Suicide Squad Reviews: 14 Early Reactions You Need To See

So for some people it's like Guardians Of The Galaxy: given the number of times it's mentioned in reviews, there's clearly also going to be a lot of people who equate Suicide Squad with Deadpool. Coming Soon are pretty clear on the parallel:

"And it is just plain funny. This is the Deadpool of the DC movie universe. It is wacky, funny, and action packed and it doesn’t care what the A-list superheroes are doing off to the side of the screen. That makes it a lot more fun and it has a liberated feeling while still being part of that larger cinematic universe."

And HollywoodReporter similarly expresses David Ayer's agenda to capture the same sort of bonkers, zany spirit:

"Part smart-ass genre sendup, part grimy noir that wants to be as dirty as Deadpool but remains constrained by its PG-13 rating, and part short-falling attempt by Warner Bros. to get a big-budget DC Comics mashup right, the film starts with promise but disengages as it loses its creative bearings."

None of that should be particularly shocking: this is DC's wildcard, and it's good to hear they've aimed in the right direction at least.
