His most challenging villains are basically goons, the most memorable being a cross-dressing coin thief.
Stan Lee reportedly hated this bastardisation of his creation…nuff said.
Dr Strange(1978)None of us is ever alone.
So the concept of a TV series about his exploits seemed an appealing way to increase his profile.
John Holmes lookalike Peter Hooten, whom you wont remember from the originalInglorious Bastards, is Dr Strange.
His Merlin-lite mentor and co-star is Sir John Mills, whom you will remember as British acting royalty.
Morgan La Fay, a sexy-yet-evil sorceress (arent they all?)
Captain America(1990)You remain a clownish symbol that no one cares about.
Full of plot holes, idiotic dialogue, poorly staged violence, an Italian (?)
Release was delayed until 1991 due to poor test-screenings and re-shoots.
At the time the ever positive Stan Lee claimed they re-shot becauseeveryone kept clamouring for more.
The Fantastic Four(1994)Flame off!
Despite the tiny production, unknown director and no-name stars it was soon ready for a nationwide release.
Batman & Robin(1997)My rubber lips are immune to your charms.
Interestingly, Goldsman went on to adaptThe Da Vinci Code, proving that some people never learn.
1997 was a bad year for DC.
The characters are played for laughs and brought to life as mid-20s, sub-dimensional, slacker goons.
Good luck,Smallville.
Catwoman(2004)Sorry is not nearly enough.
Arguably the most derided of all superhero adaptations, its faults are many.
Her performance is so bad, that on release, one critic suggested she relinquish her Oscar as punishment.
With little else to offer, the film is heavily reliant on special effects.
They come in two flavours, at best eye-strainingly awful, at worst a poorly animated shitstorm.
Take one poor, yet not irredeemable, superhero franchise in the shape ofDaredevil.
What further money making opportunities (aside from an obvious sequel) could be shaken from its corpse?
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, as it turns out, quite a lot.
Quite an achievement for a film about a hot lady ninja and her crazy assassin friends.
Crazy gang of assassins, check.
Great back story, check.
Unfortunately, you’re free to also add: wafer thin plot which patronises its audience, check.
Leaden dialogue, check.
Poorly drawn characterisations, check.
Terrance Stamp hamming more than a hog-roast, check.
Infrequent and incoherent action, double check.
Spiderman 3(2007)Never wound what you cant kill.
There is contention as to whether this movie deserves to be on the list.
Ghost Rider(2007)Sorry, all out of mercy.
Mark Steven Johnson should have quit whilst he was ahead.
The human element is not the only problem.
Ghost Riderwas once thought to be un-filmable, but after sitting through this, youll wish it had been.
