More Fan Reactions From New SUICIDE SQUAD Test Screening
Apparently there was another test screening of David Ayer's Suicide Squad, and now fans have revealed their reactions on social media. There are even a few who went into more detail on their experience...
Just a few weeks ago, some lucky moviegoers were able to watch an early test screening of David Ayer's Suicide Squad. Many of the fans took to social media to talk about their reactions of the film, which were all mostly positive. Now it looks like there was another test screening of the film in Sacramento, California, and those fans have revealed their reactions of the film.
Aside from the usual fan reactions on Twitter, some Reddit users claiming to have been at the test screening went into more detail on their experience watching Suicide Squad beyond the standard 140-character limit. Many thought that the previous test screening was solely for DC fans, but that doesn't seem to be the case this time around. According to some the Reddit users, the screening was random for random moviegoers.

"This was an advanced screening where we didn't know what the movie was. Initially I thought it was Trek, IDR or Bourne, until the NDA said Warner Brothers on it. I will tell you there was NO standing ovation, but a decent amount of people clapped in the end. In fact, when they first told us we were going to see a screening of the movie, pretty much the whole theater cheered and screamed. At the end, probably only half clapped...which doesn't mean the other half didn't like it, but if this was like a thursday night showing with fanboys, I have no doubt it would have been a much bigger applause...
This is an unfinished cut. There was lots that I really liked, good action, pacing (for the most part). But as I've said there were 2 characters who had a decent sized role in the plot/story that did not connect with me. I could care less about them. They tried for an emotional scene and yea...didn't work. But yes, walking out, I've heard a few people raving about it, and a few just good/pretty good. The person I was sitting next to came with his family and he didn't even know the movie after they announced it (older guy) and he said it was ok. I didn't stick around to hear if anyone had anything bad to say."

"You will like every single member of the Squad, with Harley (obviously) stealing the show. She’s a star and everyone will love her. This is the type of movie that demands a sequel. I’m sure critics will find ways to hate it (it’s basically a gritty action movie with comic book characters and a Hot Topic aesthetic, which honestly might turn critics off), but DC fans will like it. The BIG thing is that the movie literally saves DCEU Batman. This Batman is BTAS personified.”
