Suicide Squad

I wanted to like this film, really I did. But it's clearly been rushed through production with a script that should have been through several more rewrites. Exposition flops onto the screen in great steaming dollops, delivered with comic book dialogue that forgets how much more you can show than tell on screen. Everything feels derivative, from Jared Leto's Steve Buscemi impression to a theme tune nicked from You Only Live Twice. Only Will Smith and Margot Robbie manage to bring something new

Reasonable performances and a colourful cast are unfortunately not enough to make up for the thinly written, poorly paced and bizarrely edited film that Suicide Squad is. Including an underwhelming Joker performance from Jared Leto and obnoxiously used licensed music, David Ayer's DC film features a cast of villains you will likely be emotionally unattached to the entire run-time, and action set-pieces that are serviceable at best.

It was ok. There were character in it tha weren't really explained (Aussie guy). Most everything you expect from a big budget movie. I hope the next one is better.

Worst big-budget film I've ever seen. Not a minute of footage that should have seen the outside of a trashcan in the whole movie.

A disheveled collection of ersatz nonsense, directed like a music video. Some decent performances by Will Smith and Margot Robbie are mostly wasted here, and I cared little about these characters or what happened to them.

Suicide Squad wussies out when it should have been down with the Dirty Dozen of DC Comics. Audiences complained that Batman v Superman was too dark and depressing. So director-writer David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury) counters with light and candy-assed. I call bullshit.

Another DC blunder that tries to cover up the bad writing and even worse editing with pop songs every thirty seconds.

Bogged down with hype. Leto's Joker is a stand out along with Robbie's Harley Quinn and Smith's Deadshot. Not as good as the hype made out in terms of plot.

Suicide Squad isn't the smash hit the classic rock song-ladden trailers may have led me into believing it could be. DC can't seem to sever its ties, to grim dark and bad characterisation. But don't misunderstand its a step in the right direction and an at times deliriously fun ride through the mean streets of Gotham.

If you were going to choose a movie to commit Suicide while watching, it might as well be this one. Suicide Squad is a mass of horrific editing and a shotty story that is all the more disappointing when you think of it's potential.

Awful.. fell asleep twice... Sith.. Robbie and Letto were ok... but thats it... looks like a Chris Nolan crapfest

I watch this movie twice in cinema, even though im a big fan of Batman and it changes since Affleck but i must say Suicide Squad is like what most article said. It wasn't as good as what you expected but wasn't as bad as what you hear.

But Will Smith...

Suicide.

The casting, despite big names, was mostly awful. The choice of villain was silly and childish. It destroyed the movie. The government lady who assembled the squad should have been cast by someone more recognizable and funny. Half of the squad was not interesting. Will Smith, Jared Leto, and Margot Robbie all stole the show.

OVER HALF AN HOUR ON TELLING ME WHO THE GODDAMN CHARACTERS ARE!!! Even the boomerang guy gets five minutes and he dies after ten! And then they just shove in the Katana chick, who has a whole bunch going on, in like two seconds. They didn't know what was happening. Harley Quinn and Deadshot are the only 'alive' characters. AND WHAT IS EL DIABLO DOING?? WHY IS HE JUST STANDING THERE, NOT GETTING SHOT??

I loved some of the visuals that were used in this and the whole direction of the film had a unique flair to it. Unfortunately the plot was a little thin and a lot of the potential was lost due to this. Great action move nevertheless and the fight scenes are excellent.

An objectively bad film that I somehow kind of enjoyed. I guess I can't hate something this incompetent. Probably the worst edited film I've ever seen. The entire first act is a series of musical montages set to really on the nose song choices introducing the characters (and some of them get introduced more than once). Some fun performances though - Margot Robbie is great and creates a character that isn't there in the script and Will Smith does his Will Smith thing. Jared Leto is abysmal.

I felt like the actors were great. I enjoyed the performances just fine. The movie itself though seemed to lack a real sense of direction though which made it feel pretty jumbled up. Ideally if/when some of these characters are seen again, it will be with a much better directing team behind it.

Will Smith wasn't Deadshot... He was Will Smith. I can't remember shit about this movie except that and the fact that it was indeed bad.

Obvious studio meddling ruined this movie. 3/4 of the cast could have been dropped. Bad CGI in climax. The only reason to watch this was Margot Robbie in skimpy outfits, and at least there they delivered.

This film is loud and annoying. DC have tried to cram too many characters into one film instead of building a believable plot based around characters that have some depth. This film is a montage of choppily edited scenes and relentlessly annoying background music. Jared Leto's character (joker) is totally forgettable. The director (David Ayer) has a very sporadic filming style which cripples the films cinematography.

A movie I could watch once a week. Favorite character is Dead Shot.

It's not Warcraft at least

Jared Leto scares me

Not much of a plot, but entertaining and darkly funny.

What a mess.

Bad 3D.

Really liked the dynamic and Harley Quinn

Hayır.

A disastrous mess plagued with choppy storytelling, muddled stakes, a cliche plot, & oddly occult trappings, Suicide Squad mostly manages to underwhelm & disappoint. However, the unexpected saving grace is not that of Jared Leto's mockery of the Joker. Rather, it's the amazing fit of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and her electric chemistry with Will Smith as Deadshot. Add in a fantastic portrayal of Amanda Waller and the movie has the cast needed to impress. Unfortunately, the writing wastes it.

Not bad, just felt kind of half-baked. Like, if they had fixed up some stuff, it would have been a ton better, but it seemed like they just ran out of time to clean it all up. Margot Robbie and Will Smith are excellent, as is Viola Davis. Jared Leto's Joker is... interesting, that's for sure. But I think people give it too much criticism. It seemed like that's how Jim Carrey would've played it, had he done it. And a lot of it took place in the dark, and made it kinda hard to make out.

Just barely better than Justice League.

Eh, not really for me. The villains were really just kind of weird. The coolest part of the movie was the one good bad guy who essentially became an Aztecan fire god. That was pretty bomb.

Aside from the annoying uncharacteristic behavior of the joker and Harley, I liked this movie. It kept me entertained, I have been a fan of Deadshot for awhile, nice to see him shine. Diablo.
