'Peacemaker' Receives 93% Certified Fresh Rating on Rotten Tomatoes
Another win for James Gunn.
The reviews are in for James Gunn‘s latest DC Comics project Peacemaker, and it’s amazingly positive.
Shortly after the series debuted on HBO Max, critics have given the show a whopping 93% certified fresh rating over on Rotten Tomatoes, with many praising Gunn’s approach to a diabolical yet hilarious character, played impeccably by John Cena. The show’s audience score isn’t weak either, clocking in at 86%.
“Peacemaker skewers the superhero genre – with respect – and serves up something different; an unconventional, laugh-out-loud romp that’s as rude as it is enjoyable,” says top critic Randy Myers, while Nerd Reactor‘s James Nguyen says “James Gunn has crafted a heartfelt, twisted, absurd and violent series with a fun cast and one of the most comical opening intros.”
Chicago Sun-Times‘ Richard Roeper added: “Brimming with references to DC characters such as Harley Quinn and Aquaman and brutally frank jokes about real-world figures, Peacemaker is a James Gunn creation through and through…”
For fans of the DCEU, Peacemaker is now streaming on HBO Max.
