it takes a special breed of actor to
successfully bring these characters from
the comics to the silver screen welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our top 10 favorite
superhero movie portrayals number 10
Jackie Earle Haley Rorschach kicking off
our list is the antihero from The
Watchmen series thankfully Haley brings
this grizzled loner to life as a
troubled vigilante of Justice and wears
the hero’s badge like a champ as the
resourceful character with no real
superpowers don’t let a small stature
fool you do you seem to understand not
locked in here with you you’re locked in
here with me number 9 Mickey Rourke
Marv sure Marv isn’t a true superhero
per se but we wouldn’t say that to his
face few actors could pull off playing
the 7-foot tall beast with a buzz cut
but Rourke seems born for the role are
we the only ones who think Mickey could
easily plunge through a plate-glass
window like a total boss
the best you could do you pants is
number eight Chris Hemsworth
Thor okay admit it you never really
thought Thor was cool does it even count
as a real superhero if you rip your
character off from Norse legend many of
you are probably just as surprised as we
were when newcomer Hemsworth not only
turned out to be a perfect fit for the
role but also ended up doing the
unthinkable
he made Thor cool so is this how you
normally more or less it’s a good luck
number seven Ron Perlman Hellboy Perlman
is one actor who is at his best wearing
a mask and that makes him a perfect
choice to portray this conflicted
superhero not only does he captivate us
by giving the creature a strong sense of
humanity but he also sells Hellboy as an
extreme badass and a sensitive softie Oh
number six Tobey Maguire Peter Parker
spider-man
let’s begin by pretending with
spider-man 3 and emo Peter Parker never
happened
that aside playing Peter Parker is a bit
of a paradox and admittedly a very tough
job you have to be convincingly weak and
nerdy and an ass-kicking crime fighter
all at the same time given the
circumstances McGuire is as convincing
as anyone could have been
[Music]
always be spider-man number five Patrick
Stewart Charles Xavier Professor X bald
head check
British accent check elegance grace
gravitas and ability to command a team
check god Patrick Stewart is so freakin
cool like most of the characters in
x-men this is a case of excellent
casting plain and simple we’re here to
stay mr. president the next move is
yours
number four Robert Downey jr. Tony Stark
Iron Man Iron Man worked for two reasons
one everyone who saw it couldn’t help
but think how sweet it would be to have
one of those suits and two Robert Downey
jr. plays a really good douchebag that’s
it folks case closed
listen I listened to you blow some up
already did that number three Hugh
Jackman Logan Wolverine when the
relatively unknown Hugh Jackman was
picked to play Wolverine in 2000 a lot
of people were not happy he’s not big
enough he’s not tough enough but as it
turns out Jackman owns the role and
gives us a brash yet vulnerable version
of the immortal mutant that few could
have expected
we also dig as crazy rage seen during
the mansion assault in x2 so badass
let’s go number two Michael Keaton Bruce
wayne/batman there are definitely two
schools of thought on this one and we’re
definitely going to catch them grief
from Christian Bale fans who favor his
throaty version of the Caped Crusader oh
but we’ve decided there’s only one
Batman I’m Batman Michael Keaton’s
understated and riveting interpretation
of the character has survived the test
of time
Keaton brings a perfect portrayal of the
troubled isolated complex and mysterious
hero that strikes fear into the hearts
of criminals okay okay we swear we like
bail to be number one Christopher Reeve
Clark Kent Superman rounding out our
list is the greatest and a long line of
actors to play the Man of Steel right
[Music]
who are you a friend
five reef captures the essence of this
hero’s dual identities and highlights
his humor heart and unshakable moral
code we also like Brandon Ralph’s more
recent portrayal but mostly because it
reminds us of Chris Reeve in his ability
to embody the American spirit and its
eternal optimism besides he gets points
for comfortably wearing his undies on
the outside do you agree or disagree
with our choices

us in the comments section
