finally earned a reputation for quality
on the big screen
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 superhero movies of the 2000s number
10 x-men after the failure that was
Batman and Robin many were unsure if the
superhero genre would ever recover
thankfully Bryan Singer introduced
moviegoers to a group of mutants who
changed everything we actually go upside
mises what would you prefer yellow
spandex bringing life to many favorites
from the comic book franchise this film
showed the world that not only could
superhero films be successful they could
also be thoughtful and engaging works of
art
get out of my bar freak bringing in a
respectable cast including Sir Ian
McKellen and Patrick Stewart but first
x-men film is an accomplishment on every
level
man remember when nobody knew who Hugh
Jackman was and we all just called him
that guy who played Wolverine good times
Sabretooth storm what do they call you
wheels number nine Watchmen they call me
dr. Manhattan they explained the name
has been chosen the ominous associations
it will raised in America’s enemies when
it comes to this flick people are still
pretty divided based on the iconic comic
book series by Alan Moore this
adaptation drew its fair share of
criticism set in the Cold War era the
film offers a unique take on the
superhero genre positioning them in an
alternate history where Silver Age
masked superheroes are either retired or
working from the shadows
a dark sometimes brutal look at a world
torn apart and stitched back together
the film is the very embodiment of
gritty who is that while it performed
very well at the box office it was
criticized for its complex narrative as
well as its failure in some people’s
eyes to live up to the source material
nevertheless Watchmen remains a must-see
for superhero fans everywhere
no breaked Hellboy
back in 2004 if you were looking for a
no-holds-barred superhero flick that
wasn’t afraid to poke fun at itself this
was the movie to see after being brought
to Earth by the Nazis and rescued by the
Allies a creature known as Hellboy is
raised to protect the world from
supernatural forces sporting a badass
don’t hand and an oversized revolver
this is one character you don’t want to
mess with the film lives and dies with
its protagonists but thankfully Ron
Perlman was born to play Hellboy I’m not
a very good shot with the Samaritan here
uses really big bullets brought to life
through the mad genius of Guillermo del
Toro Hellboy is the real deal
you killed my father your ass is mine
number seven spider-man spinning webs
through the bustling streets of New York
while apprehending the bad guys never
looked so cool

tee and the slower moments filled with
just the right amount of emotion this

confidence following it’s unbelievable
box-office success the film would become
the gold standard for which all other

and indomitable will to save Gotham City
adding a level of grit and darkness that
had been lacking in previous
incarnations this film took a
no-holds-barred approach with the

heroes unafraid to step into the shadows

trilogy is often seen as the most
