Superhero Movie Poll, List Thread!

Post by Holden »

Hello! I've decided to move to a new thread for the lists, that other thread will be a discussion thread. Don't worry, the two that posted lists there don't need to transfer them but I'd recommend it for the purposes of completion.

Anyways, here is the new list thread for the Superhero Movie Poll! Please post ranked lists of ten or more superhero films.

Ultimately, I've decided to leave it up to you to filter out non-superhero films. I'm not going to say any films are ineligible, and ultimately, if others don't consider it a superhero film, it won't make the list.

Deadline is July 31st, 2021!

I wouldn't consider Joker a superhero movie, because there are no superheroes in it. Just a villain.

I don't think most people consider Men in Black or Ghost World a superhero movie, but I haven't seen them, so I can't be sure.

The Lego Movie has superheroes in it, but if I remember correctly, they're not the main characters. I guess it's ok to include it, but it's not as much a superhero movie as The Lego Batman Movie.

I'm not sure if I'm late but here's my list anyway (not a big fan of superhero-movies but these were worth to mention).

1. The Incredibles (2004) | Brad Bird 
2. Kick-Ass (2010) | Matthew Vaughn 
3. Black Panther (2018) | Ryan Coogler 
4. The Dark Knight (2008) | Christopher Nolan 
5. Batman (1989) | Tim Burton 
6. Batman Begins (2005) | Christopher Nolan 
7. Big Hero 6 (2014) | Don Hall / Chris Williams 
8. Batman Returns (1992) | Tim Burton 
9. Batman Forever (1995) | Joel Schumacher 
10. The Dark Knight Rises (2012) | Christopher Nolan 
11. Masters of the Universe (1987) | Gary Goddard 
12. Incredibles 2 (2018) | Brad Bird 
13. Unbreakable (2000) | M. Night Shyamalan 
14. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) | Bob Persichetti / Peter Ramsey / Rodney Rothman 
15. Watchmen (2009) | Zack Snyder 
16. Flash Gordon (1980) | Mike Hodges 
17. Superman (1978) | Richard Donner 
18. Mister Freedom (1968) | William Klein 
19. Orgazmo (1997) | Trey Parker 
20. Darkman (1990) | Sam Raimi 

V for Vendetta would have been my #2 but RYM does not count it as a superhero movie and neither do me. Joker and Ghost World (!!) are not superhero movies in anyway. I also excluded Turtles movies (not sure why).

Okay, I seriously thought the deadline was the end of August. Mea culpa, sorry! :angry-banghead:
Here's something I just threw together, but it should be about right. I'm not sure if I would like all of these if I watched them again, though.
I get nobody voting for Jeeg Robot (since it's Italian, and apparently only Americans are allowed to produce superheroes, *sarcasm out*), but no Chronicle anywhere seems bizarre to me.

3. The Incredibles
4. Chronicle
5. Spider-Man 2
6. RoboCop
7. Die Nibelungen: Siegfried

14. Split
15. Masters of the Universe
16. Joker
17. Spider-Man
18. Batman
19. Dick Tracy
20. Wanted
21. Superman (1941)
22. X-Men 2
23. The Crow
24. Watchmen
25. Kick-Ass
26. Superman (1971)

Hello!) I also don't really like movies about superheroes, I probably don't really like Marvel and DS, since I watched ordinary films such as ""Spy Kids"" several times and almost all parts (except the last one)
I'll start the list with this movie:
1. Children of spies
2. Incredibles
3. Catwoman
4. Guardians
5. Incredibles
6. X-Men: First Class
That's probably all. I don't like superheroes ..

For once a poll where I’m confident I have seen most movies that would have a good change to make it, the exceptions being the early Superman and the Robocop movies.

I’m going to lie to myself and pretend Asterix isn’t some kind of super hero.

Decided to include the Mask, but leave out 300 and Sin City.

Obviously having seen so many superhero movies, I have seen a lot of “meh” ones (most disappointing ? I guess the indie one, Super)
I have avoided some of the notoriously worst ones (Catwoman, Elektra and Jonah Hex for instance) but here are the dishonorable mentions, some of the worst movies I have ever seen :

The last 15 minutes of Wonder Woman (not enough to ruin the very good movie that preceded it, but the ugly cinematography, dumb sacrifice, lame villain and the usual terrible combat physics of the DCEU movie were hard to watch… there was an interesting video somewhere on youtube on why the physics on combat of flying characters often looks bad, but on that instance with 2 grounded characters it’s hard to explain why they couldn’t make it look better)
X-Men Origins : Wolverine (the fact they finally made a Deadpool movie despite that one is close to a miracle)
Ghost Rider 2 (not that the original one what that great either)
Daredevil (everyone except Michael Clarke Duncan was terribly miscast ! Though maybe there could be a good version of a Colin Farrell Bullseye in a very different movie)
Batman & Robin (the bat card ! the bat nipples ! Terrible Schwarzenegger puns ! The most cartoonish Bane possible ! Uma Thurman !)
Suicide Squad (It’s hard to believe I ranked 2 movies as worse than the complete trainwreck that is Suicide Squad. There are some great videos on Youtube explaining all that went wrong and all the proofs that the movie was very hastily reedited to make the final mess we got. I’m not sure I have seen another blockbuster movie that poorly edited or incoherent… I’m glad that Margot Robbie still managed to shine through, despite the movie being a textbook example of “male gaze”, and got the chance to develop the character in 2 much better movies, though there are still issues with how Harley Quinn is treated in The Suicide Squad I think)
My Super Ex-Girlfriend (there aren’t a lot of actresses I really dislike, but Uma Thurman is one of them… the fact that we are not supposed to like her character didn’t make much difference though, that movie is the definition of unfunny, not a single joke lands, it’s just plain terrible)
The Spirit (I usually consider My Super Ex-Girlfriend as the worst movie I ever saw in theater… that’s because I usually forget that The Spirit is not just a nightmare I had during a fever haze. It’s completely incomprehensible and somehow deadly boring despite an outlandish cartoonish style. It’s a festival of dumb stuff, possibly peaking when the Spirit shows a xerox of Eva Mendes’ butt around town to see if anyone can identify her, succeeding when he shows it to a dwarf)

I've finally had the chance to see Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and it immediately jumped to my #2. But since I need to have a round number, I also added four others movies (The Matrix and Wanted were on lists by others, Sin City wasn't but should probably be eligible).
Overall the list is actually pretty good, so maybe the genre isn't as weak as I thought.
Sorry to be a bother...

I’m not a fan of Dark Knight because I think it’s so far out of its philosophical depth. It tries to make profound statements about morality and the human condition but they’re really just simplistic knee jerk misanthrope with a philosophy colored coat of paint.

For what it's worth, I'd rank Shang-Chi around the #30 mark.
