"Suicide Squad is bad. Not fun bad. Not redeemable bad. Not the kind of bad that is the unfortunate result of artists honorably striving for something ambitious and falling short. Suicide Squad is just bad. It’s ugly and boring, a toxic combination that means the film’s highly fetishized violence doesn’t even have the exciting tingle of the wicked or the taboo."
"A puzzlingly confused undertaking that never becomes as cool as it thinks it is, Suicide Squad assembles an all-star team of supervillains and then doesn’t know what to do with them." [Reply]
Metacritic shows mostly mixed. Ill go see it and form my opinion. I saw a reviewer that said he hated bvs but liked this. Most issues I hear are editing...if that's the case DC/WB needs to fix that asap and fire someone. [Reply]

It sounds like this thing was heavily regiggered and edited by committee. I'd bet a lot of money the WB execs were like "Make it more like Guardians of the Galaxy" !!! [Reply]

I'm hearing the editing wasn't good...so j wonder if there is a different cut. That said Geoff Johns took over the movie side and pres of DC after this movie started ...so I have hope. That said the rate critics and RT are neg bombing these movies by wb and dc I almost don't expect any of them going fwd to exceed 60℅. That said I bet I like this movie.
Wonder Woman I have the most hope to get critically acclaimed status like the Marvel movies...we'll see. The movies are def different styles between marvel and DC. [Reply]
Wasn't great but better than I expected. Flawed story, nice visuals, less grim than the two Supes films. Better than the critics are saying. Leto is fine, Smith is bearable, Robbie is okay, almost too many characters crammed in. Second half gets hackneyed, telegraphed plot and typical Big Bad Villian coupled with all powerful beings who forget they're all powerful. Good music (music and visuals very "Sucker Punch" Snyder). I wasn't bored but like "Star Trek" it won't change your world. 3D was good. [Reply]
