I won't bet my money on it's success

SUICIDE SQUAD
The only good thing about the movie is that you don't have to blame two persons for this disaster, as the writer and the director is the same person, David Ayer. Suicide Squad starring Will Smith as deadshot, Jared Leto as Joker, Margot Robbie as Joker's manic girlfriend, and a bunch of other actors, was carrying the weight of DC cinematic universe after the not so well reception of "Dawn of Justice", which it failed to bear. Amanda Waller(Viola Davis), a government official, recruits a group imprisoned super villains to save the world from the next meta- human who could apparently be a superhero in exchange for clemency and by doing so she instigates the attack herself. Then, we are left with this villain, Enchantress who we know nothing about. The villain is the most messed up character of the movie. She comes out of nowhere, start taking over people and make them do things and it starts feeling like an annoying video game.
There is no proper characterization of the characters except for deadshot and Harley Quinn and most of which is also done by excessive flashbacks, yet another case of a messed up DC story. There is not much of a plot in the movie, Margot Robbie did a good job despite of the generic plot and some pretty dumb jokes and dialogues. Most of the marketing was on the Joker and Jared Leto has done a great job in picturizing Joker, but the thing is, he is barely in the movie. we could completely remove all his scenes from the movie, but it would still be the same. There is no proper explanation to his scenes as to why he keeps popping in and out. There is some pretty great imagery and editing but it seems like it is all over the place and it doesn't let any scene breathe. Overall, the movie is disappointing to the level of "Fantastic Four", the average viewer will definitely find it below par.
