Just 5?

BvS-Thought provoking, layered, beautiful, all around fantastic film.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2-Fun, zippy, well acted, great action, one of the only genuinely good love stories in the whole genre
The Wolverine-Low key, character driven, well made, great action, and somewhat daring for the kind of film it is.
Iron Man 3-Brilliant script. One of the smartest and most layered scripts in the MCU
Man of Steel-Mythic, exciting and totally emotional.
Hulk-Did the whole "these films can be deep and meaningful" thing before Nolan got all the credit.


The a lesser extent: TMNT 2014, Watchmen, The First Avenger.

I think The Wolverine is an incredibly under rated CBM, especially the R rated version. The 3rd act is so much better with the ninja fight put back in, and it's just a great character study of the character himself for me.

You were just watching it on TV weren't you? Film 4?

Agreed. It is technically Unrated rather than R Rated, but yeah, I think it is easily the superior cut.

More underrated CBMs from me:
Fantastic Four (2005)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Fantastic Four (2015)

I like all 3 of the F4 films, but my favorite is by far the newest one, which I think was very unfairly maligned, and had a really great cast and design.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Superman Returns, a thousand times over. It's one of the best movies the genre has ever produced.

 

[Marvel Knight]

Superman Returns.


Was a well-directed film, much better than many recent offerings.

It deserved it's good critical score.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Agree with both, still love SR to this day.

I agree, absolutely.

I think the new one was just not what audiences wanted in a post-Avengers era. It was more like a sober sci-fi thriller than a traditional superhero movie. It was more like Cronenberg's The Fly than Avengers.

Have you seen the Liam Neeson thriller The Grey? It's very, very similar to The Wolverine in terms of theme and character arc. There are even scenes of the suicidal hero hallucinating his dead lover.

 

[Flint Marko]

I agree, absolutely.

You'd maybe have a point if the movie didn't collapse in on itself halfway through. I think audiences could have embraced the movie had it been competently pieced together.

 

[First Avenger]

Superman Returns.


Was a well-directed film, much better than many recent offerings.

It deserved it's good critical score.

It's a much better movie than the recent ones featuring Superman.

 

[Vchipp]

Daredevil Director's Cut
The Incredible Hulk
Captain America: The First Avenger.

 

[Squaremaster316]

Batman Begins. Despite its admittedly high acclaim, it should be consistently mentioned in the same breath as the original LOTR trilogy in term of impact on the film industry.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

The original Ninja Turtles movie from 1990. Way better than it had any right to be, or even needed to be.
