Top 8 Worst Superhero Movies

Some critics (and fans) say that superhero movies like Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2 or Daredevil with Ben Affleck are the absolute worst. Well, maybe they aren’t the best, but when it comes to total trash, there’s a lot of distance between them and, let’s say, Howard the Duck or Fant4stic reboot.

According to the ratings of critics on Rotten Tomatoes and regular users, the list of top 8 worst superhero movies looks like this:

1. Howard the Duck (1986) – RT score: 15%

When a talking duck from a different dimension becomes a superhero, even having George Lucas as an executive producer, will not be enough to make that movie work. “Howard the Duck” has successfully proven to be one of the most ridiculous comic book movies in Hollywood history.

2. “Superman 4: The Quest for Peace” (1987) – RT score: 12%

Can any of you, dear readers, tell me what Superman 4 was about? I’m sure you have no idea. A slurred plot, tons of lore inconsistencies, and almost immeasurable box-office results that didn’t even cover the cost of filming – what’s super about that?

3. “Steel” (1997) – RT score: 12%

Back in the 90s’, the Death of Superman was a hugely influential arc. Superman died, and a few new Supes-wannabees came to claim his place. One of them was John Henry Irons, who later became this hammer-wielding Steel character. This whose storyline gave Kenneth Johnson, the “king” of television films, the idea to make a movie not even about Superman himself, but about this Steel dude. He was played by Shaq himself, which to this day is the most memorable thing about the movie.
