Bad superhero movies...

With the excellent track record of the modern Marvel movies, people tend to forget how many bad superhero/comic adaptation movies and TV series have been produced e.g.:
  1. The Dark Knight Rises
  2. Iron Man 2 & 3 
  3. Fantastic Four (all 3 films)
  4. Batman & Robin
  5. Green Lantern
  6. Ghost Rider 1 & 2
  7. Kick-Ass 2
  8. Blade: Trinity
  9. Catwoman
  10. Supergirl (1984)
  11. Spawn
  12. Judge Dredd
  13. The Crow: City of Angels
  14. Avengers: Age of Ultron
  15. The Incredible Hulk (2008) 
  16. Batman (Tim Burton) 
  17. Batman Returns (Tim Burton) 
  18. Spider-man (Tobey Maguire)
  19. Batman Forever
  20. The Wolverine (2013)
  21.  X-Men The Last Stand
  22.  X-Men Apocalypse
  23. Darkman
  24. The Phantom
  25. Mystery Men
  26. Hellboy
  27. V for Vendetta
  28. Hancock
  29. The Green Hornet
An example of bad film making is this:

In the first Wolverine movie Logan is shot in the head  with an adamantium bullet - effectively erasing his memory...
In all of the X-Men movies Wolverine's past is a mystery to him.
True?

Yet in the movie The Wolverine, Logan survives proximity to an atom bomb explosion in World War 2 and in contemporary times remembers a Japanese soldier he saved in World War 2.
How?
He had his memory wiped in the previous movie...

Superhero sequels eventually start to suck

The 3rd Christian Bale Batman movie really sucked and so did the 3rd Iron Man film.
Yes, it had its moments but after Avengers: Assemble this was a major let-down.
The ending of the film was a twist/adaptation of the Iron Man 2 finale. Why?

The main problem with the film lie with the excessive use of special effects during the finale. 

As with Man of Steel the action was bewildering and ultimately quite boring; you we're dulled by the relentless chasing and shooting. 
I dozed off.

As with Blade 3, Iron Man felt to have taken a step back and the suit itself (or multiple suits) became the star.

The unexplained cryptic ending was hurried and confusing; perhaps intended to snag my interest for Iron Man 4? 

Well, it failled
