Worst movie I've seen since Batman vs. Superman.

The editing and the pacing of the first reel is pretty choppy. Very Scott Pilgrim in places.

The musical ques come in very hot and heavy. The score is distracting throughout most of the first reel as well.

The tone of the movie is spot-on DC Comics. I don't think that we've had a film that was closer to the DC comic book universe. I can see why the comic book sites gave it a positive review.

There were no bad performances. I wasn't a fan of Croc's persona but it wasn't a deal breaker. I was so excited to see that his appearance worked so perfectly that I gave his personality a pass. They made some odd choices with Enchantress towards the end. She came off sort of Gozer from Ghostbusters here and there.

Will Smith nailed it. Margot Robbie nailed it. Captain Boomerang was fun, Diablo was damn good (loved his fire constructs). Waller was a tad cartoony here and there, but not enough to be a concern.

The added villain was straight out of a B level comic book. Nothing to get excited about, just the type of bad guy that shows up in an issue of Action then you never see them again.

The audience was pretty young and they seemed to enjoy it. People dressed like Harley and Joker. The girls behind us were hoping for a sequel.

You can tell that a lot of the film was movie by committee, but the performances really do salvage the enjoyment level. BvS was confusing and depressing. This film isn't as confusing and isn't depressing at all.

Leto is in a good bit of scenes and works his way into the plot fairly well. When they said his scenes were cut I was afraid he'd be down to a few cameos. But he does well and leaves you wanting a little more.

The cameos were spot on. That's Batman. The other cameo went by too quickly, but was decent.

As a whole it's fun to watch but a missed opportunity. But if Ayers had made his complete dark action drama, people would be bitching that DC went dark again after BvS. It's a decent segue from BvS to Wonder Woman.

It was ok. Definitely didn't live up to the hype. I was disappointed in will smith being cast as deadshot but he ended up being the best part. The plot is about as basic and rushed as it could be

I think the jokers new look was awesome but he didn't have all the little physical quirks ledger did. Did ok with the little screen time he had though

Harley Quinn is fine as frick but gets annoying after awhile. Croc and Diablo are badass and the Asian with the sword seemed out of place

6.5/10

Just got out. That was not a good movie. Enchantress might be the worst villain I've ever seen in a film. I cannot believe that this movie cost almost 200 million to make and the CGI ends up that bad. It was horrendous and completely took me out of the film.

Pros: It's funny, I was concerned about Will Smith being in this movie but he turned out to be one of the only good things about it. Diablo was pretty cool, Kinnaman and Davis were also very solid. That's really it for me. I gave no fricks about anyone else.

Just got out.

Very entertaining. Robbie NAILS Harley Quinn. Smith was solid as Deadshot as well. In fact, everyone was well cast and did well.

Leto's Joker was fine.

Not Citizen Kane, but it wasn't trying to be.

DC has stopped the skid.

Just got out. The only word i can think of to describe this movie is "Forced" bad writing, bad flow, ok chemistry. Overall 4/10. it just wasnt very good.

Also, Jared Leto's Joker was flat out bad, he tried WAYYY too hard

Just got out. It was fun, but nothing special. The slow motion during the climactic fight was very poorly done and came across as lame.

I liked suicide squad. However, I went in expecting a big, fun action movie based on comic books. I left my doctorates in quantum physics, particle science, psychiatry, theology in the car, unbuckled myself from reality and enjoyed a comic book movie. I thought it worked. If we are going to gripe, the character exposition was trite. But, I also didn't want to see a 3 hour movie. I was entertained. It was fun.

Just saw it. Terrible movie. I went in with no expectations and it still blew me away how bad it was. Joker was god awful. Croc was fricking stupid. Harley was annoying. Will smith was playing will smith. I wanted to like it, but I knew better. Green lantern laughs at this movie.

Does it make any sense that I kinda enjoyed it and would watch again, but that I think it was a terrible movie? I guess my love for superhero movies outweighs the actual quality of them.

Just watched it. 8/10. Yet another movie where I'm glad I ignored the criticism.

Second viewing tonight. Enjoyed it much better since I wasn't wincing waiting for the reviews to be correct. The music didn't bother me this time. The ending is still Ghostbusterish but not a deal killer.

My wife and daughter are usually brutally honest with me when they do not like a DC movie. They both loved this movie (neither read any reviews).

I enjoyed the movie.

The small Flash cameo was nice

And Harley, Harley, Harley..I could watch her walk in those shorts for hours.
