Worst Comic Book Movies of the Decade (2010-2019)

[Spider-Aziz]

Let's just throw a list of all the movies that bring in more complaints than compliments of this decade, and list your least favorite of the bunch. Choose your least favorite/most hated ones of these.


Here's a list of poorly received comic book movies of the decade, hoping I haven't missed one:

Jonah Hex

The Losers

The Green Hornet
Two Greens in 2011 and both are poorly received

Green Lantern

Aquabro the Barbarian

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Where are the Eggs?

Ass-Kicked 2

Thor: The Dark World
Yes sirreee, it was divisive enough to earn a spot

Man of Steel

Rogue, Insidious, Pathetic, Dull

Red 2
(How many bad sequels are there?)

Oldboy
(This one is special, cause it's a remake of an adaption of a comic book movie, and it's possible that Spike Lee had no idea this was based on a comic)

April O'Neil and her pet turtles (2014)

I, Frankenstein

Late for Dinner

What? Another bad movie?

Fant4stic

Attack on Titan
Lucky for Fant4stic, another bad movie from that year

Batman V Superman

Suicide Squad

TMNT (Out of the Shadows)

X-Men: Leeeaarniiiiiiiing

Justice League

Japanese people like/don't mind the casting choice

Kingsman: The Inner Circle

Death Note

Fullmetal Alchemist

BLECH
Some might suggest that this movie doesn't deserve to be here, but the source material is bad, reception of this movie is not encouraging

AQUAMAN
(Hammer! suggested it)

Hungry Black Snot that wants Eddie Brock to Apologize
(I almost forgot this gem)

Hellboy (2019)

Dark Phoenix
(not even interested to call itself X-Men)

The Kitchen


There might still be more movies that left audience disappointed and I am yet to include
CONGRATULATIONS. We now have more than thirty movies in this list​

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm not counting the MiB movies from this decade here cause they are pretty much their own thing, and are far more removed from being comic based than even TMNT: Out of the Shadows.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I liked The Dark World and Man of Steel.

Kingsman 2 deserved a mention here. And personally, I really disliked Amazing Spider-Man 1 as well.

The worst of the worst was Fant4stic. I haven't seen such a lazy, no effort piece of garbage since Dragonball Evolution. BvS may have been trash too, but at least Snyder tried. With Fant4stic, they just didn't care and it shows. It was an insult to the artform.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I liked The Dark World and Man of Steel.

I liked Man of Steel too, and a bunch more here.
The question is which are your least favorite/most hated.

For me I go with

1. Batman vs Superman
2. I, Frankenstein
3. Hellboy

These I've watched and hate with passion.

And personally, I really disliked Amazing Spider-Man 1 as well.

This movie gets more negative than positive thoughts all over the internet despite the more positive looking tomatoemeter and audience score on that site, so I included it.

 

[Hammer!]

Thor 2 and Man of Steel being on this list is silly. Man of Steel was mediocre, but nowhere near as abysmal as the rest. Thor 2 had a mixed-positive reception, not a poor reception. This inclusion screams of "well I have to throw in an MCU movie, so I'll pick the weakest received one even if it got good reviews." If we're including these two films why not also throw in similarly received films like Aquaman, Joker, The Wolverine, Watchmen, etc.

Top Ten Worst of the films I have seen:

1. Fantastic 4
2. Jonah Hex
3. Suicide Squad
4. Batman V. Superman
5. Apocalypse
6. Amazing Spider-Man 2
7. Venom
8. Justice League
9. Green Lantern
10. Dark Phoenix

Watchmen is from 2009, I didn't include it for that. I did include two of the rest as per requested, and the second Kingsman movie as Kahran suggested.

Oh sorry, I missed it. I thought you just had the second one on there. My mistake.

 

[Enriquespy]

The worst? I don't know.

But definitely, the most forgettable one was I Frankenstein.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Oh sorry, I missed it. I thought you just had the second one on there. My mistake.

Don't worry about it, I edited the opening post to include it after evaluating its situation.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Don't worry about it, I edited the opening post to include it after evaluating its situation.

Oh okay. So it wasn't there initially. I thought for a moment I just missed it. Yes, I absolutely think it should be there.

 

[kguillou]

Lmao what is Aquaman doing on this list? Its rated fresh and made over a billion $$. Most people liked it.

Anyway, the worst one is easily Fant4stic. What a complete utter failure of a movie on every level. At least Jonah Hex has camp factor going for it, Fant4stic is literally an unfinished film that was shat into theaters.

 

[Hammer!]

FWIW I did not "suggest" Aquaman lol. 6/10 is my cutoff, similar to rotten tomatoes, so I don't have it as a bad film at all. It's a decent, slightly above average, but not really noteworthy or memorable film that I feel strongly about one way or the other like Thor 2, The Wolverine, and Man of Steel.

I don't hate any of these films listed. I sure don't like a lot of them, I think many are absolute dumpster fires like Suicide Squad or abortions like Fantastic Four, but those aren't qualifiers for hate.


Dark Knight Rises is probably the only CBM I would definitely say I hate, and Spider-man 2 and Days of Future Past are the only two that come close to me throwing that word out.

 

[Fosterson]

Thor 2 and Man of Steel being on this list is silly. Man of Steel was mediocre, but nowhere near as abysmal as the rest. Thor 2 had a mixed-positive reception, not a poor reception. This inclusion screams of "well I have to throw in an MCU movie, so I'll pick the weakest received one even if it got good reviews."

Agreed. I'm not a fan of either of those movies, but at least they're watchable, unlike most of the other films here.

 

[Flint Marko]

It’s gotta be FFINO, though SS and BvS deserve a mention for how much was riding on them and how hard they dropped the ball.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Telekinetic, and looks like the cyborg lady from Superman III

What's not to like?

 

[Filmfreak]

I think it would go something like this for me:

01. Jonah Hex
02. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
03. Suicide Squad
04. Fant4stic
05. Justice League
06. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
07. Green Lantern
08. Iron Man 3
09. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
10. X-Men: Apocalypse

Thankfully there are a few of these I have neither seen nor planning to, and others I just don't find that bad. I feel each studio produced a different level of successes and stinkers, therefore I would probably add Iron Man 3 in my personal worst list.

 

[The Joker]

Trank's F4
Both TASM movies
Venom
BvS
Suicide Squad
Justice League
Green Lantern

They are the bottom of the trash pile for me.

 

[Hammer!]

Why am i the only one that regards the Lizard from Amazing 1 to be awful? His big villain plan was to turn everyone in NYC into a lizard.

Not the world, just New York, and the effects of the serum lasted one night on him so his big plan was to turn the city of NY into lizard men for one night. Why did Captain Stacy die for this? Should of just let him get his way and arrest his ass in the morning. Being a lizard man for one night might be fun!

 

[Schlosser85]

Venom, Green Lantern, BvS, F4, TASM2

You're not the only one. Also, his look was terrible. He's up there with Apocalypse in that regard.

 

[Erzengel]

I'll go with more of the mainstream CBM.

1. Jonah Hex
2. Green Lantern
3. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
4. Fant4stic
5. Batman v. Superman
6. Green Hornet
7. Suicide Squad
8. X-Men: Apocalypse
9. Venom
10. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

 

[Luigi]

Totally forgot about I, Frankenstein.

1. Suicide Squad
2. F4
3. Justice League
4. Green Lantern
5. TASM 2

 

[Spider-Aziz]

6. Green Hornet

Good, it counts

 

[Marvel united]

Fantastic Four (2015) is the worst. Followed by Hellboy

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Plenty of mention for Suicide Squad, I should remember to mention one of its best scenes a week from now. Here's a bonus scene for now:

Amanda Waller shoots the FBI agents in the office she's in working directly under her because none of them is authorized to be there, and she does that once Rick Flagg and the absolutely unauthorized Deadshot enter that room.

So many agents with zero reaction to a supervisor holding a pistol shooting everyone in the room, I mean with only the reaction of accepting the gift of a fatal bullet per person. And you consider this as one of the worst movies.

@StarLord Feel free to share your own list.
