Top 20 Worst Superhero Movies 

The Batman 2022 deserves a Super Zero. Hate to say this, but... It's actually worse than Catwoman.

@@WhipKick are you kidding me??????????

@@WhipKick Nothing is worse than Catwoman

Howard the Duck and Jonah Hex are NOT superheroes. Just because they are comic book characters does NOT make them superheroes. They do NOT belong on this list.

I had to react to the claim at 0:38 that X men is the superhero movie that made superhero movies or comic book movies truly great- I'd have to objectively disagree , the movie that paved "that" road is Blade (1998) !

Excellent quote.

Ryan Reynolds was an excellent Hal Jordan. The casting choices were quite good. The overall story was not great.

I’m with you.

I agree, I actually had a really good time watching it . Some people just don’t know what a good movie is.

Ryan even shot his green lantern character in deadpool to show you how bad it was

Ikr, it wasn't as legendary as the comics, but it's way better than what people said about the movie

How the actual hell was that not on the list? That movie is awful. Lol

@@acaldwell64 It was.

Definitely

Well the trailer on Amazon prime was very cool and made me watch it. I don’t regret watching it but it wasn’t really good…

I can’t believe Wonder Woman 1984 hasn’t made the list

Exactly

He'll yea I agree with you totally. Spawn was and old film with limited cgi and casting but still way ahead of its time and I never get tired of watching it because it brings so much entertainment to keep me intrigued. Dnt understand why it's being ripped like this. 97 Spawn kicked ass all day and that suit was sick 2 death John Leguizamo killed it as the Clown in the best way 👌

Yeah man i agree Spawn is pretty dope though i was 12 when i first saw it in 97 but i saw it about a month ago and i still think it's dope...like that part where he crashes the party and his armor and cape retract after he drops from the ceiling

I liked Green Lantern. I'm sure everyone is going to trash Ryan for it still.

@@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617 yep that was sick af. Loved it. As pre teen myself dope classic imo

It was dogshit and so was dark Phoenix, unsurprising considering who did both those movies

💯

After rewatching the xmen franchise a couple months ago, The Last Stand was worse to me than Dark Phoenix (which was already trash)

THE DARK PHEONIX saga is justt damn near impossible to do correctly on the big screen, they screwed it up twice. Only THE X-MEN ANIMATED SERIES brought that storyline any justice.

@@Silenthitman44 Wdym by who did them? Writer? Director? Producer? You've made me curious and I'm too lazy to google shit so please specify 🙏

Yes. They should’ve had Elektra in its place

Same me and my mom loved watching that whenever it came on tv

Yeah, those last words are key, aren't they? I liked XMOW when I was younger. I am much wiser now.

I still like Howard The Duck. Not a great movie, but fun.

The Effects are good

Daredevil is so bad it’s good lol

Along with Wonder Woman 1984

not Daredevil, but Electra should be listed instead of spawn. I think Spawn is a old movie that should have remake.

lol, interesting theory!

good thing Nolan and bale came in to save batman after

Bat card declined

On the contrary. He wanted to make the 3rd one Batman Triumphant, much darker.

@@jean-mi1825 I doubt it would be like Nolan level but at the same time it would've been interesting

Agreed

I disagree. I enjoyed wonder woman 1984

Agreed

I did not even finish watching it

WW84 has its issues and doesn’t compare to the first film but calling it the worst is an exaggeration. It’s just an ok movie (6 out of 10)

Nausea ad nauseum!!

@Bill Goodman good joke

@Bill Goodman wrong

The 1991 Captain America movie was the worst Marvel movie ever made. The uniform that Matthew Salinger wore stayed true to the comics but with fake rubber ears on the cowl.

The music score for the 1991 Captain America movie sounded like a 16-bit video game music.

@FOXxStArSx Junior. I also love Spawn, but my opinion may be biased due to nostalgia. I still have fun watching it now and then. At the very least many times more entertaining than a bunch of more recent big-budget hero movies...

The question is have you seen the original PG-13 theatrical cut or the vastly superior R-rated director's cut... At $40M it was the most expensive New Line film at the the time, and directed by a SFX specialist.

The CGI hasn't aged well, but it's still a pretty good movie.

@FOXxStArSx Junior. Yeah, Spawn ( 1997 ) Better Than Captain Marvel ( 2019 ) and Eternals ( 2021 )

Spawn had some great source material. Too bad they hollywoodi-zed him instead of sticking to the source material. I liked it, but it could have been so much better.

I believe it just lacked character development, when spawn or pre-spawn was set up and burned I didn't care, I didn't have any attachment to that character, therefore everything after was emotionless. Has potential and they missed.

I haven’t watched Spawn yet, but it looks like it would be good.

Spawn has become a bit of a cult classic in the following years and does have a bit of a fan base for the movie.

Loved that movie so much

I blame AVI ARAD

@@LeonardoKlotz 💯💯

He’s a marvel legend tho

About that why isn't the amazing spider man 2 here

@@leonardolim8976 its not terrible though its not great but grossing 709 million at the box office says something

Clearly you must be joking. Everything about Suicide Squad is literally bad and that's a fact. The only good qualities on this piece of garbage are the performances by Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Viola Davis. Everything else is horrible and makes the movie completely unwatchable. Not to mention that it treats its audience like idiots by forcing them to left wing politics. Like, that's embarrassing and horrendous.

@@alucard00774 no, I’m not joking, and literally saying something is “bad” is an opinion.

@@alextownley9388 Frankly speaking, EVERYTHING about Suicide Squad is literally bad and that's a fact. There are many articles on internet that support that opinion and rightfully so. Stop kidding yourself.

@@alucard00774 I don’t share that same opinion so how about you just get over it lol

Suicide Squad is a perfectly good popcorn movie. For that it gets a 10/10. Haters don't need to respond.

I heard something totally different. The alien were supposed to be the Shi'ar, a race that has been connected to the X-Verse for a long time. The connection with Captain Marvel was the final battle, that was actually shot, and taking place in space. The similarities forced Fox to reshoot it. Besides, the director was promised 2 2hours+ films to put his story to the screen (Rise Of The Phoenix, and Dark Phoenix) but, because of the imminent buying by Darth Mouse, he was told, mere weeks before production began, that he now had one, under 2 hours long, film to do so. It was an impossible task, really.

That's not true. First off dark Phoenix isn't even in the MCU so it wouldn't of mattered. Secondly Fox didn't have the rights to use Skrulls and they made this movie before Disney bought Fox even if it did come out after.

Right lol. Was like wtf?

Suicide Squad 2 was the comeback... Birds of prey was a colourful nonsense with big babies

Surprised WonderWoman 1984 did not appear on this list.

Wut about Thor: The Dark World?

In fairness I though Colin Farrell's Bullseye was actually good. His mannerisms and facial expressions were almost enough to save the movie. Not quite but almost. I love the part he gets annoyed at the lady on the plane snoring and he flicks a pea in her mouth

How dare you, Daredevil was an awesome movie!

@@ebaugh7320 Thor Dark World is one of the greatest ones in Phase 2!

It's because hellboy is just a comic book hero, no a superhero like Spiderman or batman

I like Spawn 1997, entertaining movie.

Was it even that bad?

@@adamcade604 and why is Hellboy not a superhero. He has super powers.

Ron Perlman hellboy is better

And also the 2017 power rangers movie which is the worst every made.

Ugh even as a 11yr, I didn't like the Turbo film and was one of the last Power Ranger Shows I watched

Turbo should of never been made, should of been a 2 part TV episode, also they cut the crap out of it so it did not make sense

I'm Not Going To Make A Bad Comment About This Movie, In Respect Of The Tragedy That Happened............Rest In Peace JDF, You Will Be Missed.

true, but the main villian was changed a lot which was sad to see

He should just stick to producing, been a mixed bag writing and terrible at directing

@@Silenthitman44 he did a decent job as a director At least he was able to give the movie an identity of its own, rather than trying to replicate Bryan Singer's direction Unlike Brett Ratner tried to do in THE LAST STAND

@@LeonardoKlotz Lol no dark pheonoix was a train wreck and had so many many problems which he couldn't control then there was his script and choices that made it one of the worst movies I so In a long time. It was just as bad if not worse than last stand which he wrote so It's mostly his fault a director can't polish a poorly written turd if he kinda sucks to and not really suited to direct that kind of movie

@@Silenthitman44 A script is not a blueprint. A director can almost change it completely. Kinberg writing and directing means he didn't change it, he went with what he wrote. I mean I'm sure he changed a few things if he had a better idea or a different idea or whatever but for the most part he likely just followed his own written script although Dark Phoenix did have a lot of Reshoots and changes after it was initially filmed.

@@mikeawesome9212 You don't read much do you? He did change multiple times he completely rewrote the entire second half and climax then blamed captain marvels movie etc. He also changed the character jessica was playing and didn't really tell her and caused all kinds of other shit as well it was trainwreck almost as bad if not worse than the last stand and craptastic 4

I was a kid but I remember Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel on all the ads she wasn't even good

@@jonallen7799 exactly loved Reynolds in the movie too bad Wesley snipes didn't get along with him it wasn't Reynolds fault it was the executives and producers that took it in that direction.

I agree, it was blown way out of proportion when it comes to Snipes. He’s the Star, and the real reason Marvel was back on its feet.

Agreed they did him dirty with Trinity.

@@dr.j1416 yeah some actors they praise some is just the opposite didn't Scarlett Johanson had a issue just a few years ago I forgot what the issue was but I'm sure it wasn't her fault.

John Leguizamo stole each scene he was in, as the Violator.

@@kbh95207 hell yes he did lol. I love that movie.

The original 2005 movie, yes it's good.... but Fan4stic 2015 is one of the worst superhero movies !

I’d watch that… if it was good and well-executed.

@@chasehedges6775 If they did an Odin tv show, then they have to make the same thing with Hank Pym (Giant Man) and The Ancient one their stories are so interesting and would require a serious tone for the MCU.

You poor thing. Hopefully your insurance covers your therapy

@@brocky70 it did not lol

I saw it at a drive in and don’t even remember it.

Best part of it was Eiza Gonzalez, that woman is fine af 🔥🔥

@@AgustinRodriguez-dd6mj Bloodshots comics were gold, but the film, horrible.

Agreed. Nothing before 2000 counts anymore unfortunately. Blade 1 & 2, Batman 89, and The Punisher 04 were the best imo. Could not care less about the Super Hero barf they've been spewing.

The Spawn movie was from 1997, The first Blade Movie was a year later in 1998. Now if you mean in the comics Blade first appearance was The Tomb of Dracula #10 July 1973. The first Spawn Comic was from May 1992

X-Men 3 wasn't that bad at least for me

I liked them all, well not so much with Dark Phoenix. Yes a couple of the ones I like do have tiny flaws, but I still like them

X-Men The Last Stand wasn't that bad of a film and Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance had some fun action scenes with upgraded CGI from the 1st film but they're still pretty lackluster.

But....But....It's Morbin' time?

It’s morbin time?

agreed. this is just their opinion and not fact.

🤡

The same can be said for Jon Favreau as Foggy in Ben Affleck's Daredevil.

Daredevil is one of my favorite movies.

@@Rodger_Phillips How could you create a massive alien invasion with practical effects? It would take years then to make just one movie.

he did better in one movie the last thor movie tells u all you need to know about taika

I find B&R to be a cult classic and an unintentional comedy, I love this movie...I mean really Clooney whipped out the Bat credit card...this movie is straight classic.

Might be based on a movie called The Cat people but they were far less known than comic book Catwoman. A woman in movie also explained there were more than one cat person and producers made it plain Sharon Stone's character was also one of them as she had a picture of a guy in a cat costume to point that out, but a lot of critics missed it. Also, as Halley's character had a healing factor and survived a fall the character played by Sharon Stone likely did also for any sequel.

No! Morbin time forever! Go morb yourselves.

Blade, spirit and Spawn, haven't seen them. Most of the DC movies on this list are good popcorn flicks. Steel was pretty bad though and Catwoman was unrecognizable to this comics fan.

My thoughts: 1. Catwoman: Have not seen it 2. Batman and Robin: One of those “it’s so bad that it’s good movies”, I absolutely love it for all the wrong reasons, but yeah, there’s no denying that it’s one of the worst 3. Fant4stic: Now, THAT is the worst superhero movie I have ever seen in my life! 4. Superman IV: One of the most, probably THE most so far, stupid and nonsensical movies I have ever seen, then again, blame freaking Golan and Globus 5. Steel: Have not seen it 6. Green Lantern: Have not seen it 7. Howard the Duck: Okay, it’s not THAT bad, it is inconsistent tonally, but it is one of the most ‘80s movies I’ve seen 8. Supergirl: Have not seen it 9. X-Men Origins: Wolverine: I do not get the hate, it’s still a decent Wolverine origin movie and Hugh Jackman plays the role with flying colors, but it’s ultimately very forgettable, still though, what in the blue hell was up with Deadpool without the mouth? 10. Suicide Squad: I do not get the hate at all, sure the editing doesn’t add up and Jared Leto’s Joker was absolutely wasted, but I liked the characters and the concept was still executed well, Batman v Superman was way worse than this 11. Spawn: Have not seen it 12. The Spirit: Have not seen it 13. Captain America ‘90: Story-wise, it has potential, but the cheap budget and obnoxious editing ruins it 14. Turbo: Power Rangers Movie: Haven’t seen it 15. Morbius: OMG, it is so empty and lifeless and boring except for Matt Smith, Jared Leto sleepwalked this role, and the mid-credits scenes make absolutely no sense whatsoever 16. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance: I liked Idris Elba, but this movie is so obnoxious with it’s editing and doesn’t even feel like a sequel to the first Ghost Rider, also… “SCRAPING AT THE DOOR! SCRAPIN’ AT THE DOOOOOOOOOORAHHHH!” 17. Bloodshot: Have not seen it 18. Jonah Hex: Have not seen it 19. Blade: Trinity: It kind of felt more like Ryan Reynolds overshadowing Wesley Snipes the entire time, not bad and there’s still great action, but for a Blade vs. Dracula movie, Dracula’s so boring 20. Dark Phoenix: Magneto said it best, “there’s always a fight, but nobody cares anymore”, the Dark Phoenix aspect was better utilized than in The Last Stand, but despite the returning actors still being good, the movie was so underwhelming

i still have hopes for thor and black adams, aquaman and wakanda im still worried due to the actors i mean you still have jason momoa but not chadwick boseman, and the flash even taking out the thing about ezra miller i still think this is going to be a mes, this is less like making a flash movie and more a no way home crossover with no other previous flash movies, and the other movie they are crossoving has nothing to do with the flash

And don't forget Shazam Fury of Gods releasing December 21st of this year (same week as Avatar 2 Way of The Water) which was originally Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom's release date, but got pushed to next year in March 17th. Pretty dangerous box office competition there for around the Holidays!

You damn of right

Trust me, they WILL DISSAPOINT US, SPECIALLY WITH THOR 4, AND IM AFRAID THEY WILL DO THE SAME THEY DO TO MALEVITH, TO GORR.

Wakanda forever is probably gonna be terrible without Chadwick

That movie was just terrible

I agree it was boring, but it wasn't bad per se.

Hate both Eternals and Thor The Dark World Edit: at least in Dark World you have Loki/Tom Hiddleston

@@chasehedges6775 Only cared for the Blade voice in the stinger tbh

Those are mcu movies, they don't want to be harassed by these weirdos

Spawn for me

Are you drunk?

Jason David Frank (og Green Power Ranger) played an excellent Bloodshot in the mini NinjaK vs the Valiant Universe. Search it up and thank me later

I agree. They dropped the ball with the bloodshot movie. Vin diesel was a bad choice too imo.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 should be

Peter Parker isn't a cool hipster skater kid

Agreed, they are amazing!

@@Alienkiwi730 If you believe that you clearly haven't watched the movies not to mention his version of a nerd is realistic

@@-thesalemcrow-5941 Despite the bad storyline, the movie had its best moments like the excellent cinematography and the emotional scenes between Peter parker and Gwen Stacy.

i agree

No

As a McFarlane fan, absolutely not. Spawn live action had potential. But ultimately missed the mark. Cgi was subpar at best even for its time.

Agreed, Spawn was cool af. No matter what bad list and fanboys say.

@@lambeauoriginal9062 I am surprised Spawn still has a fan base considering he is a crappy throwback to 90 superhero comics hell he is pretty much the black version of Lobo

I liked Spawn as well. Not to mention, amazing soundtrack. Especially a fan of the Filter/Crystal Method track. Also, Batman & Robin is pure cheese, which I'm kind of a sucker for. Call it a guilty pleasure, if you must.

Plus Helen Slater. And a powerful Jerry Goldsmith score.

No

The WHOLE movie should have been this.

I agree with all of these opinions. especially the Bloodshot part. I thought it was a.........entertaining film to say the least.

@@meowfive7686 No you watch movies for the plot.

@@bakedbeans5494 It depends on the movie. For example John Wick 3 or Indonesian film The night comes for us are both very lack luster in plot, but succeed extremely well with it's action choreography making them both staples in the genre.

@@meowfive7686 No it applies for every movie. The most important thing in a movie is the plot. Watching movies for mindless entertainment ruins your opinion.

Shawn, you got that wrong, The Power Rangers movie remake is from 2017 and it was a piece of trash.

Agreed. Both of my parents didn’t like the movie

I personally liked both of the Suicide Squad movies. I would enjoy seeing more of them. I didn’t mind Morbius either though it was pretty predictable I would like to see more. Just wish Sony would let Kevin Feige handle things from here on out.

Me too. I think it sucks for those who read the comics.

It's bad for horror but good for super heroes.

Well, I liked it.

I liked it. There are half a dozen or more superhero films worse than some on this list. Watch BarbWire or Tank Girl if you want to see a horrid comic book movie. Return of Swamp Thing. The made for TV superhero films; Dr Strange, Nick Fury, Captain America. Marvel's 1st attempt.

@@TheRealTestFry2024 I thought the opposite.

yeah it was horrible

same

The Rock would be miscast. Better go with Chris Hemsworth.

Being a big fan of both Doc Savage and George Pal, that movie was one of the biggest disappointments of my life!

I read some Doc Savage comic books and did not even know movie existed.

Doc Savage was also in magazines and comic books not just novels however I don't know what the total is. However, makers of movies often ignore the source material. Which often piss off fans.

@@hydrolito Did you read any of the 181 reprinted novels ?
