Natasha Alford of The Grio called the film a "movement, a revolution in progress, and a joy to experience all wrapped into one", and called it "a master class in what it means to be proud of who you are".[288] Jamie Broadnax of Black Girl Nerds called the film a masterpiece that is "afro-futuristic and Blackity-black as hell. It's everything I've ever desired in a live-action version of this popular superhero and yet so much more."[289] Bouie said, "it is fair to say that Black Panther is the most political movie ever produced by Marvel Studios, both in its very existence... and in the questions its story raises."[284] Devindra Hardawar at Engadget was critical of the CGI, notably the digital actors used, calling them "weightless, ugly and, worst of all, incredibly distracting". Hardawar felt two "particularly disappointing" CGI shots were when T'Challa flips over a car during the Korea chase, and when T'Challa and Killmonger punch each other as they fall within the vibranium mines.[282]

Synopsis: Kaaapowie! Holy feature film, Batman ... one based on the tongue-in-cheek, campy 1960's television series. Watch Batman (Adam West) and... [More] Starring: Adam West, Burt Ward, Cesar Romero, Lee Meriwether Directed By: Leslie H. Martinson #65 Defendor (2009) 75% #65 Adjusted Score: 71860% Critics Consensus: Defendor's reach occasionally exceeds its grasp, but this unique take on the superhero genre is held together by Woody Harrelson's solid performance.

[More] Starring: Woody Harrelson, Kat Dennings, Sandra Oh, Elias Koteas Directed By: Peter Stebbings #66 Sky High (2005) 73% #66 Adjusted Score: 77408% Critics Consensus: This highly derivative superhero coming-of-age flick is moderately entertaining, family-friendly fluff.

[More] Starring: Alyson Hannigan, Kate Micucci, Danny Pudi, Bobby Moynihan Directed By: Lena Khan #68 Megamind (2010) 72% #68 Adjusted Score: 78266% Critics Consensus: It regurgitates plot points from earlier animated efforts, and isn't quite as funny as it should be, but a top-shelf voice cast and strong visuals help make Megamind a pleasant, if unspectacular, diversion. Synopsis: Though he is the most-brilliant supervillain the world has known, Megamind (Will Ferrell) is the least-successful. Thwarted time and again... [More] Starring: Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill Directed By: Tom McGrath #69 Batman (1989) 73% #69 Adjusted Score: 78769% Critics Consensus: An eerie, haunting spectacle, Batman succeeds as dark entertainment, even if Jack Nicholson's Joker too often overshadows the title character. Synopsis: Having witnessed his parents' brutal murder as a child, millionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) fights crime in Gotham City...

Jackson, Robin Wright Penn, Charlayne Woodard Directed By: M. Night Shyamalan #73 The Toxic Avenger (1984) 70% #73 Adjusted Score: 70761% Critics Consensus: A silly and ribald superhero spoof, Toxic Avenger uninhibited humor hits more than it misses.

[More] Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgard Directed By: Alan Taylor #77 The Rocketeer (1991) 67% #77 Adjusted Score: 70630% Critics Consensus: An action-packed, if anachronistic, look back at pulp matinee serials, The Rocketeer may ring hollow with viewers expecting more than simple fun and gee-whiz special effects. Synopsis: Cliff Secord (Bill Campbell) is a cocky stunt pilot in love with a beautiful actress, Jenny Blake (Jennifer Connelly). When... [More] Starring: Bill Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Timothy Dalton, Alan Arkin Directed By: Joe Johnston #78 Aquaman (2018) 65% #78 Adjusted Score: 85155% Critics Consensus: Aquaman swims with its entertainingly ludicrous tide, offering up CGI superhero spectacle that delivers energetic action with an emphasis on good old-fashioned fun.

Synopsis: In an alternate 1985 America, costumed superheroes are part of everyday life. When one of his former comrades is murdered,... [More] Starring: Billy Crudup, Malin Akerman, Jackie Earle Haley, Matthew Goode Directed By: Zack Snyder #80 Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) 64% #80 Adjusted Score: 82451% Critics Consensus: In some ways, Thor: Love and Thunder feels like Ragnarok redux -- but overall, it offers enough fast-paced fun to make this a worthy addition to the MCU.

Jackson, Tara Strong Directed By: Craig McCracken #83 Hulk (2003) 62% #83 Adjusted Score: 69881% Critics Consensus: While Ang Lee's ambitious film earns marks for style and an attempt at dramatic depth, there's ultimately too much talking and not enough smashing.

Macy, Kel Mitchell Directed By: Kinka Usher #85 Swamp Thing (1982) 60% #85 Adjusted Score: 60645% Critics Consensus: Unabashedly campy -- often to its detriment -- Swamp Thing is not without its charms, among them Adrienne Barbeau as the damsel in distress.
