One of the most prominent and successful trends that largely defined filmmaking throughout the 2010s was the massive rise of successful superhero films. While the genre certainly had its fair share of successes in previous decades, the 2010s saw a mass explosion of the genre, with new superhero films constantly being released with the rise of the MCU and the creation of DC's own cinematic universe. While many of the superhero films released during this era are still widely beloved and considered some of the best of their respective genres, such high quality is not shared by every superhero film released in the 2010s.

In the mass fervor and excitement to cash in on one of the hottest trends of the decade, many superhero films simply failed to stick the landing when it came to creating an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Whether it was a disappointment compared to the source material or previous entries in the franchise, lacking in any originality or vision, or was forgettable to the point of boredom, there was no shortage of botched superhero failures during the 2010s.

They are:

  1. Green Lantern (2011)
  2. Fant4stic (2015)
  3. The Amazing Bulk (2012)
  4. Max Steel (2016)
  5. Jonah Hex (2010)
  6. Hellboy (2019)
  7. X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
  8. Justice League (2017)
  9. Suicide Squad (2016)
  10. Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Green Lantern wasn't the best of films, but it still had a number of good scenes in it, so putting it #1 seems a bit much.

Word.

Reynolds did a solid job as Hal, and nobody did a bad acting job imo.

It was the script that had issues, and there were some iffy editing choices that amplified those (assuming there was truth to the rumors about the editing choices).

And the cgi was mid tier at best.

But overall, I actually love the movie. Flaws and all it was fun

Yeah I'm with you. It wasn't a good movie, but I wouldn't quite call it the worst, just kinda bad. Now Fant4stic? That might be the worst movie I've ever seen, period.

I mean if it was a realistic list around 4 (not sure how many were actually released) of the top ten would be fantastic four films.

This is just a list of "superhero films everyone has seen that were kinda mid". I want a list of the films that were so bad I've not heard of them, because they crashed and burned so spectacularly.
