Critics Consensus

Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren't enough to save the disappointing end result from a muddled plot, thinly written characters, and choppy directing.

DC Comics' latest addition to their burgeoning cinematic universe fails in several rather spectacular ways.

For all its cast and crew's inglorious chest-thumping, Suicide Squad is a failed, forced exercise in - of all things! you had one job! - ensemble chemistry.

Based on the screening I attended, I can attest that audiences seemed to genuinely enjoy the jokes and get swept up in the action sequences.

Suicide Squad isn't offensive or scandalous: its problem is simpler and more obvious. It fails, shot by shot, to become the film it promises from its very premise. [Full review in Spanish]

“Suicide Squad” is a case of two hemispheres of tone and purpose that become problematic in cohesion and comprehension.

While it's not a perfect movie, it has style, it's cool, and it's fun. All things that Man of Steel did not have. It's been done better since, but still, introducing a group of bad mf's with cool abilities always just feels great to watch.

Since I don't know any of the characters it was confusing. The stunts, music & special effects were good.

Cant believe Im giving over 1 star, especially with the whole non human entity stupidity But I have to give it to the cast, Harley and Deadshot, as well as Killer Croc, phenomenal performances even tho Killer Croc was CGI Other cast members were pretty good, definitely not Jared Leto’s act But the story wasn’t really the best as good as Harley Quinn was Also the movie wasn’t fully boring it was kind of entertaining But the movie was overall a good idea other then the non human entity, just not done well Good idea, bad movie 1.5 Stars generously
