Superheroes can be good and they can be bad and some can be really really bad. So I sat down and created a list of bad superhero movies with the help of people on Twitter. So, in no particular order, here's a list of some of the worst superhero movies of all time. Feel free to leave a comment with any that I've let out.
1. Green Lantern
This movie was so bad it started rumors that DC had a "no joke" policy in place. In fact this movie was so bad it got Ryan Reynolds kicked out of the DC Cinematic Universe. Which is saying something because Wolverine Origins was so bad he got kicked out the Fox Universe. But Fox is a studio of "who really cares" and they brought him back. Thank Thor for Deadpool.
2. Thor
Speaking of Thor he makes trash movies. I don't even consider him a hero after these bad movies. This was like the superhero version of an Adam Sandlar movie.
3. Thor: Dark World
Did you really think I wouldn't add them both? If Thor was a romantic comedy, this was just a Jerry Springer episode. "If you haven't been cheating, let me smell your hammer."
4. Catwoman
Some say this movie is the reason that there aren't more superhero movies with women leads.
5. The Punisher
Sure it's an old movie, but even by old standards it's bad.They even copied the promo images of Prince on a motorcycle for Purple Rain
6. The Punisher
Like the previous one, but newer so now he shoots you with an automatic instead of semi-automatic.
7. The Punisher: War Zone
That's right they went for the threepete of bad movies and completed it. It's still bad but it's miles ahead of the other two. Just stop trying to make The Punisher happen. He's a dick...wait...just got news... he's in Daredevil season 2....DAMN DAMN DAMN.
8. Steel
Shaq should have been put out of the league for this one. I'm just upset all those free throw jokes didn't help his free throws.
9. Daredevil
Thank goodness the Netflix show is great.
10. Batman and Robin
Nipples.
11. Spawn
I even wrote about how bad it was. It should have been great. I blame the cape.
12. Elektra
Just like Daredevil, thank goodness for Netflix.
13. The Green Hornet
It's just like every other Seth Rogan movie. A 20 something pot head does stuff he has no business doing. Forced action and drama. Seriously, someone tell me why Seth Rogen still gets jobs. Seth Rogen, Patton Oswalt and Jonah Hill are all the proof you need white privilege exists, because they keep getting work to play the same character in every film.
14. The Hulk
15. The Incredible Hulk
Edward Norton can't save this one. I know Marvel is gonna do another one. I know they are. Just go with Amadeus Cho, give us something different if you're going to jam this stuff down our throats.
16. Blade Trinity
I like wrestling, I like Blade. Apparently I don't like when the two are mixed and neither does anyone else. However, I demand a sequel. Wesley Snipes needs more work. Please note, Ryan Reynolds was also in this movie.
17. Judge Dredd (1995 or 2012)
Both movies are horrible. He didn't judge shit. I'd rather watch Judge Greg Mathis. He was raised in the streets and he makes a difference by giving back through public service. He knows people can change because in his courtroom great success is achieved.
18. Superman III
Christopher Reeve and Richard Pryor roll over in their graves every time someone presses play on this movie.
19. Superman IV
This one was so bad that Richard Pryor refused to be in it and the producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind who produced 1-3 were fired before production started. Sadly, they wanted Christopher Reeve and Richard Pryor to make cameos but they died three months apart before filming started.
20. Superman Returns
Watch Superman III and Superman IV, then watch Superman Returns and tell my why Man of Steel was the worst Superman movie ever. I dare you to lie to me like that. Superman I and II are the only watchable films in that whole series. Man of Steel was a necessary reboot. Especially when you realize that boy scout stuff didn't work and Superman hasn't been a boy scout in over 20 years.
21. Supergirl
Mentioning this may get the TV show cancelled, if the ratings don't...
22. Jonah Hex
I don't know any Jonah and I don't know what a hex is. Erase this from my memory please. Also did they really think Megan Fox was gonna save this movie AFTER seeing Jennifer's Body, Trasnformers 1 and 2?
23. Ghost Rider
I'm creeping solo because I don't need a rider like this.
24. Ghost Ride: Spirit of Vengeance
Why did they thing a second movie was okay? Why? WHY?
25. X Men Origins: Wolverine
Why did they even include other mutants from Weapon X if they were going to do them so poorly. They're based on their comic book counterparts in name only. Please note, Ryan Reynolds.
26. X-Men: The Last Stand
People like to complain about the X-Men movies but this is the only one that is truly a horrible movie that should be wiped from existence. It's called The Last Stand because it almost killed the franchise. They had to reboot an already good series of movies because this was so bad. But, it gave us Days of Future Past so I guess you can put The Wolverine here if you want.
27. Iron Man 2
All the fun was sucked out of the series with this one. All the cool things were either gone or so over done they were no longer fun. They could have at least given Tony a drinking problem.
28. Iron Man 3
I'm glad the action scenes were great, because the story wasn't.
29. TMNT 3
You could argue they aren't super heroes, but that's only because their status was revoked after this.
30. Fantastic Four (Unreleased)
This movie was so bad it wasn't released. You can watch it online if you're not feeling suicidal.
31. Fantastic Four
You almost had it. You almost had it.
32. Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer
I hate that FX is playing this 43% of the time when I'm channel surfing.
33. Fantastic 4
And that's an unfantastic 4. Maybe if they understood the Fantastic 4 aren't real superheroes. Just adventurers. Could have fixed the whole movie by sending the whole team on the run with the help of Johnny and Sue's dad, this causes him to get killed. Inviting Ben to school too where he and Johnny made some jokes. Instead of facing Doom have the military finally track them down. A fight happens, you get your big action scene. They fight to a standstill. Fantastic 4 says they'll help the military if they get their own building. Boom, I just fixed your movie with the same outcome and didn't even waste Doom. Hire your boy Fox. I have a plot for the sequel already. Really I have plots for a 3rd and 4th film. 4th film has a crossover with X-Men and Deadpool. I know you want it. Call me.
34. Captain America (1990)
Captain America stole a car. Like, he legit stole a fucking car from someone who was already giving him a ride.
35. The Spirit
This movie really does look incredible. There's nothing else good about it. But, if you really like cinematography you'll enjoy this. Like Sin City.
36. Spider-Man 3
Killed a whole series of films. To be fair, it didn't have to be bad. They just started cramming too many villains in. Venom, Sandman, Green Goblin, Curt Connors, and The New Green Goblin.
37. Spider-Man (1977) and Spider-Man Strikes Back (1978)
I'll let them share this spot because they were made together as tv movies. This is where the idea of Peter Parker loves brown suits came from. He wears one in every scene of the move and the villain has a beard and striped turtleneck sweater. He also doesn't use webs in the movies.
38. Dr. Strange
He rarely does magic in this movie. He's a doctor. The villain decides she doesn't want to kill him because she finds him cute and he makes her ugly.
39. Barb Wire
You'd be better off trying to find some porn that featured barbed wire.
40. Howard The Duck
Thank goodness for Guardians of The Galaxy. That cameo revitalized his career.
41. Tank Girl
Is Ice T still playing a cop on SVU? Because he should arrest himself for being in this one. It would even end up in the SVU department because Tank Girl is a girl who drives a miniature tank and is prone to random acts of sex. I didn't make up "random acts of sex" that's in an official description of the character.
42. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Extraordinarily bad. The graphic novel is actually pretty good. Similar to Watchmen it may have been just a little dark to be a movie. But, Watchmen did it anyway and it was a damn good movie.
43-49. The Shadow (all of them)
I'm giving this film 7 spots, six for the feature length films, and one for the mini movies made for TV
50. R.I.P.D.
Ryan Reynolds back on the list again. This is the third time. I will say, he must really love comic books. He just kept doing bad superhero movies until Deadpool came along.
You can hear Darrell on the CP Time and Powerbomb Jutsu podcasts. He also plays classic arcade games on The Cabinet

I think you bumped your head on a few of these choices.
ReplyDeleteWhich one? Make an argument for it.
DeleteI think you bumped your head on a few of these choices.
ReplyDeleteOnly agree with Numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17 (Only 95 version), 18 is mediocre, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 is mediocre cus I liked the first 40 minutes, 25, 29 is the weakest but for me at least I can still watch it, 30, 31, 32, 33 I found to be mediocre, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43-49 and 50.
ReplyDeleteYou really gonna tell me, neither of those Hulk movies were bad? You won't even admit that?
DeleteHulk movies for sure was bad but 2003 was the best representation of hulk imo most closest to the comics
DeleteJust because it's the best representation of Hulk doesn't mean it gets a pass for being a bad movie.
DeleteSome interesting choices, here. I like both Thor movies so I wouldn't include those. I will admit, however, that The Dark World is a bit on the strange side.
ReplyDeleteThe 2012 version of Dredd was actually pretty good, too. I'm hoping it gets a sequel.
If TMNT3 is on here, surely where is TMNT2 or the Michael Bay inspired one that came out not too long ago.
A few of these are in the so bad they're awesome category like the Roger Corman Fantastic Four, Barb Wire, Howard the Duck, and those Spiderman TV flicks.
Nah, those Thor movies were bad. Dredd isn't getting a sequel. I'll take it off the list if it does. The Michael Bay TMNT isn't on here because they lost their superhero status after TMNT3.
DeleteWe'll just have to agree to disagree on the Thor flicks. Lol about the latest TMNT.
DeleteThor is in no way shape or form a worse movie then anything above #13 on this list. Imperfect? Yes. But the cast is engaging (even Portman, in the first one), the world-building is beautifully done, and Loki is the only decent villain in the entire Marvel universe to date. You can watch this movie quite happily just to see what Tom Hiddleston does with that character. Also, abs.
ReplyDeleteBatman and Robin killed the whole genre for a decade for Pete's sake. Thor and Thor 2 aren't worse than that, at a minimum.
Conversely, Supergirl is one of the worst movies of all time, and deserves to be way higher on the list. The story fails emotionally, logically and creatively, the effects are shit-tastic, the dialogue is awful, and the actors are all clearly embarrassed just to be there (Peter O'Toole? How did they get him? And why on earth did he say yes to his awful character that goes nowhere and does nothing? And didn't this kill Faye Dunaway's career? And Chris Reeves outright refused to be in it, which made the writers work around a Superman-shaped hole, producing a script that made EVEN LESS sense than the minuscule amount it probably started with).
Well it's not a list ranked from worst to best. That's in the opening paragraph.
DeleteAt that point ponder no more. Locales that offer spilling motion pictures can without much of a stretch be found via looking them on the Net. You have the alternative to pick which one suits your motion picture hunger as there are locales that have preferred determination of motion pictures over others.get redirected here
ReplyDeleteYours truly, Hatchet Jack." How can you not love this movie with a scene like that? This movie is great at depicting how to live off the land and be self - sufficient.filmes via torrent
ReplyDeleteRemove Dredd 2012 and replace it with Phantom 1996 or at least add Phantom, as a fan of the books that movie was a mess.
