A tonal mess with good characters..

| Aug 7, 2023

The film’s reputation is worse than its actual quality, but it’s still not good enough to hold a candle to what James Gunn did with the characters in 2021.

| Jun 16, 2023

Bad pacing, horribly chopped-up story structure, and dull forgettable action.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

The result is dull, predictable, and feels more standardized than one would imagine, given the subject matter and its attempts to be the DCEU's wildcard.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 11, 2022

Suicide Squad is a step in the right direction for the DCEU. Is it perfect? No. Is it flawed? Yes. Is it entertaining? Hell Yeah!

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 14, 2022

At least the soundtrack is good, with such gems as "Sympathy for the Devil," "Fortunate Son" and "Without Me." But it makes sense that no one thought to include Ozzy Osbourne's "Suicide Solution," since Suicide Squad isn't the answer to anyone's prayers.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

It's plain to see now that the burgeoning comic book movie wars are over almost as soon as they began. DC seems to have no clue as to how to properly use its characters, while Marvel keeps chugging along, laughing all the way to the bank.

Director David Ayer plays with a rogues gallery of bad guys in this lurid bit of superhero fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 9, 2021

Taken at face value, Suicide Squad is an argument for recruiting fascist scum to fight in America's wars overseas and, presumably, at home. Anything goes in the fight against "terrorism."

DC Comics' latest addition to their burgeoning cinematic universe fails in several rather spectacular ways.

| Feb 11, 2021

Suicide Squad had a lot of potential to be something different and exciting in the very familiar superhero movie genre. Instead, it's just another incoherent mess...

| Dec 23, 2020

It's baffling that this movie struggled with its storyline to such a distressing degree.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 5, 2020

We loved how the entire film had a very recent and modern-day feel to it, especially in the choice of clothing and slang...

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Nov 20, 2020

Suicide Squad falls remarkably short.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

Once again, DC has made a film that feels less original and more like they're just mimicking what they see Marvel doing. Its tone is all over the place and we aren't given enough time to get to know the characters so we can care about their fates.

DC seems to be confused in what tone to choose in their recent movies. Suicide Squad would have benefited from a "R" rating uptick.

Suicide Squad may look like candy, and it's not entirely sour, but that doesn't make it sweet.

| Original Score: C | Jul 2, 2020

Suicide Squad [has] a lot more bright spots than its reputation leads you to believe.

| Jun 29, 2020

It is truly disrespectful to the viewer that a superhero movie as stupid as Suicide Squad is shown in the movie theaters. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jun 26, 2020

The movie is a series of introductions that last about half an hour and then it's the third act.
