Okay I just got back from seeing the movie twice. Was it the best movie ever I was expecting it to be? Naw, not quite, but it's a ****ing great movie. I don't understand how so many people are hating it. I went to the theater optimistic and I came back satisfied. Maybe if you go in the movie already hating it, you're not gonna like it. I spoiler tagged my deeper thoughts about the movie.
Okay first of all, it's not as funny as the trailers made it out to be, it's a dark movie with some funny stuff sprinkled around.
Margot Robbie was the perfect Harley! We even got to see her in the classic jester costume for few seconds. Definitely picking up that hot toys figure if they make it. Would go well with the tuxedo Joker.
Jared Leto's Joker was ****ing amazing. I liked Heath's Joker but I absolutely ****ing love Leto's Joker. He had very little to do in this movie but that didn't actually bother me, obviously they cut a bunch of Joker & Harley scenes to not make the flashbacks drag on for too long. I liked the fact that Joker and Harley are actually in love, and Joker isn't abusive towards Harley in this movie. They seem like a gangster couple. I could talk about the Joker all night, but I really loved Joker in this film.
Will Smith was good. I don't know what to say about him, he is pretty much the main character of the movie. He had a cool hero moment when he was on top of a car shooting the creatures, while everybody else watched him take the all the remaining creatures out. I liked the story arc between Deadshot and his daughter.
Jai Courtney as Boomerang was my third favorite character in the film behind Joker and Harley. He was funny but sadly didn't really have much to do in the film but be a side character and make a few jokes. I liked the Flash cameo when Boomerang got taken in by Flash.
Batman is in the movie for like 2 minutes. Bruce Wayne is in the end credits talking to Amanda Waller and Waller gives him the files of Aquaman and Flash and Enchantress. Obviously leading up to the Justice League. Don't know why Enchantress was in the files as well, maybe leading up to Justice League Dark?
Everyone was good in the movie, although the weakest link was Cara's Enchantress in her "final" form, she was kind of over the top with her facial expressions and ****. Her brother was kind of half-assed as well but nothing worth complaining about.
The movie has some slight pacing issues, with the first like 20-30 minutes spent of introducing the characters by flashbacks as Waller talks to the military guys at the restaurant. It slows down in the second act, but I don't have a problem with the pacing at all.
I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'll post more of my thoughts if I remember something interesting.
I would give Suicide Squad 9/10. It was even better the second time. SS isn't my number 1 best movie ever I was expecting it to be but it deserves a spot on my top 10 favorite films list.
Growing up with comic from the 80-90s, infinity gauntlet / thanos was huge. Not on a joker level famous, but in terms of power he pretty much beat everyone, and is a big deal.
"If you know someone you really can't stand - not someone you dislike, not someone who rubs you the wrong way, but someone you really loathe and detest - send that person a ticket for "Suicide Squad.""
It might not be the best comic book movie ever but surely it can't be THAT bad.

If it was "****ing great" then it wouldn't be getting destroyed by nearly every critic in the business and most of those same critics were right on point with how I felt about MoS and BvS.
But you're entitled to your own opinion
All the trailers I've seen are cringe worthy, just like the character designs. I'll watch it eventually for free just because I enjoy DC comics but I have zero expectations.
So by the sounds of things all of DC and WB interference has only managed to ruin the DC movie-verse after greatly destroying the DC tv-verse. They virtually destroyed Arrow, have crippled the Flash and given us a greatly weakened Legends of Tomorrow in the name of a better movie-verse....absolutely ****ing idiotic.
Ive heard critics say the movie SS isn't a patch on the SS in Arrow, I don't know whether that's true but if it has any value it's a damning condemnation of the DCEU.

Thanks for the review. Based on it I'm thinking I'll probably place the movie in a 7ish/10 scale but probably end up liking it more than BvS. At least it doesn't seem to have the huge swaths of rampant and widespread cataclysmic destruction MOS/BvS and Xmen have....
That's good news. All the forced humor stuff was what I had a problem with. WB shoulda just let Ayer go full R on this. I understand they were banking on a big blockbuster but they may have set their hopes a little too high. It probably would have been more successful as a smaller scale, gritty action movie aimed at adults.
I'd be at the theater day one to see something like that.
I liked it when I saw it in the theaters but I've since seen it 3 times and each time it gets worse (that's why I said it was good when it came out). I'm not really a fan of any of the Nolan Batmans. They were all good the first time but I don't really like any of them anymore. No, not even TDK.
