Yes, this video gave me the clearest idea of what was wrong with the movie. To sum up, she says that while all of the cool images and moments from the trailer are there, there are no real scenes to go with them. In other words, it's another case of Zack Snyder syndrome. -

the latest high profile misfire from DC, whose rivalry with Marvel is beginning to look a bit like the Washington Generals taking on the Harlem Globetrotters.
After the flameout of this years Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and now Suicide Squad, the whole DC universe is in dire need of a reboot." - The Detroit News

If you know someone you really can't stand - not someone you dislike, not someone who rubs you the wrong way, but someone you really loathe and detest - send that person a ticket for "Suicide Squad."

A consistent tone is never established, the action is choppy and the climax reaches Green Lantern levels of embarrassment. Sometimes its good to be bad. In Suicide Squads case, bad is just plain bad. It gives villainy a bad name.

I'm no Marvel acolyte keen to dump on the DC movie universe, but, with a heavy heart, this wobbly walk on the wild side is not going to challenge Marvel's way with a comic-book blockbuster. - Jeremy Aspinall

Beats anal wart.
Anyway
The muddled tone and obvious post-production tinkering makes it feel more like DC's version of Fantastic Four. - SF Weekly
