Superheroes on Screen

image from here
I'm a sucker for superheroes.  The costumes, abilities, action . . . I love it all.  Below are links to my reviews of every film or animated feature I've covered in the genre to date.  If no link exists in a title, it means I plan to review that film in the months to come.

Marvel (before the Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Most of these titles "don't count" as canon, because of the creation in 2008 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Spider-man 
Spider-man 2
Spider-man 3

 The Amazing Spider-man (I reviewed this twice for some reason- here is the second review)
The Amazing Spider-man 2
Daredevil
Elektra
Fantastic 4
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Hulk
Punisher
Punisher: War Zone

Marvel (the X-men tales)

Fox (not Marvel) has the rights to make X-men movies, which is why our favorite mutants weren't incorporated into the MCU.  There are some good titles here, to be sure . . . and some bad ones.

X-men
X2: X-men United
X-men 3: The Last Stand

X-men: First Class
X-men: Days of Future Past (Rogue Cut review)
X-men: Apocalypse
X-men: Dark Phoenix

 X-men Origins: Wolverine
The Wolverine
Logan

Deadpool

Not nearly as organized as their Marvel counterparts, some DC movies nevertheless rank among my favorites of all time. See my separate Batman page for more information.

Green Lantern
Watchmen

It's not just Marvel and DC . . . there are other superhero films (though admittedly, not many):
