Suicide Squad isn't hitting the theaters any sooner than this August 5, but some fans are lucky enough to have already seen it! Yes, the David Ayer flick was screened to a test audience on May 20 at the Century 25 Union City and XD in Union City, California.
As you would expect, the fans didn't know ahead of time what movie they were about to watch. They only knew that they were invited to attend "a new action film coming soon from a major studio". And they also knew that it was rated PG-13.
After watching Suicide Squad, some of those fans took to Twitter to share their reactions. And these reactions suggest that there's nothing to be worried about. The movie has met their expectations.
Here are some of the tweets for you! Oh"¦forgot to mention that these won't spoil Suicide Squad for you. All of them are SPOILER-FREE!

The Joker and Harley Quinn of Suicide Squad praised!
The Joker and Harley Quinn are two immensely popular comic book supervillains, and both are appearing in Suicide Squad. While Jared Leto is playing the newest incarnation of the Clown Prince of Crime, Margot Robbie is portraying the first live-action adaptation of Harley. And the test audience seems to have liked both of them. Check out a couple of tweets about The Joker of Suicide Squad.
@dominicankid88 everyone’s going to have their opinions on this version of Joker but I think he fit the movie’s aesthetics.

The Joker and Harley Quinn aren't alone in being praised by the fans. Deadshot, Killer Croc and other Suicide Squad members have earned some admiration too. Check out some of these tweets:

Don't forget that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice bagged similar reactions from the fans who watched that movie's test screening. So, if you didn't like the Zack Snyder flick, I would advise you to avoid letting these reactions heighten your expectations from Suicide Squad.
