What’s obvious from the start is how much of a James Gunn project this is. The writer/director/producer/studio head is known for his ability to give the goofiest, raunchiest characters a bit of heart. He did it with the Guardians of the Galaxy, he did it with The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, and he’s done it here again with the Creature Commandos. Every off-color joke or extremely grisly death is set against a backdrop of sincere character work. Each of the Commandos gets their due thanks to steady pacing and an expert blending of the present-day storyline and backstory for every member of the team. Even the feral Task Force X survivor Weasel gets a tragic flashback! By the end of these seven episodes, I was fully endeared to the entire squad – making the emotions of the finale hit even harder.
