7 GODDAMN AWFUL SUPERHER MOVIES OF ALL TIME…

Everyone loves a great superhero movie. And Hollywood has been churning out a steady stream of superhero movies over the last decade. The reason is clear: These films perform extraordinarily well at the box office, grossing millions of dollars domestically and billions abroad.

The superhero movies created in the last decade have generally been commercially successful. For example, seven of the 25 highest-earning films of all time – ranked by worldwide gross – are superhero movies, and every one of them was produced in the last seven years. These films generally have extraordinary budgets, access to technology that was not available in the past, and appeal to markets across the world.

By contrast, of the 30 worst superhero films, just four debuted then, while 12 of them hail from the 1990s and five from the 1980s.

Not every movie featuring spandex-clad heroes and comic book villains results in box office gold, however.

And, so…
