THE SUICIDE SQUAD Rotten Tomatoes Score Revealed Alongside A Badass New Poster Highlighting Task Force X

The Suicide Squad review embargo lifted earlier today, and it's fair to say that James Gunn's take on Task Force X has been received quite a bit differently to David Ayer's back in 2016. Check it out...

The DC Extended Universe has never fared particularly well with critics, and there are definitely more Rotten movies than Fresh in that shared world. 

However, it looks like all Warner Bros. needed was a director familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because The Suicide Squad has debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% score! That's based on 47 verdicts from critics, and while there are bound to be some people who don't like the movie (well, possibly), this is an incredible start for the DC Comics adaptation. 

"Enlivened by writer-director James Gunn's singularly skewed vision, The Suicide Squad marks a funny, fast-paced rebound that plays to the source material's violent, anarchic strengths," reads the current Critics Consensus. 

This 100% score is quite a contrast to the 26% that 2016's Suicide Squad has, and in case it wasn't already clear, these two movies are completely different beasts. 

With this news comes a badass new poster for the movie that features several members of Task Force X being bussed into action as Idris Elba's Bloodsport leads the way. The marketing for this movie has been great, and we're anticipating it picking up in a big way over the next week. 

Check out the Tomatometer reveal along with that new poster for The Suicide Squad below:

@marvel72 - Problem was they gave him the pieces of a $400m movie to work with.

@Tasmaniac - Pretty much. If WB had let Whedon throw out all of Snyder’s footage and start from the beginning/Snyder had been fired immediately after BvS, Justice League probably could have been fantastic.

@Tasmaniac - The Snyder Cut is a better movie,the changes Wheddon made,made the movie suck.

@marvel72 - It’s definitely “better” but it was also 4 GD hours long.

@marvel72 - I have to disagree. Both versions are terrible.

The theatrical cut was a mess due to scene rewrites and a new director being rushed in late with little time, studio support and budget to finish a movie that was already a mess.

The Snyder cut is way too long, adds nothing of value for it's extra length and Snyder clearly still doesn't understand what makes these characters what they are.

What I will say about Whedon though is that he does understand Superman WAY better than Snyder does. His portrayal of Superman during the climatic battle is far more accurate than Snyder's super powered thug that just turns up to punch things hard.

I honestly believe that if Whedon were allowed to completely scrap what Snyder had started and was allowed to start from scratch then we would've ended up with a better movie. Whedon may be an asshole, but he understands superheroes and he understands ensemble movie making.

@marvel72 - No argument, but Whedon was handed pieces of someone else’s work at short notice and given a small amount of time and limited resources to Frankenstein them together into a story the studio approved of. Snyder had 4 years(!) to come up with as many revisionist changes as he liked and then complete something that was already his from the start. There’s a massive difference. Especially for a cut that was better than the original but still not amazing, which is what it should have been given the circumstances.

@Tasmaniac - Snyder’s vision was ****, but Whedon only made it worse. He really only knows how to do one thing. A Justice League under his full control would have been a carbon copy of The Avengers and an embarrassment for Wonder Woman.
