At seven half-hour episodes, the series can also feel overstuffed with information (it lays more track for the DCU than you might think), and character details are sometimes jammed in seconds before they matter to the story at hand. But 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.
As playful and irreverent as most load-bearing franchise entrants are ponderous and weighted down by obligations to a larger narrative. An ultra-violent, profane antihero story isn’t exactly light in the tonal sense; still, “Creature Commandos” is refreshingly unburdened.

It’s a great show, each episode takes time to introduce you to one character at a time while still holding firm to the overarching story, it is the new start of the DCU cannon and it is a fun time to watch it’s funny at times it has good humor points it has a good amount of violence but it does not shy away from anything even the more disturbing parts of these characters backstories and each backstory gives you more insight and even care for the characters you see, an amazing start to hopefully a great new DCU

It’s a strange show, but an effective and endearing one.
James Gunn’s classic recipe of lovable weirdos, great music, and lots of jokes and violence is on full display, but in a new, fresh way that’s presented well in animation. Its intentional immaturity doesn’t always pay off, but it’s not nearly enough to weigh the series down.
The new series has all the laughs, emotion, and memorable characters that have already established Gunn as one of the biggest and most reliable names in the genre. If this series is any indication, the future of the DC Universe is in very good hands.
This adult cartoon monster mash is an enjoyable time, but it doesn't quite rank as James Gunn's best work, and could have used an extra spark to stand out more from what its creator has done before.
So much of this show doesn’t work. The plot is spelled out in exposition in the show’s first five minutes. And sure, there are a couple of twists, but this story is paper-thin—no two ways around it.
After seeing the first two epsisodes, i think it's early to give a final score to the show. So far it's not bad, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. It's got a lot of potential to gives us a fun show, some of the characters like GI Robot, Rick Flag and the Dog character (don't remember the name) are very likeable. Let's see what the next episodes bring.

Average at best, although I'm struggling to think of a positive other than the animation looks nice, I guess. As a big DC fan myself, these are still pretty obscure characters and I don't really care about any of them. The story doesn't even really start to form until episode 4 and the tone is often unfunny and cringy with tons of extreme violence (which I'm fine with but it's an odd mix). As much as I want to like it, Creature Commandos does little to command my attention.

Great idea, nice animation, awful plot armor for so many characters, infantile use of powers that follow no logic from one episode to the next, contrived teleport of characters constantly...
I loved The Suicide Squad, I loved Peacemaker, I loved the first act of Guardians 3, but it has never been more apparent that Mr. Gunn is a one-trick wonder and is unable to write anything different from his common and repetitive tropes. Which I would have been fine with this time around as well, but the writing was soooooooooo awful that the endearing tragic stories of some characters cannot save this mess of a show with no story whatsoever.
