it’s difficult to consider joel schumacher’s initial turn at the helm of the batman franchise absent an awareness of the hideous film that would come after . all the signs are there—cartoonish flair threatening , scenery - chomping actors where batman villains should be , bat nipples—but if viewed without remembering this would all lead to batman and robin , it’s possible to enjoy aspects of the film . opening mis - en - action , à la bond movies—here with batman ( val kilmer ) foiling two - face ( tommy lee jones ) —schumacher’s film establishes off the bat a sense that this is a day in the life for our caped crusader . unfortunately , once jim carrey ’s riddler fully takes the stage , it all dissolves into a mug - off between two of batman’s more important non - joker adversaries that’s in no way true to the actual characters . ( though , granted , ahnold’s turn as mr . freeze a few years later was enough to make one long for the subtlety of carrey’s performance . ) still , ultimately , for anyone who has seen batman and robin , it’s difficult not to suppress a shudder when viewing this particular take on the dark knight . —m . b .

gadot served two years on the israeli defense force as a combat trainer . little did she realize the experience would prepare her to play a superheroine . gadot told people that the training for wonder woman “reminded me a lot of my time during army training . ” so which was tougher ? getting ready for the film was
more intensive ,

“we asked ourselves when we started : ‘does the world need more video ? ’ the answer , on the surface , is ‘no , ’ ” said hammer , a stanford - educated austrian who leads super deluxe . “but there is an opportunity now to build an entertainment business that looks like , and takes in , the best of hollywood . ”
dean : i just want to dig my finger in my brain and scratch until we ' re back in kansas . reference to the wizard of oz , a 1900 novel by l . frank baum that has been adapted into several different works , the most famous being the 1939 film the wizard of oz , starring judy garland . in it , a young woman named dorothy is swept up in a tornado and transplanted in an alternate dimension .
sepideh farsi , an iranian filmmaker based in france , moves from live - action fiction and documentary into animation with the siren , a co - production between france’s les films d’ici and belgium’s lunanime . the 2d / 3d film , which touches on themes of political resistance , also presented at last year’s cartoon movie . ( films can be presented multiple times at the forum , based on what stage of production it’s in . ) here is the synopsis :
cartoon , following a giant , hovering box of fries , a six - foot milkshake , and a rolling sphere of meat as they “solve” “mysteries” in their local new jersey town , mysteries which usually involve horrifying violence toward their next - door neighbor , carl ( dave willis ) . what probably began as a teenage mutant ninja turtle parody has long since abandoned anything that would be classified as a point , and that’s probably how willis and maiellero like it . they probably don’t care if you feel the same way either .
comes off . playing the wacky sidekick is rob schneider , giving audiences the full schneider , which is to say annoying the holy shit out of audiences every time he mugs or utters a panicky , would - be catchphrase ( i . e . , damn near constantly ) . the film deservedly flopped at the box office and with critics—gene siskel named it one of the worst films of 1995—and it would take 17 years for the stench to disperse long enough to finally
“there are unpredictable perils of fate and destiny that are intertwined in each of these young people’s lives while they strive to achieve their dreams on the singular platform of the cricket pitch . but the rivalry among the teams spills over into their off - the - pitch lives although the ultimate lessons are the values they acquire from each other in this ‘super sixes’ tournament , ” the director added .

unpredictable perils of fate and destiny are both the subjects of their lives . the kinetic journey goes through friendship , love , madness and creativity : the young individuals unbridled hopes of youth take them to a professional tournament called the ‘super sixes’ . rivalry among the teams begins , not only on the pitch but outside it too . along the way they discover the true meaning of love , friendship and most of all courage .
the adam west batman film offers the sort of gleeful insanity you need to inflict upon modern comics fans who are unaware of its existence , because once you’ve seen it , you’ll never forget it . with a plot that defies any attempt toward description , it’s the height of camp , featuring incredible performances by cesar romero , frank gorshin and especially the great burgess meredith , as the joker , riddler and penguin respectively , in a team - up to take down the caped crusader and his dopey ward ( burt ward , that is ) . the film is just a string of jaw - droppingly silly moments , one right after another—the “shark - repellent bat spray” gives way to penguin’s bird - shaped submarine , and into the two full minutes of west running around with a giant bomb held over his head , unable to find a place to dispose of it . there isn’t a more campy or joyful superhero movie on this entire list . but be warned— batman ’66 is best paired with your booze of choice . —j . v .
finally , some criteria . to be considered for this list , a film must possess at least two of the following three qualities : 1 ) it must involve costumed shenanigans , 2 ) it must involve a superpowered protagonist and / or 3 ) the protagonist must exist in a world where the supernatural / extraordinary is demonstrably present . these criteria are why meta - commentary films like kick - ass and super are not on this list . and it’s also why some films with pulpy characters like zorro , tarzan and conan are not , while others like the phantom are . ( zane’s costume combined with the skulls of touganda do the trick . ) admittedly , the lines gets blurry . also absent from this list is any consideration of foreign superhero films . that’s not because some are not worthy—especially given the movie quality issue mentioned at the top—it’s just an area we’d rather get better versed in before pouring into this list . next year , perhaps .
this father ' s education methods are hilarious and a conservative ' s nightmare . they make for the most funny parts of the film , but there are plenty of thought - provoking scenes too . mortensen deserved his oscar nomination in the lead role , dominating every beautifully shot scene , although all other performances are great too . the result is a quirky comedy drama that clearly wanted to walk in little miss sunshine ' s shoes but ends up a tad too pretentious in its final act . still , very enjoyable and entertaining .
list requires the exclusion of arguably good films to select the best 100—for superhero movies ? the pickings get slim after 40 . in fact , the real challenge for this list was choosing amongst the dreck ( some of it beloved dreck ! ) that would fill out the bottom half . it turns out it’s much easier to argue for or against a top 10 film’s exact placement ( and frankly , compelling arguments could be made for almost any of our top 5 as deserving the # 1 position ) , than weighing the relative “merits” of
part of the ’90s pulp movie train that included the phantom and the rocketeer , russell mulcahy’s the shadow is the least of the trio , though that’s really more a function of setting than anything else . alec baldwin ’s lamont cranston comes from the well - established “crime - fighting multi - millionaire” school of do - gooder ( that’s got to be the best school , right ? ) and the shadow’s powers to befuddle minds and be invisible make him the bookish , pasty cousin of the high - flying , nazi - battling rocketeer or the jungle - to - new york - and - back - again phantom . nonetheless , even as the script hobbles the film’s otherwise sleek design , baldwin shows an alec guinness - worthy ability to inhabit strange characters and deliver potentially hokey lines with sincerity and charm . ( seriously , check out his turn as the conductor in 2000’s thomas and the magic railroad —the man kills it . ) but while that may make the film must - see for all his fans , it’s probably not enough to justify anyone else seeing it . —m . b .
justly escapes the condemnation ben affleck got for his go at daredevil , and the action scenes and cast of villains have some moments , but none sustained enough to replace the feeling on the viewer’s part that even if this film was a box office bomb which landed with a critical thud , it might not have missed by as large a distance as many others on this list . but , hey , a miss is a miss , and much like the man without fear , elektra would just have to wait for netflix for her next iteration .
super deluxe , which launched early last year , is testing different forms of storytelling to engage young viewers . it has sought out unconventional characters to develop scripted programs for television , screwball contests for the internet , political spoofs and other videos , including the over - the - top telenovela , for facebook live , the platform that enables users to share live videos with their friends . the videos have generated eye - popping traffic numbers and high levels of viewer engagement .
writer david goyer was clearly in way over his head beyond oswalt’s telling in directing this sequel . so many terrible decisions made it all the way to the celluloid—parker posey’s woefully miscast vampire villainess , the short , trunk - necked dracula with underbite fangs and played more as a wwe heel ( instead of an ancient evil awoken after centuries ) by dominic purcell , and even posey’s little pomeranian dog that’s actually a reaper - thing ? you know , the super vampires from
( and its sequel , and 2015’s trankian abomination… ) fails . for whatever reason , the writers , directors and studio decision makers shy away from just allowing one of marvel’s transcendent villains from being himself . thus , while michael chiklis’ thing and chris evans’ human torch ring true , ioan gruffudd’s mister fantastic is serviceable , and jessica alba is , eh , jessica alba , the film’s thunderous whiff on victor von doom leaves viewers new to the material unimpressed and fans of the source material keenly aware of what’s been squandered . but hey , at least the sequel features galactus , right ?
thomas jane as frank castle—he doesn’t announce that he is the punisher until the movie’s last dud of a moment—looks good in a black tee - shirt and a leather duster . he is the perfectly serviceable punisher , and as the psp , jane’s whole dead - eyed android schtick seems like a reasonable character decision to make for an actor responding to the script before him . so when he stabs a slimy thug through the jaw—when he , inevitably , kills everybody —you feel fine about it . he has well - sculpted muscles . the film’s real treat is john travolta as tampa crime lord howard saint , a damnedly vain man slowly transforming into a bitter gargoyle , and a prime argument for travolta’s late - career purpose as vod cinema’s go - to slick asshole / bad guy . in fact , once the punisher reaches its third act , when all of castle’s “punishments” start clicking into place , jonathan hensleigh’s film feels like it could , just maybe , have been something great—capped off with a final murder so satisfying it should both shame and captivate you . meanwhile , rebecca romijn listens to some dope - ass nü - metal and beta version ben foster is here , real sweaty . —d . s .
if this first incredible hulk stand - alone movie had come along later , in the days of the mcu , it never would have been placed into the hands of ang lee . it’s a truly lofty endeavor , but one that is badly misjudged by its writers and oscar - winning director . the hulk simply isn’t a character that fits or deserves “greek tragedy , ” as lee was quoted in describing the film’s theme . in the end , he’s a dual character—a typically unlikable , whiny scientist , and a raging , smashing automaton , neither of whom lend themselves well to daddy issues and attempts at deep pathos . the film’s interesting aspects tend to revolve around its unique visual style , which lee used to directly reference and allude to the sequential , flowing experience of flipping through comic panels . however , it’s simultaneously let down somewhat by cheap - looking hulk visuals ( even for 2003 ) , and an antagonist in the form of bruce banner’s father as played by nick nolte , who feels like he’s walking through his scenes , improvising every other sentence . this hulk aspired toward grand psychological drama for a character the mcu later proved was much more lovable in a more limited capacity . —j . v .
a neon noir reveling in vulgarity , punisher : war zone may be the nastiest marvel movie the company’s ever put their name behind ( counting deadpool ) , mostly because of ray stevenson , who plays frank castle with enough gnarled dread to make any of film’s levity seem well earned . director lexi alexander of course doesn’t shy away from the franchise’s patented superhuman hyper - violence—witness more than one fully collapsed face within the course of three minutes—and her sense of space in otherwise straightforward action scenes is pretty impeccable . all in all , it’s tasteless , gross , visceral , endlessly surprising and totally without expectation—it is , in other words , the kind of superhero movie “they” just don’t make anymore . i don’t know whether that’s a good thing or not . —dom sinacola
oddball in the series : the dev team ( led by hiroji kiyotake ) made a deliberate decision to do away with conventional ideas featured in the mario series so that their game could stand on its own legs . examples of their decision - making include the game ' s plot ( which features mario fighting to retake something that belongs to him rather than to save someone else ) , mario having his own kingdom and castle , and the sound effects ( which , in an earlier build , were the same as those featured in super mario world , but were changed mid - development to new sounds so as not to give players the impression that they were playing the
downgraded
version of a
real
mario game ) .
