Does anyone have a summary of capeshit worth watching and capeshit worth skipping?
I only want to watch the ones that were good and I'm looking for decent summaries of the ones that are not worth watching. I'm not a Sup Forumsck so I pretty much have no idea.
I've seen all the movies in the first "phase" up to Avengers 1 as well as Iron Man 3.

bump for being a faggot
My opinions are gonna get flamed down but whatever.
Worth Watching :
> Winter Soldier
Typical thriller movie. Kinda like Mission Impossible but with superheroes. The fights are pretty cool.
> Guardians of the Galaxy
Space Adventure movie a la SW but with more humour, if that's your thing. Characters are actually likeable and all around legitimately fun. Probably my favourite movie.
> Deadpool
Got nothing to say about it. It's good. The perfect normie movie that you can watch with a few friends.
> Days of Future Past
Personally didn't like it but people seems to love it for some reason so you might want to check it out.
Not Worth Watching :
> Every MCU movie you haven't seen and that I didn't mention
They're either the typical Marvel movie (play it safe with a few jokes) or just boring. Altough Civil War is fine and should be watched simply if you're invested enough in the universe.
> Every X-Men movie that isn't X1, X2, The Wolverine, First Class and the ones mentioned above.
They're trash.
> The DCEU
:-)
>memepool but no Dr. Strange
disregard

I made a list:

Don't worry, Doctor Strange is also automatically on my list to watch because I'm gay for cumberbatch.
Thanks a ton user
>empty list
god dammit gg
>[1978] Superman
>[1980] Superman II
Both perhaps a little camp by todays standards, but they are still very fun movies
>[1989] Batman
May seem like a step back if you've seen the Nolan trilogy, but it beautifully paints Gotham City as something foreboding and uncanny.
>[1990] Darkman
Directed by Sam Raimi (Spider-Man and Evil Dead trilogies) and contains some very nice cinematography and character development through isolation.
>[1991] The Rocketeer
Very well-rounded movie which should set the standard for capefun.
>[1992] Batman Returns
More of Batman 1989, except it's more politically orientated.
>[2000] X-Men
A little corny in comparison to the later films, but still a good movie.
>[2002] Spider-Man
Great characters and performances, great action. It's just got everything.
>[2003] X2: X-Men United
Took the first X-Men movie and delved deeper into the characters and the struggles that they face.
>[2003] Hulk
Not one that I enjoy, but the great concepts do shine through at points. A little bit too slow and long.
>[2004] Spider-Man 2
I'd argue the greatest superhero movie ever made. Adds so much onto the arc of Peter Parker and has such compelling villains.
>[2005] Batman Begins
Great take on Batman. Of the Dark Knight trilogy, it's the only one with an interesting Batman.
>[2008] Iron Man
Very good movie. Suffers a little near the end, though.
>[2008] The Dark Knight
Phenomenal performance by Heath Ledger with many thrills.
>[2009] Watchmen
Some love it, some hate it. Watch the Director's Cut and see for yourself.
>[2010] Super
Basically Kick-Ass if it were actually clever.
>[2011] X-Men: First Class
Style can be a bit jarring after seeing the previous X-Men movies, but it's a great movie with astoundingly great character development.
>[2012] The Dark Knight Rises
The plane scene.
Cont'd
>[2013] Iron Man 3
Ignore the comic book fanboys who couldn't stand the Mandarin twist. It works in the movie.
>[2013] Man of Steel
An interesting take on Superman as an alien. Suffers a lot in the character arc section, though. Best of the DCEU in my opinion.
>[2013] The Wolverine
The last 10 minutes is a bit of a let-down, but besides that it's a brilliant movie.
>[2014] Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The only Marvel movie to get itself away from the quips and it shows how great their movies can truly be.
>[2014] X-Men: Days of Future Past
All-around brilliant movie.
>[2014] Guardians of the Galaxy
Modern-age capefun.
I haven't seen any of the following, but I've heard only good about them (except for Blade and Blade II, which get mixed reactions).
>[1994] The Crow
>[1998] Blade
>[2002] Blade II
>[2004] Hellboy
>[2008] Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Skip any with "marvel" in the name and just watch Batman vs Superman on repeat all day.
Am I the only one who dislikes new x-men films (first class and dofp)?
first class was fucking great.
dofp was meh.
>I've seen all the movies in the first "phase" up to Avengers 1 as well as Iron Man 3.
Might as well watch the rest of them then, but you can skip Thor 2 and Age of Ultron. Winter Soldier is my personal favorite.

These films are the only capeshit worth your time
Superman 78 (its an actual film and not just Cape Shit)
Superman 2
Batman
Batman returns
(batman the adam west movie if you want some camp)
Spiderman 2
Xmen 2
Iron Man 1
Winter Solider
>inb4 you won't understand sequels without seeing the first one
its a comic book movie
I was so ready to agree until that entire bottom row. Holy shit man, none of those. Sub those out for uncut ver. of Daredevil, Ang Lee's Hulk, Batman Returns and Spider-Man 3, then you got a fuckin list.
>but you can skip Thor 2
But Kat Dennings and the Brohood chemistry between Thor and Loki. Worth watching for the Brohood alone.
The Dark Knight Trilogy
Batman v Superman - Ultimate Edition
Constantine
Hellboy (I and II)
Winter Solider
Guardians of the Galaxy
Captain America Civil War

Almost forgot
Raimi"s Spider-Man Trilogy is essential film viewing
You might be retarded.
I honestly, actually, unironically dont see the hype over Batman 1989. Like i don't see why millions of people jizz everytime it's mentioned.
>capeshit worth watching
Pretty much all of the Marvel flicks are 5/10s at the lowest.
Birdman
The first Sin City
300
The Batman films - even in the original films, things got so bad they were amusingly so
Spiderman 2 (didn't age gracefully but still a staple)
The ORIGINAL animated Superman cartoons made back in the 40s (these guys invented rotoscope)
The Incredibles
Kickass 1&2
Ghostbusters
The Watchmen if you're bored, it didn't exactly translate well off the comics onto the screen
Deadpool
Hellboy 1 & 2
Pacific Rim
Blade 1 & 2
The Rocketeer
Hancock if you don't hate Will Smith
The Crow
Unbreakable
Sky High was actually really fun
Depending on what you refer to as capeshit, you also may branch out into a bit of sci-fi stuff.
The first two Superman films were great.
Constantine was a pretty neat transition from the Hellblazer comics to the screen, actually really fun to watch.
>movies to skip
Oh, man. That depends on what you are looking for. Marvel movies you can skip - Thor, First Avenger, Civil War (just brush up on the spoilers), Hulk 1 - arguably 2 if you don't like dumb action crap - Iron Man 3, arguably Iron Man 2. Ang Lee's Hulk (Hulk 1) had some interesting art direction and cinematography, but the story and action were both pretty lacking.
DC films - the DC films are not for everyone. They are meant only for people who want to go a bit deeper into the connotations of superheroes being real in a world like ours. If you are trying to just watch superheroes be superheroes, don't watch any of them. You can avoid Suicide Squad completely either way, it was a pretty horrible spinoff and pretty much nobody except The Wall, Deadshot, and El Diablo had decent direction.
Don't watch Blade 3.
Don't watch Ghostbusters 2 or the new one.
The X-Men movies did NOT age well at all. X1 and X2 are fun to watch if you have never seen them before, because it gives you a glimpse into how people were experimenting with early cape flicks, but almost every other X-Men film is pretty trashy. First Class isn't perfect but it's good fun. Days of Future Past has some interesting moments but ultimately falls flat. Don't watch the others. Logan looks like it'll be good.
Expanding upon my DON'T WANT list:
Don't watch 300 2 or Sin City 2.
You can skip The Spirit.
Also, I can't believe I forgot this, but if you have not seen The Mask, watch it. It's more based on Tex Avery cartoons but it is about a guy who puts on a mask and does heroic things so I'm not sure if it qualifies as superhero/cape.
Also: Watch the Highlander movies. Start with the original and work from there.
Also kind of capeshit that I found fun to watch, albeit a dumb film overall - the new Speed Racer movie was pretty much a cape flick. It wasn't really removed from the source, but at the end of the day, Speed Racer was always just a mask away from being about a racecar-driving masked detective and his struggles.
