_Hellboy_ is better than _Iron Man_. I really don’t think _Iron Man_ was a tenth as good as everyone else seems to. _Hellboy II_, though I haven’t seen it, is probably even better still. I also don’t think any of the _Superman_ movies were that great. They had a whole bunch of stupid stuff in the middle of them that continue to bother me a great deal. ---

I don’t like making up lists of tens, so I’ll just say thay nobody’s mentioned one of my favorites: [_Mystery Men_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132347/). ---

Right now Dark Knight is probably sitting at my number 1, but… …the absolute worst superhero movie I have ever seen, even including the George Clooney Batman, was the Fantastic Four that was made some time in the late 80s early 90s so that the studio could hang on to the franchise. It had a plot loaf. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-and-worst-comic-book-movies/457046.md?page=1)
