i'll say this, from a comic book fans perspective, this movie was great. it has a lot of good elements that pull from certain themes of the comic books, the characters plots that are developed from suicide squad and original Detective series
now from a cinematic perspective (comparing it to Chris Nolan's Batman trilogy) it does lack the humanizing element that Nolan added to it. Nolan brought more of a non-fictional/serious story element to it; made the audience sympathize with Batman and the villains themselves
David Ayer/Snyder unfortunately does not that too well. Well, let me rephrase, they're making these movies for fans and trying to bring the comic to life (colors, easter eggs, certain themes true fans will only understand) but this create plot holes, unfinished story lines and leave the audience (who about 85% don't read the comics) scratching their heads and not understanding
i liked it, i've followed the comics and enjoyed ways of tying certain story lines together. on the note about the Joker (he's not really in the Suicide Squad comics to begin with). he's just a memory, of harley quinn for the most part, whose face is just a piece of skin that's been cut off and yada yada.. i could go on
either way, go watch it. it's fun and enjoyable. love the music and though it seems it can be much at times, it's still a fun ride. plus harley is haf
