Every DCEU Film Ranked From Worst To Best
11. Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad is a shockingly bad movie and there really is little benefit to this one beyond its undeservedly excellent cast, who all nobly do their best despite the awful material.
This movie is infuriating on two main levels. Firstly, taken on its own terms, it's a hollow, ugly, badly-edited, plot hole-ridden and abysmally-written mess of an action film with one of the worst finales and worst villains the superhero genre has ever given us.
But secondly, and more importantly, when you consider how much promise this movie seemed to have before its release, the underwhelming final product feels even more painful.
The strong marketing campaign suggested something different, something funnier and something a bit more adult. Instead, we got a PG-13 film that was honestly just a very typical, boring and unexciting cliche-fest that concluded with yet another beam-in-the-sky finale and also reduced the much-hyped new iteration of the Joker to a glorified cameo.
So yes, this is the worst DCEU film so far. Will it ever be knocked off that podium? Well, given that the DCEU has a nasty habit of alternating between successful instalments and duds, never say never.
