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” 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 Anstey A @RT14910313 1d Great and nostalgic movie. People on the internet hatinh but the theatres were cheering and enjoying. People cam review bomb this as much as they want suicide squad was a solid 7,5/10 at least. See more Sabih A @RT57875922 2d "Rough Watch." Suicide Squad was a rough watch for me. The tone is messy, the story is all over the place, and the characters never click the way the movie wants them to. It tries to be edgy, funny, and serious at once, and none of it lands. The editing is chaotic, the pacing uneven, and the whole thing feels like it keeps restarting without finding direction. Some performances are fine, but nobody gets enough depth to make the team interesting. The villain is weak, the stakes feel fake, and the action isn’t memorable enough to cover the writing issues. There are a few moments that show potential, but they’re buried under noise and confusion. In short: A messy, unfocused, poorly executed superhero movie that never finds its identity. A clear 1 star. See more Dylan H @Bweefi 2d Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn See more James I @RT46746552 5d I like this movie. Yeah its a mess. But I like something about it. Plus Batman is in it and those scenes are all great. See more Read all reviews
