Every DCEU Movie Ranked From Worst To Best (According To IMDb)
7. Suicide Squad - 6.0
Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn was entertaining in Suicide Squad, almost single-handedly influencing the 2016 Halloween scene and earning her own spin off for 2020. In terms of positives to take from David Ayer's DC debut however, this was about it.
The story made little to no sense and was riddled with plot holes, the soundtrack, particularly the opening shuffle of songs, was jarring at best, and the less said about Cara Delevingne's June Moon/Enchantress the better.
What was possibly most disappointing about the movie was that the marketing campaign made it look like an incredible, fun filled, almost Guardians inspired movie, heavily featuring the brand new iteration of the Joker. What we got couldn't have been further from this, and any movie that reduces the Clown Prince of Crime to a ten minute cameo deserves a score this low.
For the moment there is a lot of buzz around James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, scheduled for release in 2021, but there is confusion over whether it is a reboot or a sequel. Though it has been described as the former previously, the presence of several returning characters makes it hard to comprehend. Hopefully the new movie can lessen the bad taste left by the 2016 version, and stop the fact that Amanda Waller knows Bruce Wayne's secret from being completely irrelevant.
