Man of Steel-Not a fan of Superman so this movie held no interest to me.
Batman v Superman-Way better than I expected.
Suicide Squad-What a pile of crap. Will SMith was his normal horrible self. Margot Robbie can't act. Add in the "hey it worked in Guardians" crap soundtrack.
Justice League-Still haven't seen this.
Wonder Woman-It is worth seeing. but nothing special.
Aquaman-Worth renting but that is it.
Shazam-Need to see this.

Man Of Steel: Alright. Solid. I know people didn’t like all of the way Supes/Clark was portrayed but I thought it was an alright base to springboard from. Some stupid shit. The pa Kent shit. But, particularly at the time, I was happy we had a solid Superman flick.
DOJ: I liked it. It’s a lot of popcorn fun. It’s a bit much. Especially at the end. Has some stuff that’s great to re-watch..(a lot of Batmans stuff) and a buncha stuff that’s lame.
SS: just such a f***ing mess. I kinda liked it. But the performances are so up and down. And the films a mess. And the villain sucks. And it should of probably been Joker. And they should of cast a talented actor who actually decided to do his f***ing job and put in the work rather than give a surface, masturbatory performance, come off Ike a douchebag to his co workers, and really help derail the film as a result.
WW: Thought it was fine. A fine flick. Probably the most solid all around but still like, just “alright stuff”. Like honestly on the level of most of MCUs shit but, like a lot of the MCU stuffs reaction, I was expecting a lot more than what it was.
Haven’t watched Shazam or Aquaman. Probably will once they hit HBO.

Honestly enjoyed all of them, loved Shazam and Wonder Woman the most but i had fun with all of the movies despite the many faults! Then again im easily pleased and love all the characters in the comics so my opinion probably isnt the best!

MoS: Forgettable. A lot of stupid decisions but definitely not the worst of the bunch.
BvS: Most disappointing movie I've ever seen in my life. No hyperbole. Snyder should have immediately been out on his ass after this shitshow.
SS: Dumb. Like, everything about it was dumb. Peoples motivations, forming the team in the first place, the inclusion of Joker, the obvious reshoots, pitting a guy with a boomerang and a woman with a baseball bat against a goddess who could destroy the planet, killing off the best character to insure that any potential sequel will be worse... Just dumb.
WW: So much better than my expectations allowed me to hope for after the last three films. I was ready to give up on the DCEU entirely before this one came out. Even if the plot was generic, it was still greatly executed and proved you could get more success out of stories that are true to the spirit of the character as opposed to being a mockery of your characters.
JL: They tried to fix it, but too little too late, and frankly some of Whedon's additions were just as stupid as Snyder's. Better than BvS and SS, but still nothing that I'm ever going to watch again.
Aquaman: See Wonder Woman; much better than I thought it would be, and very well deserved for a character that's been the butt of so many jokes over the years.
Shazam: Felt like something completely different, and I appreciated that.

Really love Suicide Squad. Fun movie and I enjoyed Harley Quinn. Looking forward to the Birds of Prey movie.
Wonder Woman was very good
BvS pisses me off. Took a story that writes itself and turned it into a boring mess. I have no idea what they were thinking. Was like watching a local band who thinks they sound like Metallica but they really suck,

Man of Steel - Loud. That's my main memory. Goddamn loud. Some good bits but mistakes cynicism for grit and bombast for epic.
Batman v Superman - Flashes of inspiration amidst so much wrong, like diamonds in particularly stupid cement. Tries to squeeze everyone into a grim Batman-shaped mould and suffers from a villain more irritating than anything plus a tacked-on finale.
Suicide Squad - neon, garish, dumb. Some flickers of style (love the smokey body horror of the early Enchantress) fight again a brick-dumb plot and risable dialogue.
Wonder Woman - still my favourite, nice mix of the Amazon fantastic and the grounding mundanity of WW1. Was disappointed by the ending, though, really swept the legs out from under the moral message, I felt.
Justice League - kinda like a low grade MCU flick, like a Thor Dark World, in that I found it pretty entertaining even if not really that good. Cyborg looks awful as well. The 'evil' Superman bit was worth it, though.
Aquaman - inspired in places, rock dumb in others, points for ambition though and I kinda like it. With added Dolph Lundgren!
Shazam - actually let down by it, I was hearing a lot of good things and it really didn't do much for me. Nice message but botched execution.
Ranking, I'd probably say Wonder Woman - Aquaman - Justice League - Shazam - Batman v Superman - Man of Steel - Suicide Squad.

Man of Steel: The action scenes are enjoyable. Nothing special though. Zod and Faora are pretty cool.
Batman vs Superman: Awful. The Trinity actors are good with what they were given but they were mostly given shit.
Suicide Squad: Stupid but I don’t hate it. Leto’s Joker is terrible though.
Wonder Woman: Pretty good. The first DCEU movie I wasn’t totally disappointed in.
Justice League: I’ll say this much about it, it was nice to see Cavill get to actually act like Superman, and he was perfect for it. Too bad they waited until it was probably too late.
Aquaman: I liked it. Wouldn’t call it one of the greatest comic book movies ever or anything but it was an enjoyable watch.
Shazam: Probably my favorite of the DCEU movies. Genuinely funny and fun movie.

I’ve seen BvS, Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Aquaman. And I really enjoyed them all. The packed theatre I was in for BvS gave it a standing ovation... the only time I’ve ever experienced that in theaters. I felt like giving it a standing ovation once that CF finally ended.

Man Of Steel - My tickets were free and I still felt like I wasted my money.
BvS - Only seen the Theatrical cut. Thought it was more boring than bad. Saw it after Wonder Woman, so her epic eye roll during Luthor’s Greek God speech made me laugh.
Suicide Squad - Entertainingly idiotic. It’s completely stupid but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have fun
Wonder Woman - A great movie.
Justice League - A fun movie. Really want a Flash movie based on Not Grant Gustin’s performance in this.
Aquaman - I liked this a lot. Really interesting mythology to Atlantis, creative fight sequences, a shocking variety of cameos.
Shazam - I absolutely loved this movie. Saw it Twice in the theater, which I almost never do, I liked it that much

Man of Steel- Decent idea, really bad execution. Blown potential
Dawn of Justice- 5 minutes of "well that's interesting" and the rest of the movie is ehhhhhhhhhh at best. It's difficult to watch even as a background movie now.
Suicide Squad- Only redeeming factor is that it's not as bad as Justice League
Wonder Woman- Enjoyed it.
Justice League- They could make a movie about all the shit wrong with this movie and it would no doubtingly be better.
Aquaman- Fun movie.
Shazam!- What probably looked like the worst movie on paper a couple years ago is now the best movie in the current DCEU. Great movie.

Haven’t watched Shazam or Aquaman. Probably will once they hit HBO. Aquaman just hit HBO this past weekend. I'll have to make time to see it since I heard a lot of good about it, even though I've never been the biggest Aquaman fan.
Did you see it with WB executives and Zack Snyder's extended family?

Man Of Steel- Was really excited for it, and it got off on a good foot, then about halfway through it gets completely Snyderized and it's just guys throwing each other through buildings. We get the dumbest Pa Kent ever. Superman doesn't kill. Full stop.
Dawn Of Justice- Maaaaaan f*** everything about that movie.
Suicide Squad- Proved to me that you cannot tell people's backstories through music. Especially when you're doing it for roughly 749 characters. There should be a law against David Goyer being in Hollywood.
Wonder Woman- Definitely the best of the bunch. Wasn't expecting anything from Gal, and she killed it. Still a stupid end of movie boss fight, but it can't kill Diana walking across No Man's Land kicking everyone's ass.
Justice League- This movie honestly shocked me at how much better it was than i was expecting. It was a hodgepodge, but they did their best trying to erase the Snyder stink over all of the characters. Say what you will about the shitty CGI moustache shenanigans, but that opening scene was actually really sweet. It was great seeing Superman being Superman again. F*** the Snyder Cut. Bury it in the well that Sadako from Ringu is in.
Aquaman- I still can't believe they made an Aquaman movie and that it turned out good.
Shazam- Need to see it still, really want to see it. It looks like so much fun.

Man of Steel: Really liked what they were trying to go for, with Clark being the anonymous stranger helping folk in trouble while finding himself. Third act was horrendous and felt shoehorned in.
Dawn of Justice: I liked it. Not sure what all the fuss was about from press and fanboys. It was pretty good. Doomsday and Wonder Woman felt shoehorned in. A theme here?
Justice League: Was OK. Not bad, not good. Silly mark out moment was the Miles Dyson actor from T2 creating the Cyborg. Crossover? I can rewatch it.
Wonder Woman: Liked it but can't remember a damn thing about it!
Not seen the rest. Actually surprised there's a number of films in the DCEU when you think about it.
Edit - caught the last half hour of Suicide Squad on TV. Remember thinking "WTF is that all about?" rather than "I need to watch this from the start"

Man of Steel: Mediocre Dark Knight leftovers. Henry Cavill’s Superman is relatively easy to root for compared to BVS, but among other things, the Krypton sequence of the first act seriously drags, the third act relies heavily on gratuitous destruction porn (as if Zack Snyder et al are screaming “Does this remind you of anything?!”), and everything else is simply not very engaging.
Batman V Superman: One of the worst superhero movies of the decade, and further proof that Zack Snyder doesn’t/didn’t deserve to be the Kevin Feige of the DCEU. Superman is apathy inducing (to the point where you don’t feel sorry for him when he loses his faith in humanity), Batman is an easily manipulated brute (and it’s disappointing to see this one kill just like other live action Batmen; I’d forgive this if the movie was any good), and Eisenberg’s Luthor might just be the worst in the history of this character’s movie and tv interpretations. Then there’s creative decisions like the taunting jar of piss and the “MARTHAAAAA!” scene. People say that the extended edition is better, but I won’t waste my time considering there’s too much about this movie I hate.
Suicide Squad: A little better than Batman V Superman, but still terrible. There’s still plenty wrong, like Leto’s godawful Joker, and painting the title team of super villains as being not so bad, despite the numerous utterances of them being the bad guys. There’s also the decision to make the big bad a mystical threat instead of a more grounded one, when the latter would’ve would’ve been more appropriate for a team of enforcers that are not Justice League caliber.
Wonder Woman: Really good, a step in the right direction for the DCEU. Diana is a very engaging character; her idealism is endearing, you feel bad for her when it’s shattered, and when she decides to fight in the name of love despite the world around her, it’s a heartwarming moment. Plus that No Man’s Land sequence.
Justice League: A lot better than BVS and SS, but still a crappy misstep for the DCEU that would’ve torpedoed the good will generated by Wonder Woman, were it not for the next two movies. I will give it credit for trying to do damage control with Superman’s characterization, although that might have to do with Whedon’s writing.
Aquaman: Reminds me in some ways of the Fast & Furious movies. Not particularly full of substance, but that doesn’t hurt the movie too much because it’s just so much fun. One of the strongest points is Aquaman himself; he might not be comic accurate in characterization, but Momoa’s Arthur is a likable bro.
Shazam!: The best of the DCEU. Good action, funny, and has a nice message about family.

Mos. How do you screw up superman?. Great casting, horrible direction. Bvs. Starts with a great set up as to why Batman hates Superman then flushed it'd all away. Thank got for the swimming pool Easter egg, gave me something to smile about. Suicide. Not great but a fun popcorn movie. Justice League. Was a fun movie, didn't mind it at all. Aquaman. Too long. Could have been great but too many stories being told at once. Shazam was cute and better than I expected. WW was the crown jewel of the DC movies
