I don't think its really a superhero movie, but if it is, The Shadow. Saw it the other night and my god...
So cheesy, so awful, so craptastic, and none of it in a 'it's so bad it's good' kind of way.

Superman returns wasnt even bad and I hate Superman the character.
Batman and Robin
Daredevil
Elektra
Ghostrider I and II
The Punisher
X-Man Origins: Wolverine
The Wolverine (whatever the sequel was called)
Fantastic 4
Fantastic 4: 2 (what a shitty name)
The Shadow
Spawn
The Spirit
Green Lantern
Spiderman 3
These are all shitty movies much worse then Superman Returns which is slightly above average for a super hero movie.

I might be the only person in the world who actually thought this was a good movie. Leguizamo was awesome in it.
The 3 HBO animated Spawn movies are tight.

Spawn is kinda like a cult classic, it was pretty awesome back in the late '90s. Michael Sheen's overacting and the terrible TERRIBLE CG effects, esp Hell and the Satan bat are laughably great.

The majority of these movies are better, or even MUCH better than Superman Returns
Batman and Robin is legitimately worse...and maybe "The Shadow" and "The Spirit"
The Wolverine >>>>>>
even Wolverine Origins is more interesting overall and the ending was an abomination

Catwoman is probably worse but if given the choice to watch that or Superman Return I might just pick Halley Berry
Did you even watch that?
The Wolverine is way underrated.
And my understanding, from clips I've seen and word of mouth, is that Catwoman is the worst.

The Wolverine COULD have been amazing...and the first half of that movie WAS amazing...it fell flat at the end unfortunately :(
They didn't even really bother to explain the Silver Samurai...you just had to accept it
regardless of the bad ending, that movie is still MILES better than Superman Returns

The 2nd Fantastic Four movie,
its the worst by far.

Outside of The Wolverine he's spot on. Superman Returns isn't bad, it's just kind of boring.
He forgot Catwoman, Superman III, Superman IV, and the first Punisher.

Superman Returns is extremely boring IMO...and extremely forgettable
It was bad to the point that they didn't want to continue the series with that actor

Singer on his own movie:
It was a movie made for a certain kind of audience. Perhaps more of a female audience. It wasn't what it needed to be, I guess. I think I could lop the first quarter off and start the movie a bit more aggressively and maybe find a way to start the movie with the jet disaster sequence or something. I could have grabbed the audience a little more quickly. I don't know what would have helped. Probably nothing. If I could go again, I would do an origin. I would reboot it.

even Wolverine Origins had an awesome Sabertooth, which is 100x cooler than anything found in Superman Returns
I would watch Wolverine Origins over Superman Returns, and just turn off the TV at the end fight scene lol

supermans outfit just looks stupid and is a stupid design. Nothing you can really do to make it look cool in real life. It looks just as lame in Man of Steel also. No one could pull that shit off.

Well it was bad compared to the comics, which aren't even that great. Also as a movie, for someone who knows nothing about Spawn, it was bad. It's just a really bad movie.

I agree...it's pretty much a lost cause
however it was improved upon in MoS...

:rolleyes: :lol
it was originally designed to evoke the look of early 1900s traveling circus strongmen and trapeze artists who were looked on as the ideal physical specimens at the time.
you still see people wear somewhat similar outfits in pro wrestling today.

okay that might be the case, but Routh looks like he is on his way to a gay parade...not that there is anything wrong with that other than it is just an awful look for a Superman Movie
but as Nick pointed out I suppose the outfit is a pretty gay design by nature...red underwear over blue tights lol...pretty difficult to make that look cool

Batman and Robin (one of the worst movies of all-time)
Catwoman (see Batman and Robin)
Daredevil (y'all are sleeping on this dreadful piece of shit)
Wolverine Origins (awful, rushed cliff notes version of Wolverine's backstory)
Man of Steel (Garbage. With friends like the superman in this film, who needs enemies?)

that's about as thick as hollywood chicks can get, unless you want some MMA fighter like gina carano to play her which is even more :facepalm than this actress.
anyways there are tons of superhero movies shittier than superman returns even if you go by critic ratings or fan ratings.
~primetime~
07-28-2014, 05:25 PM
The ratings for this flick are wrong though...it's a 76% on RT while Man of Steel is a 55% and not even Bryan Singer would say Returns is better than MoS.
If Returns was seen as a great movie then MoS would have never been made...they would have just kept going forward with Brandon Routh
It's high ratings can probably be attributed to simply being the first Superman movie to come out since Reeve.

Superman Returns butchered the character.
Making him a deadbeat dad, creepy ex-bf stalker, and made him oddly boyish / feminine. Well not odd considering it was directed by Singer, and his homo lovers wrote the script.
With that said ... there are tons of worse comic book movies. This one was just an out of touch circle jerk to Donner's '78 Superman, and had little action. Films like:
Howard the Duck
Captain America '90
Punisher '89
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin
Halle Berry's Catwoman
Blade 3
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 3
Punisher War Zone
Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four Rise of Silver Surfer
Thor
Thor DW
Iron Man 3
Superman II
Superman III
Superman IV Quest for Peace
Daredevil
Elektra
Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengence
X-Men 3 Last Stand
Origins Wolverine
The Wolverine
Ang Lee's Hulk
And that's just naming worse movies off the top of the dome. Though many of the ones listed were actually more entertaining, or accurate comic book movies as it pertains to the source material.
I rather have got Tim Burton's canceled, bizarre 1998 Superman Lives film then the one we recieved in 2006. A boring re-make essentially of the very first Superman movie, only with a kid.
The plane rescue sequence however is one of the best superhero action scenes put to film. Easily. That's the only reason to watch this movie IMO.
