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 came back from seeing it. Fun movie. Sloppy, but fun. It's definitely the GOTG of the DCEU.

That Joker is boring af

Interesting. I'm waiting to see more detail from the people who hated it so much. Let's hear what you hated about it.

I can't see it till Sunday.

Villain was awful. She is a horrible actress. Leto was forcing too much. Likes most of the squad though. The story sucked. It had some fun parts though. But overall it was not what I was hoping for

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.

Life calls. It's a busy week for me. The wife and I have to work a lot. I'm excited for the day my oldest kid can babysit my younger two.

OK. Cool. That sounds like most of the gripes that other people had. It just weighed more with you to make you hate it. It is good to know that you had some fun. The Joker is definitely a mixed bag, which is kind of disappointing. I hope I like him.

This movie was like if a very bad writer and director and a very good writer and director took turns making each scenes

Every character had moments of brilliance and moments of absolute cringe

Will smith might've had more screen time than he did in I Am Legend. And it works sometimes and then is terrible other times

Croc randomly becomes what an 80 year old white executive at WB thinks black people act like 2-3rds into the movie. He might have well have been wearing blackface

Harley was awesome and held the movie together

The final fight scene was just unwatchable. Could barely make out what was happening

Awful villain that got no real time to develop. We still were doing intros and the world was already ending

Where was the justice league? Why establish that they are active and then just have them sit out on a massive world ending event

Flag was another guy that looked perfect for the part one second, then looked like he's never acted before in his life the next scene

I liked the joker except the metal teeth make him talk kind of retarded

The music was AMAZING. If the movie was as good as the sound track it would be the GOAT

On phone and exhausted so I'll keep it short.

As others have said the villain was horrid.

Once again it felt like they were trying to cram a ton into this movie like bvs.

I will have more coherent thoughts tomorrow as I am still trying to figure out what the frick I just watched.

The same reason that the Avengers don't show up to save the day in every Marvel film. Besides, Batman is the only seriously active one that we know of. Flash doesn't even have a name in this movie.

After seeing Smith and Robbie in Suicide Squad and Shia LaBeouf in Fury, I'm convinced that Ayers has a talent for getting great performances out of mediocre actors.

It wasn't bad, but Jesus Christ the editing sucked and there are a literal shite ton of questions that need answers. I counted at least twice where they changed a scene while a character was still finishing their sentence.

Tanks and apache helicopters can't kill this thing, but a small targeted warhead with very little collateral damage gets the job done?

Waller just blasting FBI agents and everyone else is cool with that.

Austrialian guy hitting on the chick that just cried over her dead husband's soul that's stuck in her weapon of choice.

It was fun, but I wouldn't see it again or rent it. The Joker Harley parts were the best in my humble opinion.

As someone said above, every character had awesome parts, but every character also had parts that made me cringe.

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
