Haven't seen it but I'm vaguely aware of it getting poor reviews. Sometimes that can mean it's legitimately bad, or sometimes it can just mean that people who know way more about all the superheroes and super villains than me got themselves all worked up about details and backstories and characterizations and dichotomies that I won't even care about.
I'm still assuming it's genuinely bad, but that wouldn't prevent me from watching it just to see Margot Robbie acting like a slut clown. -

Margot Robbie acting like a slut clown.
Honestly: Low angle shots that seem to exist just so people can now make gifs of her arse = to many to count.
Apparently it may have been 'Photoshoped', not sure I care. -

Oh, it was legitimately bad. There was some fun stuff in there though. If you go in expected a stupid comic book movie you shouldn't be disappointed. It is a stupid comic book movie.
I liked Robbie's Quinn all around, visually speaking
According to me, yes. I am the person it's usually according to when I'm talking. -

When Jai Courtney does legitimately a better acting job than everyone else in the film (well will smith plays will smith as usual) you know there's something afoot.
Ike Barinholtz was decent for all 5 minutes of screentime he has too.
Still if you want slutclown that's there too, but you have to tolerate Cara Delavignes model-slash-acting. And trust me she's every bit as good as Fabian. -

The hate for it, was mainly for the theatrical version. It was edited so much and so poorly that it ended up being a mess. This is the problems with DC's current movies. The stories are so long and need to be cut down for theatrical releases. And then get torn apart from the critics because those release are discombobulated messes.
Cara was utterly atrocious though.

It had nothing to do with the story being so long and needing to be cut down for theatrical releases. That's a gross simplification of the problem. The real problem was that Warner Bros. hired a trailer editing company to cut the film to make it feel more fun and quirky after BVS got absolutely lambasted by critics and significantly underperformed at the boxoffice. They got so terrified after the near universe complaints of BVS being such a "grimdark" slog to get through that the studio actively cut out any and all substance from Suicide Squad in favor of creating a film that was "more fun." Which of course resulted in a film that played like a series of extended music videos with zero character development or connective story/character tissue. Basically Warner Bros. sabotaged their own movie by trying to chase trends after the film was already shot.

It has a kickass soundtrack instead of actual dialogue, it involves the least suited mission for a crew of largely non meta criminals, and for teh uber dark "batman cood get raped in prison" Synderverse, it's painfully tame and conventional for a Suicide Squad movie. Glad you enjoyed it, but my God have they f-cked the dog (or however that saying goes) with the DC Universe. Sadly, it doesn't look like they'll be turning it around either.
