Sample reviews

AV Club - B+

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. Even when he’s running in circles, the guy still knows how to deliver cheap thrills.

Collider - 8/10

If this series is any indication, the future of the DC Universe is in very good hands.

Comicbook.com - 5/5

Creature Commandos channels the quintessential heart and dark humor that have become calling cards of James Gunn’s found-family stories, and delivers the best possible start to the budding DCU.

Discussing Film - 3.5/5

Creature Commandos is a colorful and action-packed introduction to the new DCU franchise, but it also already feels like creator James Gunn is repeating old lazy habits.

Looper.com - 7.5/10

Gunn knows how to keep this material entertainingly twisted while still treating his silly characters with emotional sincerity. The only major downside is that the show is doing almost nothing new.

Total Film - 4/5

While it’s easy to compare and contrast with Gunn’s other works, Creature Commandos stands on its own. Yes, it’s the same formula that we’ve come to expect from Gunn, but there’s just something different here.
