My Top 10 Least Favorite Moments in Super-Hero Movies

My Top 10 Least Favorite Moments in Super-Hero Movies By Barry Dutter

1) Spider-Man using his powers to deliver pizzas in Spider-Man 2.
2) The Thing gets pooped on by a pigeon in the FANTASTIC FOUR movie. In over 40 years in the comics, the Thing has never been pooped on by a pigeon. Hollywood didn’t waste any time.
3) In X-MEN 2, when WOLVERINE sees LADY DEATHSTRIKE unsheathe her claws for the first time, he exclaims, “Oh shit!” The line gets a laugh, but WOLVERINE would NEVER express any kind of fear or hesitation when facing an opponent.
4) DR. OCTOPUS changes his mind at the end of SPIDER-MAN 2 and decides he’s not a bad guy after all. Lame!
5) When Daredevil uses his powers to “see” ELEKTRA in the rain in the DAREDEVIL movie. DD’s eyesight does not work at all, regardless of whether or not it is raining.
6) The scene in the 1997 BATMAN & ROBIN (the one with GEORGE CLOONEY & CHRIS O’DONNELL) where Batman pulls out his Bat-Credit Card and says, “Never leave the cave without it.” This is another example of the of the type of crappy camp humor that helped to put the franchise on ice for the better part of a decade.
7) At the end of SPIDER-MAN 3, Spidey tells the SANDMAN, “I forgive you,” and lets a murderer go free.
8) The scene in SUPERMAN 3 where RICHARD PRYOR skies off the roof of a building and Superman happens to be flying by and catches him. One of the all-time dumbest scenes in an over-all dumb movie.
9) Peter Parker gets possessed by VENOM in SPIDER-MAN 3 – and then goes to a jazz club and does a really evil dance. Because that’s what really bad people do – they dance in jazz clubs. A low point for the Spidey movie franchise.
10) The scene in the BATMAN & ROBIN where the Dynamic Duo click their heels together and make ice skates come out of the bottom of their boots. That was about the gayest scene in any super-hero movie.
