Director Patty Jenkins has been all hands on deck in the editing bay working on DC’s next feature film Wonder Woman, but she managed to get away to show her DC support and stop by the London premiere of Suicide Squad. After seeing the film she tweeted her thoughts.
Uh… You guys. Super confused. Just went to the premiere of #SuicideSquad. Hadn’t seen it. It’s great! Not sort of great. GREAT! I mean…

…I loved it. So surprised by some reviews. I don't get it. I thought it was awesome. And NOT just because I'm in the DC world. Truly.

Fans who haven’t even seen the Warner Bros. film yet seem to be baffled and/or worried about all the negative feedback Suicide Squad has been getting, specifically from what they’ve seen on Rotten Tomatoes. These couple tweets may hopefully help put some of you at ease who are on the edge feeling defeated in a from the ripping it apart. The best advice I can personally give is to find a few film critics you really trust and often agree with and just go off what they have to say rather than the large majority. In any case most of us “sweaties,” “fanboys” will be seeing the film tomorrow night to form our own opinion on the matter.
Intelligence officer Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) decides to assemble a team of dangerous, incarcerated supervillains for a top-secret mission. Figuring it has nothing to lose, the U.S. government supplies weapons to Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and other despicable inmates. Dubbed the Suicide Squad, the united criminals must defeat a mysterious and powerful entity while contending with the antics of the diabolical Joker (Jared Leto).
Suicide Squad opens in select theaters tomorrow night and everywhere Friday, August 5th, 2016!
