10 Reasons Suicide Squad Sucked More Than Batman V Superman
And you thought Doomsday sucked...
Suicide Squad is finally here... and what a disappointment it is. Critics have been giving it reviews consistent with Batman v Superman's shockingly negative notices, and while in some aspects it betters BvS, for the most part it's safe to say that it can't even live up to that film's modest level of "success".
Suicide Squad is a mess of a film and proof of the power of strong marketing: everyone hoped it would help redeem the DC Extended Universe ahead of the upcoming Wonder Woman and Justice League movies, and yet the end product is the worst of the three DCEU films to date.
Fans will surely be debating its merits (or lack thereof) for the foreseeable future, but it turns out that the general belief that "it can't be any worse than BvS" has been categorically proven wrong.
Here are 10 reasons Suicide Squad is worse than Batman v Superman...
10. The Villains Are Terrible
You thought Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor was an over-affected calamity and Doomsday was a disaster of CGI and rushed logic? Just you wait.
Suicide Squad's two main villains are Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) and her brother Incubus, and they make the aforementioned antagonists seem positively terrific by comparison.
Though Enchantress' introduction early on is admittedly pretty great, things fall of a cliff quickly once she hatches the plan to resurrect her brother and spends the rest of the movie awash in atrocious CGI and sporting a hilariously over-the-top, hammy accent.
Incubus meanwhile never graduates beyond being a generic CGI beastie, and his battle sequences are even less inspired than what we got from Doomsday.
This is without even mentioning Enchantress' forgettable, zombie-like baddies that the Squad has to take on earlier in the film.
There's a good reason why the villains have been downplayed in the movie's marketing, because they just can't hold a candle to the "heroes". After what we got here, you'll be begging for Luthor and Doomsday to come back.
