Top ten worst superhero movie moments/things

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!
I THINK she may have been up on stage during the whole party thing where Green Goblin first appears.

...if it isn't that, I don't know what. Either way, if that ruins a movie(especially Spidey), then its time to cry for the world.

The comic-book panel style of The Hulk. Sure, it worked sometimes, but mostly it was poorly executed... it hurt to watch.

There were one or two shots I didn't like, but, for the most part, I liked it.

Any Punisher movie (ugh the last one almost made the 1st one look good)

I actually liked both films. The first isn't a great work of art, but I enjoyed it (as was good for the time it was made). The second one I really liked except for a few points (see below). I know a lot of people hated the way Castle set up Saint (setting up his best friend and wife, etc), but I thought that made the picture. The comics Punisher would have just gunned everyone down, but this film showed some imagination.

Now for my least favorite moments:

1.) Every frame of every second of Schumacher's Batman films. Aargh!

2.) The costumes in Daredevil.

3.) Stephen Tolkin being given the job to write Captain America. In interviews, Tolkin said he never read the comics and thought the costume looked stupid, so he made sure Cap was in costume as little as possible. Why do studios hire people like this to write comic book movies?!

4.) Turning The Shadow into a comedy.

5.) The Absorbing Dad in Hulk. Really, couldn't they have used the Leader?

6.) Superman rebuilds the Great Wall of China with his Rebuild the Great Wall of China Vision. :uhoh:

7.) Superman turns back time.

8.) No skull T-shirt in the 1st Punisher movie.

9.) Intercutting the Punisher/Russian fight with the goofy apartment characters. Really threw off the flow of a pretty good fight.

10.) The Green Ranger, I mean Green Goblin. That was one ugly costume. :(

Honorable Mention: Did we really need the beginning flashback in Hulk? There was a half hour wasted to show us stuff that's going to be covered in detail later in the film. At least on DVD, you can skip it.

The inclusion of the Garth Ennis characters in the 2nd Punisher movie, especially Mr. Bumpo (make the pain stop!). Also included is the casting of Kevin Nash as the Russian. If they were looking to cast a pro-wrestler, they should have cast Paul Wight (aka, The Big Show, The Giant). While Nash is about 6' 8" and 300 lbs, Wight is 7' and over 550 lbs. He would have looked much more like the comic's Russian. Nash just didn't look right.

Whatever the hell went wrong in The Phantom. It had nice costumes, sets, and actors. I guess we can chalk it up to bad writing (a laser shootout for the climax?!) and lackluster direction.

Castle showing up at a press conference (and the lack of cops and FBI from that point on).

There's so much more (I didn't even get to Supergirl), but I'll stop now or I'll be here all night.
 

Gosh where to start.

Any of those superhero movies made in the early 90's. Shudders.

Not enough spidey dialouge in the spider man movies

Spiderman who is strong enough to lift 50 tons, punching Gobby and Doc Oc right in the face and neither really feeling it.

Too much Snipes Dialouge in Blade.

Having a perfectly good story and overlooking it in Blade 2, even though I enjoyed the movie

The same thing that everyone else mentioned about the superman movies.

Making Bane who is arguably one of the coolest villians ever from the Batman series a complete chump.

There are probably more in fact I know there is but... Oh well

The Seraph of Earth and Stone

True 'dat.

Gobby doesn't bother me, as he was similarly enhanced, and reacted as if he had been punched. Doc Ock bothered me a little, but Peter's the kind of guy that would pull his punches, so I'm ultimately comfortable with it.

Oh, and two things:

1) Y'all need to STOP talking about Superman IV. It happened. It sucked beyond all reason. But now is the time for the healing to begin.

2) On the other hand, DON'T stop talking about the Schumacher Batman movies. Some things are unforgivable, and some things are such blights upon society that they should not be forgotten and their creators should be harried until the end of their days. Personally, I think we should organize a Schumacher Harrassment Squad responsible for setting off car alarms whilst he tries to sleep, slowing down traffic in his general vicinity, and keeping him FAR, FAR AWAY from anything resembling super heroes.

As much blame as Schumacher has to shoulder, we can't forget the man who helped him create those unholy monstrosities: Akiva Goldsman.

As good as A Beautiful Mind was, I didn't want Akiva Goldsman to win the Oscar. In fact, no amount of good he does in the rest of his pitiful life will excuse those two Batman movies.

10 tons actually. ;)

Doc Ock getting slugged in the face and not going down bugged me, but I was bothered more by the amazingly indesctutible Aunt May. What 70 yr old woman can get tossed around like that? Let's face it, people that age break hips getting in and out of the tub.

Maybe Spider-Man was set in an alternate universe where people are more durable. :)

Yes, indeed there was. It didn't make it much better though.

Take a look here.

One of the pics there had Superman lifting a car with one finger, apparently. I can understand Superman being able to do that .. but what about the car? A fingertip would excert high pressure on the car and pierce it, if the whole cars weight would be on it.

In similar way, Hulk couldn't swing a tank holding it by the barrel like he did in the movie. While Hulk can lift 60 tons (or what M1 weights), the tanks gun barrel most certainly does not.

Thats a general gripe. I'm ok with superpowers and enjoy comicbook movies, by let the heroes be superpowered - not their mundane surroundings too.

Actually, this whole phemomena was pointed out in some semi-well known article somewhere around the time that the first superman movie came out. The author speculated that superman's powers were mostly TK, not super strength because of what you pointed out. John Byrne even used this theory in an issue of the Fantastic Four where some skrulls had tricked the Imperial Shi'ar guard character Gladiator into attacking the FF.
 

Byrne used this on the Superman revamp in 86.

Superman has an invisible aura around his body that not only allows him to fly and makes him invulnerable, it also protects clothing that are tight-fitting, that's why his costume escapes harm but his cape gets ripped.

This same aura holds objects together when Superman is carrying them, by an unconscious act of will (it also makes objects lighter for him when he's flying than when he's on the ground).

When scientists tried to clone Superman, the best they did in duplicating this aura was Superboy's telekinetic aura.
