IMDB has it on a 7,8 (it was 8,5 yesterday so it might fall further down).
Still i'm going to watch the movie myself and form my own opinion. These movie reviews can't be trusted (Rotten tomatoes has Ghostbusters at 73% fresh after all.  While at IMDB it falls low and has a 5,4)

I saw it at a premiere. Fucking horrible movie.
- The scenario is inexistant, and has plot holes bigger than the Death Star.
- The pacing is bad, the action is subpar and the whole movie in 3D almost made my head dizzy.
- The supposedly funny moments actually aren't.
- They put random musics in there just because, and which serve no purpose.
- The Joker has no charisma. I usually enjoy Jared Leto, but here the Joker is just a punk gangster with tattoos coming straight from the 50s.

Margot Robbie, with her nice looks (that's an understatement) and decent acting help a little, but clearly can't save the movie.
The only good thing about this movie is that it lasted 1 hour less than Batman V Superman, which made the suffering shorter...

Grade : 3/10

I was gonna go see this tonight too since I'm off work. But hearing all the reviews that resemble the script being rushed, guess I can hold off. Too many other things I wanna do, and I wasn't interested enough to dedicate hours into this unconditionally.

Those IMDB ratings are almost entirely from people who haven't seen the movie yet (because it's not out yet), rating it a 10 in response to the poor reviews.

Movie reviews can absolutely be trusted: at the end of the day, they're just the opinions of other people. Everyone is gonna have their own specific tastes and preferences, so it's perfectly reasonable to disagree with reviews. But that doesn't mean they're invalid.

My advice is don't go in expecting a Suicide Squad movie, because that's not what this is. Sure, all the other characters get touched upon, but the movie's a character vehicle for a DCCU Harley Quinn, an acid test of whether mainstream audiences will dig a character like her. Hell, even the DC and WB logos were plastered with red and black diamonds and CRAAAZY misspelled scrawly words, it's clear as day.

Ugh. What a massive let-down the DCEU has been thus far. Is there any chance that the Geoff Johns written Wonder Woman could be any good? Who knows at this point. It certainly won't be if WB keeps pulling this shit:

I don't like the looks of Justice League so far. More of Batman not acting anything like Batman. I really liked the WW trailer, but I also liked the SS trailer, and we see how that turned out. I had a lot of hope. Oh well. I am really enjoying some of the DC Rebirth comics, so I have that. The movies were always secondary to the comics for me. I will say though, as far as future readership...There are going to be a LOT of young Marvel fans...not so many young DC fans, with these movies...

Why the fuck does every major player in the DCEU know Bruce Wayne is Batman. I understand Waller learns Bruce's big secret in the JL animated series (and perhaps even the books, I haven't gotten that far) But why does Lex Luthor know? I don't like that in this universe everyone is privy to the fact that Wayne is Batman.

I watched SS last night and the movie had its flaws no doubt, but I'm not gonna bullshit and say I was sitting there bored the entire time. The movie was enjoyable, but it was just another popcorn flick.

So how was Jai Courtney in the movie? He was one of the actors I was most interested in seeing in this movie, main reason being that it seems like he's not bland like he usually is in the movies he stars in... his character caught my attention as he seems to be exquisite in a way.

Anyways, disappointed that the movie is not getting a good reception... then again I was one of those that enjoyed MoS and BvS soooooo maybe I'll like this one too? I guess I should find out...

He's...Australian. And that's it.

Pretty much every negative review of the film is right; half of the main characters are dead weight and barely have any lines; there's no build up for absolutely anything; the team chemistry is completely shoehorned in the last 15 minutes of the film; fuck Joker Leto.

It's not offensively bad, but it's one of the most brain dead films I've seen in years.

I have seen the movie.

It's not offensively bad, like BVS is. Most of the characters are okay. the character that was done the worst was probably the joker as he didn't feel like the joker enough. He basically was a gang boss who was crazy. Also him saving Harley is usually very out of character, but it may be okay early on (as this seems to be) since he isn't bored of her yet.

Captain boomerang was good. I wish he had more lines and was as offensive as the comic book character was, but he wasn't bad. He had my favourite scene in the whole film (which was IMO the funniest). I just wish he had more screen time. If they make a sequel they really, really should focus more on him because if they want to make it funny he's the character they should be using. Not Harley.

The rest of the characters needed more screen time. I understand that Flagg, Harley and Deadshot were the main characters, but honestly if they were going to spend that much time on them they didn't need that many characters. Katana was almost completely irrelevant and were boomerang and Killer Croc they could have not been there and the plot would have been the same for the most part.

Boomerang was probably the third most important SS member. Harley and Deadshot are the stars, Boomerang was their comic relief number three. Surprised at how he was treated; very Aussie, but not offensively so, rarer than it sounds in US films.

From what I can tell most of the people that are hating on SS claimed to have liked MoS and BvS, so... yeah... But don't compare it to them. Compare the tone of it to Guardians of the Galaxy, but don't go in expecting the same sort of ensemble hero movie, because it's not.

For reasons, the movie starts on the 18th August here in Germany.

@the ones who saw SS, is it at least a nice Popcorn movie? You know, the kind of movies with some jokes, action and explosions but you don't have to care about a deeper sense or a good story because the jokes and the action is dominating the movie anyway?

It's really, really dumb even for a popcorn movie and the jokes aren't that good (the funnier ones are in the trailers already) but yeah, if you bring some noisy friends and shut down your brain for a while it's enjoyable.

The movie's gonna have a $150 million opening weekend (which is absolutely nuts!), but it could very well follow the same path as BvS: huge opening but then it falls off a cliff. Depending on how well it does in the next few weeks, Warner might decide that it'll have to micromanage all the movies more, to prevent a repeat of the sort-of poor performances of BvS and Suicide Squad.

But regardless, I think it's fair to be very worried about Wonder Wonder; it was produced and filmed under the same regime that BvS and Suicide Squad were. Of course, there's still plenty of time left for them to do reshoots, and plenty more time to do extensive edits and re-edits to the workprint. But I don't think Warner is going to learn the right lessons from the two DC movies it released this year; if anything, I almost feel like their attempts at course-correcting could prove to be even more disastrous.

I had fun watching it last night. It is not a good film by any means, but Viola Davis killed as Amanda Waller and Margot Robbie was delightful as Harley Quinn. Will Smith was also a fun Deadshot, but in the end, the film felt too cramped with characters.
It felt like there was actually a film there that was butchered to the point of no return. I do hope that a director's cut can fix some of the glaring editing and cut problems the film suffered from.

But at least it was fun.
