John Cena had me laughing a few times, he's got that Dave Bautista as drax type humor down.

When he chops that guy who's just sleeping had me busting up laughing

So much better than the first installment and that birds of prey
Removing will smith and jai Courtney helped too

Just finished and loved it, easily one of DC’s best imo. Funny throughout and gave me some serious Deadpool vibes. Hard to really name a single stand out, there were honestly a few. I’d love to see several of these characters, and James Gunn, back in the fold.

I was laughing the whole time but the weasel bit really popped me, so unexpected.

It was fine if you just want to turn your brain off for a couple hours. Dumb summer movie fun.

Avengers with cuss words.

I dunno. I wasn’t too impressed with it. It’s a B- for me.

It seemed a lot like they were pressing too hard with the violence. It became more meaningful at the climax, which is what you want, though.

Don’t get me wrong. I know what I’m getting into with a Suicide Squad movie. I get that there’s violence. I just don’t really get why the director thinks I should revel in it as a viewer or think it’s funny and flip. Violence ordinarily has gravity. When it doesn’t, nothing else does either.

I feel like I watched a different movie than everyone else in this thread. The only thought could be is compared to the rest of the DCEU, it was decent.

Tries too hard to be deadpool with the jokes. It uses a dated villain mode that isn't helped by cgi.

My daughter laughed the whole time and I normally enjoy 14 year old teenager jokes, but it was just forced from the start.

lol what? 2 of the villains are humans and the other is a gigantic arse pink and blue starfish. How the hell do you expect them to film that?

This was Gunn with no limits. And it was glorious.

I get the appeal of why he would want to do something like this. No way marvel let’s him pull some crazy shite like this.

Exactly...and Starro was lame as hell..thats what corto maltese was gonna use to destroy USA, China, and Russia??!

Got killed by a stab to the eye and some rats.
Bahahahaa

I liked it but didn't love it. Certainly much better that the first. There was parts that dragged a little which took me out of the moment.

Idris Elba was fantastic. He reminding me very much of Billy Butcher right down to the voice and brooding.

I thought Harley Quinn was going to be over exposed but I really thought she nailed it.

The Millennial was hilarious. I have a 24 year old daughter and her mannerisms were something I could relate too.

I hade to pinch my nose with John Xina but he did a good job.

It's not a film I'll be re-watching over and over but it was fun.

The Starfish was something you would see in a Doctor Who Episode. Very Cheezy. But the movie is cheezy.
