This movie is painful to sit through I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. The action is terrible, the comedy is awkward, If you want a good superhero comedy watch Deadpool. This movie is also adult and not appropriate for children.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a well-made movie and way better than the first suicide squad. The plot was well done, and interesting the part at the end of the US involvement in the project and leading to casualty and peacemaker fight was really well made. James Gunn wrote a great story. THe performance too was amazing. Margot Robbie killed it as HQ and the other characters acting too was great. The casting was spot on. The reworked characters like Rick Flag and others had a good arc than the first one. It was also good to see the movie being cruel and R-rated rather than DC trying to make it Pg-13 allowing the characters to be truly themselves. The last 1-hour fight too was well made. A great movie well done.… Expand

Surprisingly I did not expect much from Ratcatcher 2 but i found her character really well done. For me the star of the movie was obviously Bloodsport and Peacemaker but the way Idris fit in so well between action and comedy showed how good of an actor he is especially with the scene involving him and Viola Davis.

Not too sure how some people are complaining about it not having a plot when their mission was explained maybe 3 or 4 times throughout the movie with chapter titles.

Id give this movie a 7.5 had some solid action some fun jokes may not work for everybody but it definitely did for me.… Expand

The movie is darkly humorous, but still serious enough for you to care about the plot and the characters. Even villains unknown to those that might not be familiar who don't read comics, such as myself, were brought alive in an interesting way. Especially Polka Dot Man and Ratcatcher 2 stood out, but all the characters and actors did a great job.

Would definitely like another Suicide Squad movie in this vein if James Gunn is behind it, doesn't even have to be this squad. Can just be another squad of anti-heroes and villain protagonist as long as it's half this interesting.… Expand

The 2nd Suicide Squad film really should have been the first, as it perfectly merges humour and action. Although there are far too many ideas, it mostly works as the team does its best to shoot its way out of every scenario.

In the end and after reflecting on it I’d say it does all come together, but I can imagine some viewers feeling like they were put through the paces as even I’m not sure what this movie wanted to be. With it’s very large and excellent cast it felt mostly hindered in the small interactions as there’s something about a James Gunn movie that makes the dialogue feel like dialogue and not coming off as genuine. That’s not always bad with a movie that’s pulled from the pages of a comic and it doesn’t really impede the narrative. You just feel that with the numerous characters so many are under utilized and only on screen as an unnecessary device. That may be because there are so many twists to keep the audience guessing and unaware as to where the story is going, but not everything felt fleshed out. There’s a reoccurring sight gag for a character who describes themself as having mental illness that I just didn’t find funny in the end and I’m still not sure if I’m supposed to. All in all if you have HBO Max and want a dark DC comic movie for a night in, this is pretty good. Just don’t bring the kids. It earned the R rating with constant and gory kills.… Expand

The Suicide Squad was able to win me over as the best DCEU movie in the first 10 minutes of its run time. The Suicide Squad is unique, not feeling like most superhero flicks before it. Warner Brothers is no longer trying to copy the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it’s working out really well. The film was able to manage being really dark, without falling into the same traps that the Snyderverse set for itself. The Snyderverse sometimes tries to be extra gritty in an attempt to stand out, but it can sometimes lead to really boring scenes. That’s a comment I make as a Snyderverse fan. Some other things I liked about the movie were the editing, the cast, and the special effects. I went into the movie without doubts about the quality of the acting and special effects, but I did doubt the editing would be anything to write home about. Thankfully, the movie exceeded all of my expectations in those areas. I also think that this movie works as a great James Gunn movie. The soundtrack really works well, something you can always look forward to in a Gunn flick. I was worried about the movie possibly using all its jokes in the trailer, but I was dead wrong. The movie is hilarious. If I had to recommend the movie to anyone, I’d recommend it to comic book fans, people who aren’t turned off by gore, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.… Expand

In the first few minutes, we're introduced to the characters. They are, in my opinion, better and much more memorable. The best for me is still Harley Quinn, who could not be played by anyone other than the wonderful Margot Robbie. As for the new characters, I quite liked King Shark there. Next up are some excellent action scenes, which are unusually frequent for DC. Aside from being frequent, they are really good and Gunn's hand has made his mark on the CGI here, as Weasel like this reminded me slightly of Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy. Where else the change in the director's chair was felt is without a doubt the music, which was really great and I devoured some scenes because they were epic, although I would add that there's not much play on any epicness here. In fact, the film throws in one joke after another. If you found 2016's Suicide Squad too "serious", then I have good news for you because the darker atmosphere has been replaced with a funnier one. To sum it all up. For me, a good film that has rectified the reputation of Suicide Squad and I wouldn't complain at all if there was a sequel that built on this 2021 Suicide Squad and forgot about the 2016 one. I'm not a hater of the older one. In my opinion, it had a darker atmosphere and smaller doses of jokes that I liked about it. But otherwise, the new Suicide Squad offered us much more and I can recommend it.… Expand

There's a lot of creativity, indeed, and some characters and their actors are wonderful – especially John Cena, who holds probably holds the movie on his own shoulders – but the plot is weak as well as the bond that we manage to create with such characters.

For me at least the humour landed, the action was mostly good with one scene being the exception and the archs and character development for Polkadot Man, Bloodsport and rat catcher 2 all being satisfying and Silvester Stallones King Shark served as a comedic relief that never felt out of place and the dynamic between characters was particularly good.

The film has far more stakes then most movies in the genre with characters dying left and right which makes it all the more enjoyable. It's a good film all around as long as you're okay with a film being a little quirky and crazy.… Expand

Well everyone the Suicide Squad are back for more suicidal missions and if you thought the first one was mental you ain’t seen nothing yet. Alright, don’t shoot me but I hated The Suicide Squad, it’s bad, very bad, and not even Margot RobbieWell everyone the Suicide Squad are back for more suicidal missions and if you thought the first one was mental you ain’t seen nothing yet. Alright, don’t shoot me but I hated The Suicide Squad, it’s bad, very bad, and not even Margot Robbie is enough to save this mess. Supervillains Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Peacemaker (John Cena) etc. are led by Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) to take on a top secret mission on the remote island of Corto Maltese. There’s a whole bunch of new characters whose names you probably shouldn’t try to remember because you just know a lot of them are going to die in some horribly gruesome death, so no spoilers but don’t get attached to anyone.

This is not a sequel but it’s not quite a remake either, there was no way to continue on from the first Suicide Squad so they’ve essentially started again. One of the main issues I had with Suicide Squad was the unnecessary supernatural elements that I couldn’t buy into, witches, Killer Croc etc. I felt this kind of movie would have been better more grounded in reality and I hoped The Suicide Squad would rectify that. Well after the trailer it was obvious that wasn’t happening and they’ve gone even more in the ludicrous direction. I can buy into it for Guardians of the Galaxy but this…seeing King Shark (Sylvester Stallone) chomping his way through this movie like he got lost and wandered off the set of Aquaman just feels so wrong. Sure the CGI and the effects are impressive to look at but that’s not enough. The plot is absolutely bonkers and I don’t mean that as a compliment. Sorry guys, I did not enjoy this. Every single scene is so jam packed with failed jokes it’s tiresome. I’ve never seen a movie try so hard to be funny, almost every line is trying to make you laugh and so many of the jokes just fell flat. It can’t just be me, the cinema I was in wasn’t laughing either. Aside from a few **** it was generally quiet. I can tell you sitting there for 2 hours with so many jokes being thrown at you in a desperate attempt to cause the cinema to erupt into fits of laughter was embarrassing. Yet in an unexpected turn of events the last 10 minutes of The Suicide Squad was the most watchable thing about it. But still, that’s 2 hours you gotta get through first and no matter what I ain’t getting those 2 hours back.

I went to see the first Suicide Squad mainly because of Harley Quinn, and I went to see this for the same reason and you know what Margot fans, you’re better off with Birds of Prey and skip The Suicide Squad. If there’s one positive I can pull from the wreck of this utter mess is that director James Gunn set out to make a movie and the finished product is the movie he wanted, creatively he got what he wanted to make and just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean others won’t. In fact there is a substantial fanbase already and a slightly suspicious amount of positive critic reviews. But whatever, it is what it is. David Ayer however did not get the same courtesy. Studio interference practically butchered the movie he set out to make and we got an absolute disaster and I don’t believe anyone was actually happy with the first Suicide Squad. I really hope we’ve now gotten to a point where if a film studio hires a specific director for a movie they’ll trust their vision, let them get on with the damn movie and stop interfering. Gunn made the movie he wanted and there’s a lot of fans who enjoyed the hell out of it, I’m not one of them but that’s ok. I’ll get over it. I won’t hold this against James Gunn, despite this experience I’m looking forward to the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie but one thing’s for sure, I never want to see another Suicide Squad movie again, they can make as many as they like but I’m done. Not recommended.… Expand

I highly enjoyed the movie, I do not think one point dragged on for too long, or was too short. The movie was paced perfectly while blending together some great action scenes. There was more humor than normal for a DC movie and it was a welcomed addition. The characters were all likeable. I mean I really can't think of anything I hated or wasn't blown away about.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well....this movie was insane, I mean really insane, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. This is more of a comparison than a review, but I will kinda of review it. I'm gonna start with what I think this film did better than David Ayer's Suicide Squad and then say what I think David Ayer's Suicide Squad did better than James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.

What I think it did better than David Ayer's film:
The Cinematography and the action sequences: By the looks of it the action sequences were done more practically than in Ayer's version, takes were longer and more of the action was visible than Ayer's. The action sequences were beautifully shot, the camera was always following the action so you wouldn't miss much.
The Visual Effects & Costume Design: Surprisingly the visual effects in this film was phenomenal, I wasn't expecting it to look as good as it did, especially the CGI character of King Shark, the detail on his skin was mind-blowingly good, he really look real, yes I know he really isn't a regular shark given that he's walking around like a human but that's how good it was to me, plus the big baddie at the end Starro, once you were able to see what it looked like I was stunned at how well it blended in the live action elements, like King Shark the detail on Starro was insanely good. Now the costumes are exactly as I was expecting, when you have characters like Polka Dot Man, TDK, Javelin, and Peacemaker who are some the lesser known DC villain's who you consider C, D, or even lower grade villains of course their costumes are going to be absolutely ridiculous, and they totally are, but they looked amazing, some of them were vibrant with color as given so much detail that they looked awesome. Bloodsport and Harley Quinn's costumes were the standouts for me, I thought Bloodsports mask was freaking awesome, I got a Xenomorph vibe from it which was cool as hell, and Harley's costume felt like it was ripped from the comic pages itself, especially the two tone color scheme.
Some of the Lead and "Some of the" Supporting Cast: Idris Elba's Bloodsport and John Cena's Peacemaker were real standout among this ridiculously massive and star packed cast, especially how funny the two of them were especially when the two were trying to kill people in a more creative way as a way to prove who's better at killing. Daniela Melchior and David Dastmalchian as Ratcatcher 2 and Polka Dot Man were the emotional core of the film, Gunn really did a great job getting you to really feel for these characters and their backstories. Viola Davis as expected did a fantastic job as Amanda Waller, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag made a HUGE improvement from the previous film, he wasn't as wooden as he was before.
Gunn's Signature Style: This film is very reminiscent of Gunn's Style of film from before he did Guardians of the Galaxy, they were screwed up and gory as hell, the fact that Warner Bros let him use that for a comic book movie is actually refreshing in the massive market of comic movies and shows, every now and then you have to change things up to keep it interesting and I'm happy he could let loose with this movie.

Now I really didn't like David Ayer's Suicide Squad but I'll admit there are some things I think it did a little better:
The Soundtrack: I know it's weird to start this off with that, but to be honest the music in Ayer's version is superior by quite a margin, I listen to a lot it's music still 5 years later, I mean come on, Skrillex, Lil Wayne, Twenty One Pilots, War, CCR, Rolling Stones, Wiz Khalifa, Imagine Dragons, Queen, Eminem! So many artists, it was a little disappointing but I'll admit that a good chunk of the budget for Gunn's version went to that ridiculously massive cast, so this a bit of nit pick.
Pacing, The off-putting Animal Cruelty, and Unnecessary Character Deaths: Ok, before I start, the whole Animal Cruelty thing, it's a nitpick also, i just didn't really understand why it needed to in the film, but this is coming from James Gunn's twisted mind, so I guess i should've expected it, but it just a tad too much. Now the pacing was a little slow when it came to the 2nd act of Gunn's version, but there was a lot of character development that needed to happen, but Ayer's version flowed better in my honest opinion given it was shorter. Finally, them character deaths, when they killed Slipknot in Ayer's version it sucked but it needed to happen, but when Boomerang, Flagg, and Polka Dot Man were killed off, it really didn't make much sense to me, especially Boomerang and Polka Dot Man.
Overall, I loved The Suicide Squad, it was an insanely fun and hilarious film packed to the brim with some awesome bloody and gorey action sequences some surprisingly outstanding VFX and a great cast with some awesome on screen chemistry was damn near perfect, but that second act slowed it a tad too much and some of the characters should of have more screen time, but James Gunn delivers it in style.… Expand

The scene where Cleo talks about her late father was a highlight, so was Rick Flag's death, I didn't expect to get teary eyed during this movie but here we are, James Gunn is a genius, a few of the standouts were: Ratcatcher 2 (Cleo) played by Daniela Melchior, Bloodsport (Robert) played by Idris Elba, Rick Flag played by Joel Kinnaman, King Shark (Nanaue) played by Sylvester Stallone, Weasel played by Sean Gunn & last but not least Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie.… Expand

On the first weekend of August 2021, we get the much anticipated release of The Suicide Squad in theaters and on HBO Max. I'm not sure whether this is a sequel to the maligned Suicide Squad from a few years ago, or if this is some kind ofOn the first weekend of August 2021, we get the much anticipated release of The Suicide Squad in theaters and on HBO Max. I'm not sure whether this is a sequel to the maligned Suicide Squad from a few years ago, or if this is some kind of reboot. Either way, the folks at DC Comics want this ensemble to take off and be a part of its universe to rival the Marvel-verse. James Gunn, who is responsible for the successful Guardians of the Galaxy movies, directs The Suicide Squad and attempts to bring some his Marvel magic to the DC world. Here's how it goes.

To be candid, I never saw Suicide Squad. I'd heard such terrible things that I did not give it a chance. I really didn't know much about the characters going into this movie and that turned out to be a good thing. The Suicide Squad focuses on a group of supervillains incarcerated at Belle Reve who are tapped by the ruthless, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), to complete a Black Ops mission in exchange for a reduction of their sentences. In this iteration, Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Peacemaker (John Cena) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) team up with others to dismantle a secret government project in the island of Corto Maltese. Lots of violence, gore, and quips ensue.

What people really come to a movie like The Suicide Squad for is the spectacle. James Gunn has packed this flick full of spectacle. There are so many explosions and kills that your eyes are bouncing from every corner of the screen. DC Comics, apparently, are not shying away from that R-rating - it is earned in spades. There is so much gore splattered all over the screen that it's surprising that none got on me. While a bit overindulgent at a certain point, the kills do make these determined supervillain seem to earn their stripes.

James Gunn translates his success from the Guardians movies here and infuses the Squad with one-liners, winks and a lot of musical cues. Luckily, Gunn's writing and the assembled cast are up for the challenge. Elba and Cena have a good amount of chemistry as rivals in this gang. They both have a self-serious energy that turns into some very funny moments. Cena has done this kind of goofy energy before, but Elba's dry humor seems to fit just as well. I'll also note that in this third performance as Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie has found her stride. She has a good balance of daffy, dastardly comedy and she kicks butt. Harley Quinn is a fun character that can become grating, but there's just the right amount here.

Ultimately, The Suicide Squad is just a good comic book movie about these supervillains on this fill-in-the-blank mission to stop an evil person from doing a bad thing with an alien invader. It's not a particularly special or novel concept, and James Gunn does a good job of making it entertaining by using his Guardians of the Galaxy tricks. What's surprising is that it works well-enough without being silly, boring or too dark, which has been a problem for other DC Comics movies. I've decided I will not watch Suicide Squad because I do not want to taint my enjoyment of The Suicide Squad.

The Suicide Squad is a definite watch on HBO Max. It's funny and entertaining with a lot of music and gory violence, if that's your thing. You'll want to grab a big box of popcorn and watch it multiple times.

Now, as for the theater, I didn't think that The Suicide Squad does anything different or new such that you should pay full price at a theater. You can really tell that it is influenced by Guardians of the Galaxy and that it desperately wants to reach Marvel highs. I don't think it does that, but that doesn't mean it's not still good or a worthy viewing experience. If you want to go to a theater, catch it at a matinee with a bowl of popcorn.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So... Gunn went Rian Johnson's way of subverting expectations and killed almost everyone in first 10 minutes. This movie is more cartoonish than Tom & Jerry. It's bright, gory, trying too hard to be fun and most of the humor comes from voice acting done by Sly. Waller is not herself. It's hard to believe she let her staff live after what they did to her in the final act. Remember, this is the woman who killed everyone expendable during rescue in Ayer's movie. Also, her office now looks like a shelter for homeless. There are no real shockers but the movie is really well cut and the simplicity of the story is it's biggest advantage. Not sure if it's worth watching in theater. Rather a meh than a bang.… Expand

The pacing is the worst in recent memory with flashbacks to character building backstory mid fight and multiple back and forth time skips.... unfortunately it's not original enough to be so bad it's good - no trash cult classic here just a waste of money that apart from a good special effects department and actors who are too good for this movie.… Expand

Not to mention that this is the goriest DC film that matches the quality how the suicide squad is portrayed in the comics and Gunn has done justice. Secondly, the narrative structure with its characters are heartfelt in which us as the audience can easily care for. (Expect a lot of memes on Polkadot Man and you'll see how relevant he is to us and King Shark lol) Almost everyone from the original hot topic Ayer directed PG13 Suicide Squad are back and this sequel-boot has brought in justice done right. Let's not forget to mention that James Gunn's Harley Quinn is the most definitive Harley Quinn we've got and Margot Robbie killed it again since her recent appearance in her Birds of Prey spinoff. The cast is great, the production design is convincingly sharp, and the overall presentation in terms of narrative is just icing on the cake. If I were you, I may see this in theaters before the Delta Variant gets even worse because this is the best DC film we've got.… Expand

Because sometimes following the same formula willJames Gunn recently said in an interview that he finds superhero movies “mostly boring” right now. Anything ranging from safe and boring or technically well-made but disposable, at best. Because sometimes following the same formula will eventually wear fin and more risk taking needs to happen. And here we have ‘The Suicide Squad’, the soft reboot to the 2016 film, but this time directed by Gunn himself, where he delivers a highly entertaining movie that is bursting with creativity and ultra-violence. James Gunn once again shakes up the superhero formula with a slick style.

I just can't believe we got something like this. It's 2 hours and 12 minutes long, but it's always on the move. It’s bonkers from start till finish, and I enjoyed every minute of it. This is probably one of the best shot movies in the DCU. The soundtrack is great as well and used effectively. The action scenes were insane and made the overall experience one of the most fun I had at the cinema in a long time. A massive improvement over the 2016 film, AKA ‘the studio cut’, is that the movie doesn’t look ugly and isn’t chopped together by trailer editors. The movie is vibrant in colours that made it look pleasing to the eye. The structure at times is messy, and yet strangely well-paced, as there’s a lot going on.

Did I mention the movie is very gory? It’s cartoonish violence, or what people call "adult superhero movie", so it's not for kiddies or for the faint of heart. You would probably guess that not everybody on the team is going to make it to the end credits, so deaths are to be expected, but how certain characters “bite the dust” are so unexpectedly gruesome and brutal, it took me by surprise each time. The marketing for the movie was right, don’t get too attached. As I said before, James Gunn had complete creative control over the movie, and he doesn’t hold back on what he wrote and show on screen. But then again, it's a movie, it's not real, the actors who die on screen are fine in real life...I think.

All the cast members have equal amount of time to shine, and you like these super villains this time around, as each character had wonderful chemistry with each other. John Cena plays Peacemaker, who can be best described as a “douchebag version of Captain America”. An extreme patriot who will do the most horrific things for liberty. John Cena excels in the deadpan line delivery for comedic effect, but surprisingly enough, worked well in the serious moments. Looking forward to the spin-off show ‘Peacemaker’. Margot Robbie once again nails the role of the chaotic but gleeful Harley Quinn. While the character isn’t front and centre this time around, more of a side character, but whenever the character is on screen, it’s instantly memorable. Idris Elba plays Bloodsport, a contract killer who’s doing time in prison after failing to kill Superman with a kryptonite bullet, while also dealing with family issues, especially with his daughter. While the character may sound like Will Smith’s Deadshot from the 2016 film, but trust me, the execution here is much stronger. This is by far Elba’s best work in a while. Charismatic and a strong leading presence.

Polka Dot Man, played by character actor David Dastmalchian, a socially awkward, weird, and lame sounding character that has some serious mummy issues, which has a funny running visual gag throughout. However, because of Gunn’s writing and Dastmalchian's performance, the character is more than a joke, but a unique character to watch.

Ratcatcher 2, played wonderfully by Daniela Melchior, who brought so much warmth and heart to the film. I loved how they tied in her tragic backstory into the finale, as it honestly made me cry. And let’s not forget the king himself, King Shark, voiced by Sylvester Stallone. He stole every scene he’s in, because he’s so adorable and has such kind eyes, but when he’s hungry, he can be a killing machine. The rest of the supporting cast, even in the smaller roles, still manage to stand out amidst all the chaos. I liked Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag a lot more this time around, because the actor was given more to work with in terms of good material. Viola Davis is brilliant as the cold and ruthless Amanda Waller. And Peter Capaldi is always a pleasure to see. Also, I like the character of Weasel, who I can describe as a unholy offspring of Shin Godzilla and Rocket Racoon. He may not be beautiful to look at, but he's beautiful to me. Like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, the movie has a lot of heart and I like how they took certain characters, who on page sound stupid and ridiculous but are handled with such love and depth, while also being self-aware of its own characterization.

You can literally watch this as a standalone movie and you won’t be lost or confused, as you don’t need to watch 22 other movies to understand it. This is by far the strongest entry in this jumbled mess of a cinematic universe.… Expand

I just wish they'd have fleshed them out more as their whole plot was wonky and thin. I also think this movie really capitalized on the R-rating. In fact, this would not have worked as a PG-13.

Directed byEVERY time I give a DC film a chance or the benefit of the doubt, I ALWAYS come out regretting it, and this film was certainly no exception, as it managed to outdo the awful and underwhelming first 'Suicide Squad' film as well. Directed by James Gunn (of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' films), what started out in the first half as a somewhat humorous and playful film quickly dived headfirst into absolute mind-numbing CGI/explosion-galore absurdity, shameless gore, and an all-around jumbled and messy story that I couldn't have cared less about. It also REALLY dragged on. With the exception of Margot Robbie and John Cena having their fair share of humorous and scene-stealing moments, EVERYBODY else (yes, even the normally very talented Idris Elba and Viola Davis) were all pitifully wasted. But the worst part? You wanna know what the big main threat is in the second half of this mess of a film? Starfish. A GIANT STARFISH. Yes it's as ridiculous as it sounds. Overall, it's just another shameless, half-assed, and all-around mind-numbing DC film that just continues to remind me why the MCU is consistently better. At least they actually try to come up with decent stories with reasonable premises rather than relying on cheap gore and absolutely absurd premises… Expand

Better than I expected, but nothing more than background noise. The Suicide Squad is the perfect mix when you put The Expendables, Guardians of The Galaxy and Deadpool in a blender. Great action, some funny jokes but mostly 13 years oldBetter than I expected, but nothing more than background noise. The Suicide Squad is the perfect mix when you put The Expendables, Guardians of The Galaxy and Deadpool in a blender. Great action, some funny jokes but mostly 13 years old childish humor, excesive use of time jumping (one is fine, but come on!), perfect casting but Gunn used some character so badly and Waller's resolution was far worse than "Martha moment". Villains had great potential but they were irrelevant for the history, Didn't feel like a real threat in any time.

The most redeemable point of the film is that it feels like a James Gunn movie and the studio let him do whatever sh*t he wanted. Gunn wanted animal cruelty, Warner Bros delivered it. Murder of innocents and children? No problem for Warner. And that's great, because these are bad guys and bad guys do sh*t like that.

I really hope Warner maintains this way of working with the talents in further films.

The Suicide Squad is the best movie of the DCEU? Not even close. Will I watch it again? I doubt it but I wouldn't mind having it as background noise and I can't say the same about WW84, BoP or Josstice League.… Expand

My wife thought it wasSaw this at a sold out showing (half capacity) in Dublin. I'll start with the reactions I heard - which are obviously not scientific - but seemed that every group watching it were split between liking it and hating it. My wife thought it was the worst CBM she's ever seen.

For me it was pretty enjoyable, but completely over the top on some of the gore and other bits just seemed completely unnecessary. The comedy fell flat for me - Peacemaker in particular was as irritating as a dose of scabies.

All that said - some of the cinematography was amazing, and the effects were superb. Not a dodgy mustache in sight. The ultimate feeling I left with was that while it shared characters from the original SS, it in no way felt connected to the DCEU for me. Maybe the next few movies being released can go some way toward remedying that for me.

Idris Elba and Daniela Melchior were the definite highlights - but I find it baffling that they saw anything in this movie which made them think Peacemaker was deserving of his own series.

Overall - a definite improved on the studio release of Suicide Squad - but nowhere near a DC highpoint in my opinion, and I'm really in no rush to rewatch it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, after seeing the trailer - I really had some hype about watching this movie. I did expect it to be on the level of the first Suicide Squad or even better! But my expectations were not meant to be...

The movie starts with an utmost and unnecessary massacre of quite a lot of well-known characters (such as Captain Boomerang, who was one of my favorite. Blasted after just one throw of his boomerang), and quite in a "brutal" way. It looked like DC tried to fish people into cinemas with these well-known names and then just blow them up while saying "hey, you're watching it already, so no matter"...

And then starts a stupid adventure of the dumbest team ever on a mission "nobody knows what or why" while blasting everyone around like it's just another day. It looks cheap and childish, but with an R

The dumb plot that Flag just suddenly decides to betray his government and his country, even though he has been working for the Suicide Squad Project, is just too damn stupid. Especially with how Peacemaker suddenly goes to stop him... Come on, creating a conflict out of nowhere is....disappointing...

Harley kills out a whole military outpost (that was guarding her) like it's nothing. And I mean it! She didn't get a scratch. But killed almost 30 people in there... DC, Harley is cool yeah...but she is NOT A SUP

And finally, the overall protagonist - the ALLMIGHTY SPACE PATRICK THE STARFISH!

OH. COME. ON Like, the whole crew didn't have a better idea about the final danger/boss?? A giant space starfish, who wants to destroy the whole city? I mean, really...?? How old are your designers/scriptwriters? 10, 12 years old?

An utter disappointment... If I weren't visiting the cinema with my friends and drinking some beer - I would've been really depressed after watching this...

DC, You should start putting some effort in your movies...unless You want to do trash-films....… Expand

This latest installment in the "Suicide" franchise is truly annoying, exhausting and exasperating (not to mention shamelessly derivative) in virtually every regard. The overlong ragtag story line defies credibility and coherence, even for an action-adventure/sci-fi/fantasy vehicle where suspending belief generally gets a pass and is assumed to go with the territory. The uneven pacing and often-amateurish editing bog down the progression of the narrative, and the smorgasbord of gags and action sequences grows wholly tiresome quite quickly, despite a few that land successfully. And, with the exception of Margot Robbie's third turn in the role of the outrageous and inimitable Harley Quinn, there's not much to praise among the performances here, either, with heavy hitters like Idris Elba, Viola Davis, John Cena and Sylvester Stallone clearly taking part to cash in on what are assuredly hefty paychecks. Director James Gunn's latest feels like a production thrown together by a room full of stoned collaborators who have combined all of their ideas no matter how well they mesh and, sadly, with little attention paid to creating something cogent and cohesive. While many critics and viewers may have generously given this one a thumbs up simply for having been an improvement over the film's predecessor, that's not really saying much, especially when it comes to whatever discernable merits this second installment might have (not that such qualities are easy to spot to begin with). What's most troubling, though, is how this picture regrettably reflects the state of the American movie industry these days (thank God for foreign films and documentaries).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story was dumb and all over the place.I could not care for any of the characters except for maybe the young rat king girl. Idris elba's character was an extremely bad dad to his daughter. And just cause he does one right thing, we are supposed to believe his daughter seems to have forgiven him for everything and is now proud of him. Characters are villains who do somethings right and continue to do somethings bad. Blood and gore excessively for no reason. Male frontal and female nudity for no reason. Jokes not funny to me personally. Even though some jokes in Deadpool made me laugh. Every character is a little crazy and off. Not for kids it has many adult topics in it. Surprised some people brought kids to theater to watch. Needless and pointless deaths for no reason, is frustrating to me. I wanted to see some characters again but their my were killed off for no reason. Maybe some people like. It was too crazy and I don't care for the characters. Waste of my 2 hours.… Expand

We are not Beavies and Butthead for someone to say "anus" and everyone laughs like **** This was a Marvel movie financed by WB, and what is more sad is to see that WB has decided to give up and now start hiring directors, screenwriters and actors from other companies just to feel accepted as Marvel. The worst part: Starro, being of multiple dimensions, mind control, accelerated recovery ... Killed by a crazy woman with a javelin and some rats. One of the Justice League's greatest enemies killed in the most pathetic way possible… Expand
