[Journal entry 823] It stepped out of the shadows as I walked to my car. "Hey hon, wanna have a good time?," it croaked, shuffling towards me on badly edited legs, tone all over the place. "I got Batman cameos. Look, I'm an extended version!" A flash of neon color and red-blue shorts. Its plot reeked of desperation and studio interference. [Journal, continued] I left without paying, ashamed and disappointed. It didn't care and rolled its credits, hoping for a sequel. Outside, it started to rain.
22	BillyShears	40 _12th
They fight stupid bubbly rock monsters while a scene devouring lady wiggles around a room creating more bubbly rock monsters and people are shocked that this movie sucks. The Jared Leto Joker saves us from the horrible story we've been dragged into. Batfleck Forever. The first half of this movie is overloaded with dad rock to trick you into thinking there is life within the screen.
14	KasperL	20 _4th
I can imagine the advertising department trying to come up with a good tagline at a meeting after having just been subjected to the lousy finished product. Several moments of tense silence pass by, and then finally, following a sigh of utter resignation, the intern raises a hand and ventures a desperate suggestion: "Well, guys, those Honest Trailers are really popular, you know ... How about we simply go with 'Worst Heroes Ever'?"
14	Tony Irwin	12 _13th
At first each scene breathed with genuine wit, intelligence and ironic detachment: I was in bliss. But half way through it just all falls apart - the psychopaths get lost in a studio set of a city and walk around in circles bonding with each other until they stumble upon the set of Ghostbusters. With nothing more to offer us at the end than "Own yourself and make friends" the movie is sickeningly empty of purpose and is corruptively weak. I feel worse for having watched it. A cartoon for teens.
13	spleen	12 _6th
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for illiterate millennials.
13	Leonardis	66 _8th
I liked this movie at first, but it hasn't been sitting well with me lately. The script and visual effects aren't good at all, but it does develop Deadshot well and I liked El Diablo and how they began Joker and Harley's relationship, but then again, I wasn't engaged with Jared Leto's Joker. He seemed more like a criminal pretending to be the Joker more than an actual Joker. There's a fair share of bad dialog in here too. I thought this was very average and quite grim and messy.
12	FoxyRussian	14 _6th
The acting by Will Smith and Margot Robbie is the only good thing. The movie tries so hard to be edgy. The characters and story are bland and all over the place. Jared Leto overacts and oversells an already terrible over the top version of the joker. The villain is more absent in the movie than my father was in my life. Action scenes range from meh at best to "I can't believe I miss Zach Snyder" bad
11	Paxton	40 _9th
Just to clarify, the group is assembled by the villain. The heavy is actually one of the group that the villain assembled. The villain needs rescuing from the heavy that is part of the group that she assembled so the assembled group defeats the heavy saving the villain from the heavy that was part of the assembled group. I'm not joking when I tell you I cry for Jai Courtney. "I was in the DC Universe, Terminator franchise, Die Hard franchise, and a best selling YA series. Nothing good though."
10	moonsmilk	1 _1st
More competent than Batman versus Superman, but more obnoxious. Jared Leto tries to be every Joker at once and ends up being a complete waste. All of the jokes/musical cues are obvious as hell. This might also be one of the most sexist/racist movies I've seen in ages. Diablo and Killer Croc are both racist stereotypes, and Harley Quinn's abusive relationship with the Joker is completely romanticized (how does a CARTOON from 10 years ago do a better job at treating Harley with respect?).
9	Luna6ix	64 _21st
Ayer's done some great movies too, you know, but this one feels like it was written by an aspiring YA author with no talent for pacing or storytelling. In concept, it would have been an awesome movie, but there's about five backstories prior to the plot, and some of the characters are even missed. Not to mention some key casting choices were completely botched, Delevingne and Leto, namely. Maybe, after this train wreck, if they have the balls to shoot a sequel, sans backstory, it could work out.
8	frederic_g54	4 _14th
I could write a review about how obnoxious and perfunctory this movie is, but then I realized I could spend that time doing other obnoxious and perfunctory things such as filling in my tax return, doing my laundry, queuing in the post office, watching paint dry, reading '50 Shades of Grey' and NOT writing a review about how obnoxious and perfunctory this movie is.
8	Okkervil	15 _12th
Unforgivably terrible considering the potential. The editing is catastrophic. The storytelling utterly weightless & infuriatingly muddled. Ayer's script is unsurprisingly dogshit. Action is as dull & as uninteresting as it comes. Awful villain. Characters are disjointed unrelated entities with zero connection. Leto's Joker is shit & misses the point of the character. Studio interference abound. I realise that's just a list of bad things about this film, but meh shrugs shoulders & leaves.
8	bakcheia	16 _22nd
The execution of this was so terrible, like I don't even understand why they made it. It wants to be subversive, yet plays into the tropes it's trying to subvert. I also think the script was written by someone who has a terrible Twitter feed full of one-liners because oh my fucking god. Jared Leto was also an abysmal Joker and I think we need to revoke his Oscar. Also, why all of the regressive racist stereotyping??? Just what the fuck is even going on? What year is it? I don't remember my name?
7	FrederikA	35 _11th
People have been unfairly hard on this movie. It shows courage from the studio, that they made a big budget art house experiment based on the intriguing idea of "what would happen if you emptied a box of old GI Joes and off-brand DC heroes out in a room filled with preschoolers, gave them a ton of candy, put on your Spotify playlist and asked them to come up with a cool superhero story". Too bad they couldn't find a real Joker action figure, though. That painted Ken doll wasn't working for me.
7	NothingsGood	5 _3rd
Guardians of the Galaxy for people who think both Queen and Eminem are "the classics," The Dark Knight is the best Batman movie ever, have never read a comic book, have the attention span of a fly, and are 12.
6	eveelun	45 _8th
What a confusing, depressing, and unpleasant movie. I don't have an issue with amoral anti-heroes as long as they're charismatic or compelling, but here we're given no reason to care about or root for any of these characters when they decide to kill or not kill innocent people, to save or not save the world, etc. Moreover, all the characters seems like hollow pastiches of well-worn tropes (assassin with soft-spot for kids, hard-ass squad leader who falls for wrong woman, and so on).
6	AgentSnipe	47 _5th
Will Smith saved this movie. Plain and simple. It was pretty much his usual schtick, but I was so relieved that they cut out so many of his awful one-liners from the trailers. Joel Kinnaman & Jared Leto were both awful. Really, it didn't seem like The Joker belonged in the movie AT ALL. This movie was like watching a (badly conceived) videogame. The plot was very straightforward. There was one mission and every now and then the action was broken up by some cutscenes and then game over.
6	joseywales	49 _21st
+20 for Will Smith, +30 for Margot Robbie's ass. -10 for the movie and story. +5 more for dat ass. +a few more points for Katana. -a bunch more because... ugh. +a few more because. I dunno. It was colorful and fun/hilarious. -a few more because that Joker was the worst Joker. +a few more because I think there's only a few minutes left. -a few because I'm reviewing before it's overHOLY SHIT I THINK THE END JUST HAPPENED! so +few because that? I dunno. Dat ass.
6	sellis	13 _2nd
It's like David Ayer saw Guardians of the Galaxy and decided it needed less charisma, imagination, and one draft of a shit screenplay. Honestly, could be one of the most annoying films I've ever seen
6	Beer94	48 _19th
Tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of Deadpool or GOTG and just fails. Tonally inconisistent, terrible dialogue and just a general lack of cohesion. Also, don't even get me started on the music choices... I really wanted to like this more and I already feel like I've inflated this rating, and it's annoying because it was probably ok before DC reshot and butchered it.
6	SirStuckey	35 _10th
While there are some good things going on here (acting by everyone except Leto, certain story elements after the first act) there is just too much crap to make this likable. The use of soundtrack has to be the most amateurish I've ever heard, the villain was lame and absurdly inserted into the film, and too much of the plot was a jumbled mess.
6	Bown	37 _3rd
Jesus christ! What a piece of shit!
6	jthusky	26 _7th
As the DCU tries desperately to ape the MCU's success, it continues to make the same mistakes without improving them. Suicide Squad has a poor script, terrible editing, awful inconsistent tone, a cast of characters who are all over the place... it's a smorgasbord of bad decisions caused by executives that have no idea what they're doing. This movie should have been a slam dunk, but Warner Bros. is too desperate for MCU-level success to actually be able to achieve MCU-level success.
5	LennyNero	25 _14th
What an awful piece of shit. They wasted characters and actors on an absolutely terrible script. A pointless beginning (or should I say 3 beginnings), forgettable villains and henchmen and absolutely zero chemistry within the squad (Diablo was good though). The tone was also off for the majority of the movie (I only liked the bar scene) and the over-, and above all, misuse of songs was irritating.
5	Ofterdingen	10 _0th
Insanely bad. It's hard to decide what sucks the most: Jared Leto, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis, the speciel effects, the storytelling, the guy-who-can-climb-up-everything, or the girl talking to her dead husband through the Sword of Souls.
5	McJohnson	76 _25th
Smith is good, Delevingne is heart-rendingly awful. The rest do what they can with the super-flat characters given them. Plot is wafer-thin. Action scenes are passable.
5	oldgoat	54 _21st
The script alternates between fast acceleration and screeching stops like being in a car with someone who cannot drive well and like that leaves you wanting out. Character development is forced and pandering. Margot Robbie has almost no reason to be in most scenes despite the camera cutting to her nonstop. She eventually redeems herself with a good moment and then immediately loses it. Jared leto is actually bad. Will Smith is inoffensive. Editing is bad. Music is dumb how its used.
5	Gideon	1 _16th
I really wanted to like this movie, alas it turned out to be one great disappointment. Basically the script is a big mess, the anti-heroes made me cringe most of the time, the overall style reeks of MTV grade retardation and the plot goes nowhere. Watch the trailer, you'll probably enjoy it more. I know I did.
5	Kingjohnbbq	40 _5th
(Spoilers) I knew I would be let down. I didn't realize how much. I figured I could find some entertainment value, but outside the Pyro guy and seeing the detective from The Killing in it, I was lost amongst a sea of mediocrity. Why not have this team fight a similar group of mostly no superpower villains rather than super powerful world ending gods? harley has a baseball bat. Most of the movie was me clutching my head going "give me a break!" and they never did.
5	pustota	30 _11th
Couldn't care for a second what's happening in this movie or for any of the characters. Song jingles came and went, one liners was painful to watch. Never understood bad guys snoring and hissing like animals, guess what, this movie has plenty of that too. I guess the best thing about this is first look trailer, hinting dark and gritty story that never was and everything else can be summed up with a quote from Joker "blah blah blah blah blah blah".
5	chmul_cr0n	31 _4th
The couple of arcs and back story bits this movie has actually work. As for the rest... :( :( Felt like watching that Fantastic Four movie again. Saw the Extended Cut.
5	Boxcars	3 _5th
DC's latest transparent product buries what could have been a fun concept underneath baffling editing, a whiplash tone, obnoxious performances, a pandering and distracting soundtrack, and a mind-numbing script and final act that would wholly justify a hypothetical critical campaign against DC's cinematic universe.
4	cagedwisdom	25 _17th
I think there's a really good movie in here somewhere. But the reshoots and especially re-edits have made it a complete mess, hard to follow and completely unpalatable as a whole. DC have no idea what they're trying to do - unless what they're trying to do is waste as much potential as possible in two hours. Even with no expectations going in it manages to be a disappointing experience. Someone save these execs from themselves.
4	auritech	13 _5th
Where do I even start? I mean, I get it; it's a middle finger in the eye of the Avengers. Not subtle about it. But everything is done so poorly, from the writing, to the acting, to the editing, to the COLOR GRADING, it's ridiculous! The first half is like a trailer for the last half and everything is so badly shoehorned in. It's a film off an assembly line trying to rush a product to market but the paint is all wrong and also it falls apart in your hands after you buy it. Don't waste your time.
4	Bojangles	30 _12th
No real psychosis--just wise cracking class clowns. Jared Leto didn't immerse himself (which would be the highest possible praise, obviously) in the Joker so much as he immersed the Joker in a distilled solution of Leto's own egoic fluid, turning the character into a rockstar/playboy born out of his own image--someone who might well endorse the same cologne as Leto himself. Innumerable people die, but no one of consequence. Is that a spoiler? Who gives a fuck, really?
4	bowfinger	5 _2nd
this movie sucks beyond anything you can imagine.
4	Koalafish	30 _2nd
Why do I keep watching the movies that I already know will suck?
4	Wiche	43 _18th
Ridiculously, asburdly overrated. If, and I repeat IF, you manage to survive the first twenty minutes you have seen nothing but a disastrous presentation of all the characters. And that was even the only really structured part of the movie. Afterwards it gets really bad.
4	vespera23	73 _39th
What could have been a really great 30 minute short about some bad guys on a doomed mission to save a city gets stretched into a C - feature length action flick due to unnecessary fluff.
4	d_r_e_s_	1 _8th
Oh wow. It has pretty much only gone down hill since End of Watch for Ayer. This was just horrible. *Bad
4	hellboy76	60 _26th
It's not the worst superhero movie I have seen, but its the messiest. The tonality and dialogue reek of re-edits and focus groups. Honestly I don't really know how you do this movie well. If they play straight baddie you have likability problems anyways. Jesus I don't know, the underdeveloped characters bizarre motivations and forced sugary backstories killed this before it had a chance. Sigh.
4	Superargo	8 _3rd
Leto's Joker is like a DTV emo version of Ledger's Joker. Cara Delevingne's Enchantress is like Gozer the Gozerian mixed with Aaliyah in QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. What the fuck is Katana doing in this movie but I liked the tank top they had her in. My favorite Suicide Squad member was Captain Boomerang. This movie is shot in the dark in the rain and has no plot and Grape Head People are the bad guys.
4	Scorpus	38 _5th
A horrendous plot, terrible dialogue, and lack of screen time for actually compelling characters makes Suicide Squad a huge disappointment
4	xacviant	42 _8th
The ambitious Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) assembles a task force of villains to protect the world from its next great threat...or take the fall if they fail. Clearly reshot and re-edited to the brink of incoherence, this would've been a problematic film anyway, its misogynist and racist undertones being unrelieved by well-rounded characters or thrilling action. It does have its moments (Jai Courtney is the best he's ever been), but the film as released is simply unacceptable as cinema.
4	Dakota99	4 _28th
I like this more then BvS, they're both incoherent messes, but I like this a tad more. Margot Robbie and Will Smith are a big reason why, especially Robbie who does things for me that I cannot say on here. Anyways, aside from a conflicting script, the villain is so weak. I'd consider her weaker than most average action films and that really hurts this. On top of that, everyone else felt meh or completely miscasted (Leto/Joker) thankfully, I've seen enough to know there is potential.
4	kjetting	29 _17th
I like the idea of a Suicide Squad movie, and the actors are a talented bunch who could have made it a good one. Sadly, there is no love here. No one thought "let's make a good movie". The motivation was profit, and superheroes are a big thing now. The tone seems set to try and ape trends in popular superhero movies, and the end result is messy. And then there's the music... Scenes awkwardly set to the Rolling Stones, the White Stripes, AC/DC and Eminem's biggest hits just screams desperation.
4	MacSwell	20 _3rd
Ayer's contribution to the emergent DC film universe is a disastrous one. The dialogue is embarrassing, the story makes no sense, the action scenes are insipid and the antagonists are toothless CGI eyesores. Smith and Davis are effective but Robbie and Leto stink as the marquee duo, and the rest of the characters are underdeveloped almost to the point of anonymity. It simply struggles to generate any degree of entertainment at all.
4	Groovy_Souls	70 _56th
The first half of Suicide Squad feels like a very well-done short film, and while the second half stutters, it still manages to be a pretty good film; despite what critics are saying. It's cast absolutely carries the film, but Ayer flexes some nice direction and cinematography. Most of my complaints are with a story that is not tight or well-edited, but honestly it's still a lot of fun, even if it isn't a masterpiece.
4	anarchistica	20 _4th
Suicide Squad is an utterly nonsensical soulless borefest. The only thing going for it is that it unintentionally comes across as a parody. The enemies are literally faceless. The dialogue is cringeworthy, especially the "ethnic" part and sometimes sounds like a voice-over. The use of music is terrible, it is hard to imagine that anyone seriously thought it was good. I've never seen anything try so hard to come across as edgy while playing it safe. And i haven't even mentioned how stupid it is.
3	robe	10 _2nd
straight boring macho and stupid
3	slidercc	80 _77th
Very enjoyable movie. Once again the public's mind has been polluted by corrupt critics on the marvel/Disney payroll. Vintage Will Smith appeared in 2016 and was surprisingly pretty good. Can't wait to see a solo joker movie.
3	Ytadel	4 _43rd
Harley Quinn is love, Harley Quinn is life.
3	easydiff	40 _32nd
Easily the most frustrating thing about this insanely interesting train wreck is just.how.close. it comes to getting everything right. It's a beautiful disaster, and DC will learn nothing because Margot Robbie in hotpants just made them $500million.
3	cowfrappe	43 _11th
If only they had made the movie the trailer advertised: the fun, in-your-face, subversive answer to the Avengers and the Marvelverse. Instead we got an inflated, over-serious, poorly-conceived mess.
3	Mentaculus	22 _5th
Truly ugly in every sense of the word - it's actually impressive how repulsive the film makes casually interesting characters. It's a series of checklists: these songs, these cameos, these "diversity" characters. (Big quotes, there.) It could have worked, if the foundation wasn't the scripts of Predator, Last Tango in Paris, and Escape from New York thrown in a blender and covered with cotton candy that fell in the dirt.
3	caffe	15 _1st
Margot Robbie is the one saving grace of this boring, dour movie. While BvS was a bad movie, at least it was fairly original in all the insane choices made. This is a superhero movie by the numbers only with all joy stripped out. Except for Robbie's Harley that is. The one thing the DC movies have got going for them are their female performers with Robbie and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman so they had better pick up on and start profiting from that unless they wanna keep firing duds.
3	Julius	60 _20th
With lethal doses of both hot and crazy, Margot Robbie is perfect as Harley Quinn. At least for me, she carries what little this movie has to offer. Will Smith is also passable as hitman turned good guy, Deadshot. They can, however, not save an utterly poor storyline as well as a remaining roster of painfully forgettable characters. Normally I enjoy Jared Leto, and coming in I really wanted to like this version of The Joker. The massacre of an icon was the movie's biggest letdown.
3	dst7175	70 _63rd
Margot Robbie is great!
3	Obdurate	55 _17th
Deadshot was just kinda Smith, Robbie was good as Harley even though they had her saying some awful stuff (the script is bad and not funny), Diablo was interesting, Waller was fine, the others were kinda meh and this was a C-grade Mafioso Joker that didn't work. Action was fine, story was fine, a lot was fine but not great.I liked it but I would really like to see the first version of it before the reshoots because I liked it when it was darker, since the comedy sucked.
3	lumen	4 _9th
The first 30 minutes are bad and then it gets worse.
3	elmakebabi	30 _6th
After seeing this fucked up movie I think Batman V Superman is a masterpiece!
3	moraesfelipe	20 _1st
Now I want to like Joel's Batman movies. For real. The first 30min are clearly damaged by studio fingers -- a trailer-like presentation of characters with obvious pop songs, colorful design and punchlines. Actually, the entire movie feels phony. Gangsta Joker sucks, the plot barely moves, Quinn delivers something catchy, but the whole thing just seems way too awful and generic. Ayer can't find a proper tone between trying miserably to be subversive, dark and ironic. What a shitty experience.
3	WWallce4prez	40 _7th
Suicide Squad is ultimately another superhero film about a bad chick (who likes to hula) creating a bright flashy thing in the sky, which seems to a popular villain hobby as of late. It drops from passable to bad, mainly because of Ayer's clear desire to be edgy and the film's atrocious dialogue. It is fine to praise Will Smith, but the veteran would be decent in any trash you put him in. The Joker serves no point and doesn't move the story along in the least.
3	dunetails	50 _29th
Everything all the reviews said is true. In almost every scene I can see what they're aiming for but they keep missing
3	mrandersen10	50 _6th
Garbage.
3	BionicNinjas	0 _1st
If Criticker would let me, my review of this movie would consist of nothing but an image of a large, steaming pile of poop.
3	Sweekoden	22 _9th
About as dire a soundtrack and sound direction as you'll find in a film, and also super disappointing visually. It was more coherent and attention-grabbing than Batman vs. Superman, and ultimately I enjoyed it slightly more, though it was bad. If I were held at gunpoint and forced to rewatch them both I'd imagine BvS, being the much denser and more complex film, would overtake Suicide Squad, but both were a waste of time. Smith and Robbie were decent casting choices. The rest, not so much.
3	bentien	31 _7th
Aside from a few good ideas and watchable actors this is just a mess of a movie.
3	Matthew Parkinson (CineMarter)	40 _31st
Suicide Squad is a disappointingly mediocre movie. It takes too long to get going, and the payoff isn't worth all the setup. The action isn't anything special, the characters are thinly written, it's tonally inconsistent, it's difficult to care much about what's happening, and it ultimately amounts to nut very much at all. Could it have been worse? Of course! It's tolerable. Is that enough? No, it's not, especially after the last DC failure. Suicide Squad isn't good. [Full Review]
3	MontyCircus	40 _38th
Should be called: "The Deadshot and Harley Quinn Squad" The first 80% of the movie seemed more like an extended music video, shoe-horning in popular songs back-to-back-to-back...apeing "Guardians" much? Will Smith didn't seem like an assassin as much as your friendly next-door mailman. Joker was wasted. The rest of the squad was very forgettable. The whole film seemed to be screaming "Look at me! We're so much more gritty and adult-oriented than Marvel!"
3	ribcage	35 _12th
There wasn't any plot really, the villain sucked, and they tried too hard to make all the bad guys into good guys when isn't the point supposed to be they're not at all good guys? The hell? Stop trying to make them so weepy and sympathetic!
3	WulfstanLee	30 _25th
Manufactured abjection is not abjection. Boring.
3	comepelicula	20 _4th
It's unbelievable how people think that popular music can compensate the lack of a story and a terrible script. Maybe it worked, they made a huge profit. Anyway I don't remember the last time a movie made me cringe more with those forced one liners, especially Harley's lines. I have nothing good to say about this movie, not even the design. Also extended versions are feeling more like DLC for an uncompleted movie.
3	The Pirate	69 _29th
Yet another example of a studio not knowing what they want there movie to be. All the best moments are in the trailers, and half don't make it to the final cut! The narrative is incredibly choppy, the scenes mix like water and vinegar, and themes like honor among thieves or the levels of villainy are never explored beyond face value. To be fair, some of the characters are able to do their comic source's justice despite limited screentime, and the action scenes can be pretty fun.
3	magdabag	40 _3rd
no, stop it please.
3	P u l p	12 _2nd
Just a really expensive movie
3	DyanneThorne	32 _15th
So this is why Arrow had to kill off their Deadshot, huh? It has interesting aesthetics and once in a while some funny banter, probably by accident. But it's boring, it's confusing, it's full of plot holes and there are way, way, way too many characters, none of whom are particularly watchable. I wont even get into the casting, except to say that Jared Leto is no Mark Hamill.

Suicide Squad is shockingly inconsistent, and it's not just the plot holes and pacing. Deadshot, HQ, and Diablo are the only characters that are given any development, and one of them (the most interesting one) is killed off. Normally, while watching a film I'm either engaged or bored, satisfied or annoyed, and at least entertained. This film offers nothing...it literally just passes the time. Like its soundtrack, it's obvious what the film is trying to do, it just fails to pull anything off.
3	BadFurDay	4 _23rd
I have to be honest : this was not good, even for a popcorn flick. They throw a bunch of familiar characters at us and expect the audience to care, but do nothing to make us care other than some low tier sob story. The characters have no depth, the main villains are a joke, and this movie just seems to build up to a sequel instead of being self contained. Upside was that, for once, the 3D was pretty well done, so if you're gonna go see it at least go to a theater that does 3D.

Look, it's not a smart film but I enjoyed this. The first and foremost problem is that they are too likeable to be villains. From the sounds of things, the reshoots to make this film "lighter" may have had something to do with this. Then there isn't enough about most of the characters. I could go on, and there are many things wrong with this, but at the end of the day, I was entertained for the duration.
3	jasonwhyte	49 _13th
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
2	Filligan	42 _4th
This should've matched the tone of Guardians of the Galaxy as a flashy, lighter romp with less-than-zero heroes. Instead the film is bogged with slow-motion, music-swelling rallies to victory and walks of badassery that the story never earns an ounce of. You want to make the bad guys save the day, fine, but you have to perform a delicate balancing act. Character empathy still must exist for audience engagement. Smith comes closest to this. Terrible script. Oh, and Leto? Still not done gagging.
2	IcyBrian	64 _25th
Suicide Squad isn't half as fun as its soundtrack wants you to believe. You can't mask a lack of fun in the script & on screen with entertaining music. Most of what works here comes in the performances. Viola Davis, Will Smith, & Jai Courtney are all great in their roles. Despite a bad script that objectifies the character & eliminates any depth from the comics, Margot Robbie is an excellent Harley Quinn. But how is it that Jared Leto went crazy playing Joker and THAT was all he came up with?
2	timmo	30 _4th
This could be a really great TV series, with time dedicated to letting the characters develop and grow together. Without that time, or without at least some skilled writing and direction, any semblance of emotional connections between those characters (let alone the audience and the characters) disappears immediately, and what's left is this spectacular mess that technically qualifies as a movie, but feels more like Ayer improvised the direction of a script written by a ten year old.
2	gogokain	25 _36th
Very unenjoyable movie. The general consensus was pretty much spot on with this one. Will Smith sleepwalks through a role I'm sure he instantly regretted accepting. I hope this shitty Joker doesn't show up in any future DC movies.

2	Suture Self	3 _25th
The worst part about this movie wasn't the plot, because I've yet to see a blockbuster superhero film without a stupid plot. THE AVENGERS' plot was just as stupid and sported a similar premise, yet for whatever reason it was unanimously praised. The worst part about this movie was 1) the shameless racism; 2) every scene with Will Smith's daughter - I can't believe they expected me to buy into that saccharine bullshit; and 3) The one-liners never ended, and they were all so bad it physically hurt
2	martryn	51 _17th
This thing is a jumbled fucking mess full of potential and promise. I feel like there was probably some drama with studio execs or something that explains why this movie is so terrible. DC has no fucking clue what they're doing.
2	Anomaly	48 _17th
In response to criticisms that their films are poorly paced and incoherent, DC makes a movie that's even MORE poorly paced and incoherent! Great plan guys.
2	Vassago	65 _46th
Robbie was great, really fun to watch her as Quinn. Joker is a NO-NO. Waller was perfect casting. Other side-chars don't really matter. I did enjoy the movie tbh but voodoo-enchantress stuff just doesn't work with me. I would have liked to see a more simple action movie. But again Robbie just make you watch and love the movie.
2	Sentry04	63 _29th
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.

A bit of a pointless mess but still ok. Fun characters for the most part.
2	Snazz	50 _31st
I watched this, knowing that the critics did not like it. So my expectations were low, but I wanted to see why Will Smith chose to play Deadshot. I quickly found myself wondering if anything in the plot made sense. A crazy girl with a club nor a guy with boomerang is fit to fight a potential evil superman or a super witch, right? The list of questions goes on. The Joker's part is really off too.

2	INDYATMN	81 _61st
The villains are stock wizards & magical minions who are super powerful 1 minute & easily killed w/ a bat or exploded via bombs the next. (Why did they need metahumans for this mission again?) This Joker is also far 2 desperate to let everyone know just how crazy he is & too many jokes fall flat. Still, it's an entertaining ride given the sheer number of colorful anti-heroes & personalities that bounce off each other & Harley's Bugs Bunny-like cartoonishness helps make this super team feel fresh

DC just can't do multiple superhero movies as well as Marvel does them. Most of the movie is entertaining EXCEPT the Enchantress who plays the villain. Her dialogues and the CGI effects surrounding her got on my nerves. Only Will Smith as Deadshot and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn calmed my nerves and made this movie watchable. The plot seems to be just made up to make money. And they did an almost good job.
2	Prismatic	87 _78th
I fucking loved it.
2	kgbelliveau	90 _82nd
Margot Robbie is an absolute delight as Harley Quinn and it is her presence with her fellow cast members that really propelled Suicide Squad to such a high rating. Had the dialogue been a little less cheesy and some of the characterization a bit more defined this film could have easily been the best of 2016. I say away with all the haters and if you loved the books like I did there is a pretty good chance you will love the film too!
2	PetrosTser	60 _41st
It's a bit chatty and by-the-numbers, but "Suicide Squad" succeeds on the entertainment front. The action is very solid, the characters memorable and the humour good. Add to that the neat aesthetics and the fine cast and you've got two hours of above-par entertainment. It might be flawed and rather inessential, but it has personality and consistency, two fields in which DC has been having trouble lately.
2	Jerky	50 _46th
This film is a hot mess. It doesn't really develop any characters besides Will Smith (yes...Big Willie Style IS a character) I liked Harley Quinn a lot as it was smart to not just do the over the top Harley from 90's cartoons, even though the whole film looked like a cartoon itself. A little too frenetic in it's pacing and unless you're a DC fanboy, the film just expects you to know who all the characters are by the little snippets they show, and that's asking a lot from the B squad.
2	glumpy_99	62 _21st
What could have been a lively diversion unfortunately sinks under its own weight -- at its best in the first half when the motley gang are being introduced, but the second half turns grimy, ugly and ultimately incoherent (lots of sequences set in the shadows) with the 'real' villain's master plan seeming very low stakes for a superhero movie. The cast essentially makes this worth watching, with Robbie's deliciously unhinged Harley Quinn and Leto's perfect Joker standing out.
2	guy piranha	30 _6th

2	damil	30 _7th
This movie was really just awful on pretty much every level. It's mind-boggling how it was mishandled in every single aspect. The characters are hollow. The performances sucked. Margot Robbie is the one little spark among the dreary sludge. The plot is vague and convoluted. It's ugly, and the direction, editing, and visual effects are bad. The soundtrack is shameless. My full rant/review here: http://awkweirdme.tumblr.com/post/155008191784/suicide-squad-2016-this-sucked-so-fucking-bad
2	ericambler	45 _12th
Despite a handful of interesting performances--Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney--SUICIDE SQUAD is a confused, jumbled mess, attempting to ape the devil-may-care mayhem of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY while trying to posit a darker version of the selfish antihero narrative in DEADPOOL and succeeding at neither. It's not exactly boring or bad to look at, just depressing in its litany of clearly reactionary and/or marketing-driven creative decisions.
2	sammydeedge	70 _42nd
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.
2	goremeat	30 _13th
Pretty terrible paint-by-numbers comic book movie.
2	Ryan Lueders (ReelRyan)	65 _22nd
Is it a suicide mission to have a super hero movie starring the villains? It shouldn't be. I thought this movie was okay. It wasn't wonderful by any means, but I enjoyed some parts of it. Margot Robbie was born to be Harley for sure. She looked Ah-mazing. I didn't like Leto as the Joker though. His look and performance didn't do anything for me. I hated Will Smith. He could have been removed halfway through the film and I wouldn't have noticed... [Full Review]
2	noisebloom	45 _6th
This DC Cinematic feature starts out promising, introducing an array of potentially interesting characters. After the first half hour, however, the movie's story falls apart: there is no real tension, the silly main villain relies completely on ridiculous CGI, and the conclusion is one plot hole after another. Overall, Suicide Squad squanders any really potential it had.
2	thorn969	8 _3rd
I guess one can say this movie was fast-paced and action-packed? Or in other words, it was a mess of bright colors, loud explosions, and sharp cuts that never attempted to make any sense, tell a story, or develop characters.
2	Barraoc	70 _64th
Great concept, execution was okay, and there's Harley Quinn. Why doesn't she get a movie of her own? Am I the only one who thinks this?
2	manwhonose	44 _3rd
A horribly uneven, badly written, abominably edited total and utter mess. The disservice this turkey of a film does to the undeniably talented cast verges on the criminal. The good ideas here, of which there are lamentably few, never come close to being fully explored, which is a crying shame, seeing that the ideas which do see the light of day are half-baked and nonsense.
2	LookJabba...	6 _41st
Suicide Squad promised to be one of the most entertaining cinema experiences of 2016. But this is a film of muddled quality. I loved the characters and in particular Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney & Viola Davis give enjoyable performances. And although Jared Leto is misleadingly underused, he offers an original interpretation of the Joker that I can't wait to see more of. However with regards to the narrative, script and editing, this is a problematic mess. But an entertaining mess.
2	snogs	45 _12th
Will Smith plays a virtual reality video game with bad NPC dialog and arcade cabinet visuals.
2	PluggedIN	40 _35th
Suicide Squad is a visual spectacle for spectacle's sake. It doesn't really know what it wants to say. It only wants to make a lot of noise and take in a lot of money--which makes it a lot like its characters. (pluggedin.com)
2	christof	27 _5th
Margot Robbie's comedic timing helped this film become 'mostly unwatchable', rather than completely unwatchable. Overall: just dire.

2	philamental	35 _6th
It's not quite a train wreck but this is a dreadful waste of huge potential. The character design was almost entirely horrendous in this day and age rivalling schumacher era Batman in terms of 'getting it all wrong'. Then how do you create a team of super villains and make their time together boring? And since when was the Joker, one of the most iconic villains of all time simply an annoying douche? The sound track sucks, the dialogue sucks, this is just a bad bad movie.
2	Lonewolf2003	30 _1st
I was surprised by how unfunny grim boring and stupid this was. The concept of an taskforce of supervillains is cool, but the execution of it is all fucked up. Because it's turned PG-13 correctness all the edge that such a movie could have to distinguish itself from the standaard superhero fare is taken out of it. Most of the characters contribute nothing The best thing about it is def Margot Robbie as Harley Quin. And Will Smith is pretty okay too. I didn't care much for Jared Leto's Joker.
2	VorpalKitten	80 _59th
Will Smith and Margot Robbie carry this movie on their backs - to the point that I think the second best thing they could have done to improve this otherwise mediocre film is cut half the scenes without those two in them. The major improvement that could have been made was of course doing ANYTHING else with the Joker, this version was terrible. Still, I'm excited at the prospect of a Harley Quinn standalone, so the movie did it's "job".
2	igormachete	46 _7th
Not as horrible as I expected it to be, the only thing I was pissed about was the dumbest villain army design ever. Everything else was just very lazy and none of it made sense whatsoever, but you still can have fun with it. And how can you not love Margot Robbie?
2	HaydenGV	55 _17th
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.
2	theRNGcritic	27 _33rd
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.
2	videoclub	54 _0th
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.
2	hiromiyamoto	69 _22nd
Great fun, albeit completely incoherent fun.
2	trsofree	20 _0th
Another DC blunder that tries to cover up the bad writing and even worse editing with pop songs every thirty seconds.
2	ptravers2	2 _6th
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.
2	dinomite00	10 _11th
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.

This terrible movie doesn't make any sense at all. It is one of the worst things I've ever seen.

Ayer may have only had six weeks to write the script, but that is no excuse for the poorly lit scenes, the godawful acting, unintelligible storyline and almost an hour of exposition.
2	ShitMarquis	1 _8th
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.
1	DMCrimson	68 _14th
1) Viola Davis couldn't have played a more boring character 2) Does the movie really want us to spend time on this Enchantress nonsense? 3) Overplayed radio hits play in the background all the time, incredibly distracting and lazy. 4) One liners so bad and misplaced, it's like a writer was ordered to add funny to the script without deleting a word. 5) How many more terrible movies until WB stops this DC universe nonsense?
1	wayofthegun	30 _3rd
Suicide Squad started losing me after 20 minutes or so. It's all over the place and has virtually zero character development. I think it assumes you're familiar with all of the characters and backstories and then spends the rest of the budget on mediocre CGI and music.
1	yoohoo	20 _1st
An origins story about a team superheroes nobody knows anything about that makes no sense is perfect.
1	Kavu	29 _12th
A few nice looking action sequences and a few decent acting performances can't save this movie from a horrible script and an awful Joker.
1	lrampartl	54 _37th
Really not bad, overall - but I had low expectations. Most of the effects are great, though Robbie's 'accent' is bad, Leto's Joker is painfully awful, and Smith refusing to be not Will Smith was insulting, though still entertaining. Viola Davis was outstanding, and Flagg's character was a bit too hick-y. Jay Hernandez was great, as was Katana and Cap Boomerang.
1	TheDiceman	40 _19th
Jumbled up mess.
1	robsolutely	55 _32nd
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.
1	bizort	40 _16th
It's a very pretty movie. Other than that, there is nothing positive to say other than Margot Robbie is very pretty as well
1	nutcrackr	66 _27th
Whole movie left me feeling quite ambivalent. Delevingne is just weird as the baddie. Leto's joker is meh. All characters are introduced in a really lazy way. There are a couple of laughs at least.
1	PeaceAnarchy	69 _23rd
For a film with a very straight forward plot and very well done sequences of rising action leading to the expected finale it sure feels like a mess. Probably because it can never decide how much it wants to be serious and how much it wants to be dumb fun and ends up not really succeeding at either. All the ideas are half baked, and the action sequences work well, so I know which way I think it should have gone. Smith is great and Robbie is too even if Harley is best in smaller doses. Cara is bad
1	evrana	63 _34th
It is close to be a good movie, but not there really. The "ensemble" is fun overall particularly the Harley Quinn character (even though they overdid it here and there). Will Smith did a good job with such a 2-dimensional character. They would have served themselves better if they stayed away from all the sorcery stuff which made the movie video-gamey; but still I have seen worse superhero movies.DC is trying to get a piece of the "random stuff from the coffers" from Marvel, that is what it is.
1	ivyy	60 _50th
Not good
1	Ross	30 _20th
Harley Quins outfit is amazing and there is some enjoyable joker scenes, but the rest sucks, albeit a little less so than the other DC movies.
1	andayb	20 _4th
there's only one decent thing about shitsquad, and that's margot's accurate portrayal of harley quinn. the rest is just a hodge podge of terrible one liners, laughable make up and cringeworthy usage of a soundtrack. If this is the DC universe, singularity can't come soon enough.
1	whatismyname	50 _20th
Just a smorgasbord of ideas flunk against the wall, whatever stuck to the wall, they put into the film. It's unfortunate almost every DC film doesn't live up to the standards Marvel has reached.

okay
1	TheRealJ-Ro	70 _42nd
To me, a classic case of expectations vs. reality. I expected things, I got some of them, I didn't get a lot of others. That doesn't mean that what I got wasn't good, just different. Time to admit my bias, my near-genetic disposition to liking comic book movies. You are totally allowed to not like this movie - I too feel that there are a lot of missed opportunities, especially with the Harley-Joker relationship and with Joker himself. But there's time. Tons of it. Body of work, folks. See it.
1	eric-jan	65 _30th
I really dont understand the hating on this movie. It has some sweet action and an OK plot. What's wrong with that? :D What were you expecting? Some kind of masterpiece? If I could pick to be one of them, I'd pick the flame guy for sure :D
1	Kortee	79 _89th
It's just fun to watch, rly. I agree with the majority though, Ayer's choices for the cast were pretty obvious and absolute crowd pleaser (Cara Delevingne is not an actress and ppl have to stop treating her like she is). But I have to say one thing for Will Smith - he's the only black guy I know, who manages to stay alive in these kind of movies.
1	psim	23 _1st
Makes a strong argument that maybe movie franchises were a mistake.
1	chemtrails	70 _71st

1	Honest_Thief	3 _31st
A botchjob edit of a solid movie that seems to have lost 20 mins from the film reel. Despite that, the makings of a good flick with a great sense of style and grit are there and it's still good fun; as much as a movie about a covert blackops group of tortured civilians can be.
1	roofs_runner	60 _22nd
Some good acting and style. Useless story, zero logic.
1	Cinema_Asia	70 _56th
Ayers shot this more like a feature film length music video. The whole setup is a "day gone wrong" in the suicide squad which is plot light but action setpiece heavy. Critics are unfairly panning what is a fairly raw and entertaining ensemble piece. We don't need mile a minute snark or contrived political thrillers in every superhero film. This is quirky in its own right as a big budget B movie. Will Smith, Robbie, and surprisingly Leto does a decent job in his turn as the Joker. It's not bad.
1	Wolfwoode	30 _8th
Interesting premise executed horribly. It looks like it was edited by a a group of toddlers with ADHD.
1	Talvitie	65 _41st
Some of those characters were made great, but then The Joker... After Nicholson there haven't been a great live action Joker. Jared Leto is more like a goon than the man. Then Deadshot is a likeable family man... Come on! Then this story... Well if you want to have a great story, watch the cartoon version "Batman: Assault on Arkham" instead.

This film takes an original, interesting premise and squanders it. If the script was better this could have been a really good anti-super hero film. The actors do a good job with their roles but unfortunately the script falls apart in the final third of the movie.
1	sabysims	58 _3rd
Awful.. fell asleep twice... Sith.. Robbie and Letto were ok... but thats it... looks like a Chris Nolan crapfest
1	eCitizen	60 _59th
Margot Robbie steals the show as the bad girl villain. Way over the top, but works on several levels, even with the kooky story line. All hope lies with the bad guys seems like a bad choice. The action is intense at times and the dialog and plot keeps it interesting. But, they stepped pretty far over the edge at times. Worth watching. Entertaining and sort of a guilty pleasure.
1	JLFM	28 _4th
Slightly less dull than Man of Steel and Batman v Superman (and a solid half hour shorter than either), and Margot Robbie does quite well with what she’s given. Otherwise, Suicide Squad is just as insufferably eye-rolling, incomprehensible, and totally pointless as its DCEU predecessors. Its attempts at shocking darkness and quirky humor (when not delivered by Robbie) are cringe inducing.
1	hotsake	60 _51st
IDK what I was expecting but this movie was...OKay. Jared Leto sucked as the Joker as I predicted, Margot's Harley Quinn was no where near as good as the animated version from back in the day, Will Smith tried hard but wasn't given much aside from horrible dialogue. All the rest were meh to bad. The villains and I mean all of them were pretty lame as far as what they could do and why use such lesser characters in the first place. The beginning tries hard to be Deadpool meets The Dark Knight meet
1	Bagarbjorne	50 _9th
There are some good scenes, but it's just so incoherent :( Fingers crossed for a directors cut later that actually makes sense?
1	sopachuco13	70 _36th
I liked this version of the Suicide Squad. It isn't perfect but I found it to be a lot of fun. The story is on par with the Marvel universe's big blockbusters. The movie had heart where it needed to and it had huge action scenes where those needed to be. My only gripe would be that I wished that they had gone into how Enchantress was able to get away from Waller and her brother was able to keep her safe. The acting is good. Smith, Robbie, and Delevingne are all good. Davis is perfect.
1	PUNQ	50 _77th
Not going to slaughter Suicide Squad. For me it's just another alright action movie in a year where all blockbusters seems to be just alright regardless of the spectacle they bring. Something was definitely off. Suicide Squad is filled with cool, but a cool not legitimately delivery. There are so many characters being introduced they do this by dumbing them down all reduced to caricature catchphrases. The action is good. A lot of it entertaining in that brain dead Hollywood madness kind of way.

Better that BvS;Dawn of Justice but that's not saying much;SS is film that doesn't know what it's doing half the time and the other half, it changes half way through for no reason. Will Smith and Margot Robbie both put in very good performances as Deadshot and Harley Quinn; Jared Leto's Joker is barely in the film and the bits he is in,he not much of a presence. Viola Davis is great as Amanda Waller. This was supposed to be D.C.'s home run after the dismal&dour BvS, it's only a so-so film.
1	patman	53 _29th
Fascinating characters but you'll quickly lose interest due to the choppy editing and a thin plot.
1	hte624	79 _49th
As a Joker fan, without a doubt the worst Joker I've ever seen. Otherwise, a cute thing for people familiar with the universe - Harley and Deadshot, especially, are real cute, and I loved what they did with Killer Croc and Diablo. Not an award winner, but okay if you're in the mood for something stupid.
1	Cevendust	70 _45th
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.
1	jay545	75 _51st
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.

There is one AWESOME moment near the end, but unfortunately it will be lost on you if you do not know some Mexican history or understand Spanish (Mexican slang, at that). The rest of the movie is pretty bad.

As a non DC Fanboy, I sorta enjoyed it. Although it fell flat with its editing. The movie itself is very entertaining, but at times it can be a bit ADHD, particularly at the start. I also feel as though the film could have benefited from less characters, as there are so many and we hardly got an introduction to any of them. The acting was particularly good from Robbie, I also enjoyed Smith, among others. I'm not a fan of the gangster Joker, but Leto's performance was fine.

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.

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.

Killjoy. the villains at times are cringey and just not enjoyable to watch. Campy at times and the dialogue is sub-par. Joker is woefully underwhelming. only thing great here is harlequinn and thats not just because shes smokin hot... shes entertaining to watch, or at least the most entertaining out of all of them.

Should have just been a Will Smith-Margot Robbie movie

A laughable comic-book porn with are-you-kidding-me?! storyline, a villain as bad as Poison Ivy (she DANCES to keep a portal open), bad acting from all the cast except Margot Robbie, boring action sequences and bad VFX

But Will Smith...

It tried to be Guardians of the Galaxy, and it missed. With a less stellar cast, it would be thoroughly unwatchable.

Stupid plot. Awful characters. Jarringly bad editing. Cringe-inducing dialogue. Just, why?

Suicide Squad is a massive lost opportunity. The cast is well chosen. Aside from Joel Kinnaman. They all do fine with what they are given. Aside from Joel Kinnaman. It's simply a poorly written and directed film that despite the buildup and marketing, brought nothing new to the table. Maybe Jared Leto could make a good Joker in some project down the line, but this was not it.

"This is Katana, her sword traps the souls of her victims. They are forced to watch Suicide Squad for all eternity." - A real quote from this movie

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.

Suicide.

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.

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??

Well, this movie certainly sucks. It's not without some positives, some of the characters are pretty good. This one positive can't outdo the fact that the first act of this is an utter disaster, the second act a generic, meandering mess, and the final act the kind of stupidity I've come to expect from anything with a DC logo.

It's lazy. The cinematography is lazy. The soundtrack is lazy. The script and its 45 minutes of expository character development is lazy. Its quirks can be charming when they time it right, but... Jesus, this movie isn't worth it.
