    Bonkers movie
    This movie was pretty good, and certainly better than the 2016 version, but it was just too bonkers to be good. For example the opening scene was straight Into the movie, a bunch of unfamiliar characters (other than Harley and Captain Boomerang) hopping on a Plane and being dropped off on an island. When they arrive on the island, literally everyone dies, apart from Harley. I can't believe they had only two characters returning from the original squad, and one of them died! Sadly it had to be Captain Boomerang. He had barely any screen time in the first movie, so this movie could've been his chance at redemption, but no they just had to kill him off for no reason. I couldn't believe my eyes I thought it must've just been one of the characters dreams or just someone telling a story of what could go wrong, but no they just decided to give this movie one of the worst starts to a movie I've ever seen. Near the end of the movie Peacemaker goes crazy, and kills Rick Flag, and nearly kills Rat-catcher 2. Before he's about to kill Rat-catcher 2, Bloodsport stops him and shoots him in the neck, after Bloodsport and Rat-catcher 2 escape, a big building falls on Peacemaker. Somehow Peacemaker survives all of this because he ends up getting his own tv show (trust me it's not a prequel). I am cringing so hard right now thinking about this.

    Silly but fun
    This movie was silly. I liken it to Tropic Thunder, which I didn't enjoy since I'm not a fan of silly. But for this movie, I was able to stay more aloof due to low expectations and I ended up actually enjoying it.

    To be sure, I skipped past some things - I was warned about the birds, and a lot of the fight sequences were so long and brutal. But surprisingly I could handle the lab scene, which somewhat traumatized someone I know. I just saw it as cheesy, like in the many haunted Halloween tours that featured torture which I've been on.

    The rats, though, were awesome. I had pet rats whom I miss like crazy, so I enjoyed every scene with them. While logically they probably got hurt whenever they came to the rescue, I'm happy to say not one hurt rat was shown. (That was my biggest worry.) And that scene at the end with Sebastian is possibly one of my top favorites scenes of all time.

    Better for one basic reason...
    It isn't written better, or animated better, or stylized better than 2016. That main reason why this one is so much better? No Will Smith. Smith was the worst part of the 2016 version and this just proves it.

    This movie is ridiculous, but in a good way. The action is fast and the storyline is fun. If you don't go into it expecting the movie of the decade, you'll have a good time. Some parts are predictable, but there are some twists and a few unexpected things that come up. The big baddie is over the top and completely silly, but somehow it still works. All in all, a pretty good time. Better than expected, and NO WILL SMITH!!! Woooo!🙌🙌🙌

    The monotony squad
    How to discuss a movie that kills itself? How about the CGI rat has better character development then the lead cast.

    Idris Elba phones in his performance in garbage CGI armor spending the movie doing his best impression of a wet tarp with bored dialog. John Cena stands out for the color of his costume and nothing else. Margot robbie requires you saw the previous attempt at this turd to have any intrest in her as harlequin. The rest of the cast may as well not be there for all their impact.

    Oversaturated lighting and grainy blue light filters make you think something is wrong with your TV. A poorly edited, shot and haphazard script make you think you missed essential plot points that never existed.

    The best parts of this movie is in clips on YouTube. You could cut this movie to 35 min and lose nothing in quality.

    This overrated garbage only looks good compared to the rest of the DC garbage. A comic movie only comical because the joke was on its audience.

    A positive COVID test didn't stop me from liking this
    Legitimately I took a COVID test while watching this movie. This distressing an worrying bit of information did not sour my enjoyment of this very entertaining movie.

    The first approximately 20 minutes of this movie are perfect and my favourite movie opening ever. We open on Savant being let out of prison and joining the suicide squad. We find out that the people working in Belle Reve take bets on who'll survive and who'll. I love this detail, it feels like a very natural thing for them to do, given that they work where they do and have to live with the use and killing of suicide squad members. And it's also quite funny. Almost the entirety of this suicide squad team we were introduced to dies a gruesome death. The beach massacre sets up to important details; the head bombs and Harley's spear. Both of equal importance to the spot obviously. Then we are introduced to Bloodsport and his team. Bloodsport is introduced in a fine way and the teams introduction are introduced in a funny way. Then we learn what the mission is and are told that they need to find Peter Capaldi. Then we cut back to the beach. This sets up the concept of the suicide squad and the humour of the film beautifully.

    I watched this movie because of Harley and Peacemaker. But unexpectedly Bloodsport was the heart and soul of this movie. He really made an impact and I enjoyed his scenes. Plus I was proper emotional when his daughter was like "That's my dad." Loved it.

    Also shout out to the scene where the squad kill a group freedom fighters, it...it possiplby shouldn't be nut it was very funny.

    It paradoxically undoes itself,..
    Like so many movies today, this one achieves that oxymoronic and paradoxical thing of achieving nothing at all. It makes me loose faith. If movies with millions of dollars in budget, free range, endless fantasy and people in all its different imaginable professions (in dual sense) can't come together and create something good - how is the rest of the world supposed to,..?

    At least the last movie tried to say something new. This one undoes itself. I wonder, and start to doubt myself: Is it just me, or is 90% of all movies today actually bad? I come to the same conclusions almost every single time: They suck. Most of them. It's not just me. However great Margot Robbie's character Harley Quinn is (the only reason why I return to these movies) - Sadly, it is not enough,..
