WTF?
I guess that an honest appraisal would require reading the original script to determine the difference of what was on paper to what actually got produced, but it would be hard to justify this incoherent mess.
This is not to say that this movie was TOTALLY unwatchable, but for me it was more of an exercise in seeing how good my predictive powers were. Not so good but only because almost at every point when I thought that there might be attempts to redeem the plot the writers would fail. One example: that scene where the Squad retreats to a bar in a break in the action. Maybe this could be used to build some sort of camaraderie especially in the face of a clearly inhuman enemy which if anything would be even less tolerant of the aberrant behavior of Squad members or even against their inhumane director, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis who was all but wasted in this role), but no, just disjointed conversations between Squad members.

I was entertained.

TOS and I saw it a few pages back. Really powerful, phenomenal movie. The two best actors in the Marvel landscape really delivering at the top of their game. Definitely not a feel good movie though, but both brutal and moving.

Not a bad horror film, and well done from a production design aspect. But as soon as the credits started rolling, I asked the fatal question, "If this was supposed to have happened, how did this supposed footage make it back to Earth?"

DO suspend your disbelief and get over it. It's a movie, they used that line as a plot device.
To me, that NEVER literally meant we only use "10% of the physical amount of brain" we have. To me it was always like some kind of hyperbole, meaning we only use a small amount of the capacity we have.
Some people can improve themselves given the chance.
And some people refuse to believe scientifically proven facts and get elected to be in charge of stuff. Those use less than 10%.

I thought the joke, or conceit, of the film is that the audience must turn off even that 10 percent if it is to accept the story.

I just thought of it is a cute film where a hot, but initially ditzy, girl turns into a total badass.

You do NOT complain about "percentages of the brain". You just don't. Don't do it.

I never knew John Candy was in that until now.

Definitely a cool film, even if it had been partly spoiled for me. It definitely had the old Star Wars vibe to it, though. I know why they had to end it the way they did (and that was one heck of an ending), but it was still a bit of a disappointment. These were some of the better characters I've seen so far in these newer Star Wars films.

I liked the tall robot.

K-2SO was definitely one of my favorite characters in that film. He was what C-3PO should have been IMO.
