As reported, Suicide Squad set some box office records when it smashed its way into theaters on August 5th, 2016. This result came despite lots of negative reviews from critics, move review websites, and even Rotten Tomatoes themselves. So obviously, fans like the film a lot more than people whose job is to rate the movie from a critic’s perspective. However, one fan that’s not an actual movie reviewer did see the film and decided to share his thoughts on the Squad via Twitter, and that fan is Robert Liefield.
Yes, his name isn’t as common as Stan Lee or Steve Ditko, but major fans of Marvel’s hit character Deadpool will probably recognize him. See, Liefield invented Deadpool, just like Stan Lee invented Spider-Man. He didn’t direct the Deadpool movie or something like that. He’s literally the soul creator of Deadpool. And he went to see Suicide Squad. And he didn’t really like. And you can read about his thoughts in the various tweets below.
1. I’m not a film critic, I just love cinema and see a whole lot of movies. I’m going to post some SUICIDE SQUAD thoughts here.

2. MARGOT ROBBIE is the ONLY performance worth a damn in SUICIDE SQUAD. She owns the entire film. SHE IS HARLEY QUINN! Give her a solo film!

3. We love movie stars, they captivate us and demand our attention and Margot Robbie is a STAR! The film benefits every time she’s on screen

4. The Enchantress is TERRIBLE. She’s awful. Every time she’s on screen I’m in another movie and it’s not a good one!

5. Every single frame that Enchantress inhabits is poorly conceived, visualized and performed. Green Lantern Smog Monster >>> Enchantress.

6. I enjoyed the brief scenes with JOKER. He has good chemistry with Harley.

7. There was NOT A SINGLE MOMENT in the film that I was not expecting Melissa McCarthy and her GHOSTBUSTERS to arrive and join the fight!

8. Random thoughts I couldn’t shake while watching SS “ If WILD, WILD WEST and GHOSTBUSTERS 2 had a baby it would be SUICIDE SQUAD. “

9. The music was enjoyed by my wife and daughter. It was a non-factor to me. But Enchantress….

10. This movie is going to make ALL THE MONEY for the next week. Crowds/lines bigger than BVS. Fanboys RULE the cinema! Preview $$$ HUGE!
— robertliefeld (@robertliefeld) August 5, 2016
11. Put Margot Robbie in her own HARLEY QUINN film NOW! It will make more or the same amount of money without aging “stars” bloating budget.

So as you can see, it seems like Liefield agrees with various other reviews and critics that Margot Robbie has the best performance out of everyone else in the film. And while he does like a few little sections of Suicide Squad, he was overall not a fan.
I still have yet to see the film, so I don’t know if I agree with Liefield. I’ll let you know my thoughts on Suicide Squad in a future article.
