DCEU movies: Ranked Worst to Best

Aquaman is due to hit theatres in a week. In order to celebrate its release, here is my ranking of the DCEU. The DCEU has been quite divisive with fans, with some loving it and some hating it. I find myself in the former category. I do like what the creators have done with these films (Most of the time) and I am looking forward to where the DCEU goes from here. At the moment, the DCEU has only released 5 films so this will be a ranking of them rather than a top 10 list. Just to be clear that this list is my own personal opinion and may differ from your own personal list.

5. Suicide Squad (2016, David Ayer)

I'm not going to say that I hate this movie, I actually do enjoy it for what it is. However, I can't really say this is a good movie. The pacing is so fast that it's difficult to really get into the story, the dialogue is sometimes just laughable, and the action is inferior when compared to other movies in the DCEU. This was mainly down to a serious re-edit of the film which really threw it way out of proportion. With bad editing and under-developed characters, Suicide Squad doesn't hit the same quality as other Superhero films.

4. Justice League (2017, Zack Snyder, Joss Whedon)

It says a lot that the two films with the most studio interference are at the bottom of this list. Whilst I did give this film a glowing review upon first watching it last year, my opinion on the film has changed since then. Particularly with what has come to light on how much this film was changed in reshoots and editing. And because of this, it’s really affected how I personally feel about the theatrical release. I do like the film overall, it really feels like fans were robbed of an incredible cinematic experience and were given something that was just okay. The film is still quite fun to watch, with some character interactions being quite cool. But overall, it feels like a load of wasted potential.

3. Man Of Steel (2013, Zack Snyder)

The one that started it all. Whilst many fans weren't happy with the way Superman was portrayed in this film, as it is quite different from the famous Christopher Reeves portrayal of the character. But I thought this was a really good modernisation of Superman’s origin. Taking inspiration from other modern interpretations of the story, such as Birthright and Earth One. It has stunning visuals that take you out of this world, Superhero action unlike anything before it and a unique Superman. Also, Han Zimmer’s Score is absolutely incredible! Definitely worthy of Superman!

2. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice (2016, Zack Snyder)

This film split fans down the middle. With many arguing over the quality of it to this day. Personally, I love this movie. I will agree that some of the criticisms people have made about this film are legitimate, overall, I think this is an incredible film! It takes DC's biggest characters and pits them against each other, whilst also serving as an interesting character study for both of them. With a Superman conflicted about his role in the world and a Batman so angry that he abandons his morals. With great action scenes that are visually amazing, great acting from the lead actors and a compelling story. I really think that this film is one of the most under-appreciated superhero films ever made.

1. Wonder Woman (2017, Patty Jenkins)

The most well-received movie in the DCEU so far, by both critics and audiences. And deservedly so. Whilst Batman V Superman introduced the character, it was this film that expanded on who Wonder Woman is and what she stands for. And you can definitely see how different she is from Superman and Batman and yet just as important as them in the world of DC. With some of the best writing and visuals in the DCEU so far, Wonder Woman is an amazing movie that best reflects why audiences have loved this character since 1941. Also, the film helped show how female superheroes are just as good as their male counterparts, something that the genre had been struggling with until now. 

 So that's my list of ranking of all 5 currently released DCEU movies. What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Leave a comment down below. And, if you liked this post then you can follow this blog for more content. Thank you for reading!

SDCC 2018. Top Five Movie Trailers

SDCC has come and gone, and with it, a whole load of movie trailers have dropped for fans to sink their teeth into! Overall, it seems that Warner Bros. dominated the convention, bringing in new content from most of their divisions, such as DC, The Wizarding World and their Monster Universe. So, without further ado, here is my top 5 list of the movie trailers that were released this year for Comic-Con. 5. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald The hype for this new chapter in the Wizarding World continues with the latest trailer. Whilst the trailer doesn't really reveal a lot more than the previous trailer it does give us some good moments. The beginning with Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as a child showing his greatest fear is working behind a desk or that Dumbledore (Jude Law)  sees Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) in the Mirror of Erised. We even get to see new beasts, such as the strange cat creatures, and the first look at Nicholas Flemel, the creator of the Phil...

San Diego Comic Con 2016: Top 5 movie trailers

Comic Cons happen all the time around the world. From New York to London. But no matter what, the one Comic Con that gets all the big headlines every year is the one in San Diego. Home of the famous Hall H, people all over the world gather to take part in the event. And where big movie studios come to present their work to fans. For this post I'll be looking at the top 5 movie trailers that premiered at Comic Con this year. No.5: King Arthur I think that just about every generation has grown up with some version of the Arthurian legend. Whether it's live-action film, television or animation. But this trailer looks like a different take on the character then we've seen in a while. Giving Arthur more of a chip on his shoulder by being raised on the street. Charlie Hunham seems to fit the role quite well, judging from this first look. Guy Ritchie has placed his own personal style onto it, which I personally like. I think he did a very good job re-imagining Sherlock Ho...

Superhero films of 2017

The Superhero genre has been growing heavily in since the turn of the Millennium. With Marvel Studios dominating the box office, DC slowly building the cinematic universe (Or quickly, depending on who you ask), and Fox having success with their Marvel characters. In fact, this genre is so strong that I had to completely remove it from my list of 10 blockbusters coming out in 2017, as they would have simply consumed the list. With 3 Marvel movies, a Fox Marvel movie, 2 DC movies, an animated DC movie and a Power Rangers movie coming out this year... Yeah. We're gonna be swamped! This list is ranked from what I'm personally least anticipated to see to what I'm most anticipated to see. I hope you enjoy. 8. Thor: Ragnarok The God of Thunder returns with the third instalment of his trilogy. With Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston returning in their roles, but also, Mark Ruffalo joins the cast reprising his role as Bruce Banner A.K.A: The Hulk. Suggesting a loose ada...
