Hi @caseyb1993
believe it or not I've only just noticed this topic 
I have suicide squad on UHD Blu-ray that I haven't watched it yet
DC films keep getting bad reviews because these days. Film critics tend to look for different things to wider audiences. In other words, they are out of touch. To be honest though, it's the wider audiences that DC comics and Warner Brothers needs to worry about. The reception from wider audiences has been okay for most films. In some cases reception has been good,
For example, the extended version of Batman versus Superman got quite a good reception from the wider audience

Guys
I guess that both Andy and Casey know where I stand on Batman Vs Superman, and that is the 3 hour version made sense, the story flowed, while the theatrical release was disjointed.
As for the Suicide Squad theatrical release, you had good actors, good action, some bad editing (Joker was almost completely cut out) and a story that could use a bit of extra work. As for the extended version, it needed a bit of extra work on the story.
Why do DC films come in for so much criticism?
Well, I think there are three main reasons:-
1) A film release date is scheduled long before a script is written, therefore the finished product contains a rushed scripts filled with incomplete and badly thought out ideas.
2) WB/DC films are written and produced by people who do not come from the super hero comic genre and so do not understand what is expected of them, i.e. they use their own past experience from the film industry.
3) Some of you guys may remember that super hero / science fiction films and shows of the past were treated as cheap jokes, nothing worth bothering about. I believe that some of those people were running the production of WB/DC films and probably, at the time, thought the genre was nothing more than a short term fad.
However, now that they see Marvel can not only make money from the genre but keep long term loyalty from it's fans while getting a new generation of fans WB/DC have changed tact and have now put in place a team, with backgrounds in the super hero / science fiction field, that can make better films which most people will want to watch.
The new raft of films they have planned will, i.e. Wonder Woman, Justice League, Flash and the Batman, will prove whether or not WB/DC has finally got it right.

PS. May have gone a little bit overboard on this one 
@ukbobboy I'm looking forward to see how these new films will play out.
To be honest, I am still not impressed with the Justice League trailer. 😞
This may sound silly, but it just reminds of a scenario like how Top Cat would meet his gang in the alley. 
Also the line that Ezra Miller delivers as Flash "I need friends." To me, that is a cheap line.
But like before, I may be proven wrong. 😉
@Andy The first time I saw the extended version, I did notice a few myself. What I usually do is watch the original one night and then the extended a few nights later to see what I can pick up. I like a challenge! 🙂
Enchantress was pretty good, a bit goofy but a good villain. 🙂
