it's hard to root for a superhero spending his time stalking an engaged chick from the shadows.

So, you didn't like The Dark Knight...

Good list except for the fact that dipshit included one of the best Superhero movis, Dark Knight Rises. DKR is disappointing if you are Helen Keller, maybe. The other nine of those do suck balls though.

Thought Iron Man 2 and even Thor 2 could be included. The Amazing Spiderman definitely sucked. Elektra, Hellboy, Ghost Rider, and Jonah Hex were less heralded but disappointing nonetheless. Also, where's the 2005 Fantastic Four? That one didn't exactly set the world on fire either...

There are a very vocal minority of people who tend to rank The Dark Knight Rises with the Batman & Robins of the world. I respect their opinion because all movies are subjective. I just respectively disagree with them. It was not disappointing at all for me. I found it very entertaining? As good as The Dark Knight? No. On par with Batman Begins? Yes. It surpasses Batman Begins in some areas, too, but only because the budget for Rises was much larger.

3.Man of Steel (WB)
Man of Steel may not be as outwardly terrible as many of the films on this list, but it holds the distinction of being one of the most disappointing.While most fans would say that Snyder captured an aspect of Superman that had never been seen onscreen in his no holds barred physicality, many also felt that the film veered too far in this direction, heaping on wanton destruction (and a generous but unspoken body count)


10.The Dark Knight Rises(WB)-Still a very good film in any other context (Christopher Nolan didn’t suddenly forget how to make a movie), Dark Knight Rises had everything to prove ... and apparently tried to.

Nolan seemed to cast aside the "real world" ethos that guided Batman Begins and the Dark Knight putting Gotham and the plot onto the world stage. He set up Bane as an uncharacteristically outlandish villain, radically shifted the movie’s (and the entire trilogy’s) ‘internal clock’ in the second act, and wrapped the epic up with a saccharine or uplifting ending (depending on your POV) that totally changed Batman's context in Nolan's gritty world.



Reverse these two and any list of worst comic book movies that doesn't have Iron Man 3 and X3 loses all credit.

The list is for "Most disappointing." Not "the worst."
