I am not a superhero fan, but I saw "Suicide Squad" anyway because I wanted to see what the fuss was about. I went with an avid fan of Batman (and superheroes in general), and we were both extremely disappointed. One of the most anticipated movies of 2016 truly was a letdown.

Let me get the good things out of the way, because there aren't many. There were three solid seconds of Batman himself, and there were a number of fighting sequences that were entertaining to watch. The best two actors in the film were by far Will Smith and Viola Davis. The movie made me care about Will Smith's character because of his relationship with his daughter, and Viola Davis is a BAMF.

Now let's focus on the negative factors of the film--the plot was a huge mess with too many subplots. I was very confused as to what was going on the whole time. They focused too much on two characters (Harley Quinn and Deadshot) and left out everyone else. There were many flashbacks in the movie, but I found that most of them added nothing to the plot. There was one flashback in particular with Harley Quinn and the Joker that was completely unnecessary and added an extra three minutes to the over two hour run time. Another negative aspect of the movie was the horrendous attempts of humor. Every "joke" tried too hard to be funny but failed miserably. Instead of enhancing my mood, it made me angry. Then I realized that I actually spent money on this movie, and I became even angrier.

Altogether, I was very disappointed, but please feel free to form your own opinion on it.
