The Suicide Squad feels like the twilight of the age of superhero movies, making way for a new form of megablockbuster to exchange places.

Gunn’s script, while never as clever as it believes itself to be, is rarely dull. It might not linger in the mind the way it wants to, but there’s no denying that The Suicide Squad represents a step in a better direction.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 5, 2024

It is a deeply political and culturally critical movie about the state of the world without ruining the fun. The movie plays with the callousness and dispensability of life sacrificed for the US government’s policies, which are not idealized

Gunn kept audiences on their toes with action that could have been ripped from the comic books, humor that was sharp and landed hit after hit, and still a surprising amount of heart that made it easy to cheer on these mischievous characters.

Gunn’s fans can dig into The Suicide Squad and its rejuvenation of the DC Universe — even if the movie, like its director, is more committed to a good time than a long time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2023

... funny, gory, energetic, and marvelously absurdist. What else would you expect from 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn?

Imagine Tarantino directed an R-rated version of the live-action Scooby-Doo film with a CGI shark and you get The Suicide Squad.

EVERYTHING I WANTED & MORE! It’s hilarious, entertaining, surprisingly emotional but brutal/bloody at the same time! James Gunn not just crafted one of my favorite comic book movies once again, he created a flat out Creative WACKY EXPERIENCE

The phenomenal cast elevates the overall picture with fantastic performances all-around, though Daniela Melchior's breakthrough performance is an absolute standout. James Gunn just can't seem to miss.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 25, 2023

The material is bonkers enough to let Gunn play with stereotypes, employ fresh visuals, and use this versatile cast to deliver crazy sequences that go overboard on purpose.

| Jul 22, 2023

Cascading with carnage, The Suicide Squad is shamelessly silly and savage while tapping into gruesome imagination.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 23, 2023

The Suicide Squad isn’t a subtle film, in its violence, or its themes. There is a lot to unpack with this film regarding the American prison system, American Interventionalism, and what it means to keep the peace.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 13, 2023

If you are looking for a film that improves on every misstep that its predecessors made, The Suicide Squad is that film. You will laugh, you will wince, you will aww, you may even cry, as you are sucked into the magic of a rated-R James Gunn film.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 16, 2023

Everything I'd hoped it would be: it was funny, shocking, violent — it was everything you'd want in a movie about expendable supervillains, and so unlike anything else we've seen in the genre.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 6, 2023

It isn’t that you don’t believe the people in the film, but that the situations are so outlandish, they could have only originated on the comic page and that alone should be worth the price of admission.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 26, 2022

"There is so little that is new or surprising in this genre, that it takes true innovation to get anywhere close to the inventiness that makes these films truly sing."

| Nov 19, 2022

Ferociously funny and devilishly cool.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2022

The Suicide Squad is the most fun you’ll have at the movies all summer, as James Gunn serves up a gloriously gory and gut-busting superhero spectacle.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

Even with its flaws, the film has this uniquely raucous and chaotic pulse and once you get in sync with it you can’t help but have a good time.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022
