# 3 On My Top 10 Superhero Movie List…

I wouldn't exactly call TASM2 a masterpiece, but it was certainly not the odd man out of the 4 superhero movies this year. It and Interstellar were my most anticipated movies going into 2014, and I enjoyed it much more than X-Men: DOFP (which I also liked).
The only film on your list I absolutely would not include is Thor 2. For me, it's only half of a good movie. And as that half is good, and not great, I can't in good conscience support it, and deem it one of Marvel's lesser efforts. The only one on your list I have not seen is Batman Returns.
For reference, here are my top 15 superhero movies:- Watchmen (in my top 3 of all-time next to Interstellar and The Hobbit trilogy)
- Iron Man 3 (took me a long time to come around to this one)
- The Dark Knight
- Captain America: The First Avenger
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- The Amazing Spider-Man
- The Avengers
- X2: X-Men United
- Superman Returns (never understood the hate for this)
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2
- Batman Begins
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier
- X-Men: First Class
- Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
- Thor

- Spider-Man 2
- Thor
- Winter Soldier
- TASM 2
- Spider-Man
- Hellboy
- Guardian of the Galaxy
- X-Men: First Class (or X2 depending on my mood)
Least Favorite:
Man of Steel (Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn)
I'm not an actor, I just play one on TV.

1-The Dark Knight
2-Batman Begins
3-The Dark Knight Rises
4-X-Man Days of Future Past
5-Watchman
6-X-Man First Class
7-Man In Black
8-300
9-Iron Man
10-The Avengers
300
a superhero movie? I don't think so. I loved it though.
My main problem with Nolan's Batman films is that the hand to hand combat scenes are atrocious. Batman is supposed to be a master of MANY different martial arts yet he never throws a kick? They should have got some Hong Kong martial arts choreographer or something. You can almost say that the corny 60s show with the ZOWIE! and BLAM! had better fight scenes that Nolan's. However, everything else was pretty damn good.

Post edited. I don't know what was wrong with me when I made this list. Clearly 300 is not a superhero movie at all. Maybe I was drunk or something at the time
You are right about the Batman films. The lacking of Batman's hand to hand combat skills was okay for me at first, but started bothering me a little during repeated viewings. The rest of the actions are very good though. -

The Dark Knight Trilogy has grown on me, but I still can't take those movies all that seriously. But then, I've always been more of a Marvel fan than D.C. I love the Burton Batman films, though. And even Batman & Robin has a special place in my heart cause I love Uma Thurman, and Arnie is hilarious as Mr. Freeze.
My e-book, "Le Club du Mal," is available here:

hellboundmaniac — 10 years ago(April 30, 2015 02:54 PM)
1 Watchmen
2 V for Vendetta
3 The Dark Knight
4 X-men First Class
5 Thor
6 Guardians of the Galaxy
7 Captain America The Winter Soldier
8 Iron Man
9 Blade
10 X-Men
That's my movie list. Does V for Vendetta count? If Series Count I would remove X-Men and shift 5-9 down one spot and put Daredevil Netflix Series in 5 spot -

Nice list, although I loathe Man Of Steel for its acting, dialogue, and contrivances. Good to see Mystery Men on someone's list. That and Unbreakable rarely get mentioned

I liked Man of Steal except for the villain, and Jonathan Kent's death. Zod was too 1 dimensional, and the motivation for the antagonists was just too simple. Otherwise, I loved the tone of the film, and the new Superman.

You didn't find the acting horrid? I know several people who enjoy MOSmainly for the actionbut they all say the acting wasn't great
Gotta admit, I compare every version of Superman I see to Chris Reeve, and his portrayal is so awesome that it's gonna take something really special to equal it.

I generally don't care what other people think. Because most people that make judgements on these forums are just hopping on bandwagons, since they have the inability to make an analysis for themselves.
I liked Superman. I thought Costner as Jonathan Kent was great. Martha Kent was fine. Saying the acting is horrible is a pretty broad statement. I assume most people are referring to Michael Shannon. To that I'd say is the acting the problem or is the script/directing the problem? I just think some of the characters fell flat on the script/story side. If you write someone like a cartoon character, it doesn't matter how well they act, they are going to be beep In Shannon's case, he was portraying a one dimensional character, with sloppily written motivations.
So no, I don't think the acting was horrid. And I have no nostalgia colouring my perception of Cavil. I quite prefer him over Reeves.
Also, when you actually go back to those old Superman films now, they don't really hold up. They're pretty campy and ridiculous. I much prefer the MOS tone and atmosphere, and the current direction of the DCCU. MOS is also beautifully shot. The cinematography is excellent. The pacing is great. The score is fantastic. The arch and beats are all there. It just has that one hole of the antagonist. But overall it's a great film.
I am surprised you'd have such a problem with MOS though, and have TAS 2 in your top 10. The issues that are sprinkled in MOS are found in spades in TAS 2. That movie is filled with all sorts of pacing, tonal, and character development issues. Not to mention Electro/Rhino's razzie worthy performances.
