Suicide Squad

Does any type of movie attract more hate than the bad superhero movie?

There are certainly enough bad movies out there. There have been bad action movies, bad romance movies and a whole glut of bad fantasy movies.

But bad superhero movies tend to stand out and be remembered.

Ask anybody to name a bad fantasy movie and they'll probably list a few so-bad-it's-good movies. But when asked to name bad superhero movies? There's a whole frigging list of unsalvageable atrocities.

I think the problem comes from the fact that they're attempting to take something that's already beloved by millions and transform it into money via moviedom, but without taking any time to understand why it's beloved.Take today's movie, as an example.

Finally one of my favourite DC characters is on film and boy, was it disappointing.

I honestly don't know what this movie was supposed to accomplish. Most of these guys are recurring villains from DC superheroes who haven't even gotten their own movies yet.

But it does have Will Smith, so I was willing to give it a chance.

I should not have done so.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

In all of the aeons of human history, few superhero movies are looked down upon as much as today's. Especially by my co-star.

For good reason.

Indeed. People disliked Batman Forever. People scoffed at Green Lantern. People despised Batman Vs Superman. Spider-Man 3, X-3: The Last Stand, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, all of these caused their series to be rebooted.

But of all the bad superhero movies, this one stands out as being the very worst.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Either that, or this is a Hugh Jackman workout video.

This movie went wrong at just about every step it could go wrong at.
