After hearing how many people saying how bad and dissapointing it was Im glad to say I do not agree. I had blast watching it. In fact it was the most fun I had watching a film in a while. I thought Will Smith and Margot Robbie were great. It was entertaining from begining to end and lots of good action as well. My only complaint is the Joker. Not to fond of Letos version. I will take Ledger or Nicholson any day thanks. 9/10 from me. What did you all think? I thought it was a right mess but i liked the characters in it which kept it entertaining. I liked Leto's Joker.. maybe my favourite film joker but they did not use him enough or very well. 6/10

DSDSquaredill say this... is it a movie you would re-watch or not? i say that because that's what ultimately makes or breaks movies in the long term for me as anything i will re-watch cannot score below a 6/10(a mild Thumbs Up) and anything i won't re-watch cannot score above a 5/10(Thumbs Down). but ill say while a 5/10 is ultimately a Thumbs Down from me most of those are decent enough to have seen once or not wasted my time. i gave Suicide Squad a 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up) (for measure... only 199 movies managed to score a 7 or higher from me out of the 2,025+ total movies i have seen). also, i don't think the villains were horrible or anything but that they were a bit underused, primarily Leto's Joker. but i think at the end of the day the core on whether the movie works or not for a person is how much they get into Will Smith/Margot Robbie's characters as that's the films strength quite easily in my mind. but outside of those two along with Leto's Joker i think the villain(s) are mostly forgettable. p.s. but i have only seen the movie once so far but ill be seeing it again before this year is finished to see how it holds up as if it does not hold up my score will be lowered accordingly. Yeah, i agree with you here as some people hand out super high scores fairly commonly and in my mind there is a very limited amount of movies that stand out. in fact, there is not a single super hero movie i score above 6-6.5/10 nowadays. in the past some scored higher but i think it's just difficult for those kinds of movies to interest me on a higher level for a while now. still, anything in the 6-6.5/10 range makes it within my Top 243 movies and Man of Steel (2013) is the only super hero movie in that range or higher for me currently. but i think Wonder Woman (2017) has a decent shot at achieving a 6-6.5/10 from me as given what i have seen in Batman v Superman and the trailers i would say it's likely ill give it either a 6/10 or a 6-6.5/10. @homergreg Yeah, but in terms of story i don't really pay too much attention to that aspect given it's a super hero movie (which are all mostly the same-ish) as it's mostly about the characters in whether they work or not, at least in my mind. so they just come up with some serviceable story and then it's all about the characters and their interaction and the world they are in etc in whether the overall movie works or not for me.

I thought it wasn't too bad as many made it out to be, but I did found it to be a mediocre movie overall. Will Smith's and Margot Robbie's characters were the best part about that movie, especially their backstories. The Batfleck cameos were good. I also liked some of the other characters in the ensemble. I thought Leto's Joker was so-so and found Enchantress to be the worst character (or actress) in the movie. Some parts were fun to watch while other parts felt too uneven, like some editing and pacing issues (the movie had last minute studio interference). And the story felt weak in places. So 6/10. Two points higher than how I would rate the latest Ghostbusters. I hated the Ghostbusters redo. Ghostbusters is a film that should have been left alone. Oh, I agree with you and generally kinda feel this way about a lot of remakes myself. That movie was very underwhelming for me. Not completely terrible for me, I guess, since it has its moments, but it's still not really good either. Calling it mediocre at best would've been a little too generous on my part. A lot just felt too contrived for a Ghostbusters movie.

I wasn't a fan of Suicide Squad at all. I saw it in theaters with my sister simply because we were excited to see Harley Quinn on the big screen. That is basically the only enjoyment we got from the film. Will Smith was good in it though as he was pretty much giving a Will Smith performance we all know well. The rest? Just wow it was a mess with bad writing, horrible acting, and characters that didn't really need to be there, plus some bad CGI.
Pros: - Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn - Will Smith being Will Smith - Viola Davis
Cons: - Anything involving Cara Delevingne sorry but she's a shit actress - Joel Kinnaman "THIS IS KATANA SHE'S GOT MY BACK! I WOULDN'T ADVISE GETTING KILLED BY HER! HER SWORD TRAPS THE SOULS OF IT'S VICTIMS!" "WE'VE GOT TO CUT HER HEART OUT!" Examples here of bad writing and bad acting from him. - Jared Leto's Joker was just awful and I don't want to ever see it again - Early on the film had a MTV music video vibe to it - The CGI brother dude I thought looked horrible - The CGI faceless raisins that were running around were lame - Another sky beam - Katana serving no purpose other than to have a sword to cut Enchantress' heart out. You could of easily cut her out of the film entirely and Joel could of had a knife or some sharp object on him.
In the end I gave it a 4/10 as I at least want more Harley Quinn so there was SOMETHING they gave me that I wanted more of. I liked it better than Batman V Superman though that's for sure.

Robbie and Smith were watchable but the whole thing seemed more pre-occupied with selling a soundtrack.
