Isaac's Meandering Musings

OK, so I put put my list of the top 60 superhero films so far. Now I'll put out a list of some of the worst superhero adaptations: the ones you should avoid completely. The difficulty here is deciding which should go first, considering that they are all so bad. Anyway, here's my list, from worst to not-so-worst. I won't include TV or straight-to-video movies - only those intended for the big screen. 1. Catwoman (2003). 2. Supergirl (1984). 3. Batman & Robin (1997). 4. Spawn (1997). 5. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). 6. Jonah Hex (2010). 7. Elektra (2004). 8. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011). 9. The Spirit (2008). 10. Superman III (1983). 11. Steel (1997). 12. Ghost Rider (2007). 13. Judge Dredd (1995). 14. Green Lantern (2010). 15. Batman: The Movie (1966). 16. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). 17. Daredevil (2003).

Thought I'd break up the usual philosophical/theological writings by blogging about movies adapted from comic book characters. I'm a fan of the genre, so I thought I'd list the movies made so far from best to worst. But first a few comments on the criterion I've used. Firstly, I'm not listing the films according to how influential they are/were, or else films like Superman and X-Men would be much higher in my rankings. Instead, I'm listing the films according to overall quality , and , unfortunately (or fortunately , depending on how you look at it ), Superman and X-Men do not compare we ll to ma ny more recent films. Secondly , I won't include animated films, only live-action films; so films like Akira or Batman: The Dark Knight Returns won't be on the list , despite being excellent. Finally, I won't include superhero films not based on comic book characters, e.g., Robocop , The Matrix and Unbreakable . I give each film a rating out of 1...
