I have to agree with everyone who mentioned Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. The movie sucked badly for several reasons, such as...
- The special effects budget was cut heavily during production. As a result, the special effects are incredibly fake-looking through most of the movie.
- The movie was far too preachy. Okay, Mr. Reeve, we get it: you think nuclear weapons are evil and bad. You don't have to shove it down our throats.
- A completely silly and forgettable villain. "Nuclear Man?" Give me a break.
- How the hell did Superman fix the Great Wall of China just by staring at it?
- When Nuclear Man kidnaps the Lacy Warfield and flies her into outer space, how did she manage to survive? I know that superhero movies usually require some suspension of disbelief, but even I found it impossible to believe that a person could survive unprotected in space.
- Poorly-edited. As mentioned above, how many times do we have to see the same shot of Superman flying toward the camera?

What is your problem with Gray? It’s not like she saved the day and showed up Spidey or something.
How can her appearing on stage, in an in-story concert, possibly top, in terms of crap, horrors like;
• Cap’s Plastic Ears,
• Batman’s Plastic Nipples,
• the entirety of Superman 4,
• the Hulk staring profoundly at desert flora for hours at a time,
• gray hair put on with a trowel in Fantastic Four,
• Dolf’s never wearing the Punisher shirt,
• TV’s Daredevil wearing black leotards,
• the inflatable/deflatable Bane,
• and on and on…

Hey, on the bright side, at least Lex Luthor figured out "Superman's genetic material won't be able to clone a suit, and a naked Nuclear Man would be a laughingstock!"
It was very clever of him to put a little tiny piece of cloth in the box before it got thrown into the sun strapped to a nuke, don't you think?

While it would have been nice if Gobby had tossed a pumpkin bomb down her throat and there was a scene of her blowing up, her presence wasn't enough to really ruin the movie was it?BrooklynKnight said:
The worst moment/feature of superhero movies is their reluctance to have the characters in the *BLEEPING* Costumes. Like in the first punisher movie, without the death's head on his chest, the Punisher is just another Charles Bronson vigilante clone. A movie called The Shadow, where you see "The Shadow" for about 5 min and the rest of the movie it's Alex Baldwin in a suit. Judge Dread where Stalone isn't wearing the outfit for about half the movie. I don't have a comprehensive knowledge of the AD2000 comics, but I have read a fair amount and I can't ever recall seeing JD taking off his helmet, nevermind the uniform. The actor isn't the star in a superhero movie, IT'S the bleeping CHARACTER!
Not having seen this alleged Fantastic Four movie, I'm going to continue to believe that no such thing was made.

Most of the fight scenes in Daredevil. In fact, most of the action in Daredevil. I've harped on it before, but to be brief:
- Lack of cinematism. When Neo lands in the Matrix movies, he drops to one knee. When a non-flying person in X-Men lands after a big leap, they roll. So what does our Daredevil do after a hundred-plus-foot fall? He lands with his knees very slightly bent. What? Why? It doesn't look good. It's not realistic (which is a lot less important than looking good in a superhero movie, but is occasionally acceptable as a reason). Ech.
- I have no idea how much of Daredevil's in-suit combat was Ben and how much was a stuntman. That said: If it was Ben, don't let Ben fight anymore. If it was a stuntman, give the stuntman a better choreographer, a better director, and a better costume (that gives him more freedom of motion), because those fights were terrible. The first fight of the movie was the best, and that was primarily because of its music-video cutting that made it tough to see what was going on.
I kind of grade on a curve here. I don't look at old Sean Connery Bond movies and say "Man, that's a lousy punch," because that punch, at the time, was better than anything else in Western cinema. The early Bond movies were years ahead of the competition in terms of putting in nasty and fairly realistic martial arts stuff. (Heck, the new stuff isn't bad. Brosnan ain't Jet Lee, but he usually convinces me that he's got dirty-fighting training at a paramilitary level -- or at least, he does with a good director and choreographer). So I'm not grading old movies on their fights as harshly as I'm grading Daredevil, which is newer.
I'd also add most of the Captain America movie -- or pilot, or whatever the heck it was. Captain America's big fight shouldn't be in a meat locker, and he shouldn't make bionic-man noises while pushing frozen cow carcasses at the bad guys. And he shouldn't pose at the end with a transparent shield while the scientist guy takes pictures of him with a kind of greasy, creepy feeling that suggests that any moment, the scientist is going to say in a voice oozing with sleaze, "Now, Tad, these are looking great, but to get into the magazines these days, you've got to give them a little more. Why don't you undo a few of those buttons?"

Apparently it is this person http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004975/
Having seen Spiderman about 15 times and owning the DVD I still cannot for the life of me place where she appears in the film.
Nice troll BK!
