I'll probably never touch my copy of this for a long time. I've seen MOS like 3-4 times in different scenes, and I'm good with that movie but this just seemed overlong and had too many flaws. I could probably do another Suicide Squad sitting when it comes out (Just skipping the ending with Suckchantress), but I legit don't see myself watching this again other than to recap on the Warehouse/Doomsday fight scenes on Youtube

What about it did you dislike? Genuinely asking, because I honestly thought it wasn't that bad. And I tend to be pretty critical of comic book movies.
I enjoyed for the most part. Something seriously wrong with that last fight though. Enchantress' brother tanking serious ordinance during his rampage yet their plan was to use a mine through a stone and concrete floor to take him out. Not to mention the huge amounts of standing around and doing nothing from each character at different times of the fight.
Cara Delvigne was passable as her human form and looked cool in the freaky black form but both looked and acted like sh1t once she had her heart back and was in that middle of the two form.
Boomerang and Katana would have been as well getting killed off along with the shitty climbing guy if only to give Croc and diablo more screen time.

Forgot to give my review of this.
It was ok. Not awful but not good either. Pretty fun sometimes but I can see why people would say its a bad movie. 5.5/10Deadshot was cool but it was Will Smith as a marksman more than deadshot.
Harley was ok but again not so much like comics or cartoon Harley.
Joker seemed more like a quirky gangster than The Joker. Since when is Joker blindly in love and letting that dictate his actions?
The music used badly.
The way the music would suddenly start for each character like a music video was cringe worthy.
The plot wasnt great.
Character interactions were good. I liked that more than anythingBest movie in the DCU so far.
sidenotes:
Why isnt Joker dead? Batman has no problems killing random fodder but Joker is alive after killing Robin?
They kept saying "Meta Humans" but there was two I would call meta humans in the team. That mission was too much for them. We see Flash apprehend Boomerang in full costume. This is even before Bruce gets a chance to recruit him. Doesnt make sense.
Then you have a wold wide threat and we dont see Batman, Wonder Woman or Flash (apparently he is already stopping crime). So the last hope is these regular criminals? Even though Waller has records on Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg, and knows Batman? She decides to go for this plan?Have more thought buts thats a quick review.

Yes very retarded.
Lets see.
Waller has files on real meta-humans and knows how to contact Bruce Wayne who she knows is Batman as well.
There is a global threat of supernatural proportions.
I know ill get a group of nobodies that im forcing to work for me. So they will not be fully into this mission and will be always thinking about escaping. All of which one of them could actually be effective against the threat(s). And this is ignoring the fact that no one knew about Diablo transforming into that fire creature.
Yes we will have a dude that fights with knives and boomerangs , a girl with mental problems that fights with a bat, a dude that punches people and ties knots, a chick with a sword , and a guy that shoots guns well Vs. a global supernatural threat(s).
Real smart plan I have here.
Too bad I cant get REAL super powered people to help in this global threat.

Yeah let's leave the world safety into it team we're not even sure will even follow orders or have even worked together in the past before
Would have been a better movie if the threat was smaller scale. Like Joker and his goons.
yep Suicide Squad looks to be another failure.. i expect more changes in the near future... 2nd weekend drop appears likely and possibly on par with that peice of shit known as Bats V Supes...

So, all of the box office numbers so far look great. How does this stack up against the film’s costs? Well, first of all I can tell you that these $800 million “break-even point” claims floating around are false. The film needs to do about $600 million in global ticket sales to cover the shooting budget (including reshoots) plus marketing costs, since the studio will only get about half of the box office receipts to cover the combined costs that total roughly $300 million. Claims in the press of marketing exceeding $150-200 million are gross exaggerations, as are rumors of costly reshoots that pushed the filming budget closer toward the $200 million range.

It will get around 42 M second Weekend. It's already on pace to do 300 domestic. If it continues to get good holds (like Mon-wed), it has a shot at passing GOTG domestic.
Damn, I am sooo good. 😉
The Warner Bros/DC pic based off of early evening industry figures is headed toward a second weekend drop on par to Batman v. Superman‘s -69% with $41.9M over three days.

That's the average, so it's normal and it had a nice Friday bump.
How is that 750-800 breaking even doing for you? I was right yet again. And SS is doing fine, box office wise, so stop your complaining.
And how do you know how much they spent on MARKETING? Let me quote Hughes again:
Warner’s financial risks on the film are mitigated — as it is for every studio that makes pictures — via financing partners who shared some of the costs, by tie-in promotions and product placement deals, by presales, by tax credits from shooting locations, and by other means typical of these sorts of big-budget Hollywood productions. It’s also true that many costs associated with production and marketing are really associated with internal expenses, where money is paid by one part of the parent company to another part of the company for certain work — such expenses are listed as costs on one spreadsheet and revenue on another, but it’s all ultimately in-house and flows into a series of coffers belonging to the same top organization.

Whoaaaa? I only went by the reports Bruce and Inhuman gave which seemed ridiculously excessive. But it's WB so you can't put it past them.
$600mill is still wayyy too much and still proves my point:
That you can't compare it's box office to the early Marvel movies which were making Solid Profit with total grosses of between $380mill and $450mill 😬
Where was your report from anyway?

LOL! Same reports on Warcraft and BVS? I told you to not believe those numbers. 750 is way too high.
Point is, SS is STILL going to make profit. A lot, just like BVS/MOS.
Check the link for my quotes. I'll also quote this again:
It is true that Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix lost money on its theatrical run, but so do almost all Hollywood movies. Here is why. The reported box-office “gross” that so fascinates the media is what the theaters take in, not what the studios get. Of the $938.2 million worth of tickets sold for this Harry Potter sequel, Warner Bros.’ distribution arm got only $459.3 million. Out of that sum, it reimbursed itself the out-of-pocket cost it made to get this film, and an audience, in 7,000 theaters around the world. These cash expenses came to a staggering $182.6 million. They included $29.2 million paid to labs for the prints, $131.1 million paid to TV stations, newspapers and other media for ads, $8 million paid in taxes to foreign governments, $5.6 million paid to dubbing studios, and $3.5 million paid to UPS and others for shipping films abroad. What remained after these expenses was $276.7 million.Since the negative cost for this Harry Potter film was $315.9 million (which included the payments to the author and other gross players), the film was in the red after its theatrical run. But so what? This was only initial harvest of money. The real profits in Hollywood come from harvesting the back-end, which includes the DVD market, Pay-TV (HBO), and TV network and cable licensing.
