Let me start this review by saying that I had high hopes for this movie (I don't really know why either). This film had a strange change in marketing as it got closer to the release which made me feel uneasy going in. Another thing that made me feel this way was the extensive reshoots. But still I went in open minded. Let me start out with what I liked. I enjoyed the soundtrack (outside of the movie) I will return to this subject in the bad. I also enjoyed some of the very brief moments between the squad that actually showed character. Now for the bad. #1-The soundtrack: the music tried to do all the heavy lifting that the script and the direction should've been doing. It tried way to hard to tell you how to feel. #2-The plot: the plot in the film is so thin that you can barely say there is a plot. It is also needlessly simple. #3-Film Structure: The Movie doesn't really have scenes. Sure it has the opening montage but that's what the movie ultimately is, a series of montages. There's a very long extended "scene" which is ultimately just the last three quarters of the movie when they're in the city. #4-Characters: the characters are not the characters we know and love. They are extremely misguided and the dialogue is so bad that it comes off almost as a spoof of these characters. They hired great talent such as Jared Leto who is surprising horrible in this movie. He is given nothing to do and you can tell in his performance how little help they gave him. Harley Quinn is also an issue. Margot Robbie is a great talent but she ultimately resorts to saying unfunny jokes and supplying the movie with endless shots of her butt. These great characters are stripped of everything that made them great to be one dimensional time wasters. #5-David Ayer: I feel like when David Ayer tries he can achieve greatness (Training Day, End Of Watch, Fury) but unfortunately he is so tired and unimaginative as a writer and a sleepwalker as a director now so he produces hot garbage. #6-Editing: The Editing In this movie is so jarring. It will randomly have Instagram video edit editing (if that makes sense) where there will Be neon colors on screen for no reason. Also the film has a tone problem. The movie was clearly heavily re-edited in post production. Basically how I feel is that maybe with a different writer & Director and without studio interference this could've been a great movie. However this is once again another dud for DC. When I write this don't think that I am some Marvel fanboy. I am not stranger to ripping one apart. I just enjoy watching good films and I don't settle for mediocrity. This is yet another example of when good source material goes bad.

FORGET all the silly way over the top Hate this movie has gotten as it's NO WHERE near as bad as it's made out to be!!! First of it's a really fun action packed really good looking blockbuster movie!!! You can pick bits apart i get that & it may not be absolutely perfect but no movie is these days because everyone picks films apart so much that no one just sits back & enjoys the fun entertainment especially with a movie like this, SUICIDE SQUAD is big flashy Cool entertainment & i loved it & have watched it so many times it's become one of my favourite movies!!! There's so many great scenes & moments that make this so special, i TOTALLY adore this movie & love all the characters but especially DEADSHOT he's fantastic!!! The movie looks fantastic & the characters are just so cool especially DEADSHOT he is AWESOME & WILL SMITH gives a perfect performance as this hitman with a heart & troubled mind, really he's the heart & soul of the movie (along with Diablo) & is so good at grounding all this fantasy with some grit & heart!!! So SMITH is BRILLIANT!!! also Margot Robbie is BRILLIANT as the crazy but fun Harley Quinn she is a fantastic actress & completely becomes the character to perfection!!! & all the others characters are absolutely fine & work well together especially DIABLO played perfectly by JAY HERNANDEZ a great performance & really the heart of the squad a big mention to WILL & MARGO again though because they really steal the show more on a deeper level with lots of emotional moments that are great, the villain is also great, people hated enchantress but i loved the demonic ancient witch she was so cool & visually Awesome to see plus the city scenes look beautiful almost Escape from NY awesome!!! So yeah one hell of a good ride with great music throughout & an exciting atmosphere so i don't get all the hate at all? But hey we all have our own opinions!!! I had NEVER heard of suicide squad until this movie or the BRILLIANT deadshot so I'm not a fan boy maybe that's why i loved it as i took it completely for what it was? I thank this excellent film for introducing me to these characters especially DEADSHOT my favourite & thank you WILL SMITH for your great performance!!! Great film just enjoy i haven't gone on about the plot or story because loads have in great detail so here i am just honestly telling all i LOVE this movie & it's ridiculously rewatchable & a fantasy Action Thriller & this great fantasy Thriller has a gritty & grimy neon drenched look & the imagery of the empty city is beautiful & very 80s style,BEAUTIFUL cinematography & this film has alot of HEART!!! The music score is Fantastic throughout!! A really well directed film with a great atmosphere & to me it's great to follow WILL SMITH as Dreads on this mission as smith has been a Hero of mine since Fresh Prince

I understand while people didn't really like it but personally I thought it was ok. The chemistry of the cast is pretty good, their backstory is short yet well developed and the jokes are pretty funny. Will Smith and Margot Robbie are lime the breakout stars of this movie. The biggest disappointment is the virtual absence of the Joker. This's a good example of misleading marketing: Many of the trailers depict The Joker as a major character in the movie yet he only makes a handful of appearances in the actual movie. I do agree that the story could've been more developed but all in all it's pretty decent.

In general, it was a meaningless film. The joker character was included in the blank film. However, it had a very simple structure. In general, there was a stupidly designed scenario. Everything in the film was over in a day. However, no character was fully introduced. The film was boring. Harley was the only thing I loved about the film. It's a simple and insignificant film.
