To quote Doc Brown, "What in the name of Sir Issac H. Newton happened here?" Suicide Squad, is a disaster. Plain and simple. While the characters are the strength here, David Ayer, and the screenplay let them down. Will Smith, is great as Deadshot. Margot Robbie is good as Harley Quinn. What little we see of Jared Leto's Joker is fun. Even Jai Courtney is good as Captain Boomerang. The problem lies with the execution. From horrible lines of dialogue, to a ghost of a script, to an awful finale, to downright goofy performances, Suicide Squad limps the DCEU forward. The charismatic presence of Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and the rest of the cast, barely save this monumental disaster of a film. Suicide Squad, has the stink of a bad 90's comic book film, including Warner Bros. own Batman & Robin, all over the place. After taking a hit with Batman v. Superman, DC and Warner Bros. have some work to do. And I liked Batman v. Superman. I enjoyed the theatrical release, but I highly recommend the extended cut. Suicide Squad is a tough pill to swallow, and makes Batman v. Superman look like Citizen Kane.
