20 Highest Grossing Movies Of 2016 - Ranked Worst To Best
13. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
Box Office: $873.3 million (#6)
As disappointing as Suicide Squad was, it was nothing on the jaw-dropping level of Batman v Superman, even if the latter is a slightly better film through sheer virtue of its epic premise.
A year ago, nobody could've ever foreseen a showdown between these two characters grossing less than $1 billion worldwide, and yet general dissatisfaction with a studio-butchered edit, nonsensical plot, bizarre character motivations and messy third act (which was mostly given away in trailers) sank it for a lot of fans.
Take it away from fanboy circles and it's really not the Worst Thing Ever, merely an exceptionally disappointing film that still has its moments of entertaining bombast and visual grandeur. And it's hard to deny that Ben Affleck was an excellent Batman.
