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.

Samantha Riedel Bitch Media DC Comics' latest addition to their burgeoning cinematic universe fails in several rather spectacular ways. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review K. Austin Collins The Ringer 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. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Matthew Rozsa Salon.com 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. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson “Suicide Squad” is a case of two hemispheres of tone and purpose that become problematic in cohesion and comprehension. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews A tonal mess with good characters.. Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Bad pacing, horribly chopped-up story structure, and dull forgettable action. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Big Red Cool to see the characters on the big screen Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Heel365 the main part was this is what Ghostbusters should've been Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/17/21 Full Review Will J This is a good film in the mess that was the dceu Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Christine B I don't understand why such low ratings. That said, I am not a teenaged or 2-something boy who watches DC Comics. I loved the cast, the backstory that they show you of each of the characters and it moved FAST. If you want something fun and mindless with a great cast, try it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Andy C Super messy plot the whole movie is confusing Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Nicole V I will never understand the bad ratings on this movie! This movie captures the comic book characters in such a significant way with the humorous script and the cast never fail to give a memorable performance. The directory work is nothing short of terrific. It adds to the depth of scenes and immerses you in the movie. The script is funny and it never leaves the audience disappointed. The editing of the movie adds to the theme of it in the best way. This movie is great and I definitely recommend!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
