Just got back from seeing this. What a mess. I actually liked BvS better than this. Where to start. Leto's Joker was horrible. Way to serious without any of the zaniness to even the character out. The introduction to all the characters took way to long. Will Smith played his typical Will Smith character like he does in every movie. Flagg was annoying and I hated him. Captain Boomerang sucked and probably shouldn't have even been in the movie. Killer Croc did nothing for me. The scene where they went in to his cell to get him and he jumped out of the water and killed a guard was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a movie. Where did they think he was going to be? The charcoal people were weak and dumb. The villains were way to powerful for these geeks and could have easily killed them. The fight with the Enchantress was your typical dark, shaky, hard to follow fight that most DC films are famous for. All the humor was forced and poorly received. Oh well. I felt Margot did Harley a solid and I liked her. Deadshot was Will Smith but he was one of the better things here. I liked katana and wished she was featured more. Lastly, Amanda Waller was the best thing about the movie and that's just sad
4 out of 10 for me.
I'm seriously just about done. Although I didn't like the trailer, I'll give WW a chance since she was the best thing in BvS, but if that one turns out bad, I'm finished with WB/DC.

And mostly mediocre to bad reviews.
I don't put too much stock in critics. Hell, Blade Runner was hated by critics when it first came out. Same with a bunch of Hitchcock films I love. But most of those films turned out to be classics. BTW, not saying BVS or SS will turn out to be classics, but critics aren't always right.
Originally posted by Zack MAll of my friends/co-workers liked it except one. One of the college kids that goes to the GYM I push Iron at said that he didn't like it, then he later said "well I guess it wasn't that bad, I just wasn't wowed when I left the theater". So he was 50/50 I guess.
Nah, I highly liked SS. All my friends/co workers did, too, which is why it's having good holds at the theater.

Same here. Only one friend that saw it said it was OK. He said it started out great, but the last act was mediocre.
