Forums - Movies & TV - What is the worst Superhero film you've ever seen?

Man of Steel. What terrible pacing and horrible ( as in zero) character development this movie had, and the trailer was one of the best trailers I have seen. The disappointment that I endured throughout the movie right from the get-go was unmatched. Unfortunately the Batman v Superman trailer was also pretty good, so the disappointment will only continue.................

The Daredevil hate is quite sad. I actually enjoyed the movie (specifically the Director's Cut). That being said when I was first introduced to the movie, I did not know much about his character. I saw him team up with Spider Man a couple of times in the cartoons and that was about it. Perhaps if I had have been more familiar with the character my opinion of the film would have been different.

Catwoman on the other hand deserves all the hate that it gets. It is really disappointing actually, in an industry dominated by Comic Book film adaptations, female led movies have been abysmal (Elektra). These are all good characters, yet they have been handled terribly.



Green Lantern.

While I love Man of Steel while agreeing with you that the character developme.nt was kind of non existant (only few media forms actually gave Superman more than the Golden Boy personality, and this film kind of turned him into Jesus), I think the more glaring issue is that DC made the movie dark and gritty, like batman, probably out of neccesity to differentiate itself from the early Superman movies and Marvel.

The result was that we had to skip right into Superman adulthood, but early enough that he doesn't know what he was doing, the point in his life that would have the least character development. He hasn't met other more experienced hereos yet, and he hasn't even really had time to be well known.

The other part where he would develop his childhood to adolesence, but that was rushed and told anachronistically, so you can't see him develop there as well.

The effect of origin story mixed with anachronistic character development leads to disjointed and unapparent development whatsover.

But its also the best DBZ movie ever made ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

An origin story can be told anachronistically, but it has to be laser focused, really only covering one event. Going from Childhood to Superman was way to broad and only captured snippets of what together would have been good development.

I tought about Fantastic Four, but them I remembered Green lantern was way worse, so I was set on answering Green Lantern but I read someones post and he mentioned Cat Woman, and them it hit me Cat Woman was so bad I had even forgotten it existed.

Cat Woman is probably the worst movie I ever saw, of any gene, its worse than Birdemic.



mmmmm ghost rider 2?

The bad acting as well didn't help, some good acting in parts of the movie but overall pretty bad. The pacing was so out of place they may as well have not even displayed Clark Kent in his younger years. I don't get it, how can a group of professionals with this caliber make a project so out of touch when  other movies were so marvelous? I felt literally no connection to the movie what-so-ever and I was so disappointed when watching it, especially considering the fact that I watched the Man of Steel trailer with Russell Crowe's VO almost every day in anticipation for this emotional movie. The movie turned out to be meaningless with no pacing tactics. /rant



Probably Hancock

Absolutely, they told it out of order to be "stylistic" and to make the story more dark and gritty, cause Superman is rarely that except with like the justice league or something.

I was really hyped, and loved it as an action movie, but it definetly lacked the depth.

Hopefully, BVS can redeem it by stuffing most of the dark and gritty with Batman and Lex.
