“The critics have been absolutely horrific, they’re really, really horrible. You know, I just don’t think they like superhero movies,” Cara Delevingne, who plays the Enchantress, told Reuters at the film’s London premiere.
Delevingne added that while “this movie isn’t perfect,” it was made for the fans.
Suicide Squad, out in theatres on Friday, follows a rogue group of anti-heroes with special powers - Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Boomerang, Killer Croc and El Diablo - who are held hostage by Gotham’s government to use as weapons to protect the city.
Many critics have panned the film, with Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair calling it “too shoddy and forgettable to even register as revolting”.
The film has a 31% rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
Will Smith, who plays Deadshot, commended the film’s writer-director David Ayer for weaving together the stories of 10 characters and setting up a new world within Warner Bros’ expanding cinematic superhero universe.
“I think people had expectations that may have been different, but I’m excited for the fans to get to vote,” Smith said.
