BEST SUPERH<br />
In a world where you can’t turn a<br />
corner without seeing a superhero<br />
movie it seems like a challenge to<br />
make a list of the best of them. But<br />
damn it, I’m going to try! Not only am<br />
I going to try but I’m also going to<br />
surprise. Remember, these are my<br />
opinions. It’s totally OK to disagree<br />
with me. I know how you Marvel/DC<br />
fans like to get all fired up and defensive<br />
if someone disagrees with<br />
you. Up, Up and away!<br />
Darkman (1990)<br />
Darkman is the underrated masterpiece<br />
from director Sam Raimi.<br />
Liam Neeson plays Dr Peyton<br />
Westlake who is injured in a mob<br />
attack on his laboratory leaving him<br />
a scared, broken man. He now feels<br />
no pain and with the technology<br />
he was working on, growing skin<br />
grafts, he is able to make up faces<br />
to wear thus becoming able to hid<br />
in plain sight. He plots his revenge<br />
on the mobsters who attacked him<br />
and ruined his life. This film is simply<br />
wonderful. It has that frantic Sam<br />
Raimi energy and is led by Liam<br />
Neeson going totally bonkers in the<br />
lead roll of Darkman. While it is not<br />
a conventional superhero film, it is<br />
certainly one of the best and most<br />
entertaining films ever made.<br />
Batman (1989)<br />
The 1989 Batman film is just a joy<br />
to watch. Michael Keaton is fantastic<br />
as Bruce Wayne, but everyone<br />
remembers Jack Nicholson’s The<br />
Joker. The film is directed by Tim<br />
Burton, but thankfully lacks the signature<br />
weirdness his films would<br />
eventually become saturated with.<br />
The film stands as a fantastic gothic<br />
fantasy with some great performances<br />
from its exceptionally talented<br />
cast.<br />
Superman<br />
Returns (2006)<br />
I know what you are thinking, and<br />
you’re wrong. Superman Returns<br />
is a great film and is an affectionate<br />
love letter to filmmaking of days<br />
gone by and an amazing tribute to<br />
Christopher Reeve’s Superman.<br />
What makes this movie so great<br />
is that it is fun, beautiful and totally<br />
family friendly. Brandon Routh<br />
makes a great turn as the man of<br />
steel and really captures the hope<br />
and love that Christopher Reeve<br />
had planted in that role years before.<br />
It breaks my heart that Superhero<br />
movies have become bland,<br />
drab, joyless affairs of late. Superman<br />
Returns shows that a superhero<br />
can be full of hope.<br />
Captain America:<br />
The Winter Soldier<br />
(2014)<br />
Captain America: The Winter Soldier<br />
stands as one of the best political<br />
thrillers of our times. What Joe<br />
and Anthony Russo pull off with this<br />
film is just fantastic. They take the
