Not really.
I thought Will Smith just played Will Smith.
His character had very little resemblance to the comic book character of Deadshot, who isn't really a wise-cracking nice-guy-at-heart at all.

Yeah I immediately thought that Will Smith probably demanded his character to be changed to be more likable, cool and nice-guy-at-heart as you say. He doesn't fit the role of a psychopath at all. Imho it was a really bad portrayal both through acting and writing. And all this talk of the "street" was cringey too.

No, he was not amazing at all, except amazingly bad.
He played the role with too much emotional conviction, like he was the big hero who knew what was right. When in reality, he was supposed to be playing an emotionless psychopath. This movie was a prime example of people not knowing how bad guys are supposed to act. The only character who seemed like a believable reformed killer was the fire guy. Damn soft, rich people in Hollywood. -

He wasn't bad but the problem with Will Smith is all his characters are basically Will Smith. You can never look at him and not think thats Will Smith.

Will Smith was arguably the worst portrayal in this movie, he reflected none of Deadshot's personality traits. it was clearly a case will smith came into this movie doing will smith with zero research or understanding of the character.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan with Negans role in The Walking Dead is probably the only character resembling deadshots portrayal. (which is sad as a reference as i am not a fan of the walking dead series at all)
cara delevingne was the worst part of the movie period
but frankly all the characters were awful, Margot Robbie was probably the only actor playing true to her character if you were to excluded the beep sentimental moral values. -

He was OK, but he was just playing Will Smith in a Deadshot costume (much like almost every role he's ever played). The worst part is that they sacrificed so much focus on the other character just to feed Smith's ego.
