- #DCEU #Ranked
Now that The Suicide Squad has been out for a bit. I thought it would be fun to go back and rank all 11 DCEU movies. To some, Zack Snyder's Justice League is the best DCEU movie to-date but I have different thoughts. BvS is another one that really splits the fanbase. Since I don't have any preference between MCU and DCU comics or characters, I can comfortably talk about these movies without a bias going in. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are some of the most recognizable characters around and thanks to the DCEU, Harley Quinn joins the ranks. Do the movies do these heroes justice though? I rank all 11 DCEU movies from worst to best and would love to see your ranking in the comments!

Love your vids Adam! Never fail to make me smile
The Suicide squad is also a good example of comic filmmaking of getting obscure characters and making them interesting
Guardians of the Galaxy basically (I'm not an mcu fan btw, or dceu) just wanted to mention that
@@misterbobby8913 very true as well Leaf, guardians. I mean most characters are lesser known to the general folks who is who the studios are marketing to aside from fans with the exception of the Hulk, spider-man
The " Are we some kind of suicide squad?" joke got funnier EACH FUCKING TIME YOU DID IT!
1. Man of Steel
2. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
3. Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition
4. Wonder Woman
5. The Suicide Squad
6. Aquaman
7. Shazam
8. Wonder Woman 1984
9. Birds of Prey
10. Suicide Squad
11. Josstice League
I think Shazam is far better than Aquaman, and BoP is better than WW84 for sure
@@owenmenning3878 they could go either way for me. I personally like the spectacle and adventure of Aquaman a little bit more over the more grounded action of Shazam.
And Wonder Woman 1984 is a fun adventure movie to me that reminded me of those fun adventure movies of the 80’s. Has its flaws but I personally can overlook them because of the joy it has. Birds of Prey is cool too but is one I don’t revisit a lot. The story is a bit too simple for me.
@@owenmenning3878 agree
the bottom 4 are all on the same tier, why is justice league in a tier of its own? and how are the 3 above it that much better?
Nice list Adam! Here’s mine
11. Justice League - 25% (Awful)
10. Suicide Squad - 45% (Bad)
9. Wonder Woman 1984 - 51% (Mediocre)
8. Birds of Prey - 70% (Good)
7. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition) - 79% (Good)
6. Wonder Woman - 81% (Great)
5. Aquaman - 91% (Awesome)
4. Shazam! - 91% (Awesome)
3. The Suicide Squad - 95% (Amazing)
2. Man of Steel - 95% (Amazing)
1. Zack Snyder’s Justice League - 97% (Amazing)
you're way too generious to birds of pray and aquaman, other than those 2 scores, i like your scores and ranking.
@@crobeastness I can see why some people didn’t love Aquaman but I genuinely did. It was so much fun and I was thoroughly entertained every time I’ve seen it. I honestly think Birds of Prey gets too much hate. It’s not a great movie by any means but I have fun every time I watch it which has been twice. Thanks for your insight though, love to hear other opinions
Agree
Wow. That Stuckmann reference…I caught it. Haha! Great video man.
I like videos like this.. You've got a ton to do.. Start some horror rankings
I never thought I would want to watch anything DC, but now after watching your rankings, I think I'm going to actually watch "Tha Suicide Squad". Thanks Adam!
You should for sure its a really good comedy action film in general
You know what's odd too. The Snyder fans weirdly developed this weird hate for Godzilla vs Kong. Like they were threatened by it. It was freaking weird.
It’s not weird at all, I’ve come across them a lot and they’re hypocrites to the highest, you seriously can’t take their judgment cuz they’re so biased
I'd rather they continue the Monsterverse as opposed to the Snyderverse because the Monsterverse fandom is wholesome.
I think your criticisms of Aquaman are valid, but personally I love the movie. Some of the shots and action are S tier in superhero movies. Its a mixed bag for sure, but the parts that are bad are entertainingly bad, unlike Suicide Squad or Josstice League which are just painful and no fun.
My top 5:
1. Zach Snyder's Justice League
2. The Suicide Squad
3. Wonder Woman
4. Batman v Superman Extended Cut
5. Shazam
Another Great video Adam. Personally, I agree that DC has characters up to par with Marvel, it's just the film execution and most assumedly DC trying far too quick to catch up with Marvels General success instead of taking the time world-building.
Suicide Squad won an Oscar for Make-Up, not for Costumes.
Plus Margot Robbie picked her own costume. :)
And not undeserved. 😉
Josh Whedon was a good director as I know. He got only 2 hours and he should have directed something light in DC.
Still yet to Wonder Woman 1984, Synder Cut and The Suicide Squad but I pretty much agree with everything else in your list. Great stuff as always man!
Yeah I agree, the "what are we, some kind of The Suicide Squad?" joke was great. Another good video chum! Most on your list was spot on! Some placements were a bit off, but that's okay right?
@22:18 Hahaha! Love Stuckmann reference.
I'll be candid I am a DC guy, but in all honesty people treat the MCU like it can do no wrong. Yes I acknowledge that it is one of the most successful film franchises of all time, but critically and just from an entertainment standpoint it has a good amount of lemons in the bunch. Thor 2 and Captain Marvel straight up stunk. And yes DC has some lemons as well. WW sequel stunk for certain. The point is neither one is perfect, but I have always loved DC much more than Marvel, but enjoyment can be garnered from both for sure. Wonder Woman was pure gold.
Your wonder woman theme impression at 14:21 is gold lmao

I think I like your ranking videos the best!
My only complaint is that Shazam is too low and The Suicide Squad is too high.
Shazam is the only DCEU movie that had heart and passion.
The Suicide Squad is great and entertaining but I wasn't able to invest myself in the characters.
Zack snyder's justice league is an epic masterpiece superhero movie ever created in the history of the world cinema. Haters will hate😎😎

7 aquaman
6 Shazam
5 wonderwoman
(Amazing movies
4 Man of steel
3 Bvs ultimate edition
2 the sucide squad
1 Zack Snyder,s jla
I think it's pretty good list since people never agree about these things. Personally I'd have birds-of-prey dead last and put The suicide squad right next to Suicide Squad somewhere to the middle or lower) but other than that I agreed with pretty much everything you said.
Keep it up adam
What you said on BvS I can't agree more...some idiot on a comment told me BvS was better than The Dark Knight 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT
said the idiot
Dope
Can you do Batman movies ranked next??
What the hell Adam. You're not godlike? Just a human! 😱 And I thought your reviews and rankings are like the word from the one above. Not to be questioned in any shape or form. 🙈😁
But there's hope in the Olinger household. His son knows what's up and that The Suicide Squad rocks! Oh, it's the other one. Well that rocks too considering the Soundtrack. Time to throw it on again. 😎🤘🏻
I know it's nitpicking, but considering BvS, is it the Theatrical Version or Ultimate Edition in your ranking? And even if your criticism points would probably still be valid, the Ultimate Edition makes the movie better and longer! And that's all you need, more ZS epicness. 😜
People who complain about Superman killing Zod in Man of Steel forget that Superman killed Zod and his minions in Superman 2.
You're on a roll!
here's mine:
The Suicide Squad
Aquaman (it's not amazing, but it's just so enjoyable!)
Shazam
Wonder Woman (I like it a lot, but the ending just makes me enjoy it less than I'd want it to)
Turkish Airline's BvS ads for Metropolis and Gotham City (that's not a joke, I love these! XD)
Man of Steel
Birds of Prey
the rest.
I haven't seen Zack Snyder's JL and the special cut of BvS, but I didn't even really like Man of Steel, so I'm not just gonna invest another 7 hours just like that into something that I'm confident is not gonna blow me away ...
Now ya got Black Adam, Shazam 2 and The Flash
How is Justice League not number 11
Aquaman is sounderated. I rate it 9/10
The reason Batman v superman is bad is because Warner bros rushed dc into making a Batman v superman early after marvel was doing great. Zack Snyder had to put everything in to set up justice league but with everything happening, it just became a mess.
You are one of the guys who make me happy and laugh without smiling (which means on the inside)
DCEU should be the R rated superhero Cinematic Universe. Now that Fox is also under Disney. I am sad only there are WB And Paramount to produce Experimental R rating
After The Suicide Squad and Nolan movies I also starting to like DC movies waiting for The Batman
14:21 😂🤣
I honestly don’t think WW84 was that bad or considered the worst of the DCEU. I agree it has some dumb moments (So does Aquaman), but I think it’s still better than Suicide Squad or Justice League (2017)
1. Birds of Prey 10/10
2. Wonder Woman 10/10
3. Wonder Woman 1984 9/10
4. Superman 2 9/10
5. The Suicide Squad 8/10
6. Joker 8/10
8. Superman 8/10
9. Man of Steel 7/10
Totally agreed on Man Of Steel! I've waited so long to see Superman going all out in live action. Epic as HELL!! People are constantly crying about the death destruction, but it's multiple people with powers of Gods duking it out. Shit is going to get broken. It's our fault for being so fragile. Lol! How many times do people have to be told "HE'S NOT SUPERMAN YET!!!". "HE JUST STARTED"!!! "HE'S LEARNING ON THE JOB DUMB ASS"!!!
Sorry about that last one. Superman is my favorite hero so I can get a little defensive.
Anyhoo....I spend a lot of time just watching the fight scenes over and over. Seems like that's the only time we'll get to see him going all out in a city every again because no one will have the balls to make Superman action like Snyder. So cherish it.
What if feige worked for dc and warner and started the dceu with batman begins
I thank you for making me understand Man Of Steel
DCEU Ranked:
11: Justice League
10: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
09: Suicide Squad
08: Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition
07: Man of Steel
06: Aquaman
05: Shazam!
04: Birds of Prey
03: Wonder Woman 1984
02: Zack Snyder’s Justice League
01: Wonder Woman
While not great, I'll take WW84 over Birds of Prey and both Suicide Squads any day. And even over Man of Steel.
For the Algorithm
If your Top 3 is not the same as Adam's, you're just wrong. It might not be the same order as his but it should be those 3 films. My order is: MOS, TSS, and WW.
"never go full Snyder" he says about a movie butchered by WB
Zack Snyder justice league next level comic accurate masterpiece 🔥....
Zack Snyders Justice League didn't go through any reshoots though, they only added one extra scene with Jared Leto
Hi Adam, as a Hebrew speaker I'm happy to tell you, you pronounced "Gadot" right.
fucking brilliant stuckmann reference
My ranking:
1. The Suicide Squad
2. Shazam
3. Birds of Prey
4. Aquaman
5. Justice League
6. Batman v Superman
7. Wonder Woman 1984
8. Suicide Squad
9. Man of Steel
10. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
11. Wonder Woman
Agree to disagree with aquaman. Sure the wig is awful, cgi ain't the best, pitbull music is unwanted and bad but everything else I strongly disagree with. If that trench sequence is a problem then so should be the wakanda fight in infinity war, spiderman vs doc strange in nwh, ironman avenging his parents in civil war, hulk in thor ragnarok etc. Black manta was done better than sandman, electro and lizard in nwh so there's that. Even doc oc was a rehash. Aquaman was just as good if not better than ww and tss.
Funny enough, Zach Snyder directed a few of Wonder Woman’s action scenes. Especially the No Man’s Land scene
Zack Snyder’s justice league is best
Amazing list! For me, the Snyder Cut would be close to the bottom. It was pure rubbish. But Man of Steel and Batman v Superman were so terrible, it's hard to say. Other than the 2 Wonder Woman movies (I liked both) I would throw the rest in the garbage.
Adam! My man... Shazam over Aquaman.. Word?.. I cant give you a thumbs down on anything you do but man.. I could not disagree with you more..
I hate that Shazam movie so bad I totally forgot about it..
Man of Steel should have been number one. I did not like The Suicide Squad (2021).
I'll say this, what you said about Shazam is true tho.. it makes me kinda wanna watch it again. I don't know maybe I went into it with the wrong type of expectations and I guess that can happen when you watch all of these MCU movies.
you are a hilarious dude. I watched a Stuckman video today and I was thinking man you and him together reviewing movies I think that would be really good.
"ZSJL is the only movie in recent history that had to be in 4:3"
You didn't see A Ghost Story, The Lighthouse, The Grand Budapest Hotel, American Honey? It is been a while since 4:3 has had somewhat of a renaissance.
Also "tons of reshoots and extras"?? The movie had no reshoots, only additional photography and were pretty much the last 15 minutes.
"Had to" was the claim I heard about ZSL. I know some recent films chose to use the 4:3 for the retro feel. ZSL doesn't have that feel so the aspect ratio is just stupid, full-stop.
I misspoke when I said "reshoots". I can't speak to what was actually done but they burned through an additional 60-70 million right? Clearly things weren't finished. Guessing a lot of that was CG work.
@@AdamDoesMovies yes, most was for the CGI. Makes sense to spend 70 million since it is also 4 hours of it.
And it is not only for a retro feel you want that aspect ratio. As an artist you could want it because of similar reasons why you would go for the 16:9. Because of the height of the frame. For the feeling of a comic book coming to life where you can see the full characters in the shot. Because of using spheric lenses instead of anamorphic. To focus more in the characters than the background (which is something that gives you the 16:9).
I watched the movie with a projector in 4:3 and that only makes it more obvious how this movie should have to be seen in theaters and IMAX. I would agree with you if the frame was cutting what it had from the 16:9. But this is the actual full frame. Even something like Infinity War and Endgame are cutting a lot of their original IMAX picture when coming to Blu-ray in 16:9.
Directors film with the knowledge that the tops and bottoms will be cropped. Most of the time all the viewer is missing is dead space. I didn't get a comic book coming to life feel from The Snyder Cut in the slightest. I would say his work on 300 was much closer to that feeling. Snyder has an amazing eye for this stuff but the 4:3 treatment didn't land for me. Nor does it make for a consistent world when you go from MOS, BvS and then to this Justice League. I'm a sucker for consistency so that was another big negative.
@@AdamDoesMovies I see.
But even BvS had IMAX stuff and not even the first super hero film to jump back and forth from something like 4:3 to the 16:9. Even The Dark Knight had those jumps in theaters. So no problem with consistency there? Or other Marvel movies not fully shot on?
And "dead space"? Why then to even shoot in IMAX in the first place if you end up cutting the top and bottom just to make it fit in the television screens when in theaters you got almost the full shot? It is the same thing as it used to happen with anamorphic movies put into VHS. They would cut the sides. Why? Because people didn't like to see black bars on the top and bottom... Now it is considered a "film look" when in reality it is not. It is the same problem unless you have a projector or a 4:3 monitor.
And the framing still works for the 16:9 so if it bothered you so much, you can crop the image by making zoom in on the TV and there you go. A 16:9 that works for 98% of the time (since there are a few shots, like Darkseid's, that were thought to be in 4:3 to present him as a big as possible).
First off, why are you bringing up other IMAX films into this? Yeah, it bothered the shit out of me when one of the Transformers films had the jumps between wide and full screen (the least of those movies problems). The same for Dark Knight in theaters. I'm not sure what that has to do with putting out an entire film in 4:3 or how the two are conflated. That's great you have a projector. The majority of people have widescreen TVs so it would just make sense to use the real estate in a more pleasing way. I'm not a resolution expert by any means but I believe zooming into a picture is going to lessen the quality pretty dramatically as opposed to the film being cropped ahead of time without upscaling the video.
You aren't going to change my mind on the decision to present the movie this way and I'm certainly not changing yours. Good talk.
What do you mean? Everyone loves the Snyder cut.
Birds of prey was a good movie much better than aquaman
The endgame for the dceu is snyder cut
I enjoyed the ww84 overall. The script sucked. No doubt. But for me the acting by gal, Pedro , and Kristin saved the film for me.
I was with you until "coke or pepsi"
Coke is far superior but I'm not going to go online and harass Pepsi drinkers
BvS is great, don't do drugs
Not a fan of zack snyder at all but I think that the snyder fanboys are as annoying as the people that ridicule the guy for no reason. Especially considering other directors/writers like petty Jenkins doesn't get ridiculed at all. Makes me think snyder must've done something terribly wrong that I don't know about.
I rarely see people making fun of Snyder. Patty Jenkins doesn't have the obnoxious fanbase Snyder does. He and the DCEU trend on twitter multiple times every month and these guys claim the films are Citizen Kane levels of brilliant. It's crazy, haha.
@@AdamDoesMovies really? You don't know about hack snyder? 🤔 trust me he's equally as hated as overrated.
Your criticisms were solid btw I just realized that the same thing could've been said about Patty Jenkins that they're good directors but not good writers.
Wonder woman, Shazam and The Suicide Squad are the only good Dceu movies, maybe Aquaman and Man of steel.
I love KING SHARK 🦈
Honestly adam i'd put bvs higher than ww84 because zack snyder accomplished something great with that one-he almost killed and buried a half-assed universe and disrespected two great heros,that takes skill.
Snyder Cut was better than the original, but the amount of improvement is seriously overstated. For one, I'm not gonna pretend this was just the version he had sitting in some vault somewhere. Snyder had like 4 years (since the original released) to let the movie breathe and to hear all the criticisms. Plus, about $70 million for reshoots and edits. And he took the movie from about a D+, to maybe a B- if we're being honest. And it took a ridiculous 4 hour run time to get there. It wasn't as special as people made it out to be.
I think BvS is an atrocious film that burns my eyes to watch..... but I adore The Last Jedi and believe it to be the second best ever star wars.... so what does that make me Adam??... huh?... explain yourself....
You are a hybrid. A daywalker. Blade?
That's so weird and obnoxious take you have there. Flash saving Iris is not that creepy at all. Touching hair due to appreciating the beauty? pfft. Rolled your eyes on aspect ratio but not on letterbox aspect? Big BS. The suicide squad deserves lower tbh.
Shame on you as a critics
DCEU should not be all Snyder.
Oh my gosh bro
