The Suicide Squad Ratings & Reviews
- Mr. D18 February 2025Surprised like hell that I like this.

- Manuel Frangis13 April 2025I just watched The Suicide Squad, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars. This movie is loud, messy, violent, and completely unhinged — and somehow, that is exactly why it works. It is like a giant comic book exploded in the best way. It is not trying to be polished or serious. It is just pure chaos, and for a movie like this, that actually feels refreshing. Right away, it is clear that this is not your typical superhero movie. The characters are wild. The action is nonstop. And it does not take itself seriously for even a second. James Gunn knows exactly what kind of movie he is making here, and he leans all the way into it. The humor is dark, the tone is unpredictable, and it keeps surprising you over and over. The cast is packed with weird and over the top characters, and somehow they all fit together. Idris Elba is great as Bloodsport. He plays it cool but also brings some emotion to the role that makes you care. Margot Robbie is once again awesome as Harley Quinn. She is unpredictable, hilarious, and has some of the most entertaining scenes in the whole movie. John Cena as Peacemaker is another standout. He plays the character so seriously that it ends up being hilarious. The way they all bounce off each other is one of the movie’s biggest strengths. The action is crazy. There are explosions, wild weapons, and fight scenes that go all out. Some of it is brutal, some of it is just plain ridiculous, and some of it is actually pretty clever. The visuals are colorful and wild. It feels like a graphic novel came to life, but in a way that still has heart underneath all the madness. The movie is also surprisingly emotional in certain moments. Even though the characters are mostly criminals or complete oddballs, the movie finds a way to make you care about them. It gives just enough backstory or connection between characters to keep you invested, even if you are laughing or cringing at the same time. That balance between chaos and heart is what makes it stand out from other action movies. The pacing is strong. It moves fast and does not waste time. There are a lot of characters and subplots, but it never feels like it is dragging. The story is simple enough to follow, even with all the insanity going on. And just when you think it cannot get any weirder, it does. I give The Suicide Squad 4 out of 5 stars because it is fun, fast, and full of personality. It is not perfect, but it is one of the most entertaining comic book movies I have seen in a while. Overall The Suicide Squad is a wild ride that delivers big laughs, big action, and a whole lot of unexpected moments. It is not for everyone, but if you like your superhero movies loud, violent, and full of weird characters doing even weirder things, this one absolutely delivers.
- George K.27 August 2025Genuinely one of the greatest superhero films ever made. 9.5/10
- Joel10 July 2025Felt like my 4.5 rating was a bit high for this movie so had to rewatch before my James Gunn ranking. Happy to confirm that this movie still absolutely slaps. Gunn just knows what he’s doing. Now I’m just wondering if he’ll bring Margot back as Harley Quinn or not for the DCU thought.
- Zokkiie17 March 2026You can’t help but get sucked in right away. It’s wild, colorful, and full of energy, and the cast makes it even more fun to watch. A few jokes don’t quite land, but it barely matters—there’s so much personality and style that it just carries you along. Messy in the best way, and way more entertaining than you’d expect.
- Recordedsnake26 February 2026The Suicide Squad is bold, chaotic, and wildly entertaining. It blends brutal action, dark humour, and unexpected heart, making its band of misfits strangely lovable. Stylish, gory, and unapologetically fun, it doesn’t take itself too seriously and that’s exactly why it works. A loud, explosive ride from start to finish.
- MamboNumber520 February 2026Peacemaker. What a joke. 😡
- DocteurPhil20 February 2026One of my favorite from james Gunn
- pipanni8 September 2025Miles ahead of the other attempts to portray the Suicide Squad, this instalment is goofy, campy and a lof of fun. Each character has a distinct personality and the cast and the special effects are all top notch.
- Nathan Magreta22 July 2025This movie is a lot more silly than the first, but James Gunn did his magic and made a great movie despite it being super silly
- danrinelli25 November 2025Fun movie! Action packed, dark humor, a good time.
- flavo4322 November 2025The Suicide Squad is James Gunn unleashed in the best possible way. The opening beach assault sets the tone immediately: it’s shockingly violent, grotesque, and yet so absurd that I honestly couldn’t stop laughing. The sheer audacity of that sequence almost brought me to tears—from laughter, not sadness. Gunn has this uncanny knack for taking misfit, comic-book oddballs and turning them into chaotic, bloody fun with just enough heart peeking through the carnage. Here, he sprinkles that same magic over a bunch of D-list villains, and somehow it works: King Shark, Ratcatcher 2, and Peacemaker all become weirdly memorable. The film is a riot of colour, gore, and dark humour that feels far more confident and intentional than its 2016 predecessor. Sadly, even this burst of creative success couldn’t save this particular version of the DCEU, which is why Gunn had to wipe the slate clean and start again with Superman.
- Daiken Seige17 November 2025This is such a fun popcorn movie. In my opinion Peacemaker is the best part and John Cena was born to play that char. The rest of the cast is amazing as well. The only part of the movie I wasn't to big of a fan of was Staro. That creature has almost destroyed the Justice Leaguem. Thinking TFX could take it down is a far fetch. But this is still an entertaining movie
- Arthas Menethil9 September 2025It's a hot mess of garbage, and not everything needs to be humorous. The jokes don't even land. I'm not looking forward to Gunn ruining things.
