It’s fair to say that Suicide Squad hasn’t gone down well amongst critics, with Jared Leto’s Joker receiving much of the stick.

Although we actually rather liked it, most critics have slammed DC’s latest film; with its average score on Rotten Tomatoes now sitting at just 33%. Many of those critics have taken to twitter to, in particular, express their disappointment in Leto’s portrayal of The Joker:

Jared Leto is an anagram of "pulls stunts to distract from not being fit to stand in the shadow of Heath Ledger's Joker" — Rupert Myers (@RupertMyers) August 3, 2016

Suicide Squad: Jared Leto's greatest prank was forgetting to give a performance. — Todd VanDerTurkey (@tvoti) August 3, 2016

Will Smith and Margot Robbie were great. Viola Davis was kicked butt. I am not a fan of Leto's Joker. At all. #SuicideSquad — Dan Murrell (@MurrellDan) August 3, 2016

Harley & Deadshot stole the show w/ their chemistry Loved seeing Will Smith back in action But Leto's JimCarrey Joker ? #SuicideSquad (2of2) — Andy Signore (@andysignore) August 3, 2016

Will Smith is great in Suicide Squad. Jared Leto is uh — (((Ian Phillips))) (@IanReelDeal) August 3, 2016

#SuicideSquad was….not that great. Some fun moments. Leto and Robbie were very blah. — Julian Wright (@JulianHWright) August 2, 2016

It was revealed that during production, Leto prepared for his role in quite bizarre fashion. As he gave his fellow cast members several horrific gifts, including a dead pig, used condoms and anal beads. He even met with “psychopaths and people who had committed horrendous crimes.” to inhabit the role of The Joker. Well many critics were expecting much more from the actor after the extreme lengths he went to, as well as more screen-time:

Wait-Spoiler Alert. Jared Leto's Joker is barely in the new #SuicideSquad? He's the reason I waited for this movie. pic.twitter.com/o4r80Kgedw — Luis Hernandez (@RadioLFH) August 3, 2016

So they had to put up with all that shit from Jared Leto for THAT fucking performance? — Jason Bailey (@jasondashbailey) August 3, 2016

Also, for all of the on-set antics Jared Leto put his castmates through … he was not threatening or creepy or unnerving. — Soraya Nadia McDonald (@SorayaMcDonald) August 3, 2016

Earlier, director David Ayer responded to the negative reviews:

Zapata quote is my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life. ❤️ — David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) August 2, 2016

But fans can make their own minds up on the film and Leto’s performance when Suicide Squad hits theaters on Friday.
