5 Worst Superhero Movies

The 5 Worst Superhero Movies Ever

This episode of Comic Movie-10 explores Joe and Dan’s selections for the top five worst superhero movies of all time. In addition to their top five, they include honorable mention of the following movies, Superman IV, Steel, Green Lantern, both Ghost Rider movies, Spiderman III, and Batman Forever. If you thought those movies were bad, just wait until you hear their top five!

Coming in at number five is Superman III. The reason behind this selection is that the brothers feel the first two Superman movies were incredibly well done, while the third was disappointing. It not only lacked a storyline, but also had a likeable villain, who was not well fleshed out as a character.

At number four on the list, the brothers have placed the 2003 film, The Hulk, staring Eric Bana. It was such a bad movie that Dan points out that it took him multiple attempts to even finish the film. This is a difficult feet for comic lovers, as Joe explains that most superhero fans really try to stick through the rough movies, clinging to the positives. Only a few years later, the Hulk franchise was completely rebooted, considering the 2003 version was such a failure.

Third on the list is Catwoman, staring Halle Berry. While she is an amazing actress, who looked incredible in her suit, the film was cheesy with no solid direction. The brothers point out that the dialogue was corny, and the story felt as though the plot never picked up.

The brothers have placed Daredevil at the second spot on the list. Their reasoning for this is the lack luster of each character. They mention a scene where it appears that Daredevil and Elektra are battling each other at a playground for no apparent reason. The movies absence of a storyline, along with its boring villain, Bullseye, played by Colin Farrell, helped to create one of the worst superhero movies of all time.

And finally, number one on the list, the worst superhero movie of all time is Batman and Robin. Although the casting of this film would appear to have all of the makings for an incredible movie, that was certainly not the case. The brothers point out how Joel Schumacher’s involvement in the movie as director simply fell short after the direction of Tim Burton during the first two movies of the franchise. In addition, many of the characters were incredibly cheesy, including Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, who is supposed to be one of the most exciting villains of all time. Overall, the story fell very short of people’s expectations.

The brothers want to know if you love any of these terrible movies, or if you feel there are other movies that should have made the list. Let them know by leaving your comments, questions, and opinions. As always, tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10!

Ed Norton Bashes Incredible Hulk

Ed Norton Bashes The Incredible Hulk on Bruce Willis Roast

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers discuss the recent comments made by Ed Norton in regard to Marvel. Back in 2008, Ed Norton starred in one of the first MCU movies, The Incredible Hulk, as none other than Bruce Banner (a.k.a. the Hulk). Zak Penn wrote the script for the movie, and although Norton was initially excited to be a part of the team, his opinions quickly changed. Watch the clip at the end of this post.

Norton’s recent comments allude to the fact that he expected to have a lot of creative freedom and input when it came to the movie, however looking back, he does not believe that was the case. Norton was critical of the project, saying, “I wanted a better script.” As a result, he voiced his opinions, and became involved in the rewrite. Although he spent hours and hours of his life helping to improve the script, he was never given credit in any way for his contributions to the writing, and in fact, while they filmed many of the scenes Norton wrote, they were edited out, essentially keeping the movie the same as Penn’s original version.

Since Norton’s disappointment in the Marvel movie, he has stayed far from franchise movies for the most part, and has made public statements insulting the MCU. In more recent years, Mark Ruffalo has taken over as Bruce Banner, and while Ruffalo is very well liked and a wonderful actor, many still question what could have come from Norton’s portrayal of the Hulk.

Although Norton was not overly thrilled with The Incredible Hulk, the Kane brothers point out how the movie was not a failure in its entirety, and how it is actually a better-made movie than some of the other movies that fall in the MCU. For example the Abomination played by Tim Roth, was a very solid, round character. In fact, the end fight scene between Roth and Norton’s characters was so well portrayed; it appeared to be straight from the old school comic books. In addition, Joe and Dan point out that the romantic relationship throughout the movie was well established as well. In general, both brothers feel that The Incredible Hulk was a good movie.
