Edguy:
The reviews so far are rather polarized. Seems the critiques are split on this one.
Blue Kitty:
Yeah, I'm getting less excited to see it now.
TheEvilDog:
I'm torn about Suicide Squad.
On the one hand, I do like ensemble films like the Dirty Dozen.
But on the other hand, nothing the DCCU has said and/or done has really filled me with any sort of confidence.
BenRG:
Uh oh. After opening reviews, Suicide Squad is getting 35% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Only one viewer review in so far but it is a mediocre 2/5.
(click to show/hide)The big problems appear to be:
* Choppy direction;
* Weak plot and characterisation;
* Overselling Jared Leto's walk-on part as if he were a major character;
* Implicit and explicit mysoginy;
* Fetishisation of gun violence;FWIW, I strongly suspect that the latter two flaws will be positive selling points for the main target demographic (16-24 year-old males). However, DCCU really can't afford too many critical flops. If SS goes belly up then the pressure on Justice League and Wonder Woman to perform will only get stronger with it the risk of heavy-handed executive meddling.
