Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Creature Commandos features a ton of James Gunn’s trademark wit and sweetness, lots of gleeful destruction, an adult-animation-worthy helping of boobs and butts and stuff, and for comic book heads, a shared visual aesthetic and the deliberate centering of oddball characters straight off the page.

Season 1 Review:
While the third time isn’t exactly the charm — this is the least imaginative, least ambitious, and least integral of the three — its easy-going, character-first approach to another story about incarcerated criminals thrust together to save the world largely works to its advantage.

Season 1 Review:
As playful and irreverent as most load-bearing franchise entrants are ponderous and weighted down by obligations to a larger narrative. An ultra-violent, profane antihero story isn’t exactly light in the tonal sense; still, “Creature Commandos” is refreshingly unburdened.

Season 1 Review:
Episodes in the back half of the season seem to race towards their conclusion, resulting in a moderately anti-climactic finale. Otherwise, the show is a bloody and brash good time. If "Creature Commandos" is the first showcase of what's to come in the Safran/Gunn DC universe, then color me excited to see what's next.

Season 1 Review:
While Creature Commandos doesn’t reach the same emotional heights as Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad, primarily due to its shortened runtime, the series is still a fantastic chapter in the DCU. It has the perfect mix of humor, violence, and heart we love in previous R-rated Gunn projects while showcasing how crispy animation can look in DC Studios productions.

Season 1 Review:
At seven half-hour episodes, the series can also feel overstuffed with information (it lays more track for the DCU than you might think), and character details are sometimes jammed in seconds before they matter to the story at hand. But even with all these messy feelings and messier body parts flying around, Gunn’s monster mash achieves the level of gravitas it so often seeks.

Season 1 Review:
James Gunn’s classic recipe of lovable weirdos, great music, and lots of jokes and violence is on full display, but in a new, fresh way that’s presented well in animation. Its intentional immaturity doesn’t always pay off, but it’s not nearly enough to weigh the series down.
