10 BEST SUPERHERO MOVIES OF ALL TIME

Here’s our all time favorite Superhero movies based on the story line, aesthetic, plot, characterization, theme , screenplay and few other features . Over the years, the number of superhero movies (and superhero movie universes) has only grown, and they're now a cornerstone of almost every major movie studio. We’d love to feature our favourite masterpieces along the way.

 

       1. SUPERMAN (1978)

There were superhero movies before 1978's."Superman" starring Christopher Reeve as the titular Kryptonian, but this was the first to truly be a smash hit.

This movie begins on Krypton, where Superman's father sends him off to Earth as a young child. He grows up to be a perfectly normal newspaper reporter named Clark Kent. At least, he appears perfectly normal, until he transforms into Superman - flying around with his underpants over his tights, saving the day. When the evil Lex Luthor plans to take over the world, Superman is the only one who can stop him.

  2. BATMAN (1989)

Tim Burton's 1989 film "Batman," the first Batman movie in over 20 years, takes the campy hero from years past and turns him into a darker vigilante.

Having witnessed his parents' brutal murder as a child, millionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) fights crime in Gotham City disguised as Batman, a costumed hero who strikes fear into the hearts of villains. But when a deformed madman who calls himself "The Joker" (Jack Nicholson) seizes control of Gotham's criminal underworld, Batman must face his most ruthless nemesis ever while protecting both his identity and his love interest, reporter Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger).

3. SPIDERMAN (2004)

The first "Spider-Man" is a straightforward origin story, but 2004's "Spider-Man 2" takes the character to new heights.

When a failed nuclear fusion experiment results in an explosion that kills his wife, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is transformed into Dr. Octopus, a cyborg with deadly metal tentacles. Doc Ock blames Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) for the accident and seeks revenge. Meanwhile, Spidey's alter ego, Peter Parker, faces fading powers and self-doubt. Complicating matters are his best friend's (James Franco) hatred for Spider-Man and his true love's (Kirsten Dunst) sudden engagement to another man.

 

4. IRONMAN (2008)

"Iron Man" has spawned a behemoth of a franchise, with 21 more movies in its particular universe and billions of dollars at the box office.

A billionaire industrialist and genius inventor, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), is conducting weapons tests overseas, but terrorists kidnap him to force him to build a devastating weapon. Instead, he builds an armored suit and upends his captors. Returning to America, Stark refines the suit and uses it to combat crime and terrorism.

5. THE DARK KNIGHT (2008)

"The Dark Knight" remains the best superhero movie of all time, 12 years after its release in 2008.

With the help of allies Lt. Jim Gordonand DA Harvey Dent , Batman (Christian Bale) has been able to keep a tight lid on crime in Gotham City. But when a vile young criminal calling himself the Joker (Heath Ledger) suddenly throws the town into chaos, the caped Crusader begins to tread a fine line between heroism and vigilantism.

 

 

        6. CAPTAIN AMERICA : THE FIRST AVENGER

 

 Recipient of the Super-Soldier serum, World War II hero Steve Rogers fights for American ideals as one of the world’s mightiest heroes and the leader of the Avengers.

It is 1941 and the world is in the throes of war. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to do his part and join America's armed forces, but the military rejects him because of his small stature. Finally, Steve gets his chance when he is accepted into an experimental program that turns him into a supersoldier called Captain America. Joining forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), Captain America leads the fight against the Nazi-backed HYDRA organization.

 

 

7. THE WOLVERINE (2013)

James Mangold came onto this film after "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" left an amazing taste in everyone's mouth. Luckily, he course corrects enough where this is a really entertaining movie. That said, it's hard to believe Mangold would go on to direct "Logan," as well (still to come).

 

Lured to a Japan he hasn't seen since World War II, century-old mutant Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) finds himself in a shadowy realm of yakuza and samurai. Wolverine is pushed to his physical and emotional brink when he is forced to go on the run with a powerful industrialist's daughter (Tao Okamoto) and is confronted -- for the first time -- with the prospect of death. As he struggles to rediscover the hero within himself, he must grapple with powerful foes and the ghosts of his own haunted past.

 

 

 

              8.  GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

 

"Guardians of the Galaxy" is still unlike any other film in the MCU six years after its release in 2014.

Brash space adventurer Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) finds himself the quarry of relentless bounty hunters after he steals an orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain. To evade Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with four disparate misfits: gun-toting Rocket Raccoon, treelike-humanoid Groot, enigmatic Gamora, and vengeance-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when he discovers the orb's true power and the cosmic threat it poses, Quill must rally his ragtag group to save the universe.

 

9. DEADPOOL (2019)

Ryan Reynolds was put on this Earth to play Deadpool, the foul-mouthed mutant mercenary. Before "Logan," "Deadpool" proved that a superhero movie could succeed with a hard R rating. And before "Black Panther," it proved that a movie could succeed in February, a month that was once looked at as a dumping ground for the worst movies.

 

Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is a former Special Forces operative who now works as a mercenary. His world comes crashing down when evil scientist Ajax (Ed Skrein) tortures, disfigures and transforms him into Deadpool. The rogue experiment leaves Deadpool with accelerated healing powers and a twisted sense of humor. With help from mutant allies Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Deadpool uses his new skills to hunt down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

 

                            10. AVENGERS 

"The Avengers" was an unprecedented movie at the time, combining four different movie franchises to make one super team-up movie — and it worked shockingly well.

“The Avengers" was the first of four Avengers movies we've gotten over the past seven years, and "Endgame" was easily the most anticipated movie of 2019. The original "Avengers" is something special. It balances the famed heroes we know and love, plus new additions like Hawkeye, has a compelling villain (one who Marvel has returned to again and again), and manages to be funny, crowd-pleasing, and generally optimistic about the future. While gritty reboots and sequels are all the rage right now — even "Avengers" sequels have gotten much darker — "The Avengers" remains a perfect example of how to pack an emotional punch without sending viewers into existential funks.
