::: spoiler It’s the best DC film since The Dark Knight!
EDIT: For those who don’t get it, it’s a reference to this meme:

I saw the trailer. Did the full movie add anything to the experience?
I didn’t see any trailers for the movie, so I walked in blind. I knew that this may or may not be part of James Gunn’s new universe, so I decided to show my support.
By the way, the “best DC film since TDK” comment was a joke. In all honesty, it’s very by-the-numbers; nothing you haven’t seen before. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good movie.
If you are at all considering to see this movie, I say you should go see it.
Technically, Gunn had nothing to do with it.
OTOH he’s also said this is the first character in the Gunnverse… sooo… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“He previously stating that, while his film Superman: Legacy will be the first movie in the cinematic franchise, he considers Jaime Reyes to be the first character to solidly exist in the reboot.”
By the numbers in which direction?
The DC format where it’s dark and story heavy but kinda boring and one weird bit that makes no sense but we just all accept it?
Or the Marvel format where it’s a happy fun time with one liners and pop culture references every few minutes, and a sound track composed of mostly 70-2000s music?
Marvel format.
This movie has a TV movie feel to it which it never really shook off.
Good enough movie, but one would rather watch it at home with all the time and breaks.
Thanks, hard pass.
