An expertly crafted and heartfelt viewing experience with great characters, an excellent sense of humour and a strong grasp of what it wants to be. The large cast is brilliantly utilised with many only appearing briefly to be showcased in a meaningful moment before being brutally dispatched. Read more

Wild, gory and loads of inappropriate fun, James Gunn has managed to make one of the best DC movies to date with The Suicide Squad. This take on Task Force X is full of murder and mayhem, with Gunn delivering shock and awe around almost every corner.

I think it is clear and obvious for all to see that James Gunn was given free rein and creative freedom to do exactly what he wanted, and it turns out that he was the right man to trust the future of the once-stained franchise with. James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is a bloody good time at the movies. Read more

Great sets, cinematography, costumes, stunts, action, comedy, balls, dick jokes, allusions to other great films. The list is long and distinguished. Read more

I’d mentally set myself up to really hate this one. But the opposite turned out to be true. As a comedy it made me laugh like a drain at times, and although some of the violence went somewhat over the top for me, I thought it to be a fine summer popcorn blockbuster (but very much for adults).

Shucking the usual angst and doubt found in superhero movies, more characters than not love who they are and what they do. The very same commitment and lack of pussy-footing can readily be seen by the people making the movie. Top to bottom,The Suicide Squad gambled on love, going all-in for maximum pervasive fun.

The Suicide Squad, from the mind of writer-director James Gunn, is both wickedly entertaining and shamelessly depraved fun set in the DC movie world. Read more

Like in Guardians, Gunn has a lot of fun with the idea of independent chaos agents discovering their consciences when forced to work together in common cause, and it all builds to a climax that is as emotionally satisfying as it is visually thrilling.

It’s no clever film, plot-wise, and some characters are definitely better developed than others, but I didn’t find the disappointments to be devastating. Anyway, the outrageous avalanche of anarchy and energy is non-stop. Read more

Is The Suicide Squad a cinematic masterpiece? It is not. It is, however, a bloody, irreverent good time. Read more

The Suicide Squad is an enjoyable boom-boom, bang-bang comic book movie that while isn’t perfect, certainly makes for a fun day out to the movies. Read more

Some characters don't quite live up to their billing, but the key crew members are as fun a bunch of sociopaths as you could hope to spend a Saturday night at the movies with. Read more

Surprising but too safe this is where this series should’ve been. The beauty is in the chaos of it all. Read more

Het was 5 jaar wachten op revanche, maar James Gunn heeft het voor elkaar en heeft een zeer geslaagde Suicide Squad film afgeleverd. Anarchistisch tot en met met veel over de top actie en humor, maar James Gun vergeet niet dat de film ook een hart nodig heeft en dat zijn karakters ook nog wat menselijke trekjes moeten hebben. Al is dat soms best lastig ;o)... Read more

The Suicide Squad is uiterst vermakelijk en tegelijkertijd de vreemde eend in de bijt als we de DC-films die tot op heden zijn verschenen naast elkaar zetten. Maar daar is het kijkplezier niet minder om.

Al met al is The Suicide Squad een prettige verrassing. De film neemt zichzelf nooit serieus en zowel de cast als de regisseur lijken bakken vol plezier te hebben gehad tijdens de productie. Deze positieve energie werkt aanstekelijk, waardoor The Suicide Squad zeker tot één van de hoogtepunten in het DC-universum mag worden gerekend. Read more

Overzichtelijke actie, overgoten met een goede scheut humor, misschien wel de beste combinatie om een goeie actiefilm te maken. Read more

The Suicide Squad is een dolle achtbaanrit die werkelijk alle kanten op schiet. Het levert een bijzondere film op waarbij de hand van de eigenzinnige regisseur James Gunn, bekend van de Guardians of the Galaxy-films, meer dan voelbaar is en in schril contrast staat met zijn ietwat saaie voorganger uit 2016.
