After watching John Cena performance in “The Suicide Squad” movie last year and after it was announced that a series was on the way I didnt take too much stock into it. Not that i have anything against John Cena or the character I just didnt make the time to get excited about it. But one day at the gym a couple of buddies of mine were telling me how great the first 3 episodes were and i got interested. I just finished the Show “Reacher” on amazon prime and after that show i decided to give Peacemaker a chance and I am very happy that I did. The action is on point, fight scenes are intense as hell, the humor is something straight from a college frat house and the easter eggs and Dc Lore is amzing to watch unfold.
Peacemaker is once again recruited for another mission with a lask luster Task Force X team to help stop a secret invasion and almost everybody knows what is going on…every one except Peacemaker himself. When he dives in more into the mission the more back story, bad history and bad blood rises out of Peacemaker in a very funny way.
As a big time comic nerd i couldnt tell you anything about Peacemaker. All i know is when the job needs to get done, he will get it done one way or the other. When i see Peacemaker in action he reminds me alot of a more Jock like Punisher and John Cena does amazing job of bringing that aspect alive on this show. Even though John Cena is a mega star at this point in his career, i think this role is the one most people are going to really remember him as post wrestling career.
The overall supporting cast has great moments in the show and they carry their own weight and help elevate John Cena in the show. Each character brings a unique trait to the show and they deliever quite well. I honestly didnt have any issues with any of the characters and alaways excited to see what was going to happen next with each character. Also the cameos in the show are amazing.
The show starts off hilarious with the intro. The dance scene in the intro is perfect and they did an amzing job. Even Robert Patrick gets in on the dance scene. James Gunn who is a hit or miss with me knows his dark and violent comedy and he never misses a beat. Say what you want about the guy but he does a great job of bringing not so very popular characters from the comics and bringing some life to them on the big or small screen and giving them alot of great humor material to work with.
Overall Grade i actually give Peacemaker a Solid A and do not have any gripes with this show. I am really looking foward to seeing season 2 and I cant wait to see what James Gunn has in store for the DCU. If you haven’t seen the show yet I promise you, you will not be dissapointed. But if you have please leave a comment and let me what you liked or disliked about the show. Later this week I will leave my spoiler free review of “The Batman”. Until thank you for taking the time to read this review and trust me I already know there is a thousand reviews for thks but it means a great deal to me that you took the time to read mine. Until next time be safe and enjoy life. Peace
