15 Most Underrated Movies Of 2016

To blindly call Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice a brilliant film would be to fall prey to the kind of fanboy fervency that gives so many middling movies a pass. But while the film was undeniably flawed, did it really deserve the amount of hate it got? One critic, clearly in hyperbolic mode and obviously one who has yet to see the likes of Green Lantern and Fantastic Four, even went to far as to call it ‘the worst superhero movie ever.’

Let’s give credit where credit is due though. Its plot might be a tad muddled and it might be a more grim superhero movie than audiences have gotten used to, but it boasts a brilliantly brutal Batman in Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot’s scene-stealing debut as Wonder Woman and moreover it’s an ultimately entertaining film – what more do you really want from a comic book movie? While no doubt director Zack Snyder and Co are still reeling from the scathing reviews it got, at least the fact that so many fans went to see it that it currently ranks as this year’s sixth highest grossing movie should soothe the pain a bit.
