fun enough
- The Enchantress's dancing (very laughable)
- Boring set pieces ( city streets, a subway, a bar, an office building, and a sewer)
- Why was The Joker even in this?
- Not enough unicorns
- Why not show off all of the characters intros?
- Why not show off all of the characters wishes?
- An R rating couldn't have saved this morning

The characters were actually pretty decent. They had a nice chemistry together, especially with Deadshot and Harley Quinn. If you're going to see the movie just for Joker, you will be disappointed, because Warner Bros decided to cut out some of the scenes with him. I think the movie would've been a bit better if there was more Joker. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a definitely bad movie, but a total disappointment of my expectations. The subject was wonderful, the cast was great, it really had the potential to be an amazing movie, different from the other superhero-movies we hot this year. But it didn't. When they showed us the background of every single member of the squad (in a very lame way) but one, was it even possible not to guess that he was going to die first? That was way too predictable. The mood wasn't half as dark as it should have been and the antagonist was just another super-powerful, supernatural, super-boring being, when there are tons of more human and insane Batman villains who could have been way more interesting foes for the squad. And then there was Joker. Let's be honest, I liked Leto's Joker a lot, seriously, but why was he there for just two or three scenes? The movie would have gone on perfectly even if he wasn't there at all, they just put it in there to attract customers! That was very frustrating, especially after all the hype they created for him! If he had been the villain of the movie, the result would probably have been much, much better! Instead, this turned out to be the story of people bad, but not quite enough, forced to do serve the government by doing dirty, but not quite enough, missions, fighting a dangerous, but not quite enough, entity, in a dark, but not quite enough, mood, while behaving in a funny way, but either not quite enough or too much. It was like seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy stuck in a Nolan's Batman movie. Awkward and pathetic. Expand

This does notBefore I start, let's be totally honest here and address the elephant in the room - while I LOVED it, I get that Suicide Squad isn't for everyone. I do however think that the negative response has been ridiculously overblown. This does not deserve to be the most hated film of the year by any means. I'm often bewildered by the negative hyperbole generated by film journalism these days.

Anyway, on to the review.

When the film started, I have to admit that I was unsure. The opening of the film is choppy, and almost put me off it completely. However, the awesome cameo appearance of a certain character around the 10-15 minute mark sucked me in, and from that point onwards I was along for the ride.

One thing I found myself surprised by is that things that many would cite as negatives actually contributed to my enjoyment of the film. Suicide Squad has a very unconventional structure, its pacing and layout can at times be completely insane - and for me this was actually a GOOD thing. Some have labelled these choices as incoherent rambling, I on the other hand praise David Ayer for having the guts to do something completely different from any comic book movie I've seen prior. Not only did I find the crazy nature of this film a refreshing break from the all-too-safe norm, but I find that it actually perfectly personified the subversive and insane style of some of the best comic books featuring these characters (check out Conner and Palmiotti's initial run of Harley Quinn or the recent reboot of Suicide Squad under DC's "Rebirth" brand to see what I mean).
Another fantastic factor of this film is the aesthetics. The pulpy and often deliberately garish art direction of Suicide Squad will inevitably turn some people away, but I for one loved it. It makes the film pop, and especially suits its characters.

On the subject of characters, that's where the biggest strengths of this film lie. The biggest standouts are Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Will Smith's Deadshot and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller. Margot Robbie is exactly as perfect a Harley as you'd expect her to be. She's stunning, adorable and insanely lethal. I'm a die hard fan of this character, and I can say with confidence that she is done justice. Keep your eye out for some stellar moments of fan service. Will Smith's Deadshot is cool as ice, but plays a large part in the unexpected injection of heart in this film. He's a blast to watch. Amanda Waller is played by Viola Davis to haunting perfection, she's the shady government operative responsible for the Squad's creation, and an intimidating lady you don't want to mess with. As Deadshot would say, she's "gangsta". Even the often hated Jai Courtney was hilarious as the cantankerous Captain Boomerang.

One of the best things about this film are the many cameos which give us a tantalising glimpse at the larger DC universe, and by far my favourite of these is Jared Leto's Joker. And yes, despite being a central figure in the film's marketing, he is just a cameo - but a damn great one. Leto's Joker has been the divisive topic of much controversy, but I'm on board with him. He's a different and contemporary but not necessarily new version of the character, and I can't wait to see where he goes from here.

Now before anyone trashes me for being a DC fanboy blinded by hype, let me talk about the film's negative aspects:

As mentioned earlier, I found the first 10 - 15 minutes of the film to be put together in a somewhat shoddy and off-putting manner.

Some of the editing choices in the film ranged from questionable to irritating. While I overall loved the insane and unconventional structure, there were a handful of moments scattered across the film where it didn't quite work, leading to the feeling that certain shots or scenes that should have been in the movie were missing.

One of the film's three main antagonists (yes, there are three) is severely undeveloped, and amounts to something pretty forgettable and lame.

There is an action scene shot completely in fog, and it's pretty difficult and a little frustrating to discern what's going on.

These flaws exist, and the movie is far from perfect. But unlike the flaws of the previous film in this franchise "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", these flaws do not cripple the film when it is looked at as a sum of its parts.

Summary:
Suicide Squad is a radically different comic book movie to any of its predecessors, and despite what most have suggested, it's insanely sewn together brand of craziness actually serves the film rather than hurting it. If you are a comic book reader and/or love the characters, there's a good chance you will love this movie. If you're a more casual movie fan looking for a refreshing break from the all-too-safe norm, this subversively wacky ride might just be for you.

My final rating:
7.5/10
B+

The villain was good for their first mission, but not as great as I expected. Although, it fit well with the story that didn't need the JL characters or left you wondering how come the one of the JL members isn't handling this.

All Hail The Suicide Squad! Our Saviors of the DCEU. Don't listen to the critics. Go see this movie, because it is FAN-F-ING-TASTIC and F-ING RAD. The DCEU's best yet.

Pros:

- Margot Robbie embodied Harley Quinn and nailed her. All I can say is Warner Bros., green light her solo movie for the big screen.

- Will Smith shined as Deadshot. And, when he got his moment in the movie, everyone in my theater clapped.

- Viola Davis showed her fear as Amanda Waller and proved she's not one to mess with.

- El Diablo was the one who surprised me and had a great arc in the movie. And, when the huge moment happens to him in the big finale, people will go nuts in a good way.

- Rick Flagg also gets a good arc in this movie as he struggles to save his love while honor his duties and it pays off well.

- Jai Courtney happened with Boomerang. Even if he was reduced to comic relief, he was still fun to laugh with.

- I also really liked how the movie in the opening addressed the aftermath of Batman V Superman's when we see the influence Superman's sacrifice gave the world. And, this movie really set up a lot for where the future of the DCEU is headed, especially in the film's mid-credits scene, which you all should stay for.

- Now, it is true we didn't get a lot of Jared Leto's Joker in this movie, but, when he was on screen, I thought he played the Joker well. And, Heath Ledger is still the best. But, Jared Leto's Joker when he did show up on screen was cool. I hope we see more of him in the DCEU, soon.

- How Batman fits into this movie works well. And, the surprise JL cameo of [SPOILER ALERT] The Flash works well with Boomerang's backstory. And, I hope we see those two fight each other in the 2018 Flash solo movie soon.

- The music worked well, especially when Eminem's Without Me played, that really impressed me.

- Killer Croc is what he is and is not bad.

- Katana doesn't get much to do, but, when she speaks to her husband's soul in her sword before she goes into battle, I thought it was a sad but nice quiet moment.

- The flashbacks of the majority of the Squad and how they fit in work well.

Cons:

- Enchantress felt like a generic villain.

- Some scenes in the trailer didn't end up in the movie. Hope to see them on the Blu-Ray.

- No Lex Luthor cameo. Oh well.

Overall, you shouldn't miss out on this one. Go see it. 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'll keep it simple. I'll start by saying, never forget that movie critics trashed Apocalypse Now when it came out. Is Suicide Squad as good as Apocalypse Now? Hell yeah it is! For me at least. This was the Apocalypse Now of superhero moviesI'll keep it simple. I'll start by saying, never forget that movie critics trashed Apocalypse Now when it came out. Is Suicide Squad as good as Apocalypse Now? Hell yeah it is! For me at least. This was the Apocalypse Now of superhero movies for me. There I said it. Hahahaha. This is the kind of filmmaking I like. I loved how it cuts away like Family Guy to show us the awesome exposition rather than just say it. Kept me on my toes. Everything with the Joker is perfect. But he is the conduit to get us to Harley Quinn. This is her movie, not his. When watching BvS I understood why some critics didn't like that movie. I didn't agree, but I understood. I have no idea what these critics who are trashing this movie are smoking. Or maybe it's what they're not smoking. Maybe they thought they were getting a Joker movie and they got a Suicide Squad movie. Will Smith and Margot Robbie owned this movie. It was so much fun to watch. I laughed, cheered, even got a little emotional at times with Harley and Mr. J's romance. There wasn't a character in this film I didn't like. Even Adam Beach and Scott Eastwood stood out. Kinnaman was a big surprise. I loved his relationship with Delevingne. Viola Davis was wicked good. Jay Hernandez took what could have been a throwaway character and gave him so much spirit. Jai Courtney and Karen Fukuhara played off each other wonderfully. Killer Croc has some of the best one liners. To sum it up, I just feel bad for anyone who doesn't enjoy this movie as much as I did. I'm glad this movie was exactly what I thought it was going to be. Fun, fun and more fun. I cannot wait to go watch this movie ten more times in the theater. It is simply epic. Best comic book movie of the year, just ahead of Deadpool. For me, up there with The Dark Knight and Burton's Batman. Do not understand at all why this movie got panned. I'm not expecting everyone to think it's the best film of the year. For me it is. I just can't quite comprehend people thinking this is worse than ID42, which according to RT, it is. C'est la vie. I feel like if Tarantino ever made a superhero movie, this is what it would look like. Expand

Will smith, marggot robbie were great in the parts they play. Even though they didn't make harley bonkers enough. Everyone else were fogettable and useless charcters. I thought entretchees was awesome and cara devigne was great in the part. Leto was terrible as the joker! Even if you forget about the ledger performace. Leto joker is still bad. With lines that arent funny and doing things that the joker would not do. Hes more of just a common criminal thats just a little sadistic. Overall the film is watchable and i thought it was going to be terrible with all the bad reviews but it wasn't. DC only problem is that they never had that great of charecters as marvel. So they really have to dig. Marvel always had the better comic books and charcters. Last thought....I've never seen a more beautiful woman than margot robbie and even though she is aulstralian she can nail a new york queens accent with no problem. Expand

Again, it's an inarguably imperfect film, but a film that's ultimately rendered watchable -- nay, lovable -- infectiously effective humor, enthralling action scenes, and a commendable emphasis on using dynamic characters to smooth out a fairly messy story.

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

The Amanda Waller role was horribly mis-castAfter being bored to death by the new Star Trek, I was pleasantly surprised by Suicide Squad. It's never boring, the characters are fun, and it had a little something for everyone. The flaws? The Amanda Waller role was horribly mis-cast with Viola Davis - either that, or she had horrible direction. The Waller role in the CW's "Arrow" was filled in SUCH better fashion by that actor, whoever she is. The biggest problem with this film is the "bad guys" - totally abstract and amorphous - nothing really to root against. And by making them those walking blobs, you never have any blood, and you preserve that PG 13 rating. Highly Wussy. All that being said, Smith and Robbie are fantastic, and they absolutely carry the film. Oh, and did I mention the fact that this movie is MUCH better than Captain America: Civil War from earlier in the year? that one also bored me to death with all the long, slow conversations. Suicide Squad has style, great music, and personality. Worth seeing, indeed. Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

I cannot wait to spend more time with these characters in a potential sequel or even other films where they might pop up in. The cameos are smoothly inserted, the world building isn’t forced and it features a mid-credit scene that I’ll say is one of the best a comic book film has featured to date. Even if you dislike the film, stay in your seat and wait for that as you won’t be disappointed. If you’re still on the fence, I really only have two words for you: Squad up. Expand

The only problem i had with the film is that how much screen time Joker got. He was 2nd top billed and was shown a lot in the trailers but yet he is only in the film for like 15 minutes! There were more Joker scenes but they were cut from the film. I hope we get to see the deleted Joker scenes.

Introduction to the characters I believe was successful because it made you want to see A LOT more especially Joker who definitely had a lot of scenes cut and I want David Ayer to release if there is one a full version of the movie on the DVD and in future release the full one in cinema' and that goes for any director of a DC film. At times I felt bits where rushed and a few bits unanswered. I do recommend people to watch it as it does have everything a comic book movie should have; action, comedy, intensity and you're desirous for more. Expand

The movie does a good part of humanizing the villain...particularly Harley Quinn and Joker have some very good scenes together. These two couple easier have their own movie together. I liked the prospective from the "bad guys" rather than the good guys for once. Enchantress and her brother also are very well done.

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

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

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

For what the movie was it was good. Just don't expect to get an emotional attachment to anyone not named Deadshot or Harley. I think this movie would have been great if we got a tad bit more backstory on everyone. Joker was great in his own way!

omg this movie is sooo underrated!!! I went to watch it with two friends of mine and all three of us enjoyed the movie enormously.
I don't understand why critics nowadays have to take movies apart like that and analyse every single shot and

I don't understand why critics nowadays have to take movies apart like that and analyse every single shot and word that is spoken... The most important part of a movie is that it draws the audience with it and makes you enjoy yourself isn't it?
And i don't know about you guys but i definitely enjoyed myself!

This movie is slightly better than batman vs superman. My main complaint is the joker wasn't in it enough. Mr. J probably only had 15 minutes of screen time and the movie is over 2 hours long.
