What they delivered was decidedly not that. Suicide Squad is a Warner Bros.

In the wake of Superman’s death, a squad of expendable criminals is assembled by the mysterious Amanda Waller (Davis) to take on monsters or an assortment of super-powered metahumans or die trying. Challenge, Multiplayer and Survivor mode have also been updated with exclusive Suicide Squad rewards including new companion cards. But the film does that. Also, with that tagline “bad vs evil”, it made no sense to try and humanise the characters to suggest their circumstances led them to that point. Jai Courtney is entertaining as Boomerang, the obvious comic relief, while Jay Hernandez brings a surprising amount of depth to El Diablo. She’s the iron hand keeping everyone on the team in line, along with Joel Kinneman’s Rick Flag. Now, “Suicide Squad” has already taken its place. Will Smith’s Deadshot is a professional assassin really enjoys killing people for money, but also loves his young daughter very much. The result is more wishy-washy. There’s so much that we shot that’s not in the film.
Ultimately, it’s not worth the $15 to see the movie in the theater. Let the Suicide Squad stand alone. The first is the chemistry between the cast.
“We worked hard, tried to give the fans what they wanted…” Some of the scenes of the cast just having fun with each other are fun. He did not start attacking people until they provoked him. Word-of-mouth plays a large part, not to mention poor critical reviews and, as it was with Batman v Superman, the drop to the second weekend could be a deciding factor in Suicide Squad’s fate.
Margot Robbie owns Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn.
Leto has fun with The Joker role, but this is not his film. He’s awful. He doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the movie, coming across like he wasn’t directed at all.
In the film, she’s the kind of character who cackles gleefully after surviving a harrowing helicopter crash, and coyly asks “What?!” after changing into some skintight hot trousers in front of dozens of men. But those ten minutes are agonizing. I think that the Joker… we did a lot of experimentation on the set, we explored a lot. An ancient sorceress called the Enchantress. Die-hard comic book fans might be happy to see some of their favorite villains come to life on the silver screen, but the storyline lacks in execution and David Ayer’s directing comes across as juvenile at times.
Ayer’s film needed to be PG-13, though.
Perhaps that’s because of studio interference in the editing room. We learn more about their history, and see some great interactions between the characters. Suicide Squad isn’t good.
