In the trailer they had a scene explaining the premise of the Suicide Squad was if their mission went for bust, the recruited members became the scapegoat, At no point did that stake materialize in this film.

Ike Barinholtz as the abusive guard is the best part of this movie.

The low point of this movie is when First Nation's actor Adam Beach (Slipknot) steps out of a car and decks a women. I think the intention was to make this character unlikable but FN men are stereotypically known to being abusive to women.… Expand

The ending suspends time a bit and so that maybe the only flaw in the storytelling which was a simple story...nothing that could confuse anyone. unless you want to read all the info on each character which some people with ADD may do. You got to be crazy not to enjoy Suicide Squad. If you are take your meds before watching. LOL. The critics are mad hatters man!… Expand

Its Scorpion King meets Batman and Robin with a lousy plot and storytelling. The movie was terrible. I had hoped the movie would be ok, but it was a huge disappointment. DC just keeps failing.

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

Despite the fact that the film is another bridge to the "Justice League", it is possible to watch without watching "Man of Steel" and "Batman V Superman: dawn of justice" or knowledge of comics. In the tape is as vulgar humor and ordinary. Most of the humor is built on the relationship between the characters and their statuses. Part of the heroes of bilateral (just kidding about the Enchantress), what you don't know which side prevails now. Personally, I say Captain boomerang like more than the original. Katana very few were significant, compared to other characters. El Diablo does not use certain abilities, which could play an important role. New the Joker even appears a little (about one-third of the film), but it will show itself more. Perhaps a scene after the credits hints at a solo Batman, but that's just my guess. The film has both humor and a typical style of DC Comics. It looks all natural, but if to compare with "Green Lantern" (2011) , so this is a masterpiece. Should go to fans, fans of fighters and humor. And there's the Bible, the [very bad word], uselock. Action there on top. Entertainment is clearly not necessary. In addition to the Boomerang, the film looks much better Amanda Waller: she's not fat **** like in the old series, but not a young special agent. It is a government puppet. Cold-blooded and sensible. Well, Deadshot is a typical will Smith, but this is clearly not a minus… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The third installment in the DCEU proved it's worth (For DC Fans), beating both its predecessors by miles. It's becoming a usual thing for me seeing Bad Reviews for DCEU movies, and i won't be surprised if the same scenario happens with the WW movie. I haven't believed the conspiracy theory that Disney pay critics to say bad stuff about WB movies but now the thought is bouncing in my head, anyway lets get on with the review.

Pro's

1.The acting in Suicide Squad was spot on, Will Smith was my highlight performance of the movie,perfect as Deadshot, managing to capture both aspects of the character, the hit-man and the Father. Margrot Robbie was just amazing as Harley Quinn, and i'm really excited about what DC will do with her if she gets a solo movie. Viola Davis as Amanda Waller just steals the show every time she is on screen.

2. The story was good, as it really made all members of the squad interact with each other in so many ways, relating both to their Criminal lives and their personal ones.

3. The Action sequences are very good, especially the ones having Deadshot in them.
Con's:

1.The movie was too predictable,when i enter a movie i wanna be curious about whats gonna happen later in the movie, but with Suicide Squad i really didn't find that, as the ending was very predictable.

2.Too little screen time for the Joker.I really find it annoying that they didn't give much screen time for the Joker, one of the reasons why i wanted to see this movie was because of the Joker, as i wanted to see if Jared Letos performance could top or equal that of Heath Ledger's performance, but i really couldn't as i wasn't shown enough of him to make my overall verdict about him.

3.Very Weak villain, as you saw in most of the trailers and the large media campaign WB gave to this movie, they focus very little about the villain. The final showdown between the Squad and the bad guy wasn't that interesting, as the villain was defeated very easily.

Overall Verdict: It's a good movie and is definitely worth your time, it is better by miles than Man of Steel and Batman V Superman. The movie could have had a better villain, more screen time for the joker, but all in all it is a good movie and i am certain most DC fans will like it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand the negative reviews. I found this movie to be great. The highlight is definitely the characters. Harley Quinn was funny, quirky, crazy, and even had a few emotional moments. She had a good backstory and development and that made you quickly fall in love with her character. Deadshot was another favorite, with a very fleshed out character arc and backstory, he was very easy to relate to and was able to flawlessly execute being complex and funny at once. El Diablo was very interesting, his powers were very impressive to see and his development/backstory definitely made him feel real and the audience could connect with him very easily. Killer Croc and Katana were a bit underdeveloped but nonetheless badass, they didn't get much screen time or speaking but were good additions to action scenes. Boomerang was somewhat comic relief, but it worked well for him and I found his character very likable and funny. And the Joker!! He didn't get a lot of screen time which actually disappointed me, but he was amazing. He wasn't Heath Ledger, so don't go into this movie expecting him to be that. He was a very different take on the Joker, I would say more like a gangster Jack Nicholson. But he stole every scene he was in and perfectly encapsulated a crazy crime lord, he was probably the most intimidating Joker we've seen thus far. And his relationship with Harley Quinn roped me in straight away, I just loved seeing them together. Viola Davis/Amanda Waller was fantastic, she shone in all her scenes. She was tough, smart, hard to read, strong, and intimating and she amazed me. Enchantress was a super cool villain, I loved her original costume but felt that the second costume looked a bit tacky. Her plan was simple and straightforward, which worked well. She doesn't hold a candle to the Joker or Lex Luthor or Bane or Zodd or any other iconic DC villain, but she is a solid character. She had a clear plan, albeit a fairly thin one. She is in the same category as villains such as Thanos, Yellowjacket, Ultron or Red Skull, as in she works for her movie and is entertaining to watch, but not the most developed or interesting stand alone character. I loved the feel of the movie, combining the grittiness of Batman with the fun of Deadpool, giving the exact tone a comic book movie should have. The music, colors, visuals, etc. all worked really well in this aspect. It had a great mixture of seriousness and playfulness and I think it was well balanced in this respect. I didn't notice any pacing or editing issues when I was watching it and I don't really think most casual moviegoers would either, but hardcore movie fans/critics may have a problem with this. Overall, a worthy additions to the DCEU, a very fun, gritty, exciting, hilarious and entertaining movie that I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.… Expand

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

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

I loved every second of him. I'm really mad about most of the Joker' scenes were cut (according to Jared Leto). But the movie as a whole wasn't so good. That was because of a predictible plot and a main villain that I personally thought was lame.

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

I also really don't care about the whole DC vs Marvel fight, I enjoy superheroes regardless of the company that produces them. Saying that, DC cannot seem to make a decent superhero film on the same level that Marvel is able to. These recent movies from DC really seem like disaster after disaster leading up to the ultimate disaster that will most probably be The Justice League.… Expand

I hate when the protagonist is revealed to be fraud only to be redeemed. I hate when from the beginning I know by what methods the antagonist will be defeated. And I hate when movies exposition is out of place not even trying. And I hate when I leave cinema and I cannot quote and vivaciously describe my favorite scenes. This move has not let me down on either of these points.

I liked most of the characters, not because they were likable per se, but because they were believable. Their main motivations were clear and their personalities more or less remained consistent, which is pleasantly refreshing. I will add here Joker, Jared Leto's Joker will not be remembered as best, but for me he will be the only Joker that I can imagine could exist, which made him extremely intimidating, I applaud that.

Effects overall are on the better side, little plagued by the style of man of steal, but that is up to individual tastes.

Grittiness - YES YES thousand times yes, finally a movie where the darkness is not represented by momentary weakness of main character. The movie was dark, surprisingly lot and while the grimness of situation was acknowledged, and just like sometimes in real life when kicked down one time too much, you just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. which brings me to

Humor - The humor of the movie comes from absurdity and contrast. Not from forced gags and jokes. This is my kind of humor, I enjoyed it tremendously.

This movie is not for everyone, It is like a AAA budgeted mix of styles somewhere between Pitch Black and Bad Santa with much better actors and plot.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After reading all the critical reviews of "Suicide Squad," I'd gone in expecting the movie to be horrible. What I got instead was a comic book brought to life. I enjoyed the pacing of the movie, I loved the characters, and Margot Robbie nailed the Harley Quinn role.

It would be utterly impossible to give every character equal screen time, but that's OK. While it is an ensemble cast, the film focuses on two or three characters. It's true that there are multiple members of the squad, but Deadshot, Harley and Diablo get the attention because they have the most to do with the third act.

Funny, action-packed and memorable, "Suicide Squad" was a damn good time. Anyone who expected a Christopher Nolan-esque dramafest from an action/comedy about a team of bad guys culled from a variety of comic books should maybe lighten up a little.… Expand

Amanda Waller and Harley Quinn were just a joy to watch, so was the interaction between the squad. This isn't a mind blowing universe building movie, but it did expand on the DCCU, and it did it well. I feel like this did a better job of showing/explaining tensions between the US government and meta humans better than BvS, and I can see this film tying into the future of DC heroes and their relationship with the various governments and people of the world nicely. But the editing was choppy, and although the soundtrack is great there were moments where the music fit the scene perfect, but really the flow of the film. I feel like a lot of this movie was cut, I didn't really notice that much while watching the film but it did hit me thinking back on it how obvious that was that there are pieces missing. The highs in this film are really high, some of the low moments felt off, but they didn't throw me off the high I was on. I have my odd complaints about various characters but nothing that stopped the show for me, mostly just I wanted to see certain things stick a little closer to the comics, but again nothing that stopped my enjoyment of the film. Both the plot and main villain are a very average comic book movie plot and villian, it's not too complicated or mind blowing but it's right for this genre and film. It's the kind of plot and villain you'd likely see in any of the Marvel films, standard comic book movie **** (which is why I can't wait for the solo Batman film, he's got all the good villians in his rouges gallery!). Amanda Wallers characterization was perfect for this universe, so was Harley, Deadshot, and yeah even this version of Joker is perfect for this universe. Though I do question Joker and Harleys relationship in this film, it's again, not a show stopper. I wanted to give this movie an eight or nine because it is such a fun film, and I loved finally seeing Harley on the big screen played by such a talented actress but the editing and missing pieces mean it's an seven for me. I still highly, highly recommend seeing it one of the only films I truly enjoyed seeing this year!… Expand

Suicide Squad,Fight Club, Godzilla, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Shining, and Psycho. Do these sound familiar? They are all movies that were hated by critics, but ended up as wonderful even beloved movies, all becoming cult classics. Suicide Squad, in my opinion will fall into this group in the future. It is among my favorite movies, the only real issue I have with the movie is the Joker. He is poorly done, a mix between Heath Ledger, and Jack Nicholson's Joker may sound good on paper but falls lackluster in actual appearances. Although his role in the film is good, the acting, looks, and portrayal of the character is all around poorly done. Also huge plus on diversity in the film , with the White, Asian, Black, Latino, Australian, Psychopathic, Clown, and Crocodile people even if they are portrayed in a poor light (criminals and serial killers).… Expand

I don't understand all the hate it is getting as it is a really good movie. I expect stupidity from critics as they don't act like a normal person but act superior. Critics also review based on biases such as being liberal or being against superhero films.
