Suicide Squad: What They Say About DC's Latest Effort of Redemption

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"After all the hype and drama surrounding Jared Leto‘s performance as the Joker — the knee-jerk scorn unleashed by fans when that first image dropped, the endless stories from the cast and crew about Leto’s super-intense method process — it turns out his version of the Clown Prince of Crime is just … fine. He’s not terrible, and Leto and David Ayer deserve credit for trying to make the character their own, but Suicide Squad‘s Joker certainly isn’t giving The Dark Knight‘s Joker a run for his money."- Jet Rai

Seriously, the only reason we want to watch the Suicide Squad movie was the hype about Jared Leto's Joker and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. Apparently, you'll only appreciate the movie if you're a die-hard fan of the comic genre who do not miss on merchandise, which includes movies and TV series, such as this. 

I was looking forward to this but it's been getting trashed in the reviews by both critics and people who saw an early screening. Script that's a disaster and Jokers only in it for a few minutes so they could save him for a future movie.

The movie may not be as bad as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it's still bad. I feel it's still a botch job that should have been kept locked away. It made the latest Fantastic Four reboot look better. I hate to say anything harsher but that's just it. Nothing else good to say about the movie.

The early reviews should already make you think twice about watching it. "It's maybe an anti-hero film where the heroes are villains going after the super villain (Joker), still you'll not be impressed about anything. 

It's "practically every petty thing you have seen before—what else but a whirlwind of debris and yet another omen of failure." - Jonell Estillore

"I had it, DC. Stop continuing your cinematic universe immediately."
