The person who called James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, opening Friday, August 6, possibly "the greatest comic book movie ever made" was reportedly the film's star Margot Robbie.

"How is James Gunn one of the only people that actually seems to know how to make a comic book movie feel like it was built out of a comic book?" Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine
“The most fun and least depressing superhero movie in a very long time.” David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"It’s a film that’s playful in its action in ways that most modern blockbusters aren’t allowed to be." Brian TallericoRogerEbert.com
