5. WORST: The Suicide Squad vs. the Enchantress

(Suicide Squad)

As a movie, Suicide Squad ranks somewhere below being punched in the throat.

Its final fight exemplifies this very well. By the time the Squad goes up against Enchantress, the characters have been developed"¦not at all. In fact, when we're shown what Enchantress is tempting them with, we don't even get to see half the team, because they aren't realized-enough characters for the writers to come up with anything.

In addition, and as with the rest of the film, the editing is the kind of trainwreck you'd only get if one train hit another train, and then a third train fell from space and landed on them both. The continuity of the fight is awful, items disappear and reappear at random, and character placement is all over the map. A bigger issue for me is the almost complete lack of personal stakes in the fight. There are plot stakes (the world will end), but aside from Flag, none of the characters have any personal connection to Enchantress. They've never met, they weren't close, there's nothing going on.

It makes for a fight that isn't just messy from a technical standpoint, it's boring from an emotional one.
