Not every superhero movie can soar to the top – some are fated to fall flat on their faces. For these films, it’s pretty obvious what stopped them from earning the critical reception they’d hoped for, be it a misused character or villain, an out-of-place scene, or a series of missed opportunities to do something interesting based on the already well-established source material. Many films are guilty of this, from the ridiculously silly Howard the Duck, to the earnest yet flawed Superman Returns, to the complete misstep that was Catwoman, among many, many others.

Clay Jensen???
why is origins deadpool always your #1 on worst superhero list? its fucking repetitive and unoriginal
I was fine with the Zod neck snap honestly. Especially since Superman shows immediate regret and pain at having to do it. He's rarely put into a position in movies or animation where there is no alternative. So this time, instead of there being some magical fix, it came down to just him and Zod. Zod was never going to stop and Superman didn't have any super friends, phantom zone, or weapon to stop him. He only had one choice.
So now you post the same thing but only changing the title
Batman Returns turns 25 today
Hey people, remember when Superman killed a powerless Zod in Superman 2? Yet Man of Steel is the movie they think of.
DC is getting darker such as the dark knight trilogy (no pun intended) and their not just going to change that in the new phase of actors are they.
Times like these is when I'm glad I'm not a hardcore comics fan, I'm just a casual fan watching Marvel and DC creations as movies and TV shows, never comparing them to the source material. Easier to enjoy them that I'd assume.
The TAS fight with cyclops is on my channel
I'd say most people like man of steel at the time not everybody loved it but everybody I personally know love it
Batman is depressing what did the fans expect?
People don't hate Zod's death because of the violence or anything like that, it's because the moment was super hypocritical: They had already killed thousands during their battle, destroyed half Metropolis and suddenly Superman starts caring about 1 family and "taking his first life". That's really hard to buy
Who the fuck hates Man of Steel??? is one of the best superhero movies ever!!!
So…no bvs Batman using guns or killing and calling hits on people…ok
I've never seen Scott Pilgrim but if I understood correctly, he's fighting his exes? So how come the one that knows about one of his exes sensitive spot is some random chick he's working with?
There is an elephant in this room…
and her name is Martha
Batman Returns: If the water was toxic how did the penguins themselves. Superman Returns: That movie sucked ass. The whole movie just blows.Iron Man 3: they did the same thing years later with The Ancient One in Dr. Strange
Also that was BS how they changed the rape scene in Kick Ass 2, in the comic The Motherfucker and the Toxic Mega Cunts rape Kick-Ass's high school girlfriend not attempt to rape Night Bitch.
"Did I leave the stove on?" PART HAD ME DYING
Cyclops loved? he is a dick and I enjoyed watching him die!
What about killing off Venom and Batman's nipples?
Controversial-Mixed thoughts on a subject.
Bad-Something almost everybody hates
To be fair, the original version of the Mandarin would've been too controversial to put on film, due to being based on racist stereotypes of Chinese people.
Regarding Superman killing Zod, you completely gloss over the fact of how distraught he's shown to be after doing it. Also… SUPERMAN KILLED ZOD IN THE GOD DAMNED COMIC BOOK IN THE 80'S. Both times he was left with no other option.
What fucking retarded SJW Feminazis think Scott Pilgrim should have asked permission before STOPPING A CRAZY BITCH FROM KICKING HIM TO DEATH?
The Man of Steel of climax was really well done. It was an emotional moment that added gravity to supermans character because being forced to kill Zod who is the only other kryptonian is what gives him his no killing mentality as he feels guilty about what he was forced to do
Am I the only person not bothered by the Mandarin plot twist?
The man of steel 2013 is the best superman film to date you picky bastards better than nothing
I liked that superman killed zod, it was a last resort, and he clearly felt horrible for doing it. it was a nice change of pace on the super bland superman.
Number 1 should have been just "Deadpool overall" in Origins.
Lol damn watch mojo trolling the fan boys?
Man of steel was by far the best superman movie. Zack Snyder did a phenomenal job with supermans character development. Plus, Henry Cavil being an excellent actor.
Iron Man 2 was pretty awful, so 3 would have to be something real dire to be worse than it.
Where the fuck was the Martha thing from batman v super man. Oh right that wasn't controversial it was just stupid
Batman V Superman was kind of Superman Returns all over again. I also want to point out that Superman IS NOT GOD!
Man of Steel is a masterpiece. I don't care what anyone says. That ending where he killed Zod was justified. He saved billions of people by destroying the world engine then saved metropolis from Zod.
Penguin's death scene gave me nightmares. A lot of nightmares
I hate that simon ad. "Proudly Canadian". Then why aren't any of those shots in Canada? And "proudly Canadian for 175 years!". That's cool, considering Canada is celebrating its 150 year this July 1st. Terrible ad all around. Just pisses my off now.
No MARTHA mention? That was the worst thing in batman vs superman
Uh you ask anyone who their favorite X-Men character is and I guarandamntee you its not Cyclops.
But for movies sake the best characters they had were Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine and Cyclops. Probably could've saved the film if they used him right. X Men has gotten so boring. Especially with Lawrence in the films. The last movie wasn't even an Xmen film. It was Logan and it was perfect. Why not make a good movie good Hollywood?
We get it Watchmojo you think X -men origins Wolverine sucked ass
What I find stupid about the Zod scene is…. Hey Zod you can probably move your eyes too.. You know peripheral vision. Eyes can MOVE. Oh ya…. Plot got in the way.
MCUmojo
MARHTA!!!!!!!
Martha's scene in BvS should have been the first place
the Mandarin was the biggest kick in the balls the MCU has given the fanbase.
the Zodd thing is ridiculous, besides that was DC breaking the smoke screen that marvel created with "family friendly" heroes, the scott pilgrim thing is BS.
but another subject is that, the whole Logan/Wolverine saga was always a disappointment since for a series so focused on the X experiments, we never got a glimpse of Omega Red who should have replaced dead pool in the final fight in origins!
i also think im the only one who loved the Silver Samurai in The Wolverine movie!
The most controversial movie moment was when Fox never laid out the timeline right for the X-Men franchise
I loved that they removed Deadpool's mouth!!! I can't stand him talking, can't understand if is talking to other heroes or if he talking to himself or the readers.
I'm not a Deadpool fan and that's why I say this.
But just to be fair, I do respect him, for his rule of never harming or killing kids. And for the fact that he loves kittens!!!
I may find him an idiot, but I respect this idiot.
Deadpool… I respect you.
Heck, Cyclops was hardly in X-men: United and on the Man of Steel movie. Everybody complains about him snapping Zods neck, but nobody says anything about him killing the babies of Krypton.
