Every Margot Robbie Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
24. Suicide Squad (2016)
Every now and then, incredible performances can get trapped in terrible movies that simply didn’t deserve them. Margot Robbie deserved better than David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and David Ayer’s Suicide Squad damn sure didn’t deserve Margot Robbie.
As Harley Quinn, Robbie’s performance instantly became legendary. Almost overnight, the character was everywhere. You couldn’t move at Halloween without seeing a handful of the psychotic killer, and she was by far the best aspect of this disappointing DCEU outing.
The film did its level best to try and drag Robbie and Harley down with it, with more than a few shameless shots that were there for no other reason than sex appeal, but even so, her performance rose above and stood out for all the right reasons. Harley was insane, she was funny, she was compelling, and she even managed to be sympathetic within it all.
Back in the early days of the DCEU, Harley Quinn was arguably the most popular character in the franchise right next to Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, but she was trapped within one of the worst comic book movies in recent memory.
