Critics Consensus

John Cena's still in solid form in Peacemaker, leading a bloody good time that gives writer-director James Gunn full permission to let his freak flag fly.

Peacemaker: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Scott Bryan BBC.com You can tell theyve had an awful lot of fun with it. Rated: Must Watch Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Peacemaker: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Rafael Motamayor Observer Butts get kicked, friendships are solidified, and we get the best joke in the DCEU to date. Mar 31, 2022 Full Review Peacemaker: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) It’s a crass, gunge-smothered action romp and a moving drama about the death of the American Century: come for the thick, gooey substances, stay for the substance. Rated: 4/5 Mar 22, 2022 Full Review Peacemaker: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net If only Peacemaker had the self-awareness to go into a full Joel Schumacher or Paul Verhoeven-style satire, it would be all the better for it. But that kind of poignancy, unsubtle as it is, feels out of place here. Rated: 2/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Peacemaker: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jonathan Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast It's fantastic; one of DC's best. James Gunn brought the action, the heart, everything I would want in a superhero show, and he does it while making me laugh and think and feel. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 6, 2023 Full Review Peacemaker: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Archika Khurana The Times of India Overall, the characters are not ones you will completely adore or despise, but by the end, you will feel connected to and care about each and every one of them.

Audience Member DIE HÄSSLICHSTE KUH DES UNIVERSUMSPeacemaker wird nach Operation Star Fish wieder zusammen geflickt um für seine nächste Mission bereit zu sein. Denn Amanda Waller schickt ihn und ein Team was ihm helfen soll los um außerirdische Butterflys zu finden und zu eliminieren. Doch Peacemaker kämpft mit sich selbst, seinem Vater und der Frage ob das was er tut wirklich für Frieden sorgt.Peacemaker hat 8 Episoden mit einer Laufzeit je Folge von ca. 40 Minuten und ist ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier die direkte Fortsetzung der Geschichte von Peacemaker, der wieder gespielt wird von John Cena. Für mich war das eine Serie mit sehr viel Licht, aber auch Schatten. Von allem war gefühlt zu viel drin, vor allem mit dem Humor kam ich oftmals nicht klar. Was daran lag das auf ruhige und ernste Momente ein Witz kam der unnötig wirkte.Die Handlung dreht sich um das ergreifen und ausschalten von Aliens die Menschen übernehmen können. Für das ausschalten wird Peacemaker gerufen, der hat aber eine Identitätskrise und kann nicht immer töten. So haben wir die Figur in The Suicide Squat zwar nicht kennengelernt, aber macht die Figur etwas runder, nicht besser. Die anderen Charaktere reichen von in Ordnung wie Emilia die gute Action liefert, über Adebayo die gleich mal alle Diversitäten reingedrückt bekam, hin zu Vigilente denn ich am meisten mochte weil der (im Gegensatz zu Peacemaker) durchzieht. Die Bösewichte wie die Aliens sind halt da und der Vater von Peacemaker (Robert Patrick) der wohl das rassistischste Arschloch der Welt ist, ist zwar klasse aber ist auch nur für einen Konflikt da der erzwungen wirkt.Am Ende bleibt eine Serie die durchaus Spaß macht da sie gute Action liefert und einige Charaktere sind durchaus gelungen. Der Humor ist mal in Ordnung und mal zu gewollt, wie so einiges, daß zieht sich leider komplett durch.Von mir bekommt die Serie 7,5/10 Punkten. Die Cameos im Finale sind ganz nett und bekommen einen verdienten Spruch gedrückt. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Gavin C Cheap CW quality costumes. Poor acting. John Cena’s character was more fleshed out but a complete 180 from the film I watched him in before. The same tired comedy and most don’t land. The gore is about the same. Undercut with comedy so it has no impact on the audience. After a while I already figured out the twist of the show and knew who was actually an alien. Wouldn’t watch this again. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Tania S Edglord humor that appeals to neckbeards and people with the attention span of a toaster. The plot is paper thin, filled with crude one liners to mask as writing. The characters are NOTHING like their comicCounterpart and the shock value kills is just that. By the end, when the poorly cgi butterflies show up it’s laughable. The JL cameo made no sense but just to throw them in at the last second and strangely several aren’t even there but blacked out. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Audience Member Hilariously out of control! More please! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Michael B Some decent action but way too many terrible attempts at comedy. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Laze T Just watch it so bloody goooooood... Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
