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.

The critic reviews and ratings are spot on. The Good: Strong cast, Great visuals + Editing. The Bad: Ho-hum villains, too many characters, weak story. Starts off strong and intriguingly, then becomes numbingly mediocre once the squad's mission starts...a shame really. So much squandered potential. But it was still a box office hit and had a sequel. Director David Ayer reportedly wanted to do a darker cut but there's no point really.

Margot Robbie is the only good Villain here the rest sucks Will Smith is more a superhero then a Villain The story is not so good as it has to be. Killer Croc is so bad looking i hope Birds Of Prey is better...

La película es muy entretenida, y la trama es buena, pero siento que fue algo desaprovechada, sobre todo con el origen de Harley Quinn. Debieron contarlo más. Y claro, lo que le quitó 1 estrella y media a esta gran película es: Jared Letto, como Coringa. No sé si mi problema con este tipo es solo la visual o también la actuación, creo que ambas. La recomiendo para divertirse mucho un rato, Harley Quinn se roba la película y es lo que le da la mayor parte de las estrellas. Deadshot también está muy bueno. Esto quedó muy mal frente a Birds of Prey, que es una obra maestra!

The only good things in this is the show stealing performance by Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot which I found to not be a bad actor choice for the character, and Heathens by the Twenty One Pilots. But as a DC fan and Joker fan this is an absolute disservice to the character and to Heath's acting. Jared Leto is a good actor but this version was/is not it.
