Critics are already despising Suicide Squad? WTF?

Hello! Any feedback is more than welcome!
Look... The Nostalgia Critic already made a good video explaining why critics "think differently" from "normal people". In the reality, critics are just like you and me... They see a film and make a analysis of what they like and don't like, however, if you had to see all the movies the were released at cinema in a certain time period... With a constant frequency... The chances are you might get tired of certain aspects ("cliches") that those films might have.
No wonder why our opinion can be so different from them! However that of course can vary, and at times... It may happens that both common audience and critics you either hate or love a certain film. Can the opposite occur? Can the common audience identify that something is not right in a movie, and critics are not noticing? I would say no... However... Now I legitimately think that: Yes, critics can be so amazed until the point they will love something the is clearly really bad.
~AHAM Ghostbusters 2016...
But yeah... Opinion still opinions. They may be helpful in certain doses to give us a referencial to guide our experience... Like when you ask someone: "What do you think?" or "What would you choose if you were me?"... However, those opinions might be... Painful in other cases... It's confusing.
Anyway, you may be wondering... If that's the case, does that mean that critics actually liked Ghostbusters 2016 and hated Suicide Squad? From what it looks like... Yes. The problem with "DC's expanded universe" so far, is the fact that they don't market those movies really well.
They insert A LOT of hype on their upcoming movies, and also give away too much detail of what might or will happen in the actual film, Batman V Superman is a proof of that.
I mean, lets be honest with ourselves, by the time Batman V Superman hit cinemas we already knew: that Wonder Woman was in the film, they would show a few things about the upcoming Justice League movie, Lex Luthor would give birth to Doomsday... Besides the "death" of superman that was already a know thanks to leaks and speculation... What was new and ground breaking on this film? I don't know... Ask people who bought the Blu Ray edition.
And the hype is another problem... It is a thing that needs to be generated by the audience itself. I'm not saying that the filmmakers can't give a little push to see if their production sticks... Otherwise... The film might end up as a lost not so well known jewel... Like Kingsman: the secret service adaptation for the silver screen. However... Insert tons and tons of hype to end up with a film that doesn't answer these expectations is also a HUGE mistake.
I HOPE that DC CHANGE the way they advertise and market their films... Otherwise... They will definitely kill their own Cinematic Universe.

I think the biggest issue with DC is that they try too hard to ride on the hype that Marvel generally creates and it just simply does not work for them as well as Marvel. That's my two cents on the matter however.
