The Suicide Squad: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Watched The Suicide Squad so you don't have to. You're welcome.

The science in The Suicide Squad has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. The Suicide Squad knows its audience.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Suicide Squad?

Honestly, The Suicide Squad would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: The Suicide Squad is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of The Suicide Squad and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: The Suicide Squad's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the The Suicide Squad performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
