Ugh, wasted potential. I guess the movie has its moments there and then, but overall remains a mediocrely crafted flick. Props to the people behind the makeup, costumes and hairstyling, though.

This is an underrated DC film. Margo Robbie as Harley Quinn is funny, Jared Leto as Joker was great, and this film had some nice action and humor. 7/10

I saw it with my dad day one it came out. As it's own thing, it is a decent movie and at times, it is even of above average quality. It's an okay movie with a serviceable story and well developed characters in Will Smith and the Suicide squad. I really enjoyed the dynamic between characters. I think DC fans were expecting something else out of this movie, and those expectations led them to conclude it is a "trash fire". But it really isn't as bad as many people say, and I think the general movie goer isn't going to find this movie boring. At the least, it is worth one watch to challenge your expectations, so If you feel like doing so about something people say is bad, but is... perfectly below average (a 6 as appose to a 2), I would say give this one a shot. As I said, it's not great, not amazing, but perfectly below average, certainly not a trash fire.… Expand

It's not a terrible movie, but it's not a great movie, either. There's a lot to like here, but like so many of the bad comic book movies, there's way too much going on. And when dumb stuff happens, you try not to think about it, just go with the flow.

And as is typical of DC movies of late, there's too much of a rushed plot. None of these characters yet exist in the DC movie universe, so there's no appreciation of them. But we get the typical DC rushed backstory. That's great if you're a fan of the comics and you're already invested in these characters; I suspect most viewers will not be.

It's hard not to make the Marvel/DC comparision. But DC isn't really learning why Marvel is making great movies. Marvel is building a universe. They are taking their time when they draw rich characters, and they don't bury them in character-heavy movies -- that is, until you've gotten to know each of them personally.

Back to this movie. Very first problem I had with it -- about 20 mins in, I'm asking myself, "Why are they building a bad guy team when there's no threat?" Building a dysfunctional superpower team seems like it should be a Hail Mary pass, and not the first string players.

I liked each of the villains (except Captain Boomerang, who's just ridiculous here). It would have been great if DC had taken their time, and done a Deadshot standalone movie first. Maybe a Harley Quinn/Joker movie (there were certainly enough flashback scenes that a basic story was coming through).

Again, decent popcorn flick if you love the genre. If you're tired of comic book movies, it's a skip.… Expand

On paper Suicide Squad seemed like it should have been DC's golden child.

It had a stellar cast that included Oscar winner Jarred Leto and rising star Margot Robbie, it was being helmed by director David Ayer who's written great villainous leads in the past such as Alonzo Harris in Training Day and the trailers made it look like we were going to get everything that we'd want from a Suicide Squad movie. But somewhere along the line all this potential got wasted and Suicide Squad has ended up being the biggest misfire from DC Entertainment since Green Lantern.

The Suicide Squad is based around a group of dangerous meta-humans put together by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and led by Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman). This team includes the most deadly shooter in the world Deadshot (Will Smith), the Jokers girlfriend Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), an Australian thief called Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), a fire conjurer called El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), a human reptile called Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and a woman with a sword capable of trapping the souls of its victims named Katana (Karen Kukuhara).

Unfortunately the film seems to glaze through all the character introductions as quickly as I've done in the last paragraph, with Viola Davis presenting each of the characters in the beginning as if she were reading off the background summaries from trading cards. Even Harley Quinn, who has one of the darkest and most interesting backstories of how she entered an abusive relationship with the Joker, has her history summed up in a very brief two minute flashback. Although she still gets more time to be introduced than most, with some characters just showing up out of nowhere to join the team without any explanation whatsoever.

In spite of the core concept of the suicide squad being that they're a task force of dangerous villains, the film makes every member of the squad seem like very noble characters. Whilst the film constantly reminds us that they're "the bad guys", there never seems to be much to differentiate the Suicide Squad from any other superhero team. At one point there's nothing stopping some members of the Squad from simply leaving, but they still stay for no other reason than to save the day. Their characterisation is similar to the crew from the Fast and Furious films. Sure they're criminals, but at the end of the day we're supposed to root for them since they're still going to do the right thing. They just complain more whilst they do it.

Though the films saving grace is that it does have some great performances. Will Smith brings back the charm and quick wit that made him a star in films like Independence Day and Men in Black. Margot Robbie gives Harley Quinn a great live action cinematic debut with an unpredictable, chaotic nature that feels partly like the Joker and partly like the wife from the Honeymooners.

Viola Davies brings a level of cold heartedness and brutality to Amanda Waller in a performance that is probably the most loyal to the comics of any character in the film. The film also boosts a charismatic and loud mouthed performance from Jai Courtney and a surprisingly heartfelt performance by Jay Harnandez, whose fire blasting antihero ends up getting the best story arc of the entire film.

These performances are so good that most of the films best moments are when the film has the characters personalities bounce off one another, like Captain Boomerang teasing other members or Deadshot annoying El Diablo to get him to burn out a room full of enemies. The best scene in the film ends up just being when the squad stops to get some drinks in the bar and just start talking to each other.

It's just a shame that Jared Leto, one of the films strongest cast members, doesn't even get an opportunity to interact with any members of the Suicide Squad other than Harley Quinn. In fact, in spite of Leto's prominent billing in marketing he hardly gets any screen time throughout the entire film. He was great in the short time he got, giving the Joker a young, brutal, mob boss style, so I'm looking forward to seeing him in future DC films. But his talents do not get the chance to shine here.

Supposedly there was a lot cut from the film, including a lot more of the Joker and several cool trailer moments that don't end up appearing in the final film. So just like Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition there is probably a better version of the Suicide Squad sitting on a cutting room floor somewhere. But unless that gets released I'd advise just checking out the animated movie Batman: Assault on Arkham. It's does far better justice to the Suicide Squad characters and is everything that this film should have been.… Expand

The acting is solid (The first time I've ever thought Jai Courtney was good!!!) and the sound track is pretty good to but narratively the whole thing plays out like a movie adaptation of a video game that doesn't exist.
The first half raised my expectations high featuring a cool recruiting montage with the exposition weaved in pretty smoothly but about half way through you start to notice some really choppy editing.
Like I say, the actors all do a good job but the characters motivations and morality all get really jumbled up and the relationship between the Suicide Squad members is kind of jarring. They barely even know each other and then about an hour into the film suddenly they become incredibly close out of no where, as if there was an important bonding scene for them that was cut out at the last minute and they didn't have time to smooth it over.
The villain is nothing special really. She has the same plan that several other comic book movie villains have had in the past few years, that being to use an army of disposable drones to take over the world with the help of a giant blue beam shooting into the sky (because we haven't seen enough of those.)
Jared Leto's Joker is cool but he's barely in it. After they've been hyping this character up for over a year I was expecting more than 7 or 8 minutes.
There's fun to be had with this film, it has good moments and it looks pretty but it's just kind of a mess. All the raw components are there to make a quality movie but it just feels really cobbled together.… Expand

Suicide Squad also faces many tone issues, seemingly having no clue how to take itself. On top of this, you can tell that there were many scenes that were cut from the film, leaving parts of it feeling quite choppy, and leaving the audience in a state of confusion. All of that being said, I still found myself enjoying the film quite a bit. The characters were all very likeable and were all very well portrayed, most notably Will Smith as Dead Shot, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, making it almost impossible to imagine anyone else filling their roles. On top of that, the movie was fun, and I never found myself bored or wanting to leave the theater - much unlike Batman v. Superman. I promise you, if you go into this movie hoping to have fun, and not looking for flaws, you will enjoy it.… Expand

The Deadshot and Flagg story arcs were a total unemotional snooze fest..... Deadshot wants to be a good father but is a hitman who dresses like a 70s pimp when not geared up and when he does get geared up, doesn't wear the mask 90% of the film because "Will Smith needs face time". Then you have Flagg who is played by Kinnaman, an actor who doesn't have the skillset to show off "emotional sadness" and confuses it with constipation... Was the Joker in this film? Oh yeah, talk about a waste of a character. Great work Leto, you turned the Joker into a 5ht grader wearing braces.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly mediocre. It's not nearly as bad as X-Men Origins, but it's not a good movie.
Corporate meddling and focus group marketing are evident. Too much time is spent in slow-motion popular-music sequences and there is too much focus on Deadshot and Harley Quinn to the detriment of the rest of the cast.
Also, for a "suicide" squad the death toll is surprisingly low.
It should have been a character-driven film, like a Tarantino movie, but the interactions between the Squad members and the dialogue were not particularly outstanding.
It manages to be entertaining at least, and the performances are quite good. No complaints on the look of the characters either.

All things considered, it could have been a great movie. If a sequel is ever filmed it hope they learn from this one.… Expand

It's nothing against DC, but overall I'm starting to think the todays cinema is getting crowded with the lots of superheroes. Just like any pollution or the over population on the earth's surface. It needs stability, but nobody cares about it other than money making agenda. I also think it's going to last for only a few more years, when this trend going to end like that happened in the 70s, 80s and the 90s. And the space travel era to begin which is already kick- started. So DC or Marvel and others, they should be careful, for far they could take their products.

Like the title say, it's not just about the film characters, the film itself a suicidal. I'm not saying the film was unnecessary, but the plot was dragged too much. There are too many pauses, or you can call time wasting moments. I could not take another blowing up city concept. And that swirling thing in the sky, I don't know how long they are going to use it in the superhero films. I did not like the supernatural concept which is supposed to be a pure science fiction action adventure. At least Thor was from another planet, more like he's an alien, but the witch in this film, ruined my appetite.

The actors were not bad and so the graphics, including the stunt sequences. The story was very familiar. It was more or less, same as the animated flick 'Monsters vs Aliens'. It can be watched for entertainment purpose, the majority won't say it's their favourite or one of the best of the year. But surely there are people who would love it. It was a massive box office hit and I don't see any hurdle for its sequel, but all I hope is it to get better in the follow-up. So finally, it's not a bad film or boring, but it just did not have the midas touch that all the superhero films had. That means a watchable film, only for once.

Poor script, cinematography, music, and direction makes Suicide Squad a dull time. I enjoyed David Ayer's "End of Watch" but "Fury" and now this minor catastrophe has me second-guessing him as a director. Margot Robbie makes a case for her Harley Quinn character to continue in some kind of sequel, I suppose. Jared Leto's Joker is pretty over-the-top and strangely harmless, more like the clown you hired for your son's birthday party showing up high at your front door.

The whole thing is wildly unbalanced. Army Chinook helicopters repeatedly falling out of the sky. Long scenes of exposition that leave you scratching your head in a WTF way. Too much Will Smith (he of the almost six billion dollar worldwide box office). DC Comics is starting to dig a substantial cinematic hole for themselves thanks to the bombastic direction and production tastes of a certain Zack Snyder. It all started with "Man of Steel", continued with this spring's underwhelming "Batman v. Superman", and now we have a straight-up contender for the 2016 Razzies top prize. At this point, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy almost seems like IT must have come from another planet.… Expand

I know the trailers made it look funny but these were all the funny moments. The action is terrible. We see the squad enter a city with crashed A10-Thunderbolt IIs and I have to wonder how awesome that must have been had we seen that movie instead. Actually, seeing serious military hardware littering a city like trash makes me wonder how the government expects a crazy woman with a baseball bat to make a difference. With the exception of a guy who can create fire, none of the squaddies do anything a trained soldier couldn't do. Even the fire guy could be replaced by a flame thrower. The enemies in this movie are made to be PG-13 friendly. They are all living statues that don't spew blood or show organs when the squaddies cut them half. This makes the fights incredibly boring. The final fight with the big boss is just silly. Somehow the boss is able to take out airplanes but can't hit a human when he or she ducks. The last fight with the true enemy looks like unfinished footage. Doesn't help that the setting looks like the ending of the original Ghostbusters. The worst of offense of this movie is giving the bad guys a heart. We have a team notoriously self centered criminals who easily turn on their partners and then expect them to bond and become good guys in two hours. The fun of having bad guys fight the good fight is that you can enjoy watching everything terrible happen to them because they kind of deserve it. It's like what Marv says in Sin City, "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad." For some dumb reason, Warner Bros. wants you to feel bad about what happens to the Suicide Squad.

One last note on the reviews. Critics hated this film and rightly so. Yet you see user scores above the 50% mark. This is a common occurrence of cognitive dissonance. Fans are excited about the film for over a year, they pay their good money to see on opening day, and then they give up 2.5 hours of their precious time to watch it. Rather than admit disappointment and feel bad, their brains concoct an alternate reality in which the movie is good. Critics don't have this problem because they see movies for free and they don't give a crap about DC's licensing efforts. If you really are a fan of these characters, you want a better movie for them.… Expand

Man, I don't think that I've been more pumped for a film since Star Wars Episode VII. Most of the marketing for Suicide Squad has been extremely good and has kept me pumped since 2015. Now the big question is, is it any good? Well, overallMan, I don't think that I've been more pumped for a film since Star Wars Episode VII. Most of the marketing for Suicide Squad has been extremely good and has kept me pumped since 2015. Now the big question is, is it any good? Well, overall it's enjoyable, but it does not exceed expectations in many ways. I really hoped that this film would make up for the disappointing and very flawed film Batman V Superman, and all though it is better than it, it didn't prove to me that the DCEU is trying it's absolute best. Now before I get into the negatives about the film, I'm going to talk about the pros about this film. First or all let me get this out of the way, Jared Leto as the Joker was absolutely great. I loved his performance he wasn't trying to copy Heath Ledger or Nicholson he was his own unique gangster, mob Joker that really caught my interest. Now this does lead me into one con that I will talk about towards the end of this review. Deadshot and Harley Quinn, my gosh were probably the best characters in the film. I loved seeing these two on screen they were portrayed perfectly especially Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Diablo, Captain Boomerang, and Rick Flag were also great characters. Killer Croc, Katana, and Slipknot were on and off characters to me, sometimes they had fine moments and sometimes they didn't. Amanda Waller I believe would've been a great character if she didn't make some certain choices in the film that honestly made no sense or were never explained. Now the action in the film was pretty fun for the most part. I liked the fighting I like the flashback character origin stories that all happen at the beginning of the film which are by far the most entertaining aspects of the film. I also liked how there was a lot of really funny humor in the film as well which was definitely a plus. The films first two acts are pretty entertaining for the most part I enjoyed them. Oh Yah, Batman killed it once again in the film like he did in BVS. Now that I've got most of the Pros out of the way it's time to get into the negatives of the film. This films editing honestly was pretty bad. I know the film had to do last minute film shootings and editing and I think that might have made the film take a turn for the worst. The film is pretty fast paced which may seem like a good thing, but it really wasn't cause the editing was so choppy that there was no breathing time for me to process what was happening on screen. The editing sometimes really confused and took me out of this film. Also, the soundtrack is a great soundtrack but most of the music interjected into the film was so loud and so out of place that it distracted me from many scenes, one in particular which I will not spoil which contains the Joker that really threw me off. Also another con is the main finale battle of the film was extremely terrible. It almost reminded me of the ending of the new Fantastic Four, it was obviously not as bad but it was extremely lazily made. Also there is so much scenes that felt like they were missing from the film that the plot became extremely confusing and stupid at times and almost made no sense at all which really told me that the people working on the plot of the film did a poor job. There's also some over- dubbing for the voices of the characters that you can tell were voice-overs which really took me out of the film one in particular with the Joker that almost made me laugh cause it was so badly dubbed. Also, no spoilers of course Enchantress and the villain of this film were done very poorly. Enchantress was a fine character at the beginning but slowly morphed into a cheesy character and the villain was so cliché and lame which really bugged me. Some of the line delivery in this film was sometimes extremely out of place and truly cringe- worthy even though the majority of the film does have decent dialogue. Its just that some of the poorly done dialogue probably had to due with the factor of the editing that made it seem poorly done. And a huge disappointing factor of the film is that the Joker is barely even in the film. He's literally interjected into 30 second mini scenes throughout the entire runtime of the film. My final flaw with this film is the emotional levels they try to present in this film. There is so many scenes in this movie that try to be emotional and try to touch your heart when really it just comes out as either confusing or extremely messy. I do enjoy how they tried to bring heart into this film, but some of it was done very strangely, and not in a positive way for sure. Overall though I think if you go into this film with an open mind knowing that this film is going to be an average fun blockbuster film you really will enjoy it. If you're going to go into it thinking its going to be the DC film that saves the DCEU and "Oh this is going to be a awesome film," you will most likely hate this film. To me this film is overall a disappointment but it is still a somewhat enjoyable. Suicide Squad is a film with an extreme amount of editing problems and flaws, but it has just enough action and likable characters that it can be enjoyed as an okay, summer blockbuster popcorn-flick. Overall Grade: C Metascore Score: 5.5/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a mess. Decent performances by Will Smith and Margot Robbie fight against this chopped up train wreck. In the end it is passable entertainment but it certainly isn’t what was meant by the filmmakers. Way too many characters almost all of which are criminally underdeveloped. The so called bad guys actually never do anything worse than say the Avengers would which takes away from the entire premise. The tone is all over the place. This was clearly a different movie originally before a panicked DC Universe chopped it up trying to make it more Guardians of the Galaxy. The Joker is half in and half out and Jared Leto becomes a decent scapegoat for what went wrong, but substituting him halfway through for a 90’s villain that looks like he came out of a Street Fighter film is not an improvement.

The movie suffers from both attention deficit disorder as being a showcase for the crimes against show don’t tell. The movie tells us Rick Flag is in love with June Moone / Enchantress a silly device much of the plot rests on and yet Cara Delevingne and Joel Kinnaman have zero chemistry in their scenes together. Harley Quinn and Batman have a more convincing relationship in this movie, Watchable in a turn your mind off kind of way. Just don’t think what could or even should have been.… Expand

Character development was average apart from Harley Quinn and Deadshot. The action was decent and character interaction was good, keeping the film afloat but parts of the dialogue felt either too cringey or out of place. There was not enough of our favourite Batman villain nor did he have too much impact. Cameos by the Bat himself and The Flash were welcome though. A few plot holes didn't help the story and I felt that certain scenes were either underdeveloped or too long and unnecessary. Suicide Squad holds its own as a superhero movie but just barely. It lacks the dramatic tension of Batman v Superman or the choreography of Man of Steel but is definitely enough to moderately entertain the audience. I feel that this is the first (and hopefully only) DCEU film to be sub-par. In terms of characters, it felt as if Batman's cameo had more emotion that certain members of the squad. When it came to the climax, it felt really oddly cut and the dialogue used was really out of place/ uneven. Although it lacks the epic scale of the other films, Suicide Squad is not without its charm. Margot Robbie and Will Smith do excellent performances and the way the react with other characters is greatly entertaining. Although much of the film feels uneven in a way, it still entertains.… Expand

DC universe in term of a bit lighter tone at the very beginning but the
entire film still leaves an impression of being darker compared to
other Marvels production, which is a bit let down from what it is
marketed. Trying to expand just like Guardians of the Galaxy, uneven
plot and character development are the main issues of Ayer's
screenplay. The movie sets up after the death of Superman and rushes
towards the event hosted by the main antagonist, affecting the overall
fluidity of the story. Assuming that audiences are already familiar
with the comics, all the characters are briefly introduced and it works
less effectively especially when the Squad itself is not well known
like Batman or Superman. Will Smith and Margot Robbie perform decently
as Deadshot and Quinn, emotional engagement does exist among all but
lack in depth for featuring too many characters at one shot especially
Joker. Despite these main problems, action sequences are packed enough
and fun to follow while the visual effects are more colorful compared
to the other DC films; Retaining the rhythm of Zimmer's BvS theme,
Steven Price has composed the scores in a different tunes, combining
some rock musics that suit well the film and a sense of DC universe's
continuity. While it misfires at plot and those super villains are not
shown to be doing anything too evil, it does not aim to be like other
superheroes films, it is still amusing and it gives a new life to DC's
big-screen universe.… Expand

But that scene when Harley jumps into a can of acid and Joker jumps to her (I know its metaphorical scene it didn't really happen but still that was lame IMO) . Joker doesn't show up too much in the movie I don't know if that was intended but I felt disappointed with that.Killer Croc mask LOOKS TERRIBLE ,I mean his head looks enormous compared to his body (he should have been more bulked up).The humor is really good in this movie I liked it very much.Overall I would rate this movie 6/10.But beware that REAL PROBLEM of this movie and not only this movie but future movies is WARNER BROTHERS. They should stop interfering with DC Entertainment and let them do their job.They are rushing this too quickly and it doesn't surprise me if the movie gets bashed on (although I really didn't understand THIS BIG bashing).

The less than subtle approach of America to say "Hey, we can use terrorists to defend our country" whilst America is funding Saudi war on Yemen, funding terrorists they were fighting against in Afghanastan, and funding ISIS in Syria vs Assad.

This movie should have been the one that saved DC and getHey DC, are you trying to f**k this up on purpose? Seriously! What the hell is going on over there. "Suicide Squad" was your chance to redeem yourself from the last critical failures. This movie should have been the one that saved DC and get it back on it's feet, but I guess not. I wanted this to be good or at least surprise me. There are some pros and plenty of cons in this. So lets kick it off.

Will Smith and Viola Davis are easily the best parts of this movie. Smith brings the humility to his character and Davis brings the fear. Will Smith is the only character in this group that has any characterization as we get to know more about his past. Will Smith is basically playing Will Smith, but he was still good as the character. To be honest, I thought Voila Davis was more of a real threat then the actual threat itself.

Margot Robbie was pretty good as Harley Quinn, but wasn't the show stealer as I thought she would be. She did a great job capturing the character and there was little peaks of humility as well. Her accent dose keep changing in a few scenes, but I can easily look pass that.

I was one of those people who was against Jared Leto new look as the Joker. I know he's trying a different take on the character, but with all the stupid tattoo's all over him with the word 'damaged' on his forehead and the gangster grill teeth just wasn't the Joker. But I give Leto this, it's a bold move to take on the character after Ledger's unforgettable performance. I was being a bit too harsh at the time and Leto is a very method actor, so what's there's nothing to complain with the casting (besides the new look). After seeing the movie, Leto doesn't do a bad job as the Joker. He doesn't have that much screen time and every time he's on it screen, he kinda chews up the scenery. He was enjoyable to watch and I will make a full judgment when we have a movie where he has more screen time. Coming to think of it, The Joker should have been the main villain of the movie and not Enchantress (I'll get to her in a minute). Oh and I can't be the only one who thinks he looks like some manic you'll see in a Purge movie.

Cara Delevingne not only gives the worst performance in the movie, but also the most laughable one as well. I mean, what is up with that hip moves and twirling her arms around? It's like the director gave up. Enchantress is right up there with Dr. Doom from "Fant4stic" as the worst villain in comic book movie. Enchantress is the basic villain who wants to shoot a giant blue lazier in the sky to destroy the world. Oh and please stop it with the blue lazier thing, it's in every comic book movie now and it's so stupid.

Here's my question: Why would you sent these crazy and dangerous people on a mission to stop Enchantress. Yeah I really hope that doesn't back fire at all. I mean sure, send a guy who calls himself Captain Boomerang who's an insane person that throws boomerangs that never comes back to him to save us from giant portals from other worlds. Is it because they are expendable? It would have made a lot more sense if Wonder Women or The Flash or just anyone with god like powers to go on this mission. This really is a suicide mission.

The rest of the Squad members were pretty forgettable and just didn't do anything. Katana was just kinda there. Slipknot is in it for a few minutes. Killer Croc just stands around going "mmmm" or "yeah", they didn't do anything with that character.

The third act was this gigantic action scene that takes place in the city and the scene itself was just a mess. It was so muddled together and the editing was so poor that it sadly did remind me of "Fant4stic" climax.

Some of the music choices didn't really fit well during a couple of scenes. It felt out of place and was only thrown at the last minute to make it a little light at heart. This is because of the heavy criticism for "Batman V Superman" for being too dark.

I think DC biggest problem is that they are literally rushing the movies out just to catch up with Marvel. Take your time DC. But of course, many will be angry that I said that and will go to terrifying lengths to defend it. Fan boys seem to choose to deny any flaws from these movies and praise it for it's non-existing efforts. I'm not a DC hater. I'm not a Marvel fan boy. I only want a freaking good movie, is that hard to ask for. Just because it tried something new doesn't always mean it will bring great results. Everyone has an opinion, that's a no-brainier. Agree or disagree, just please don't act like a cry baby when some has a different opinion to you.

Overall rating: "Suicide Squad" was a huge disappointment in a lackluster year for summer movies. The more I think about this, the more I hate it.… Expand

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

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

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

This movie is definitely not a bad one, it has some strong points like the performances of the actors, the great chemistry between them, the character development and some great action sequences. But it has also many bad points like the all over the place plot, some terrible CGI, a very bad villain and false marketing about how important the Joker actually was and the role he played. Overall, it is enjoyable, it is fun to see these beloved characters on the big screen and shoot up some sh-t, but as BvS it kinda feels like a disappointment because it had so much potential and it was not nearly exploited enough.… Expand

All in this **** mess of a movie (the junkyard, razzie-worthy editing and storytelling) makes it feel just wrong. The colorfoul palette and performances make it watchable, though.

Their introduction was fine, but throughout the rest of the movie you could tell that they weren't exactly sure which role these characters and their romance is going to have. You don't actually get a gripe of who the new Joker really is. And even though they're a love couple, Harley is partly shown unlikely indifferent to him just to fulfill the purpose of the plot.

Although they put a lot of focus onto them in their marketing campaign, it feels more like fan service in the end and leaves you dissatisfied with their actual integration into this movie.… Expand

This was very similar to yet only slightly better than Batman and Robin. Neon lights, one liners, unnecessary slow motions scenes. Though not the best Joker ever, Leto's portrayal was the best thing about this movie.

But the action and the performances make up for some of it. Especially Margot Robbie who perfectly captures Harley Quinn and Will Smith who steal the show. And of course the always brilliant Jared Leto. I personally loved Jared's performance but there was so little of him and it pains me because they really missed out here with him.

The action sequences were nicely choreographed, the cinematography was solid (and a lesson in 'the male gaze'), and the pacing is steady and fast enough to hold the tension.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted this movie to be good. I wanted DC to shut my mouth like Ben Afleck did with me with his acting as Batman. But it didn't happened.
The movie was disappointing, I think many agree with that, but it also has many cringing moments (spoilers ahead):
- The use of Rock-Pop super hits very randomly and one after another trying to be epic. It looked like a YouTube amateur video of "BEST MOMENTS" with user's favorite bands as background music.
- The videoclip scene at the chemical plant (this scene made me really angry, it's useless, stupid, pointless, all mixed with ugly music...)
- The plan to kill/beat Enchantress. The "bomb-under-big-guy's-feet-plan" is so lame. I'm really sorry some SEALS had to die because of this terrible idea.
- Killer Croc. Seriously, he looks terrible. He doesn't look big at all because of his massive head. He doesn't look bad with the hoodie, but shirtless is a complete failure. It feels like they wanted to spend money only in the head make up and run out of funds when they had to sculpt some shoulders or whatever to make him look actually big. They ruined the first appearance of a great character with his pointless lines and crappy looks, congrats.
- The "Gangsta" Joker. Terrible, not because of Jared Leto, even though I'm not even close to be a fan of him at all. But this depiction of the character... won't work well with Affleck's Batman. And that makes me really sad because that means Warner/DC screwed another character only to make this movie more appealing.
- Chemistry between any other character but Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Even the "you're now my family" Diablo final scene feels really fake. You've been ignoring everyone in the team for more than an hour, dude.
- Battles. Really uninspired, Margot Robbie had some battle scenes I really liked, specially when she's in the elevator.

Enough rant.
Warner/DC: You need to be really careful with EVERY SINGLE MOVIE you release if you want your cinematic universe to work properly. Batman V Superman is not perfect but it still works somehow. Suicide Squad is unbearable and I hope you reset most of the background story and characters you presented in it.

WHAT I LIKED:
- Batman. I really love this Batman, suit, attitude... Even as Bruce Wayne.
- Enchantress make-up, looking. Really cool, even though the performance wasn't flawless.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was not horrible, but no masterpiece. Few moments in the movie really hooked me in. The parts that did hook me in did a good job. I thought act 1 was good. I liked the idea of learning the back stories to some of the major characters. Then from act 1 to the bar scene I found to be boring. The wandering through the city, and going against minions that stood no chance and were easily taken down . I liked the bar scene because of El Diablo's back story. The whole killing of his family made the scene more emotional. The final battle was OK. Wasn't too amazing, wasn't too bad.

I found this movie to be very predictable. Some examples were Amanda Waller not dying, Harley not being shot by Deadshot, the joker to be still alive, enchantress to be the villain, and the squad to win. These are just some examples.

Some pros to the movie were Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Deadshot by Will Smith, the Joker by Jared Leto (many will disagree) and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. The movie looked nice.

Some more cons are unneeded characters (slipknot), scenes that had no real explaining on why they are happening, and the lack of other squad members.

This movie is a hit or miss. Not the best work by DC… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, a decent movie with a few poor choices but awesome characters.

The plot was a mess, and even though the trailers made Harley Quinn out to be the main character, the movie seemed to revolve around Deadshot more, despite all of the Joker sections. I'm totally down for that, since I personally hate kooky characters who are kooky for no other reason than being kooky (my least favourite character in the new Ghostbusters was Kate McKinnon's character), but I can't hate Harley Quinn for that, because that's kind of her shtick.

However, the best part of it was not Harley Quinn, or Deadshot, or even The Joker, but Diablo.

He's a character that no one going into the theatre gave two **** about. Even my friends made a bet as to who'd die in it, and one of them betting on him, just based on his lack of comic book cred (Mind you, the other actually read the Suicide Squad comic and bet on Slipknot, so none of them lost or gained money).

But then, when it came to his backstory, you're given a character who hates himself and his powers, despite being the most physically powerful of the whole squad. You later realize why he is trying to repent for his sins, so when he . And when you get to the finale, he turns into a **** 8' foot tall flaming Tiki skeleton demon who nearly destroys a thousand-year old being.

Additionally, Captain Boomerang was everything I could ever ask for and more.

He started off as the weakest member of the team, seen as a pitiful bank robber who has no respect and has probably the stupidest weapon. He had a Unicorn fetish. Even though he had two lines, Slipknot seemed like a more legit member than he was.

But then, every time Capt. did something, he was just as useless as you thought he'd be. He loved Guiness beer; when the battle was done, he made sure he had his unicorn plushie with him; when Deadshot gave up and went to the bar, he didn't look defeated, but relieved that he could have a drink (finally); when he actually did something, his boomerang got destroyed and you could see the emotions going through his head **** I'm going to need to buy/make ANOTHER one of those! You know how hard they're to come around?!").

I kind of wish Killer Croc and Katana had more to contribute. They were kind of just there and played no real role, other than just being there.

When leaving the theatre, none of us were talking about Harley Quinn or Deadshot, but about whether Diablo's actually dead or not. We were talking about how awesomely worthless Captain Boomerang was.

The movie does feel like a rip-off of Guardians of the Galaxy, considering the upbeat take on generally villainous people, the 80s soundtrack, and the fact that it's a movie mostly about second-rate characters (even though Harley Quinn's relatively famous, she's still second to the Joker). Even Killer Croc felt like a copy of Groot, considering his lack of lines and 'not-being-a-human'-ness. However, I'm always down to re-watch GotG, and if this is just more of it, then bring it on!… Expand

And the potentialAfter watching the movie in the cinema, I was a little disappointed, I expected more. But after reviewing it at home, I came to the conclusion that the film was still a success, despite the incompletely revealed potential. And the potential of the project was huge. It was not possible to reach the declared highest bar, but even so, the film is good enough.

Regarding the Joker, Heath Ledger's level was not achieved, but this is not Jared Leto's fault. Here, the Joker does not have a key role, as in The Dark Knight, and enough screen time. There he acted as a very cunning madman, but here he turned out to be just a madman. And in this role, Jared played perfectly.

Special effects, camera work and other components are at a traditionally high level for this kind of films. As a result, despite the fact that the masterpiece did not work out, we have before us a funny, entertaining, sometimes even touching blockbuster that is worth watching.… Expand

Pero lamentablemente terminóCon las expectativas altas de que “Suicide Squad” irrumpía en el género de super héroes con la novedad “villanos protagonistas”, presentando una selección de personajes que permitía una mayor libertad creativa. Pero lamentablemente terminó siendo una película genérica de acción más.
Su mayor problema es la inconsistencia, por momentos el guión es muy bueno y por otros es realmente estúpido. Por un personaje bien logrados como Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) hay una acartonada Enchantress (Cara Delevingne); por una escena donde los personajes se complementan y funcionan juntos en pantalla hay momentos en que el elenco es tan extenso que algunos se vuelven extras; por cada efecto especial bien logrado como la transformación de la Enchantress, luego crean algo cutre, como los hombres baba con ojos.
De éste lío lo más trágico es la historia. La introducción estuvo bien pero tiene una trama que desaprovecha las oportunidades de tener un grupo de villanos. Sin códigos morales para liquidar a un objetivo o infiltrarse a un espacio restringido se decide que el mejor uso del grupo es ponerlo en un escenario para héroes.
“Suicide Squad” tampoco puede lograr lo que “Man Of Steel” o “Batman v Superman” no pudieron, darle a DC un aprobado, sí introducen un par de personajes interesantes pero como unitario es una regular película de acción con muchos agujeros argumentales..

Viola Davis was great as Amanda Waller.

Margot Robbie is great as Harley Quinn. Jared Leto was good as the Joker, though he never really gets a chance to shine. The rest of the cast? Who cares. But the one thing the film gets absolutely right is Harley & Joker's relationship. The bad side of this is that the film-makers somehow knew they got this part right, and emphasize Harley's story to the detriment of everything else. Which maybe isn't a bad thing after all, since "everything else" is sub-par. Weak story, poor build-up (an ensemble movie that has to also establish its characters), ordinary stakes (save the world), ordinary villain, confusing direction with an over-reliance on flash-backs, some odd choices for costume design... An average film at best, with some memorable scenes. Harley and Joker need their own film, because they're too big for this one. 5/10… Expand

I figured an appropriate celebration of my complete and utter apathy for anything with "superhero" in the description, culminating in an outright boycott of any future films, would be to look at the example to "rule them all." -- Suicide Squad.

First of all, I read books and not comics, so yes, I'm one of them. I hold no real nostalgia or interest in lycra-clad adults with "powers", alternate timelines, or comic lore as described by those who invest waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too much in defending the culture with deaf ears. I have seen the majority of what has released so far, including the best example of adaptation for us non-comicoes, piloted by Christopher Nolan. Since then, I have glossed over the various iterations from popular PG to unknown R, taking away nothing from the menagerie, except how many smaller budgeted films could have succeeded or failed in place of them. No money was spent.

Suicide Squad is a mess--an uninteresting, unfunny, unfocused mess. The stench of studio interference hangs heavy here, potentially supported by late game re-shoots (not uncommon) and varying articles after the fact. Who cares--as the consumer of your entertainment, I am more interested in the finished product than the behind the scenes drama that signals another Hindenburg. When interest in the drama offscreen supersedes onscreen, then you've lost.

We've all lost, in fact: money, time and interest. None of this will affect box office as nostalgia, curiosity, and fresh-faced comic fans with underdeveloped film skills are in near constant supply. Opening weekends will continue to mis-align with critical reception--the world keeps on turning.

I could go into detail on this film but, really, why? There isn't any.

If your a comic book fan then you're already shaking your head and formulating an apologists view (couldn't care less about Marvel vs DC), and if your not, then you likely don't care whether it's good or not #margotrobbiehungrybum. Either way, it's just another portal opening, world ending, good vs evil in spandex tale, liberally smeared in cgi. No thanks, not any more.

Another portal opening, world ending, fan servicing, superhero film, forced into the same mold as the others.… Expand

The Good:

- Jay Hernandez's portrayal of El Diablo (really good performance) - Basically all the flashbacks. For every flashback, I wish I was watching that instead of this movie. The Okey-ish - Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn - WillThe Good:

- Jay Hernandez's portrayal of El Diablo (really good performance)
- Basically all the flashbacks. For every flashback, I wish I was watching that instead of this movie.

The Okey-ish
- Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn
- Will Smith as himself
- Jai as Captain Boomerang
- the final battle
- 2-3 jokes
- Chemistry between characters

The Bad
- Whole movie is basically one long action sequence in the same environment.
- Villains only feel and act like villains in the beginning.
- Characters motives for doing "the good thing"
- Other superheroes whereabouts is not explained
- Jared Leto's Joker feels like two guys. Sometimes he is Joker, sometimes he is a thug.
- Villains plot is a pretty generic evil plot.
- Instead of flashing out different abilities of the squad members like in Avengers, they are basically just punching/shooting generic bad guys… Expand

I don't understand why these critics are bashing this film, its absolutely absurd. This movie is enjoyable from beginning to end. Comedy is brilliant , action is decent. The squad has an amazing chemistry. Characters are very entertaining toI don't understand why these critics are bashing this film, its absolutely absurd.

The first half felt more like a giant trailer / compilation for other films that we're not actually watching. Very bizarre. The second half was confusing as to what the villains plan was. Maybe there's a good movie in there somewhere, butThe first half felt more like a giant trailer / compilation for other films that we're not actually watching. Very bizarre. The second half was confusing as to what the villains plan was. Maybe there's a good movie in there somewhere, but this isn't that version. Plus, the Joker was both underused and also a horrible performance, which may have prompted it being mostly cut out.… Expand
