Matthew's Superhero Movies

Here are my top 5 superhero movies! 

5. Deadpool (2016) - Basically a comedy movie with a superhero origin story plot, Ryan Reynolds kills it (pun intended) as Deadpool, the profane, fourth-wall breaking, invincible hero simultaneously trying to get revenge and get back his girl.
4. The Avengers (2012) - The culmination of several movies focusing on individual heroes to bring them all together for one star-studded adventure, the Avengers lived up to the hype, with the first half of the movie focusing on squabbles between the heroes before finally putting aside their differences for a large scale finale.
3. Captain America: Civil War (2016) - Similar to The Avengers, this film manages to balance multiple seperate superheroes each with their own storyline, while also containing the perfect mix of humour and action. Plus that airport scene is the best action sequence ever!
2. Watchmen (2009) - Set in the 1980s in an alternate universe, a bunch of retired "superheroes" try to prevent their own assassination. Dark, unique, and graphic, this is a standout in the superhero genre, while also featuring arguably the most powerful superhero brought to the big screen in Dr. Manhattan.
1. The Dark Knight (2008) - Despite being a Batman film, it is Heath Ledger's performance as the crazed Joker which steals the show. Regarded as one of the best films of the modern era, superhero or otherwise, it was an easy choice for number 1.

5. Deadpool (2016) – This movie is not for the faint hearted or young or anyone really. This film possesses a very dark humour that you will feel bad for laughing at. I laughed at this movie a lot which is why it has made the top 5.  4. Watchmen (2009) – This film dives into sort of the anti-superhero genre, showing the  underbelly side of being a superhero in a troubled dark decrepit cityscape. I love this film because its plays with an alternate reality by mixing in previous real moments in history, and allows them to help navigate through the plotline.  3. X Men (2000) – What would Hugh Jackman do? Gosh what about those sideburns. What an absolute Australia legend, kicking mutant buts for about 90 minutes in this film.  2. Dark Knight Rises (2012) – Amazing film, brilliant acting from the late Heath Ledger. The intensity and dialogue of the final scenes are so good. “WHERE IS SHEEE”.  1. Daredevil (2003) – Ben Affleck has brought shame to himself an...
