Critics Consensus

John Cena's still in solid form in Peacemaker, leading a bloody good time that gives writer-director James Gunn full permission to let his freak flag fly.

Butts get kicked, friendships are solidified, and we get the best joke in the DCEU to date.

4/5

It’s a crass, gunge-smothered action romp and a moving drama about the death of the American Century: come for the thick, gooey substances, stay for the substance.

Cena impresses with his vulnerability on display, and the 11th street kids are better than ever. The multiversal elements feel warranted and important, and while the humor doesn’t hit as hard, there is so much to love about how personal it all feels.

2/5

If only Peacemaker had the self-awareness to go into a full Joel Schumacher or Paul Verhoeven-style satire, it would be all the better for it. But that kind of poignancy, unsubtle as it is, feels out of place here.

4.5/5

It's fantastic; one of DC's best. James Gunn brought the action, the heart, everything I would want in a superhero show, and he does it while making me laugh and think and feel.

Peacemaker Season 1 is an absolute blast! Hilarious, brutally violent, and surprisingly emotional, with John Cena delivering an incredible performance. The characters are lovable, the soundtrack is iconic, and the humour is peak James Gunn. A fantastic mix of comedy, action, and heart!

One of my three favorite superhero shows, along with Hawkeye and Daredevil. Season one was better than season two, but season two was also good.

So I had recently just sat down to start to watch the DCU that is just starting out. I know most of the first season is not canon but the character is which is why I watched it. I had already seen Superman and already saw Supergirl as well. Also had watched Blue Beetle so figured it was time to watch this series. Loved it. John Cena really proves he can pull of serious moments and funny moments. Loved a lot of the after credit scenes. And the dynamic between the team was awesome
