The reviews
Anyway, where the social media reactions were wildly enthusiastic, the question is whether this also applies to the reviews. Fortunately, that turns out to be the case. Here are a few of the many reviews:
The Hollywood Reporter: “Not only does it capture the gruesome, yet hugely entertaining vibe that its predecessor failed to capture, it also tells a story worth following.”
Variety: “The Suicide Squad is delightful and amusing.”
The Wrap: “Definitely not perfect, but like the Deadpool movies, this is also a showcase for what can happen when a superhero movie can be wildly self-aware and sardonic, but at the same time let loose with hard-R violence, gore and foul language.”
ScreenCrush: “The daring adventure that the first Squad should have been.”
Digital Spy: “It’s exactly what we want from a blockbuster: a genuinely unique film that’s the product of a filmmaker rather than a committee. And it helps that The Suicide Squad is hugely entertaining as a result.”
