I enjoyed it, not the best movie ever but entertaining while you watch it.

I don't understand why ppl would expect characters to be "fleshed" out in a two hour movie, this is not a a tv show with multiple eps and seasons to do that, its rather dumb to expect that really.

The biggest and only major problem with this movie is that it's not rated R an R rating would have solved most problems. The SS would have seem more needed in an r rated movie cause instead of fighting black bubble wrap zombie things ,they could have just left them as normal lookig ppl being used by the enchantress magic.
The magic being so strong that punching and trying to knock them out didn't work, only killing them worked which would have ruled out the regulars heroes like batman etc being of much use hence you need these bad guys for the job. Also it would have added a much need umph in the action sequences seeing the SS really cut loose.

Personally, I don't need the characters to be fleshed out but I want them to be like their comic book counterpart, have a purpose and a place in the movie and do something. Like Katana and Croc - they did nothing on top of their motivations not being clear. The sheer amount of inconsistencies in the movie baffled me.

To be honest I don't even know why Harley Quinn is even in the movie. Is she supposed to be a trained martial artist?

You really kind have to stretch believability to have her in the group as she has no physical powers whatsoever and isn't really even supposed to be trained to fight as far as I know.

Harley Quinn is in the movie cause she is there in the comics thats the only reason they need.

Thats like asking why is Hawkeye in the avengers and why is he using a stupid bow and arrow and not some gun or other powerful weapon which we have seen shield has, answer he is in the comics and the comics he uses a bow and arrow case closed.

Yeah but even Hawkeye can use a bow & arrow ... Harley Quinn's "ability" is what exactly? Looking sexy? She's there to make a certain section of the comic nerd audience giddy, I get that, but it just does sometimes stretch believability, a 100-pound woman would get ripped in half put into that situation.

Black Widow at least was KGB trained.

I love how everyone treats WB/DC movies as if they were suspecting Oscar nominations.
Everyone's a professional film critic with BvS and Suicide Squad.

So annoying how so many people tore apart BvS and now Suicide Squad. Just go and watch the flick and sit back. It's a dumb comicbook action movie. What the heck were some of you expecting??

The issue is dc fans always said Marvel was juvenile and simplistic.

Thrn we have three films that seemed to made be people who cannot put a simple plot bad dialogue and poor acting from quality actors

So was Civil War, yet that movie is ten times more coherent, smarter and better executed, just because is a movie for entertainment and not for deeper purposes doesn't mean it cannot be good in its genre.

Civil War can be picked apart as easy as BvS.

There was also a pass because "people know the characters" of Iron Man and others. Wich I think is BS this narative that BvS Theatrical Cut dont explain their motivations etc... It was pure hate since Snider joined "Man of Steel". Part of the public/critics can't accept his stile and motives.

I don't remember people asking what were Red Skull motivations. Or complaining Loki plans are convoluted (only Honest Trailers?).

The only time people realy complain about Marvel was in Iron Man 3 and all that Mandarin twist, wich wasn't that bad. And maybe Ultron that was sold as a serious thread but end up being a stupid AI.

Well the issue in Batman vs Superman was that...

Superman had no reason to hate Batman for being a vigilante considering he is a demi God Vigilante...

That level of stupidity in the story shows the talent and effort being put into the DC films.

Watch the theatrical cut - they give a lot of reasons for Superman to want to stop Batman.
