12 Movies From 2016 That Were Unfairly Hated

12. Suicide Squad

Without a doubt one of the year’s most divisive movies, Suicide Squad may have been critically panned but it also somehow managed to rake in a whopping $745.6 million worldwide ranking it as the eighth highest-grossing film of 2016 so far. Proof, if there ever was, of the sometimes huge gulf between film critics and general moviegoers. Its low rating on Rotten Tomatoes riled fans so much that they took to change.org, the leading first-world problems petition site, to campaign for the aggregate website to be shut down.

Maybe the critics were a tad harsh. Some criticisms like sloppy editing and muddled plotline might have been justified. However, others that accused Suicide Squad of misogyny and fetishizing violence seemed like they were unfairly singling out the movie in a genre where violence and sexism are often main ingredients.

In terms of quality while it’s certainly no Deadpool, it’s nowhere near as bad as some of the comic book movie genre’s other recent offerings like the abysmal Fantastic Four. Besides, if the Suicide Squad’s die-hard fans are happy with how the movie turned out isn’t that the main thing?
