Suicide Squad Reviews: 14 Early Reactions You Need To See
4. It's A "Hot Mess"
The phrase "hot mess" has appeared a good few times, and it does seem to resonate in various ways throughout the more positive reviews.
The Guardian calls it "a clotted and delirious film, with flashes of preposterous, operatic silliness."
Most of the sites who gave it more than 3 stars seem to spend a lot of time on the film's issues - the villain, the balance between characters, the editing... But for some, the characters and the fun distract from the flaws.
As Den Of Geek so eloquently put it:
"Logic waved bye-bye to Harley a long time ago. Kind of like this movie. But in both cases, it's a damn captivating spectacle to behold."
