As you will nearly definitely know by now, the ‘ Suicide Squad’ reviews have not been kind.
According to a new report, there was a lot of drama behind the scenes during the production of Suicide Squad as director David Ayer and Warner Bros. executives struggled to settle on the tone of the film.
Many comic-to-movie fans have been anticipating the release of “Suicide Squad”, the Warner Bros. film that brings together a group of highly unsafe DC villains for an equally risky mission, but many got upset at the negative reviews given by film reviewers following the premiere on Monday, Aug. 1. “Will they escape? Will they end up dead? – you don’t know”. As of publication, it has 15,577 supporters, which beats the initial goal of getting 15,000 people on board.
The reviews have led to a poor rating of 34 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes for the Warner Bros. movie.
Fans can decide for themselves with “Suicide Squad” now out in cinemas across Australia.
Vanity Fair said the movie is ‘bad.
Ayer defended the movie, quoting Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata’s famous line translated as “I’d rather die standing than live on my knees”.
The phrase gained currency past year with the Islamist murder of 12 staff members of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, whose slain editor Stephane Charbonnier had used it in an interview with Le Monde.
“I love the movie and believe in it”, Ayer wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.
Delevingne added that while “this movie isn’t ideal”, it was made for the fans. Best experience of my life (sic)’. Enchantress converts soldiers into CGI-lookin’ henchmen who are easily dispatched by the Suicide Squad, while her brother Incubus (Robin Atkin Downes) unleashes special effects fury on Midway City.

Like its predecessor Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the DC Comics adaptation has received less-than-stellar early reviews, including one from Variety’s Peter Debruge.
