Official Discussion: Suicide Squad [SPOILERS]

It amazes me how people want to like/dislike movies that they have already formed an opinion on. This movie had excellent marketing and was garbage. I love comic book movies and would even say I enjoyed BvS more than most, but this was rubbish. I was so let down. Yet there are people defending it tooth and nail saying "it's not thaaaat bad". I get that some people may genuinely have liked it but it seems people just really don't want to let go of their expectations. I legitimately don't understand how anyone could defend this movie at all, even given a couple decent scenes (like I really liked Deadshot).

Similar issue with Ghostbusters -- people wanted to hate it because the trailers sucked and refused to admit that it was fine (mediocre at worst).

On a separate note, can I just say how sad it is that the acting was all great yet the movie was still terrible? I can't think of a single performance that was bad (except Killer Croc but that may have just been the dialogue still...) yet it was still embarrassing. Wasted talent.
