I declined to vote for all of them, but the temptation was strong.

Settled on Catwoman.

How could Iron Man be the worst?

Captain America with Reb Brown was pretty dire.

Yeah, weird addition to that list. Iron Man is a great movie.

Haven't seen or heard much about Captain America, so didn't think to add it.

Of that list, I've only seen Iron Man 1 & 2. IM2 was bad, so I voted for that.

Catwoman didn't actually happen in my universe. :p I voted for Elektra because I saw the box at a discount store the other day and got painful flashbacks from it. made Daredevil seem, well, not as crappy.
Title: Re: Worst Superhero Film
Post by: Neil on May 26, 2011, 08:58:43 PM
Obviously Catwoman was one of my votes.

The other...  Well, the Wolverine movie didn't have a single moment in it where I was like 'that's cool'.  Most of the others could say that.  And they fucked up Ryan Reynolds' character by closing his mouth, depriving us of snappy dialogue.

Another one I'd put on the list in contention (although not as bad as Elektra, Daredevil, Superman IV or Batman and Robin was Blade II.

I am the world's foremost expert on the definition of superhero, and My ruling is that Blade is most assuredly a superhero.

Besides, Cirque Du Soleil is in Vegas, not Edmonton.

As for the topic: Couldn't say, they are all so outrageously atrocious.

Especially the Superman movies.

But Elektra and Superman I-IX would probably be it. I consider the Supermen a package atrocity.

Wolverine was pretty good.

Edit: Finally settled on Elektra and Hulk. Elektra was such a bad movie that it takes presedence over Superman, which is just an idiotic concept. What's the goddamned point of a character that literally CANNOT die? Hulk and Superman are meaningless creatures and should be strapped to a rocket and fired into a supernova. Probably been done in one episode or another, and they came through alright and used their time-spinning powers to return to earth circa 1985 AD

:yuk:

Wolverine was a terrible POS, the only redeeming issue I got from watching it was that it only costed me 2 bucks to get into the cinema. Walking out of the cinema was seriously considered after half an hour.

I voted for that and Batman and Robin, but I got that confused with Batman Returns. I want to think that both Schumacher movies just didn't exist.

Superman IV; other movies their are Turkeys, but Superman IV suffers more than them because it can be compared with the much superior first two films.

Three that I can recall. In descending order of dubious quality, 2 - 3 - 1.

The last one was actually funny in a ridiculously gory violence sort of way, but the only one with any attempt at quality was the second, IMO.

Other. Nick Fury: Agent of Shield. Sure, it was a TV movie, but those who've had the (mis)fortune to catch that piece of crap know just how awful it is. Starting with David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury. :P

It isn't because you are in a fight with Neil that your pooper is hurting.  It is because you wear your boxers backwards.  I don't, so have no worries on that score.

Absolutely.  V was in some ways similar to Deadpool, if Deadpool had better writing and wasn't so deliberitely zany and pop-culturey.

Just because a story is about a superhero doesn't mean it has to be weak and cliché.
