Rolling Stones Top 50 Superhero Movies List
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
#1 is obvious bait, but I welcome it for the culture. Spider-Verse at 6 is bullshit. Way too low.
Spider-Man 2 is still too high
Spider-Man 2 is still too high
Also, I'm a fan of the movie and all, but what is Scott Pilgrim doing here? It may be a comic book movie, but it's not a "super-hero" movie.
They're going with a very liberal definition of superhero. lol
Where would you put it on your list of the 50 greatest lists of all time?
Black Panther at #1? I enjoyed the movie a lot and you can't deny its impact when it came out, but that movie has some serious flaws. The Killmonger vs T'Challa fight at the end is terrible. It'd be somewhere from #10-20 for me, but definitely not top 5 much less #1.
Agreed. Talk about artistic direction and set design. Every frame of that movie is awesome, and I loved its depiction of New York. A lot of movies try to achieve a "gritty" look and I think that movie did it effortlessly.
I'll applaud them for including Into the Spiderverse very high up there and letting Megamind, Rocketeer and Unbreakable to be in the list as well, but there's a lot of wacky things here.
- Infinity War not in Top 15
- I can see the argument for Black Panther deserving Top 10, but as #1?
- 1989 Batman gets placed on the backend, lower than LEGO Batman. Crazy.

i feel like they used to put effort into these things
id rate this pretty low on the rolling stones list of rolling stones lists

I've only seen like half of these movies, but V for Vendetta is the only one I would say is good. (And Robocop!) I liked Spider-Man 3 more than 2... At least it made me laugh!
If we're counting The Crow as a superhero movie, that'd be my number 1. That list is all over the place for my personal favorites.
100% I know they put Zack Synders Justice League in the bottom slot to drive those fans to the site to spread their outrage. (I wouldn't even put it on a list of 100 movies).
Is Black Panther an important movie? Yes, yes it is. Is it a good movie? It's okay.
Is it the best superhero movie ever? No, it's not. The whole back half is terrible.
No Dredd? No Sin City? No 300? No Watchmen?
But they have Justice League, Tank Girl, Ghost Rider, and X-Men: Days of Future Past on there…
Bad list is bad. Like, hilariously bad. Dredd not being on there at all, let alone not being in the Top 10, is enough to trigger me.

i approve of top 3
-End game is a bad movie, replace with Infinity war.
-Replace Superman with Ironman
and you have a pretty solid list

Sure, I guess for my part once they announced that it was going to be two parts, it became obvious what was going to happen at the end of the movie and that it wouldn't matter because they were going to undo it in the next movie, undercutting any emotional weight it might've otherwise had.
The end of endgame on the other hand.... probably the most emotional moment of the entire MCU.
I don't think that IW is a bad movie, for the record, its certainly way better than alot of other MCU movies. I just assumed that the fan consensus had Endgame with a slight edge.
To the extent that they're largely stories about people wearing goofy costumes and battling evil they have a somewhat limited ceiling, though the best of the movies has yet to match the best of the comics, partly because it's a relatively much newer genre in the medium.
There's nothing in the movies with anywhere near the philosophical depth and thematic complexity of something like Alan Moore's Swamp Thing (and I think all of his other adaptations suffer in the translation to screen), but it'll get there eventually. And sometimes the goofiness is very enjoyable.
I like Black Panther a lot, but come on. Any movie with a third act as bad as Black Panther's isn't the best superhero movie of all time.
Logan has a similar problem. Great movie for about 80% of the runtime, but the third quarter of the movie is markedly worse than everything before and after it.

Solid list. I'd mainly move Avengers 1 into top ten. Scott Pilgrim higher. Switch Homecoming with No Way Home.
In regards to Black Panther, I think it deserves its spot, but I get the adverse opinions.
For me, is BP is a great movie? Not quite, although this isn't a controversial take for me because I don't think most of the MCU films are great movies. The MCU sits at around a C+ average for me, grading the films. Most of the films aren't that great.
BP is helped, though, by the fact that it was a creative departure for the MCU at the time. And, without it, there are several films on the list that wouldn't have been made. BP signaled to Feige that there was a market for MCU films that branched off from what was the hardened formula at the time.
That's my hot-take, at least. ymmv

Yeah, there's no denying that BP basically blew the fucking doors off inside Marvel in terms of what they were willing to greenlight. That's not to say all of the projects are successful or even good, but BP absolutely opened the path for the MCU to actually start to experiment with its formula and start to really go out of its way to be adventurous with its casting decisions.
