Superheroes and cmics go hand in hand for several reasons; Perhaps the most obvious is that, thanks to the relatively low production costs, the imagination of the creators of this type of material finds few limitations. When Superman lifted that car over his head on the iconic cover of Action Comics No. 1 In 1938, the cost was nothing compared to what a film or television studio would have had to pay to make a live action version. However, the cinematographic technology has approached the level of the imaginations of the pioneers of the CMICS and that has given fans the opportunity to see many of their superpowerful pains jump from paper to the big screen. Below we tell you about the best superhero movies that this cinematic evolution has created so far.
Superheroes do not excite you? We also have lists with the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu and the best movies on Amazon Prime.
Even if X Men I started in 2000 the cinematographic franchise of Marvel's marginalized mutant heroes group, it wasn't until the 2003 sequel X2: X-Men United that the talented students of Charles Xavier began to feel like their drawn versions. While in the first film it seems somewhat moderate, in X2 we finally see the brutality that Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is capable of when he shatters the team of a covert operation that invades Xavier's school. Opening with an unimpeably filmed assassination attempt at the White House, courtesy of a Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) whose mind was being remotely controlled, X2 It is one of the first examples of how incredible super powers can be in the cinema with the help of digital effects. It also highlights how socially relevant and emotional the creations of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby can be, especially in a brightly resolved scene in which Bobby Drake (Shawn Ashmore) confesses to his family that he is mutant, and the dialogue develops as if I was leaving the clset.
The Batman Tim Burton is not perfect, but there are some fans who still refer to Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson as the real Batman and Joker, despite decades of lively and lively action material about the Dark Knight. At that time, Keaton's choice in the star was unexpected, as he was best known for comic papers such as Mr. Mom and Beetlejuice, although it turned out to be the perfect choice for the merger devised by Burton of the dark Batman of the cmics and that of the crazy television program sixties. Currently, the Nicholson Joker is poorly placed against more dramatic interpretations, but these comparisons do not take into account that his interpretation was supposed to be exaggerated. It is a role for which Nicholson seems to have been born; That Joker enjoys his evil so much that it almost bothers you that Batman defeats him in the end.
For a whole generation, Christopher Reeve's interpretation of the Man of Steel defined Superman. At no time do you doubt his firm determination, his humility, his love for the very sensible reporter Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and the exhaustive care with which he exercises his power of God. Gene Hackman to date is one of the most malfiably perfect actors for the role of Lex Luthor, the super-genius archenemy of Superman, and Kidder perfectly dominates the role of the award-winning journalist who didn't step back until he got the news, but that you still battle with your spelling. With an iconic score by John Williams and an impeccable cast, the Superman of 1978 established the bases of all the best films of superheroes that will come the following decades.
With Thor: Ragnarok, director Taika Waititi took one of Marvel's most weakened flint franchises and made it one of the most successful. Ragnaroktakes Thor (Chris Hemsworth) from his mythological comfort zone and takes him to Sakaar, a more science fiction environment in which the hilarious Grand Master (Jeff Goldblum) organizes a deadly gladiatorial tournament. Although the Marvel Studios movies were already famous for not taking themselves too seriously, Waititi prints this film his own style of humor and improvisation and demonstrates how funny Hemsworth can be, especially by joining him with Mark Ruffalo in the roles of monosilbic Hulk and the parlanchn and neurtico Bruce Banner. Yes Ragnarok It has some weakness, is that sometimes it sacrifices the characterization of humor, although you are usually laughing so much that you do not realize (or do not care).
Perhaps the most important part of the Spider-Man popularity formula is that it has no mansin or secret fortress in the Arctic. He is a little antisocial nerd who, when he finally leaves his house, cannot pay his bills. Director Sam Raimi introduced us to this most earthly superhero in 2002 in Spider-man, and his powerful humanity is as attractive as when Stan Lee and Steve Ditko released the character in issue 15 of Amazing fantasy. Although the Peter Parker who plays Tobey Maguire does not have the arsenal of occurrences of the cmic version, the film conveys the humor of the arcnido. The purists may regret the absence of mechanical launchers, because here the cobwebs are part of the hero's powers, but even so the spirit of the original material is fully perceived.
There is a reason why Joe and Anthony Russo took over the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Joss Whedon, and that reason is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, from 2014. In a stark contrast to Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), the proposal by Joe and Anthony Russo plunges Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) into a conspiracy of decades related to an organization of Nazi origin called Hydra and SHIELD, the new home of the Captain. The Winter Soldier is a thriller of suspense, action and espionage, with some of the most impeccable action sequences that you will find in a superhero film, particularly that of the famous scene in which the Captain faces about 10 Hydra agents in a glass elevator.
Wonder woman, a proposal that stands out among many disappointments produced for the Extended Universe of Warner's DC, finally, triumphantly, gives Princess Diana of Themyscira (Gal Gadot) the opportunity to shine on the big screen. Gadot perfectly personifies the identity of Wonder Woman as a determined warrior and as a woman who sincerely cares about the world beyond her home island. Director Patty Jenkins mixes the very different Greco-Roman mythology of Wonder woman with the war scene of Europe in 1918. With humor and incredible action sequences, Wonder woman take what some considered to be one of the DC Comics franchises more difficult to adapt and make it one of the best.
