What to Know

Critics Consensus

Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren't enough to save the disappointing end result from a muddled plot, thinly written characters, and choppy directing.

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

For all its cast and crew's inglorious chest-thumping, Suicide Squad is a failed, forced exercise in - of all things! you had one job! - ensemble chemistry. Go to Full Review

Based on the screening I attended, I can attest that audiences seemed to genuinely enjoy the jokes and get swept up in the action sequences. Go to Full Review

Suicide Squad isn't offensive or scandalous: its problem is simpler and more obvious. It fails, shot by shot, to become the film it promises from its very premise. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

“Suicide Squad” is a case of two hemispheres of tone and purpose that become problematic in cohesion and comprehension. Go to Full Review

Big Red 07/21/2023 Cool to see the characters on the big screen See more Heel365 09/17/2021 the main part was this is what Ghostbusters should've been See more Sir Martimus U @RT45602972 2d While it's not a perfect movie, it has style, it's cool, and it's fun. All things that Man of Steel did not have. It's been done better since, but still, introducing a group of bad mf's with cool abilities always just feels great to watch. See more Madam D @Madam1948 2d Since I don't know any of the characters it was confusing. The stunts, music & special effects were good. See more BRADY T @BRADY1169420 6d I was 12 years old when I saw this film and I loved it it was a really great film and I really enjoyed it See more Carter H. @quality_finds Mar 13 Cant believe Im giving over 1 star, especially with the whole non human entity stupidity But I have to give it to the cast, Harley and Deadshot, as well as Killer Croc, phenomenal performances even tho Killer Croc was CGI Other cast members were pretty good, definitely not Jared Leto’s act But the story wasn’t really the best as good as Harley Quinn was Also the movie wasn’t fully boring it was kind of entertaining But the movie was overall a good idea other then the non human entity, just not done well Good idea, bad movie 1.5 Stars generously See more Read all reviews
