The film also has a powerful soundtrack and a higher level of humor than previous DC films. Robbie pulls it off, but Ayer spoils the movie’s breakout character by continually reducing her to mere eye candy, ogling her as she bends over. Several other characters – way too many, actually, fill out the squad, serving mostly as bit players.

Riding the trend is David Ayer’s day-glo superhero circus “Suicide Squad”, a gleefully nihilistic, abysmally messy romp that delights in upending the genre’s conventions and tries desperately to, like, totally blow your mind with its outre freak show. A veritable “Suicide Squad”, if you will.

Setting up the back stories turns the first 30 minutes into a plodding endurance test of explanatory material.
Thousands of people lined Yonge Street to catch a glimpse of the Batman riding atop the Joker’s auto, or headed to the financial district to take photos of an epic crash involving a helicopter and a bus. However what we got was rather shoehorned, and extremely short lived.
– After months of online hype that threatened to bring the internet to its knees, Jared Leto’s Joker (while somewhat creepy and menacing) doesn’t come close to scraping the surface of the memorably spine-chilling work done by Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight”. If the humour hadn’t of been so dry then I think more people would enjoy it. I’d compare it to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
In the film, Enchantress is played by Cara Delevingne, who has used the increased exposure from Suicide Squad to speak out about teenage depression. The score was nearly nonexistent, or it just wasn’t good enough to notice. Rather than allowing supervillains to go to waste behind bars, she proposes tapping into their talents for the common good.
Some of the characters could have held the spotlight more, but in the end everyone got a good amount of screen time.

We’re now arguing over which movie is better between the two first entries in DC’s cinematic universe. The fans argue that the site has “unjust bad reviews that affect people’s opinion even if it’s a great movie”. Instead, Snyder shot this moment in London, presumably on the set of ‘Justice League’.
