A PROMISING START WITH JAMES GUNN TRADEMARKS AND AN EXCITING PREMISE
:wavy_dash::wavy_dash::wavy_dash::wavy_dash:
:white_check_mark: Things that pass: Characters, Look, Music, Memorability, Expectations, Replay Value
Mature and twisted comedy á la James Gunn; an exciting title sequence; John Cena fully embracing the role of the awkward anti-hero; the killer soundtrack, filled with rock´n roll goodies; a plot that deals with the fallout from The Suicide Squad (2021) and fleshes out Peacmaker as a character, particualrly regarding his human relations; the Hanoi Rocks nod; Cena dancing to The Quireboys in his undies; an amazing final fight scene.
:wavy_dash::wavy_dash::wavy_dash::wavy_dash:
:part_alternation_mark: Things that fall in between: Story, Emotions, Pacing, Novelty
Swearing, sex and maturity just for the sake of it rather than as a natural part of the story; loads of initial puzzle pieces and introduced plot threads, but no clear direction for the series; a slower second half.
