The Suicide Squad | Reviews
Don't get too attached to any of the Squad's new dysfunctional anti-heroes: everybody's cannon-fodder in this explosion of violence and comedy.

(The) delirious mix of comedy and cartoon violence DC Comics fans hoped for... Full review More fun than last time but still with DC darkness... Full review Not a reboot or a sequel so much as a second chance. Full reviewSouth China Morning Post

Embraces a superhero vibe... and adds elements of workplace comedy, gritty war movie, dysfunctional family drama and kaiju disaster flick...

Bombastic, silly and self-aware...

Sometimes, you just need to watch a humanoid shark tear a man in half.

A good half of the jokes don't land, but unlike his predecessor's joyless slog, Gunn's version at least celebrates the nonsense...

Whichever way you slice it, this Squad... is fun to hang out with.

Gunn's distinct and self-assured vision... puts The Suicide Squad alongside the very best of modern comic-book filmmaking.

It's dazzlingly colourful and riotously crass, but also emotionally alive.

James Gunn gets it. His take on The Suicide Squad is unashamedly silly, but crucially never stupid...

Now that's how you do it.

Gunn gels it together with a wicked sense of humour and an evident affection for his characters...

A.V. Club
In many ways, the gleefully profane, anything-goes mayhem of The Suicide Squad feels like a mega-budget version of the Troma Studios productions that gave Gunn his start. And thank goodness for that.

Only the man who wrote Tromeo and Juliet could deliver something this gleefully grotesque, vicious, and unapologetic, and the DC Universe is all the better for it.

Not a single gag lands and most of them offend. This might actually be worse than the first one.

It is not for children. It's not really for adults either. But the eternal inner adolescent that lives within us all will almost certainly have a swell time.

An absolute blast...

The Guardian
Not everything works here, but the sheer crazy confidence-through-chaos of the Suicide Squad and their bizarrely dysfunctional MO makes for a mighty spectacle.

We Got This Covered
The Suicide Squad is James Gunn at his most unhinged, unrestrained and unleashed, but the result is one of the best DC movies in years.

Film Threat
It’s clear that (Gunn) understands not only the superhero genre but knows enough about the DC universe to satiate life-long fans. Better yet, he knows how to have fun...

James Gunn renders the half-grim, half-absurdist nature of the Suicide Squad with delightfully bloody abandon.

Endearingly sweet, even as it's spilling brain matter and gore by the bucket load.

James Gunn has done the seemingly impossible: He has found the fun in the Suicide Squad.

Gory, sentimental, brazenly adolescent, and never short on imagination...

Not only does it find the nastily enjoyable vibe that eluded its predecessor, but it also tells a story worth following...

The Suicide Squad is cunningly scuzzy, disreputable fun.
