number 10 black mask
an invincible gently on a mission to rid
the city of a group of ex commandos on a
killing spree yes please
such was the plot of this 90s
action-adventure play after special
surgery renders him unable to feel pain
speech ich or Simon in the US version
Don’s a black mask and sets out to
cleanse his town of evildoers
just filled with exactly the same kind
of intense action and brilliant fight
sequences that Jet Li has made a career
out of this was a superhero movie for
the martial-arts twist or maybe a
martial arts movie with a Supergirl
twist either way it’s pretty sweet
number nine Mystery Men Oh KQ open you
so full you might just as well shovel it
in this superhero spoof was a no short
supply of quirky one-liners and
outlandish set pieces when Captain
amazing the a-list protector of the
fictitious champion city is kidnapped
three underappreciated superheroes with
mediocre powers put together a team of
misfits in an attempt to rescue him
everybody heard me say recently right
I’m gold oh my god we killed what do you
mean we I’m putting many of the tropes
made famous by other comic book
adaptations this film pushes humor to
the forefront never trying to be
anything more than hilarious look at a
group of average Joe heroes but
superpowers such as getting angry and
throwing cutlery on display this film
had a little trouble attracting a wide
audience but it’s still a fun cult
classic we will live in glass houses
strange because this is what happens the
breaks The Rocketeer
owning the skies in a badass leather
jacket has never looked so good
when stunt pilot cliffs accord stumbles
upon a jet pack that enables him to fly
he must deal with gangsters Nazi agents
and the indomitable Howard Hughes all of
whom desperately want that jet pack as
an object
we’ve got the code the rocket will come
to us this period piece has a true comic
book feel mixing in moments of intense
action with just the right amount of sly
charm while the film didn’t wow
audiences during its initial release it
remains an exciting adventure film that
never takes itself too seriously hi I
like it
number 7 the mask
okay was there ever any doubt as to who
could properly bring this character to
life after discovering a mask that
transforms him into a maniacal trickster
with the ability to manipulate both
himself and his surroundings Kim at bank
clerk stanley ipkiss wreaks havoc on a
local gangster while writing a few rungs
along the way perfectly embodied by the
unique talent of Jim Carrey the mask is
one smokin superhero
noted for its excellent use of animation
this summer blockbuster made it clear
that even lesser-known comic-book heroes
could be bankable properties shot for a
mere twenty three million dollars this
flick would become the fourth
highest-grossing film of the year number
six Batman mask of the phantasm your
sins mr. Bruns
based on the phenomenal Batman the
Animated Series television show this
film took all the best aspect of the
Dark Knight’s animated adventures and
flew them up on the big screen when
Gotham’s crime bosses begin to turn up
dead the city points its fingers at the
Dark Knight working to clear his name
Batman must deal with the shadowy killer
while juggling an old flame who has
recently re-entered his life a neo-noir
mystery straight out of a Raymond
Chandler novel this lick earned praise
from critics with many calling it the
best animated film of the year noted for
its excellent voice work and fantastic
action sequences this superhero film did
not disappoint
animated or not Joker number 5 the crow
came real after a gang of thugs murders
eric draven and his fiance he rises from
the dead with supernatural powers and a
singular goal revenge a dark and twisty
tale of bloody vengeance this film was
praised for its visual style and strong
acting performances especially from the
late lead actor suddenly I heard a
tapping as of someone gently rapping
rapping at my chamber door while the
movie has since garnered a resilient
cult following it will forever be
remembered for the one death that wasn’t
in the script when a prop gun
accidentally shot and killed lead actor
Brandon Lee the crow went from a gritty
action flick to one of the most infamous
films of all time
number four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
the movie
yeah
who would have thought that the secret
formula for grossing 200 million dollars
was pizza crime-fighting reptiles and a
docking wrapped yet in the spring of
1990 it was then Ninja Turtles who ruled
the box office together with their rat
sensei splinter the turtles must team up
with a young reporter in order to stop
the evil Foot Clan and their leader the
shredder from taking over New York City
armed with an abundance of youthful
flair wicked fighting moves and a love
of all things pizza these unconventional
heroes took the world by storm while the
film wasn’t exactly winning any Oscars
it has since become a lovely piece of
nostalgia for those looking to be
transported to a simpler time before
Iron Man and Batman ruled the silver
screen where the heck is 122 and 1/8
you’re standing on it dude
number 3 blade
all those people pushing to get tickets
to the next Avengers movie have another
Marvel character to thank blade being
only the second Marvel property to
receive a wide release in the United
States blade was the first to achieve
both critical and financial success in
the film Blade is a half man half
vampire who must defend the world from a
group of evil vampires who wage war on
humanity when you use me as bait get
over
featuring Wesley Snipes in the role that
would make him a household name this
film has no shortage of badass action
sequences number two the mask of Zoro
a swashbuckling vigilante with charm to
spare characters like Zorro or why
people go to the movies including the
Wayne family this franchise reboot set
in 19th century California season aging
Zorro played by Anthony Hopkins passed
the torch on to a young thief played by
Antonio Banderas I asked my friend you
would have fought very bravely and died
very quickly then would avenge your
brother it would have fun that way
build with exactly the kind of action
and intrigue made famous by the
character in previous incarnations this
film ups the ante by combining
impressive stunt work with an array of
beautiful set pieces
staying in popcorn flick territory
definitely served the film well as the
market would soon be saturated with an
influx of gritty origin stories before

honorable mentions

for sale all of it all we gotta do is

of the law number one that man returns
after the success of 1989’s Batman it
was only a matter of time before the
Dark Knight returned to protect Gotham
once more this time around Batman must
do battle with all manner of criminals
as the penguin teams up with corrupt
businessman Max Schreck in a plot to
take over the city as usual
I believe he’s on extended vacations
