The reshoot heavy, panic button pushing, over-managed road to “Suicide Squad” wasn’t the smoothest ride for all involved, and the unease really showed in the final product. Sure, the film may have earned $745 million worldwide at the box office, but it did little to convince anybody —especially following the “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice” debacle— that Warner Bros. has any idea what to do with the DC Extended Universe. And Screen Junkies is here to remind what disastrous mess the film was.

Even the basic premise —a team of very bad people are blackmailed into saving the world— makes little sense. Why, in a universe where we know Superman and Batman exist, would anyone think a crocodile man, a guy who can climb things and a dude with a boomerang can stop a world ending, laser beam shooting ghost lady? And then there’s the matter of relegating the Joker, one of the most iconic comic book villains, to a subplot that almost no bearing on the movie.
Honest Trailers does a good job of taking apart the problems with the movie, but if you want even more, I Hate Everything spends twenty-minutes hilariously shredding “Suicide Squad.”
