Top 10 Worst Superhero Movies

You know what's interesting? We can blame both of the Schumacher movies on the box office failure of Batman Returns, if Batman Returns was a box office hit and people responded positively to it, the studio would never have kicked Tim Burton off the franchise and Schumacher would never have been brought on board, so yeah, the failure of Batman Returns is the main cause of this disaster

I'm trying to count how many budget cuts they had in this movie. I still haven't finished.

Worst Movie Ever.
Bat credit card, the costumes, stupid puns, this movie is one of the worst movies of all time!

So annoying and boring. Not epic at all batman had a terrible voice and mr freeze was just pure annoying

How to make a terrible superhero movie: Take a step forward by making a female-led superhero movie, then take eight steps back by having her do battle against MOISTURIZER. I mean, this movie doesn't even honor its source material. Catwoman's name isn't even Selina Kyle! I hope they someday make a good Catwoman movie that actually has to do with its source material.

This movie is just unbelievably terrible, I can't even explain it. All that you have to is watch it, it has to be seen to believe. Not only is it the worst superhero movie I have ever seen, but it is the 5th worst movie I have ever seen.

Do they even have the rights to use the title? Her name is not even Selina Kyle in this movie! Also the dominatrix outfit just doesn't fit the Cat. Halle Berry should just stick to being Storm.

The basketball scene which is 1 minute and 47 seconds long, has a total of 137 scene shots in total which is just dreadful.

What a bad movie. It has enough problems to fill up a quarter of the earth. Firstly, it should be renamed 'What Happened before the Fantastic Four became the Fantastic Four' because that's what most of the film is about. Either make it longer or make the 'get ready the machine' part shorter. Oh and after they get hit by the meteors and gain their powers they become totally cool with it 1 scene later? Why? This film could have been at least decent judging by the trailers but it was wasted. Well at least they tried. But other than that this movie was baad.

Completely horrendous. Anybody who hates this film has an excellent taste in movies. It doesn't even stay true to the title, most of the film is virtually 'build this machine' and the actual action not only lasts a short amount of time, but is also just unspeakably bad. It's just awful all round with bad pacing, plot, forgettable characters, and like I said, has a misleading title. My current least favourite film, coming from someone who almost never tends to hate movies he watched.

The plot of this thing is basically 'make this machine and go inside'. No seriously, it is, they might as well rename the movie that. The action altogether lasts at most half an hour. And don't get me started on the boss fight. Or the ending. Seriously, either make the film longer, or cut down the make the machine things. And why would they be content with their powers straight after getting them. Not just the worst superhero movie but also my personal least favourite movie ever (tied with another superhero film that I won't mention for now) as well as what I feel is the worst structured/written film I've seen.

This movie was by far the worst superhero movie that I've seen. Fantastic 4 was so dark, gritty, and boring that it almost made me fall asleep watching it. There are really no good qualities of this movie and it makes the 2005 Fantastic 4 look like a masterpiece.

What a horrible movie, I loved the first 2 superman movies, but then the 3rd one came out and I said "please don't tell me you're going this route" and then this steaming pile of crap came out, it's so cheap that they use the same shot of superman flying for every flying scene, also, nuclear man? Really? What kind of dumbass villain is that?

Remember when you were watching your favorite Superman movie and you heard about this, watched it and was disgusted at the awful quality? Yeah, me too.

It's really bad if the first few seconds of the movie gave me nasty headaches. And it didn't stop until the end credits began rolling

Worst Superman film ever. Nothing else with Superman even comes close to be this horrible.

One of the commenters, that more than likely voted for Batman v Superman as the worst, said "I heard it goes for something like 3 hours". This just shows how people bandwagon hate. I bet many people voted for a movie on this list even though they have never even seen it. I myself ALMOST voted for Fant4stic, even though I never saw it. This move has flaws but is not an awful movie.

Way too over hyped and tries too hard to be a good movie. At least most of the other movies high up in this list knew they were bad movies in the first place and don't try to hide that fact. Add in the fact that this was to be a starting point for the DCU, it created a complete disaster for subsequent films to try and fix.

Even though this is new it still sucks. The plot sounds good but zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan are bad at directing. DC nowadays is wiping their asses with $100 bills. Don't watch this movie unless you want to have your childhood shredded into pieces.

This is the most disappointing DC movie I have ever saw. There is no reasons given as to why Batman and Superman are fighting and the reason for why they stop fighting is BS. Plus Wonder Women has no reason to even be in the movie at all.

This movie is terrible it should be 1 but they have Fantastic Four which is a terrific movie up there. It is just stupid

It's not that bad, definitely better than fantastic four (2015).

Hey look! The spinoff nobody asked for!

Gotta admit, that kiss scene was hot!

This movie was eh

I HATE THIS MOVIE! First off, the cgi, is HORRIBLE, hulk looks more confused than angry, 2nd off, why does hulk sound like someone smacking on their food and makng noises, 3rd, HULK BARELY DOES ANYTHING! Seriously all he does is either stand there or destroy stuff for no reason, 4th, what is up with the acting, 5th, why does hulk look like Shrek? 6th, the music is ANNOYING. 6th, barely has a villain, and OBVIOUSLY they know nothing about the hulk comics because if they did, then they would know that the obsorbng man is NOT Bruce's father, they would know it's Brian Banner, and they stated that hulk was created by Bruce's father? This movie is all types of DUMB!

I don't think I have ever seen worst CGI in a movie. The Hulk just looks horrible and the movie itself was just meh.

It was the wrong time to make this movie, considering it relies heavily on special effect, now with the success of all their other movies, if done right, I think Marvel could make a good movie out of this character, or at least make him a side character, his design in GOTG was great. And even if he only said 3 lines they sounded like they were something iron man would say. But if they're gonna make a movie about him, make it about him fighting against his villain not just living a normal life in the human world, cause we don't wanna rehash this crappy movie again, seriously, the 80's was a crappy time for movies based on cartoons, ex. Masters of the universe, and for comic book movies, ex. This movie

You guys honestly think that Superman Returns, Suicide Squad, Batman vs. Superman, Daredevil, and Green Lantern are worse than Howard the Duck? You would rather watch a movie with duck boobs, cheesy effects, and a romance between a duck and a human (that almost involves sex), than watch one of the other movies I listed above? They aren't masterpieces, but they aren't without redeemable qualities. Howard the Duck, however, is just an embaressment to everyone involved and an embaressment to watch.

UGGGH! This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Marvel was in a dark time, with only one movie under their belt, spider man 1977 (which is almost as bad as this one), and this movie didn't help at all. Things in this movie aren't action-consequence, like good movies. Things just happen at random here.

Can't believe it isn't rated the worst ever. Maybe, because so few people sawit? How bad is it? I'd rather eat kale every day for the rest of my life rather than watch this movie ever again.

Yep I knew I would find this movie in here. The "plot" (hahaa I called it a plot) was messy and totally forced, most of the characters were underdeveloped, the villain was... wait ... there was a villain in this? I literally forgot about that character (the villain is forgettable for those who didn't got it) and not to mention that the music is awful. The only good things about this waste of a movie are Margot Robbie and Will Smith. They are the highlights of the film and they are probably the most developed characters in the whole movie (maybe El Diablo too). Now I know what you're thinking: "What about Jared Leto's joker? ". Well honestly... I actually appreciate that Jared Leto tried to bring something to this character in THIS movie. And I don't think he's that bad at all. I just wish we could've gotten more out of him. He is clearly not the best joker (played by Mark Hamill) but he is ok.

This is honestly the worst comic book movie I've seen in my life. I'm not exaggerating. It is absolutely baffling how incomprehensible, poorly edited and outright repulsive this pile of garbage is.

I though BvS was bad, but this is just another level. The editing feels like it was done by a 9 year old for a school project. Almost all the performances are either too bland or too over the top, which is shocking, since these are almost all very talented people (aside from Jai Courtney and Joel Kinnaman). Almost all the characters are wasted and have almost nothing to them, and the ones who we do get to know about are characterized through obnoxious flashbacks that feel like they were crammed into the film without any thought story structure or pacing.

The movie had potential to be something new and interesting for the comic book movie genre, and also had the potential to be a genuinely good movie. Jared Leto had the potential to be a good Joker. But that's all wasted in ...more

If you think that critics are giving the movie bad reviews because they're Marvel fanboys, then you have no understanding of the word criticism. It's a bit ironic to be so sore about the critics being sore, isn't it?

This movie straight sucked. The only thing I liked was Will Smith being in it at all, and captian boomerang. If the best part of your movie is Captain Boomerang, you're doing something wrong.

This is an example of DC having a character who's a major ripoff of a marvel character, seriously this guy ripped off iron man in every way, and he even rips off robocop, it's so weird how the majority of the worst comic book movies ever are DC movies. Catwoman, Batman and Robin, Superman returns, Batman forever, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Batman, Batman Begins, Batman Returns, and Steel, Marvel had a few bad ones but there were only 4 of them. Elektra, Daredevil, Howard the Duck and Ghost Rider Spirit Of Vengeance. That's all. And I'm so sick of the way they make black people talk, newflash movie studios, just because someone is black doesn't mean they talk like rappers, plus it takes like 30 minutes before he becomes the superhero, also this is the most pathetic superhero on the face of the earth, he can't run after a car, he gets beat up multiple times in the movie, he has a hard time climbing a ladder, he has no idea how to use his weapons and he doesn't know how to ...more

AKA: How to not be super, how to barely be a hero, and how to not write a script.

DC has officially shown us the most pathetic superhero on the face of the earth

The steel from the comics is not pathetic but the one from the movie is pathetic

I didn't know that the reboot was a reboot this movie was so bad (yet it made a reference).

Let's just forget this film exists, okay?

Batman and robin was bad, but it was bad in a fun way.

This is just disappointingly bad

The only thing that prevents the Ghost Rider films from entering my worst comic book movie list is Nicolas Cage's overracting which is always fun to watch.

What person looked at Johnny blaze and thought "Nicholas cage is the man for THIS role"

I think this movie was alright, but the only thing I hated about it was Electro's death. He had POTENTIAL to be a reformed villain, yet the writers just killed him off the storyboard. He just wanted to be respected. And his death wasn't even done in a good way. He just died, a few seconds of him laying on the ground and that was it. I'm disappointed.

This was noticeably just made for money and sequels, they marketed Rhino, even though he's in this movie around five minutes, tried to rush the Green Goblin and had God awful CGI to Electronic, Slams that together with no real motives at all and bad directing and you'll get this piece of crazy movie.

I don't know anyone who wasn't totally disappointed with this film. One of my best friends, who thought the 2012 film was the best of the series, absolutely hated it. I know the negotiations are just in the early stages but I seriously hope Sony gives Spider-Man back to Marvel.

The whole thing could have been avoided if mark wasn't a douche and just shut off the power so max could fix the wire.

Part of it is really good. But halfway through it becomes weird and overall bad (not to mention that they butchered Deadpool).

That video game though

So bland and boring

A horrible movie that butchered 2 of the greatest X-Men characters ever, Deadpool and Gambit

It would Have at least been an ok movie if it wasn't for that annoying editing, like who thought that was a good idea, the most used one is for no reason the film speeds up for 2 second, but the worst was when he gets shot by a rocket and that causes him to float in the air and spin around, what were they thinking? And ghost rider is barely in this movie, in the first movie he was in it a lot, but in this movie he gets his powers taken away, why? We want to see ghost rider, this is one of the worst comic book movies of all time

The best parts of this movie we're the ones involving the Ghost Rider. The rest was hot garbage.

Ghost rider was actually ok. This atrocity, however, is a dark mark on marvel.

Did Marvel and Cage just get drunk 1 day and decide to make this movie?

It's not that bad. It's just more comical. This movie is the reason I love superheroes so much. Let me tell you the cycle:

I love Jim Carrey because he's my favourite comedian > Jim Carrey is the Riddler > The Riddler became my favourite Batman villain > I got Batman: Arkham City because it has the Riddler in it > I read Riddler comics > Then I gave Batman: The Animated Series a shot > I love Batman and his rogues gallery > Batman was in Justice League: The Animated Series > I watched it and now love DC superheroes > I watched the New 52 movies > Now I am a major fan of superhero movies.

Should be higher on the list, only saved by the fact that Batman & Robin was even worse.

This was a little...

Chris Evans is horrible at playing human torch.

It is just plain boring

Plain boring? The 2015 film was a milion billion times worse than this.

Supergirl looks like superman with photoshop hair and boobs, we're in for a good movie.

It was'nt really a gender-swapped superhero it was technically Superman's cousin. By the way, that DC Superhero Girls was plain awful.

Why isn't this higher? There's nothing good about it.

It's not your typical marvel movie but it's way better than all of them, heck it's box office destroyed most of Phase one's. people don't see how realistic it would be if superman actually came to this world, because this movie clearly proves it. Beautiful Soundtrack and not to mention the next two movies B.V.S and Suicide Squad destroyed the first 3 marvel movies so imagine how great the future DC movies will be

Ok, so Superman is a "Superhero." If so, why did a bomb go off and kill millions of people?!?! See, isn't Superman supposed to save the day? Really people?!?! Like, it was a setup for Batman V Superman, but seriously. He's supposed to save the world!

Bad screenplay, bad actor (including Henry Cavill and Amy Adams), poor OST, not soul. I prefer Superman Returns to this thing. They don't Know how show to superman in the cinema. I mean, Superman Lives not y yes for man of steel. I think what is the different between man of steel and superman lives? Nothing, the screenplays about two movies were destroy the history about superman. I think so.

This is not even a bad movie. It has some flaws and an overly long end series of fight sequences, but is not bad at all. Infact, it's pretty awesome and is even voted in the top 20 on this website in their top superhero movies of all time list.

What what, this is thirteen on best, this is one of the best. I'm sorry you want explosions and punching, then sod off and watch mos. Plus no violence in superman one and it gets love.

Really? This movie is kindof boring but is not a bad movie. It had like 78% or something on rotten tomatoes for crying out loud. It does not deserve to be placed with these other truly bad movies in the top 10

No one could replace Christopher Reeve. The story was okay, but I just wish it came when the real superman was still around.

It wasn't that bad, Kevin spacey did a great job as lex Luthor. It wasn't phenomenal or anything, but it was pretty good.

Absolute worst entry in the entire X-Men franchise.

I can't believe they had the audacity to drag poor Jessica Chastain into this appalling trainwreck of a movie.

I was like 7 when this came out. So when Peter went emo and started dancing down the street and all that weird stuff, I thought it was pretty funny. But now I watch it, and I'm like, how much did they pay him to do this? Not enough. Also, I did not understand Sandman's weakness - water, right? Well, near the end of the movie, the guy has tears in his eyes! Oh, let's not forget Harry's glider can be controlled by him, right? Because he called it back to him when he and Peter had their fight in the city. So when Venom had the glider and was about to kill Peter, why did Harry jump in front of him? He could have just called it back to him! Other than that, the movie was okay. But compared to the new ones with Andrew Garfield, this is way better. Seriously, how does he put that mask on with that full head of hair?

I honestly kind of liked this movie, that is, until venom came along. It looked STUPID! I'm not going to explain it, but just click on the picture of the poster, and take a close look at venom. Not enough to convince you? Google "spider-man 3 venom" then you might get what I'm talking about. If you're a venom fan, I recommend the 2018 venom movie. Tom Hardy made for a much better venom.

I don't care what you say, I love this movie, its definitely the worst out of the magurie spiderman and one of the worst spiderman movies of all, but I love it, it is so enjoyable.

I don't understand the hate this movie gets. I mean it could have been better. Venom was done bad, but other than that I thought it was very good. It had cool action scenes, it was the darkest one, and it even had some funny moments. It was good.

I hate them all! Their asss! Their not heroes! I want Luigi to kick their ass hard as he can!

I just hate what they did to galactus, seriously, that wasn't galactus it was a storm cloud

Come on guys, even though the first one was bad, this one is actually really good
