People are obsessed with superheroes because deep down we all wish we were superheroes as well. It’s a childhood fantasy that never really escapes us thus we love watching films about our dreams of being powerful on screen. There have been a lot of great superhero movies, but these ten are the best.
10. Unbreakable
It’s different, not your typical superhero trying to save the world but at the same time people are still totally engrossed with it.
9. Hulk
A big green man, Everyone wants to see what the heck happens there.
8. Spiderman
All three films have had some astonishing special effects and great action scenes so there’s something for everyone, but the first film was particularly great on story.
7. Batman
The masked man returns in several instalments and the variety of interesting villains makes this a must see franchise, but the first original film was what Batman was all about.
6. The Incredibles
A great family film but also full of action and superheroes. This movie instils core values and puts bad guys away.
5. X-Men 2
With so many superheroes to choose from, and all their special capabilities, everyone can have their own favourite. Oh, and the story is pretty cool too.
4. Batman Begins
This was a fun look at the other side of Batman. Great acting.
3. Spider-Man 2
Spidey returns and this time he’s better then ever. Determined to make his feelings known to Mary Jane, one thing after another gets in his way.
2. The Dark Knight
Health Ledger makes this film, there’s no other way of looking at it. His portrayal of the Joker is one of the most haunting film performances of all time.
1. Superman: The Movie
Dean Cain was good as Superman on television but the original was much better. There was something about seeing Superman in the traditional uniform that instils a sense of security, like things are finally right again in a world gone amiss.
