One-Line-Review of Every Superhero Film Seen

Haha. This was really creative! I enjoyed reading it. Good job!

This needs a 5 star rating system but it was amusing none the less

good reviews most of the way, but mate how can you say that about superman 1 and 2, they were excellent movies. alot better than the recent marvel ones.

Superhero movies have had three game changers [turning points]:

SUPERMAN(1978)

The film's legacy presaged the mainstream popularity of Hollywood's superhero film franchises. Superman also established the superhero film genre as viable outside the world of Saturday matinee serials, although it was a decade before the comparable success of the Batman series and two decades before that of X-Men and Spider-Man.

BATMAN (1989)

It influenced Hollywood's modern marketing and development techniques of the superhero film genre. It was the first dark comic book movie; it influenced every dark and serious superhero movie that has followed.

AVENGERS (2012)

It redefined what a superhero movie can be. It's effects are being seen in the rise of team movies like Justice League and others like it in production. In a lot of ways, it showed Hollywood that a movie can be light (not dark) and still be highly successful. It has studios reassessing how they market superhero movies.

These movies are the real game changers in comicbook movie history.

@Preston, well put. It seems DC Comics is very singularly iconic, while Marvel builds a cohesive world. Both very prominent concepts in their own right.

Great stuff man

@ThunderKat spider-man 1 and TASM have both got weak villains. Spider-man 1 suffers from the green goblin lacking a motivation, After he kills the board of directors he says spider-man could stop him so he tries to get him to join him, Join him to do what though? If anything he should think spidey is incompetent because he failed to stop him from killing the board members, He's done what he set out to do. He's doing these horrible things just for the sake of it and to piss off spider-man, But dafoe is fantastic in the role and he is so entertaining to watch.


TASM suffers from Dr. Connors not getting developed enough and his transition into the lizard is too quick, We never really seem to get enough time with him to feel sympathy when he turns into the lizard. Once he does he just becomes the big bad spider-man has to fight. As for the lizards motivation there's not really that much you can do with the lizard other than his plot is to turn everyone else into lizards.

For the record, I don't hate the Superman films (the first two at least), and I do think Chris Reeves was absolutely perfect as Superman.

It's just the films themselves were a tad disappointing to me because I mainly got into Superman into Superman late, and by then the films weren't really like the Superman I knew.

If you liked them. I won't argue at all. It was just my own opinion.

@LEVITIKUZ

Hellboy was already made and released by the time TDK came out. The impact didn't begin until TDK became a hit. So I decided to draw the line when TDK was released, even if it was a week later.

@yossarian, i agree. i stopped reading after line 1, Superman.
