David Ayer's blockbuster project Suicide Squad may have gotten the lion's share of attention in this Comic-Con cycle, but early reviews indicate the project might have been all flash, no substance. (Rolling Stone's Peter Travers would have you believe it's because of Ayer's "willingness to go all limp-dick and compromise his hardcore action bona fides.")

From Vanity Fair's assessment that the project is "a muddy and smothering soup of wasted possibility" to IndieWire's opinion that the film is "mind-bogglingly stupid," we've gathered the best (or worst?) reviews of Suicide Squad.

Here's it all broken down--the good and the bad, the sexist and sloppy.

From Vanity Fair:

The Hollywood Reporter:

IndieWire:

Gizmodo:

Rolling Stone:

The verdict: Maybe save yourself the $15 bucks and go see something else—literally anything else—instead.
