Aquaman (2018)
I never really loved this movie. The plot is decent, but Aquaman is already a hard sell. Jason Mamoa is rad but he is similar to The Rock...

Justice "Josstice" League (2017)
This movie is the prime example of why Marvel’s formula of solo characters, then a team-up works so well. If you don’t follow that...

Wonder Woman (2017)

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
This movie gets a lot of flack. Most of the issues stem from Lex-related things. The first two acts are about the fallout and fear people...

Man of Steel (2013)
I’m gonna be real, I forgot how good this movie was. The story of Clark coming into his powers and literally being told by his dad the...

The Flash (released 6/16/23)
The fan service is what really pushes this movie over the top. It basically gave the middle finger to Marvel’s explanation of time travel...

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
The third act of the story has the character at rock bottom. The villain has the upper hand. The hero, with the help of their allies,...

Green Lantern (2011)
I may be a bit biased toward Ryan Reynolds, but I don’t think this movie deserves as much hate as it gets. There are parts of it that are...

Jonah Hex (2010)
This movie had a lot going for it, but it felt so hollow. There was a lot of talent on the cast but there were only 3 slightly...

Watchmen (2009)
This movie has 3 things: style, themes, and sex appeal. There are a lot of people who love The Watchmen and honestly, I have a hard time...

The Spirit (2008)
Stylistically, this movie is fantastic. It’s a fun, over-the-top superhero movie. The plot is ok and very heavy-handed at times. This is...

The Dark Knight (2008)

Superman Returns (2006)

Batman Begins (2005)

Constantine (2005)

Catwoman (2004)
I know, I’m shocked it’s this high, too. The movie has its…let’s say quirks. It was very similar to Daredevil in a lot of ways. From the...

This movie actually surprised me. Shaq can’t act for shit and the whole movie is one big cliche story and dialogue-wise is generic as...

Batman and Robin (1997)
