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.

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.

3/4

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.

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

Bad pacing, horribly chopped-up story structure, and dull forgettable action.

"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.
