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 X R @Xrizto 5d Was this directed by committee? A great premise with possibly a potential for a plot ends up being a spectacle for the cerebrally compromised. Considering Will Smith chose this over the Independence Day sequel therefore pretty much removing the character continuity and the franchise: Will Smith as Will Smith once again, I struggle to see how only he could do this role. Cara Delevingne, perhaps if you had been allowed to show character depth it would have been fair but no, you were there for your looks, they were not interested in seeing if you could act. Jared Leto - OK good consistency with others who played the role, but was he an afterthought? I just don't know what they were thinking with this movie. Destroy a franchise by termination prior to birth. See more Lennox B @RT20632496 May 7 Call me crazy I really dig this movie. I think Jared Leto and Margot Robbie have amazing chemistry. Best joker and Harley since animated series in 90's. It's darker guardians of the galaxy I love it watch it. See more Gabriel D @gabethetwentyonepilotsenjoyer May 7 this movie is absolute shit, but the soundtrack bangs, and this is the reason why i even started listening to twenty one pilots, which is one of my fav bands till today, still, a bad movie See more Dillard D. @DillonDill Apr 29 Suicide squad will make you wanna commit a Suicide See more Read all reviews
