I just rented the Suicide Squad bluray from Redbox but have Deadpool saved on my DVR. Which should I watch? I like good action and story. Don't know much about either movie except in the trailer for Suicide Squad it seemed like the Joker was aping Heath Ledger's voice. That would greatly annoy me.

Nah, I think Leto did his own take to the role. Remember, the Joker is a gangster, and spoke like one before he was dropped in acid. We're talking zoot suit gangster, not contemporary hood gangster.
I'd watch SS first, then Deadpool. I own both and like both movies for different reasons. -

I did like Suicide Squad but Leto's Joker was easily the worst performance of the Joker I've seen yet. Good thing there wasn't a whole lot of him. Deadpool was the better movie.
Victims, aren't we all? -

Well I watched Suicide Squad and yes it was pretty disappointing. Of all the characters I did like the Joker best.
This movie looks like one of those fiascos where miles of film are shot and the studio has to take over and bring in editors and ghostwriters to salvage some semblance of a movie. Too much backstory and exposition, should have cut at least 30 minutes off the run time. -

I think both films were disappointing. Deadpool has the humour (some of it, anyway) but not a lot else. Suicide Squad is better eye candy, but not a lot else either. Both films leave you feeling like you could have happily never seen them and never miss the experience.

No, don't read too much beyond what I say. Suicide Squad had a near non-existent story which felt like a rip off of a lot of very familiar ones.
I was merely saying that if they want action- story
they have probably picked a couple of weak choices, but Deadpool can be enjoyed for other things than strong story or action.

That doesn't mean it was especially wonderful. There were plenty of fun visual effects, and Harley.
