Oddly enough IMDB has it at 9.2 from 5000+ user reviews.

Although reading some reviews I don't know how the user scored it 9 or 10, saying things like although the plot is bad and pacing is off, it's not worth taking away points.

IMDB is a cespool of trolls and fanboys so no one should use the user score on that site as basis for a film's quality. NO ONE. Like many people have said, just watch a film for yourself and judge it yourself.

Too bad. I love HQ.

Still gonna watch it of course. Hapefully they didn't ruin HQ like they did Batgirl.

ehrm I disagree entirely.

I was pretty excited for Batman v Superman originally but then the reviews (rightfully so) hammered it (I've watched enough clips online to know they were somewhat spot on).

Suicide Squad is probably my most anticipated film for this summer and while I probably WILL still see it, the reviews being this poor certainly are something that makes me second guess doing so. 

I will point out that a lot of people originally excited for this film I think were hoping for a DARK 'superhero' movie with an R rating. The trailers give off that vibe. So I can't help but wonder if things were cut and left on the drawing board to get the PG-13.

maybe the 13 rating was done a long time ago, but I hadn't noticed. 

I would argue though that ratings are possibly MORE important for people excited for a film these days when trailers can be so misleading. I mean you just can't trust a good trailer and your own hype sometimes. the studios are sneaky

For me it was the opposite with BvS, heard it was trash and when I saw it I was surprised because sure it has flaws but it wasn't nearly as bad as some reviews said.

Perhaps you are right about the rating, after all when the R-rated extended version of BvS was released a lot of people changed their mind about the movie. Maybe suicide squad will have a R-rated extended version as well.



                                                                                     

what? the same reviewers that somehow found the new ghost busters funny and scary?

yeah, I think I'm good to watch this one thank you :)



I told them they should go for a all female cast and Paul Feig as director, it would be a sure win.

David Ayer directing. Will Smith staring. Jai Courtney also staring. Cara whatever her name as eye candy. Who in their right mind expected this to be good???

Nothing to do with DC hate, this movie just had no relent surrounding it.

Who are the girls eating pizza? A band of some sorte or just models?

Ofc, based on what i have seen from this movie, they tried way to hard to be flashy, which is a indicator of two things:
1: sucks.
2: great.
Over the top movies usually are either epic or it will fail out the gate. Sometimes having to much of something and way less in anything else is a typical human errors of life

Maybe Marvel should buy DC ;).

Rumor has it that they decided to change the movie and add more stuff after the poor reception of BvS. I wonder if this made the film better or worse. I like Marvel films well enough but I hope DC doesn't try to become them. Even if DC's films aren't as well received, they don't need to emulate dat Marvel style.
