First off, Rotten Tomatoes, you be tripping. Holly (15 year-old daughter) and I saw Suicide Squad in IMAX 3D. Neither of us knew anything about the characters of story going in (we be Marvel people). We had a blast. It is everything a big action superhero movie should be. Was it as good as Civil War? Naw...but Suicide Squad showed better in 3D, if that is your thing.
It had its flaws...they tried to get in too much backstory for each squad member, so things we a little choppy in the beginning. Don't know if different editing decisions could have fixed that issue.
I liked Leto's Joker...dude took old school Joker and brought out the psycho aspect. The Enchantress is bad ass, but a little over dramatic like all super-villains end up being. I thought Margot Robbie (Harley) and Will Smith (Deadshot) did the best job of portraying their characters.
All in all, it is worth seeing if you enjoy superhero movies. Be sure to stay for the extra scene...there is only one :)
Holly gives it 4.5 "Just getting you there" Sheep or "Pudding" Sheep (she couldn't decide)
I give it 4.25 "Staying Evil" Sheep
