Best Superhero Movies
What makes a Superhero film good? Same thing that makes any movie good. Than you have to add in good special effects. Than you have to have faithfulness to its source material, or originality of concept. Also you have to have a control on the CGI, too much and you have a cartoon. Here is a list in order of what I think are the best.

- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.Perfect Batman movie with a Perfect Joker. Matt Damon as Harvey Dent would have been a better choice.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartIan McKellenHugh JackmanThe X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.Pulls off one of the more complex story lines of any superhero film perfectly. Best thing about it, it was able to erase X-men 3. No explanation of how Professor X exploded and un-exploded.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Gwyneth PaltrowTerrence HowardAfter being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.Not enough screen time of Iron man himself in battle; this got worse in sequels. Terrance Howard got better in sequels because he was replaced.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris HemsworthMark RuffaloThe Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.Improved on the source material which is saying something. Haunting, moving, action packed, and simply good. Structure had one minor flaw other than that would have been second under Dark Knight It bothers me slightly that it was so clear of a better way that no one at Disney spotted it.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansScarlett JohanssonEarth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are going to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity.This movie brings all the different characters together and is able to juggle them all. A Hawkeye movie before this one. Other than his small appearance in Thor, would have been use full. They tried to shoe horn his back story into the second Avengers, unsuccessfully.
- DirectorJames GunnStarsChris PrattVin DieselBradley CooperA group of intergalactic criminals must pull together to stop a fanatical warrior with plans to purge the universe.A more or less obscure part of the Marvel Universe, that is surprisingly entertaining and funny. Strength of the movie is the cast and their interaction lifts it above typical super hero into a comedic hybrid.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsHugh JackmanPatrick StewartDafne KeenIn a future where mutants are nearly extinct, an elderly and weary Logan leads a quiet life. But when Laura, a mutant child pursued by scientists, comes to him for help, he must get her to safety.Finally got a solo Wolverine movie right. Its also better than its source material. The source comic was crude this movie is haunting and heart felt.
- DirectorMarc WebbStarsAndrew GarfieldEmma StoneRhys IfansAfter Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically altered spider, he gains newfound, spider-like powers and ventures out to save the city from the machinations of a mysterious reptilian foe.This film does with Spider-Man what Ultimate Spider-Man comic series did with Spider-Man. Took the weight of a long back story off the hero into a reboot. Gwen Stacy is perfect.
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceIn the 1960s, superpowered humans Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr work together to find others like them, but Erik's vengeful pursuit of an ambitious mutant who ruined his life causes a schism to divide them.Major world events if mutants were involved. A Watchmen for the masses without the cynicaliness and sadness Poor choices in some of the mutants choosen obscure reasoning to bring in Scotts younger brother as his older and having to work around the introduction of Iceman and Angel already are minor qualms.
- DirectorPatty JenkinsStarsGal GadotChris PineRobin WrightWhen a pilot crashes and tells of conflict in the outside world, Diana, an Amazonian warrior in training, leaves home to fight a war, discovering her full powers and true destiny.Its amazing that they could pull off making a good Wonder Woman and struggle with Superman V. Batman. Gal can act. Script is great.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanHalle BerryWhen anti-mutant Colonel William Stryker kidnaps Professor X and attacks his school, the X-Men must ally with their archenemy Magneto to stop him.Tightly story told with tight action sequences. Pacing of the all over story is well done but the villian is not given enough time. Villian has a truly epic quality that is barly touched on.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonPolitical involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.Some of the best fight scenes of any of the Marvel Universe films. Great story and script, it is able to juggle a large cast very well. Introducing both the Black Panther and Spiderman as well as keeping all the balls in the air.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsJackie Earle HaleyPatrick WilsonCarla GuginoIn a version of 1985 where superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach on the trail of a conspiracy that will change the course of history.Adult take on Superheros sometimes isn't treated with adult depth in this film. The few times its is this film is great. The ending is acutally makes more sense than the comic version.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansMark RuffaloAfter the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers assemble once more in order to reverse Thanos' actions and restore balance to the universe.This is overlong. Seems to be a movie written around the contracts ending of some the MCU actors. Slow pacing hurts the story arc. A difficult story to tell but left a few plot holes.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.A realistic take on the superhero sets a tone for the series of films. Weak Scarecrow and Ra's al Ghul performances are followed by a not weak Joker performance in the sequel.
- DirectorTaika WaititiStarsChris HemsworthTom HiddlestonCate BlanchettImprisoned on the planet Sakaar, Thor must race against time to return to Asgard and stop Ragnarök, the destruction of his world, at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain Hela.Attempt to be to funny story should not be taken serious. Merging Planet Hulk into the mix made th movie from being a pure Thor movie.
- DirectorRyan CooglerStarsChadwick BosemanMichael B. JordanLupita Nyong'oT'Challa, heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, must step forward to lead his people into a new future and must confront a challenger from his country's past.Simple story done well.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansSamuel L. JacksonScarlett JohanssonAs Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world, he teams up with a fellow Avenger and S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Black Widow, to battle a new threat from history: an assassin known as the Winter Soldier.Introduces the Falcon as well as some seriously well filmed and edited action scenes.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstAlfred MolinaPeter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a former brilliant scientist named Otto Octavius.The Dr. Octopus battle was simply as good as it got when the film came out.
- DirectorJon WattsStarsTom HollandSamuel L. JacksonJake GyllenhaalFollowing the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man must step up to take on new threats in a world that has changed forever.Mysterio and MJ well done. Movie could have used a little editing. Huge pacing issue of repeating plot points.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsChris EvansHugo WeavingSamuel L. JacksonSteve Rogers, a rejected military soldier, transforms into Captain America after taking a dose of a "Super-Soldier serum". But being Captain America comes at a price as he attempts to take down a warmonger and a terrorist organization.Makes you care about character from the beginning. Red Skull could have been done better.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsWesley SnipesKris KristoffersonRon PerlmanBlade forms an uneasy alliance with the vampire council in order to combat the Reapers, who are feeding on vampires.A sequel that blew away its predecessor.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsRon PerlmanSelma BlairDoug JonesA prince of the mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth. Hellboy and his team must fight to stop him from locating the all-powerful Golden Army.Creates an entire world you enter from the beginning to the end.
- DirectorJames McTeigueStarsHugo WeavingNatalie PortmanRupert GravesIn a future British dystopian society, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of "V", plots to overthrow the tyrannical government - with the help of a young woman.A hero taking on a fascist England. Its far from the normal superhero fair.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsBenedict CumberbatchChiwetel EjioforRachel McAdamsWhile on a journey of physical and spiritual healing, a brilliant neurosurgeon is drawn into the world of the mystic arts.Very well done didn't struggle with its source material. Introduced a new layer into the Marvel Cinematic Universe without a problem. There was multiple ways to pull of the Sorcerer Supreme. They took the Matrix route. I am sure it was the easiest.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonJack NicholsonKim BasingerThe Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker.Good at the time it came out. Bad choice to insert a Prince song as to keep it dated forever. Its tricky to feature pop songs in films it makes them at times not age well. You lock the film into that time period forever.
- DirectorRichard LesterStarsGene HackmanChristopher ReeveMargot KidderSuperman agrees to sacrifice his powers to start a relationship with Lois Lane, unaware that three Kryptonian criminals he inadvertently released are conquering Earth.Not without its faults, the big plastic Superman symbol, the endless product placement and the kiss of forget everything. It is still entertaining and the Donner cut is much better.
- DirectorKenneth BranaghStarsChris HemsworthAnthony HopkinsNatalie PortmanThe powerful but arrogant god Thor is cast out of Asgard to live amongst humans in Midgard (Earth), where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.The coffee house scene and the emergency room scene are both great. Under the stars with Jane and getting drunk are good. Overall it was a tricky hero to pull off and it is done well. Asgard is not fully fleshed out enough.
- DirectorJames WanStarsJason MomoaAmber HeardWillem DafoeArthur Curry, the human-born heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, goes on a quest to prevent a war between the worlds of ocean and land.Odd in parts better than you would think overall. Could have been better. Mantis is good.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansMark RuffaloWhen Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan.Could of and should been better. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are not written in well. Ham handed changed back story. Olsen is not good enough of an actress to pull the character off. Wanda is not the strongest defined Avenger. Her character is more defined by her relationships. They needed a better actress. Strange pacing of the movie makes it lag for periods and go too fast for bits.
- DirectorAlex ProyasStarsBrandon LeeMichael WincottRochelle DavisA man brutally murdered comes back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancée's murder.Low budget take on a pulpy work of art by James O'Barr. Great director and great performance by its star. This film is a real life tragedy of the loss of Lee has scared this movie. As well as its silly tacked on "pass his pain on" nonsense. Should have kept the ending closer to the original material. There are scenes that are frame by frame from the source. Why did it change the ending?
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstWillem DafoeAfter being bitten by a genetically-modified spider, a shy teenager gains spider-like abilities that he uses to fight injustice as a masked superhero and face a vengeful enemy.There is some bad acting here and some bad editing. There is also a sense of joy and a sense of sadness. The two emotions are what make Spider-Man movies great. He is a child carrying grief and guilt. That is trying to make right a tragic mistake.
- DirectorJon WattsStarsTom HollandMichael KeatonRobert Downey Jr.Peter Parker balances his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens with his superhero alter-ego Spider-Man, and finds himself on the trail of a new menace prowling the skies of New York City.This the 3rd reboot of the franchise is a bit overrated in my humble opinion. Keaton does a good job as the Vulture. It is too tightly wrapped up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to breath on its own. Almost as if they knew the last two were independent of it and they tried to force it in every place they could.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsRon PerlmanDoug JonesSelma BlairA demon raised from infancy after being conjured by and rescued from the Nazis, grows up to become a defender against the forces of darkness.Sequel much better but has its moments. Sometimes it seems to think the audience knows things it doesn't. At least I didn't then brings in on the subject, really needed another draft on the screen play.
- DirectorPeyton ReedStarsPaul RuddMichael DouglasCorey StollArmed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, pull off a plan that will save the world.Douglas's performance seems a bit phoned in. Rudd does a good job. The subject was not one of Marvel's A Team heroes but its a better movie than any of the Hulk films.
- DirectorPete TravisStarsKarl UrbanOlivia ThirlbyLena HeadeyIn a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.As close to the comic as could have been done. Really good action suffers slightly from budget and limited scope of the film.
- DirectorAnna BodenRyan FleckStarsBrie LarsonSamuel L. JacksonBen MendelsohnCarol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.Script is horrible, star seems bipolar and confused. Parts without dialog are the good parts.
- DirectorJames GunnStarsChris PrattZoe SaldanaDave BautistaThe Guardians struggle to keep together as a team while dealing with their personal family issues, notably Star-Lord's encounter with his father, the ambitious celestial being Ego.Sequel lets its characters down with poor script and pacing. Characters are still stand out. Humor goes blue in spots for cheap laughs. Kurt Russell is given a script that repeats his lines so frequently it sounds like one of the songs. Aside from its problems the characters from the first are still strong.
- DirectorRichard DonnerStarsChristopher ReeveMargot KidderGene HackmanAn alien orphan is sent from his dying planet to Earth, where he grows up to become his adoptive home's first and greatest superhero.Pompous epic and grand a huge production that even had Marlon Brando in it. Funny and action packed at times and other times just doesn't work. Ending was just dumb.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanIan McKellenIn a world where mutants (evolved super-powered humans) exist and are discriminated against, two groups form for an inevitable clash: the supremacist Brotherhood, and the pacifist X-Men.Pretty much just a setup for the much better sequel. Perfect casting offset a rather weak story. Great scenes and frequently right after awkwardly written ones.
- DirectorTim MillerStarsRyan ReynoldsMorena BaccarinT.J. MillerA wisecracking mercenary gets experimented on and becomes immortal yet hideously scarred, and sets out to track down the man who ruined his looks.Like a little kid who can get away with swearing, Marvel went over the top a bit in their first 'R' rated film. The CGI rendering of Colossus was another problem.
- DirectorAlan TaylorStarsChris HemsworthNatalie PortmanTom HiddlestonWhen the Dark Elves attempt to plunge the universe into darkness, Thor must embark on a perilous and personal journey that will reunite him with doctor Jane Foster.Takes the heart out of the first one and replaces it with much more action and a larger story.
- DirectorStephen NorringtonStarsWesley SnipesStephen DorffKris KristoffersonA half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires.Doesn't know what it wants to be winds up being a bit of B-movie. The much superior sequel shows what it could have been. There is an alternative ending that needs to be seen to be believed. They really had no idea what they were doing when they made this movie.
- DirectorDavid LeitchStarsRyan ReynoldsJosh BrolinMorena BaccarinFoul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (a.k.a. Deadpool) assembles a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg Cable.Better than the first one; Colussus and suporting case shine.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleTom HardyAnne HathawayEight years after the Joker's reign of chaos, Batman is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane.Poor choice in accents hurt this movie, ruined the villain. Poorly written script takes short cuts and breaks from logic to tell its tale. Good scenes are followed by bad scenes on a alternating basis during the whole movie. Robin and Cat Woman are not thought out and not needed. This mess ends in a unbelievable happy ending.
- DirectorDavid AyerStarsWill SmithJared LetoMargot RobbieA secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to form a defensive task force. Their first mission: save the world from the apocalypse.Some of the characters are developed some aren't; really really bad villain. There should have been a Harley Quinn movie, a Deadshot movie, and a el Diablo movie. The script could not pull all the back stories together.
- DirectorRuben FleischerStarsTom HardyMichelle WilliamsRiz AhmedA failed reporter is bonded to an alien entity, one of many symbiotes who have invaded Earth. But the being takes a liking to Earth and decides to protect it.Lame pacing and bad script, has a first draft feel to it with Hardy being the the best part of it. CGI is good villian is weak.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Mickey RourkeGwyneth PaltrowWith the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father's legacy.There was no reason to create a villain. Stark has plenty from the comics to pick from. The new villain just doesn't have the feel of computer genius. Maybe it was Mickey, who seemed to be cast because of him being on the comeback trail after the Wrestler. Hammer is done well but the focus is on a bad villain,
- DirectorDave WilsonStarsVin DieselEiza GonzálezSam HeughanRay Garrison, a slain soldier, is re-animated with superpowers.Would like to see other Valiant superheroes
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonDanny DeVitoMichelle PfeifferWhile Batman deals with a deformed man calling himself the Penguin wreaking havoc across Gotham with the help of a cruel businessman, a female employee of the latter becomes the Catwoman with her own vendetta.Christopher Walken and Danny DeVito are not given a strong enough script to become a strong enough villain. It becomes a three way battle for the film to focus on as the Catwoman steals screen time. Batman becomes a supporting character in a movie that has some nice scenes but no substance.
- DirectorLouis LeterrierStarsEdward NortonLiv TylerTim RothBruce Banner, a scientist on the run from the U.S. Government, must find a cure for the monster he turns into whenever he loses his temper.Norton and Tyler had no chemistry. There is something in Norton's performance that never lets you care about him. Tyler simply does not belong in this movie. All this boils down to boring video game like CGI battle at the end. There is nothing worse than watching someone else play a video game.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckHenry CavillAmy AdamsBatman is manipulated by Lex Luthor to fear Superman. Superman´s existence is meanwhile dividing the world and he is framed for murder during an international crisis. The heroes clash and force the neutral Wonder Woman to reemerge.Making Doomsday explosive was not a good idea. Had a feeling it was going to boil down to a CGI battle at the end like Man of Steel. Batman is done rather well by Affleck and not the problem with this movie at all.
- DirectorShane BlackStarsRobert Downey Jr.Guy PearceGwyneth PaltrowWhen Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.Ruins a great Iron Man villain and the best Iron Man story line all at the same time. Tony Stark takes over the screen giving Iron Man very limited screen time. This equals a slow moving story. Taking him out of his element simply as a plot device.
- DirectorMarc WebbStarsAndrew GarfieldEmma StoneJamie FoxxWhen New York is put under siege by Oscorp, it is up to Spider-Man to save the city he swore to protect as well as his loved ones.Electro is poorly done and so is the Green Goblin. The best parts of Amazing Spider Man. Peter and Gwen are given limited screen time. Short setup for friendship with Harry rushed into going bad. Completely un-threatening take on the Green Goblin more of a whining kid. Short, clipped, and cliched character for Electro. Really over the top CGI to wrap Electro into a bad boring battle with Spider man.
- DirectorJonathan HensleighStarsThomas JaneJohn TravoltaSamantha MathisAn undercover FBI agent becomes a vigilante and sets out to unleash his wrath upon the corrupt businessman who slaughtered his entire family at a reunion.John Travolta can play a good villain. Sometimes when he is a villain he makes a choice to be a certain over the top villain. It is sort of one his fall back on villain impression number 3. It maybe he simply doesn't understand the character so he acts the same way. He ruins this movie with his performance. There is also a really bad boring ending.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceIn the 1980s the X-Men must defeat an ancient all-powerful mutant, En Sabah Nur, who intends to thrive through bringing destruction to the world.This movie was big chance on a huge story that really wasn't paced or thought out enough. Some good scenes and pandering to comic book fans rather than trying to produce the same quality of the last two. Horrible story line that needed space and should have been told over several movies if was attempted. Instead it is condensed and clipped into slow parts that were needed and not much else.
- DirectorCathy YanStarsMargot RobbieRosie PerezMary Elizabeth WinsteadAfter splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroines Black Canary, Huntress, and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord.Harley is outstanding tons of other characters glossed over
- DirectorTim StoryStarsIoan GruffuddJessica AlbaChris EvansThe Fantastic Four learn that they aren't the only super-powered beings in the universe when they square off against the powerful Silver Surfer and the planet-eating Galactus.The best of the two Alba Fantastic Four movies. Strange slammed together crunch of second act and no need to bring Doom back but they do. Huge plot chunks seem to be missing, and a they don't seem to care about the source material attitude. The same feel as the first one but with a really cool Silver Surfer.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckGal GadotJason MomoaFueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his new-found ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy.Get rid of Zack Snyder save the world. Too many superhero movies turn into CGI battles. The bad ones cross the line into being Video games being streamed by teenagers. Nothing in this movie brings the viewer into it the action where they care. Poor choice of villian also.
- DirectorStephen NorringtonStarsSean ConneryStuart TownsendPeta WilsonIn an alternate Victorian Age world, a group of famous contemporary fantasy, science fiction, and adventure characters team up on a secret mission.Could have been great, too little time spent on character development.
- DirectorChuck RussellStarsJim CarreyCameron DiazPeter RiegertBank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is transformed into a manic superhero when he wears a mysterious mask.More about a show case for Carey than about the Mask character.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsBrandon RouthKevin SpaceyKate BosworthSuperman returns to Earth after spending five years in space examining his homeworld Krypton. But he finds things have changed while he was gone, and he must once again prove himself important to the world.Should have been Superman 3, this film could have used Superman 2's cast. Spacey phones in his performance from a cell phone while driving. The rest of the cast doesn't seem to want to be there either or at least know what they are supposed to be doing. Marsden and Langella being the only two who are taking the movie seriously.
- DirectorTimur BekmambetovStarsAngelina JolieJames McAvoyMorgan FreemanA frustrated office worker discovers that he is the son of a professional assassin, and that he shares his father's superhuman killing abilities.Movie is watching someone else play a video game.
- DirectorFrancis LawrenceStarsKeanu ReevesRachel WeiszDjimon HounsouSupernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine helps a policewoman prove her sister's death was not a suicide, but something more.This cast tries, Keanu tries, the director tries, the movie fails because of a weak script. The ending is very very weak. This is one of those movies that should have ad sequel that would have been better than the first.
- DirectorMark Steven JohnsonStarsBen AffleckJennifer GarnerColin FarrellA man blinded by toxic waste which also enhanced his remaining senses fights crime as an acrobatic martial arts superhero.Poor directory and a studio re-edited movie. That is the problem with this one. The cast is fine and does a good job. The directors cut makes the ending make sense. Crazy they would have released a movie that didn't make sense. Bullseye does what he does making a good villian
- DirectorGavin HoodStarsHugh JackmanLiev SchreiberRyan ReynoldsThe early years of James Logan, featuring his rivalry with his brother Victor Creed, his service in the special forces team Weapon X, and his experimentation into the metal-lined mutant Wolverine.Lets throw as many characters as possible into the movie until we get a script. The last half from Gambit on is terrible. Keep the CGI cheap and make a horrible movie. Hugh Jackman is best part.
- DirectorMartin CampbellStarsRyan ReynoldsBlake LivelyPeter SarsgaardReckless test pilot Hal Jordan is granted an alien ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers that inducts him into an intergalactic police force, the Green Lantern Corps.A disgusting villain, Hector Hammond, in what should have been a movie with a light heart. A bunch of interesting parts of Green Lantern are introduced and never fallowed properly past a scene or two. The CGI is not good enough for what the movie needed to support it.
- DirectorTim StoryStarsIoan GruffuddMichael ChiklisChris EvansA group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom.Poorly cast, horrible changes made to Doctor Doom, slow moving story and on and on. The Thing was a guy in a rubber suit.
- DirectorAng LeeStarsEric BanaJennifer ConnellySam ElliottBruce Banner, a genetics researcher with a tragic past, suffers an accident that causes him to transform into a raging green monster when he gets angry.An art film about fatherly abuse that decided to become a movie about the Hulk somewhere in its development. CGI Hulk in desert vs army was good went on way to long
- DirectorMark Steven JohnsonStarsNicolas CageEva MendesSam ElliottWhen motorcycle rider Johnny Blaze sells his soul to the Devil to save his father's life, he is transformed into the Ghost Rider, the Devil's own bounty hunter, and is sent to hunt down sinners.Nicholas Cage is Nicholas Cage he is not Johnny Blaze. The choices he made to flesh out the character. The listening to the Carpenters etc. All made Johnny Blaze more Cage like. Terrible dialog and a villain that was not fully thought out. It seems to not take itself at all seriously but it wants your time and money to watch it.
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsAaron Taylor-JohnsonNicolas CageChloë Grace MoretzDave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a superhero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.Children.
- DirectorRussell MulcahyStarsAlec BaldwinJohn LonePenelope Ann MillerIn 1930s New York City, The Shadow (Alec Baldwin) battles his nemesis, Shiwan Khan (John Lone), who is building an atomic bomb.You have to give it Alec Baldwin for attempting to pull this one off. It was going to be a blockbuster. The film fails to engage the viewer and the last half is a snooze. Putting you to sleep as the action is supposed to pick up.
- DirectorMichel GondryStarsSeth RogenJay ChouChristoph WaltzFollowing the death of his father, Britt Reid, heir to his father's large company, teams up with his late dad's assistant Kato to become a masked crime fighting team.Seth Rogen cannot be funny in a PG-13 movie. Seth is barely funny in a R movie. There is this strange stillness in certain scenes in this movie like they left the camera running while the crew enjoyed the Pineapple express.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsVal KilmerTommy Lee JonesJim CarreyBatman must battle former district attorney Harvey Dent, who is now Two-Face and Edward Nygma, The Riddler with help from an amorous psychologist and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin.Okay let Joel Schumacher take over the Batman series. He will use lots and lots of neon colors. Let everyone over act it will be great just like an updated Batman television series, Script is not a script just a series of lines that are all overacted.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsHenry CavillAmy AdamsMichael ShannonAn alien child is evacuated from his dying world and sent to Earth to live among humans. His peace is threatened when other survivors of his home planet invade Earth.Turns into watching a video game half way into the movie. You just don't care about anyone in this movie before that. You will become as bored as someone watching Twitch
- DirectorMark A.Z. DippéStarsMichael Jai WhiteJohn LeguizamoMartin SheenAn elite mercenary is killed, but comes back from Hell as a reluctant soldier of the Devil.Poor special effects and poor story, a very low budget feel poorly executed.
- DirectorPeter BergStarsWill SmithCharlize TheronJason BatemanHancock is a superhero whose ill-considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when the person he saves helps him improve his public image.Why do these kind of movies resort to blue humor or just plain dirty jokes? What audience are your seeking? Make a good movie and throw vulgar crap into it or make a vulgar movie and throw good crap into it. This movie did not know what it was or what it wanted to be.
- DirectorScott StewartStarsPaul BettanyCam GigandetMaggie QA warrior priest disobeys church law to track down a pact of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.B movie with good parts. Overall waste of time to watch with some good action scenes.
- DirectorFrank MillerStarsGabriel MachtSamuel L. JacksonScarlett JohanssonRookie cop Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces in Central City.Miller should never had attempted to direct this one he couldn't pull it off. Its a hard story to bring to screen as its dated, and a bit slow moving. There are moments where you will say wow that is a nice scene but that is about it.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstTopher GraceA strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.Too many villains and a weak Venom. Sandman was the best part of this movie. Peter Parker descent into badness is just bad. Script should have just the Venom story line with a different actir for Venom or the Sandman without the recon into him being Ben's killer
- DirectorBrett RatnerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanHalle BerryThe human government develops a cure for mutations, and Jean Grey becomes a darker uncontrollable persona called the Phoenix who allies with Magneto, causing escalation into an all-out battle for the X-Men.Crap. Crap director. Sums up long storylines from the comic into bits. Sprinkles great characters into bit parts. Makes itself into a convoluted crib notes of smashed together X-men stories and makes it somehow at the same time boring
- DirectorJimmy HaywardStarsJosh BrolinMegan FoxJohn MalkovichIn exchange for his freedom, bounty hunter Jonah Hex must track down a terrorist with a superweapon.Need this movie need to be made? Josh Brolin did you really think this was going to be a hit.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsHugh JackmanWill Yun LeeTao OkamotoWolverine comes to Japan to meet an old friend whose life he saved years ago, and gets embroiled in a conspiracy involving yakuza and mutants.Waste of Silver Samurai and poor pacing. Tries to bring one of the better Wolverine comics into a movie but needs for some reason to change so much that it just takes the highlights.
- DirectorRob BowmanStarsJennifer GarnerGoran VisnjicWill Yun LeeElektra the warrior survives a near-death experience, becomes an assassin-for-hire, and tries to protect her two latest targets, a single father and his young daughter, from a group of supernatural assassins.The directors cut was better, very sleepy little superhero movie. Script seems like it was in the rough draft stage.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsBilly CampbellJennifer ConnellyAlan ArkinA young pilot stumbles onto a prototype jetpack that allows him to become a high-flying masked hero.Never gets into a groove. Good movie strong cult following. The ending is to much like the serails it is based on should have been modernized
- DirectorLexi AlexanderStarsRay StevensonDominic WestJulie BenzFrank Castle, known as the Punisher, ruthlessly demolishes organized crime, but it starts an even bigger war.Just Violence
- DirectorMichael PressmanStarsPaige TurcoDavid WarnerMichelan SistiThe Turtles discover their origins while they endeavour to save New York City from the evil Shredder and his Foot Clan.
- DirectorGary GoddardStarsDolph LundgrenFrank LangellaMeg FosterThe heroic warrior He-Man battles against the evil lord Skeletor and his armies of darkness for control of Castle Grayskull.This could have been worse. Really cheaply made could have used better Frank Langella make up. The whole might eighties music synth story line was not needed at all.

- DirectorJosh TrankStarsMiles TellerKate MaraMichael B. JordanFour young outsiders teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe which alters their physical form in shocking ways. The four must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.The worst part for me of the notorious bad movie was when Sue Storm's wig came on in the tacked on studio ending.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerGeorge ClooneyChris O'DonnellBatman and Robin try to keep their relationship together even as they must stop Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy from freezing Gotham City.George Clooney could have been a half way decent Batman Arnold, Green Ivy and Bane are all silly. Neon ugliness punctionated by bad puns.
- DirectorSimon KinbergStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceJean Grey begins to develop incredible powers that corrupt and turn her into a Dark Phoenix, causing the X-Men to have to decide if her life is worth more than all of humanity.Poor Acting by the most important character in the film. Epic story wrapped up and given to an actress who is way out of her league. Vague villians without well defined powers futher ruin this movie. Slap in a final action scene poorly edited. Low number on list because of how good it could have been.
- DirectorSteve BarronStarsJudith HoagElias KoteasJosh PaisFour teenage mutant ninja turtles emerge from the shadows to protect New York City from a gang of criminal ninjas.
- DirectorRichard LesterStarsChristopher ReeveRichard PryorMargot KidderSynthetic kryptonite laced with tar splits Superman in two: good Clark Kent and bad Man of Steel.So you have a better sequel than the first movie. Your follow up? You stick a hip comedian into the movie to over shadow the whole thing. You hire get this now Robert Vaughn of all people as the villain. Even in 1983 it was obvious that his prime was Napoleon Solo. Its not a Superman film its more of a Pryor film.
- DirectorDavid S. GoyerStarsWesley SnipesKris KristoffersonParker PoseyBlade, now a wanted man by the FBI, must join forces with the Nightstalkers to face his most challenging enemy yet: Dracula.Seems like a attempt to fork a new team but instead spawned a TV series. The movie pushes Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel. Snipes is in the background. Read it was a troubled production it seems like it. Editing is choppy and has a made for television feel to the pace and dialog.
- DirectorSimon WincerStarsBilly ZaneKristy SwansonTreat WilliamsThe Phantom, descendent of a line of African superheroes, travels to New York City to thwart a wealthy criminal genius from obtaining three magic skulls which would give him the secret to ultimate power.Kudos for the cajones to make this movie. Its a rough character to bring to the screen. Overall this might have been the best anyone could have done with this story. Its just not a good character to bring to film. My thinking was they saw him as an Indiana Jones in purple. Well he is not.
- DirectorStuart BeattieStarsAaron EckhartBill NighyMiranda OttoFrankenstein's creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries-old war between two immortal clans.Video Game. You never care about the Monster you never care what happens in any scene. You don't care about the plot. Its a bad script. Jumps right in and does not spend a minute on character development. Next time just make a video game with really long cut scenes. You would have had a hit.
- DirectorDanny CannonStarsSylvester StalloneArmand AssanteRob SchneiderIn a dystopian future, Joseph Dredd, the most famous Judge (a police officer with instant field judiciary powers), is convicted for a crime he did not commit and must face his murderous counterpart.Writing a script to allow a movie star not dress like the character always does in the comic. It is a critical mistake and than you throw in a comic relief tool.

- DirectorPitofStarsHalle BerrySharon StoneBenjamin BrattA shy woman, endowed with the speed, reflexes, and senses of a cat, walks a thin line between criminal and hero, even as a detective doggedly pursues her, fascinated by both of her personas.Sharon Stone and a French director who seemed to have no concept of the character or a need to film one single scene that was original. Well the carnival scene is a little inspired.
