Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Gunn’s screenplay doesn’t shy away from political commentary while he’s generally having a blast righting the Squad ship left floundering in 2016. It is no surprise that this Suicide Squad has a very Guardians feel.
  • Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
    • Excerpt: The Suicide Squad is a ton of fun, that is no surprise. What is a surprise is how much I was able to connect with the characters, and find some genuinely subversive theming.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: There’s so much stuff crammed into this superhero movie that it’s impossible not to be entertained.
  • MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: Spanks the 2016 film and sends it off to the corner to think about what it did. This one is the definite article: Gory, grim, bleakly funny. Full of feverish, anarchic energy and exhausting cynicism.
  • [New] | Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
  • Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
    • Excerpt: I think [Gunn] stretches himself too thin by the end’s contractually obligated vomiting of computer-graphics, but the jokes and action prove more than enough to compensate.
  • Matt Oakes @
    • Excerpt: James Gunn’s ‘The Suicide Squad’ is a marked improvement over the original feature in nearly every quantifiable sense but for a movie that’s all about offbeat characters bucking convention, the film’s DNA oddly adds up to little more than your garden variety comic team-up flick…but with blood and swear words.
  • Eddie Pasa @ Gunaxin
    • Excerpt: James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad hits like a sledgehammer wrapped in whoopee cushions and slathered in KY Jelly.
  • Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: Including so many characters and so much action and so much gore and so much swearing has only made “The Suicide Squad” feel like a BIG yet somewhat empty film.
