Lady, read the comics please.
You might enjoy it more if you imagine she's playing Amanda Waller pitching the Suicide Squad to her superior.
This is the only Amanda Waller I recognize:

Y'know, as bad as this movie is, it's at least better than those garbage CW shows

Also Ant-Man. It's better than Ant-Man.

I would agree with this with the exception of Arrow.

I don't know, guys. I hate superhero shit, but in its current form, this "movie" is seriously unwatchable. Even I don't think I'd say it's better than Marvel movies. At least those are competently edited.

There is more cinema, more intention of doing something different and compelling in SS than in Ant Man.

Yeah, but who cares when it's assembled so horrendously that you can't even make it out?

I prefer a failed experiment than something as bland as ant man or thor. Thats tv man.

You know I agree. And I don't plan on ever watching Ant-Man. But Suicide Squad is a depressing waste of time right now. Crushed, obscured vision to this extreme isn't really better than bland, workmanlike emptiness.

Ant man was a fun movie. Hardly one of the best (it's top of the bottom for me) but it had lots of clever scenes and winning characters. The shrinking stuff was well done. I'm not sure why it wasn't 'cinematic' or what that even means

Just got back from seeing this.
Yeah, I didn't dig it at all. I was BORED for most of it. I didn't even think Margot Robbie was that good, considering most people keep saying she's one of the best things in the movie. Will Smith was great, though.
I didn't care for Leto's interpretation of The Joker at all. Whenever I watch him in movies it feels like he's just trying too hard. It's so forced. This gangster Joker did absolutely nothing for me.
Interestingly, the brief cameos from Affleck's Batman were more entertaining than anything he did in Batman vs Superman.
