Particularly given you liked the previous Suicide Squad movie, which I think it's fair to say was worse acted, worse directed, worse edited, had worse action, had a much worse script, was visually less appealing and pretty much objectively was a worse movie. The only "upsides" I can see for the previous one are:1) Way more lascivious/horny shots of Harley Quinn, so if you're there to perv on her, I guess it's a better movie?2) Jared Leto Joker. I know some people just insanely loved that Joker take.And I ask why particularly because, let's be real, we're all nerds here, and if there's one thing nerds do, it's take huge amounts of personal offence at like, stuff that's not really offensive in any sensible way, but is like, a lore change or character change, or character being killed off or w/e. I've seen nerds absolutely take against obviously-good movies based on existing IPs because some lore character they liked died too early, or was done in a way they didn't like. I've probably done it myself, I just can't think of an example off the top of my head.It looks like depending on the source, about 5-15% of people (depending on place it's being reviewed) who claimed to have watched it absolutely hated it - i.e gave it 1 star (or less, where possible). Most people who reviewed it negatively and wrote something didn't have any coherent reasoning or just "bad movie" or the like, but the reasons I could find were:1) It was too silly. I.e. they didn't like Weasel, King Shark, etc.2) Characters they liked got killed off early on. There are some real salty Captain Boomerang fans out there!3) There was too much swearing and gore.But what's your reasoning? Just "bad movie" or the like isn't meaningful. What specifically upset you so much you'd call it "terrible"?</blockquote>
