One of the most prominent and successful trends that largely defined filmmaking throughout the 2010s was the massive rise of successful superhero films. While the genre certainly had its fair share of successes in previous decades, the 2010s saw a mass explosion of the genre, with new superhero films constantly being released with the rise of the MCU and the creation of DC's own cinematic universe. While many of the superhero films released during this era are still widely beloved and considered some of the best of their respective genres, such high quality is not shared by every superhero film released in the 2010s.

In the mass fervor and excitement to cash in on one of the hottest trends of the decade, many superhero films simply failed to stick the landing when it came to creating an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Whether it was a disappointment compared to the source material or previous entries in the franchise, lacking in any originality or vision, or was forgettable to the point of boredom, there was no shortage of botched superhero failures during the 2010s.

They are:

  1. Green Lantern (2011)
  2. Fant4stic (2015)
  3. The Amazing Bulk (2012)
  4. Max Steel (2016)
  5. Jonah Hex (2010)
  6. Hellboy (2019)
  7. X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
  8. Justice League (2017)
  9. Suicide Squad (2016)
  10. Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Is Cowboys and Aliens a superhero movie? I also don't remember having any major complaints with it. It wasn't top tier cinema, but I think they set that bar pretty well with the title.

It was a graphic novel movie... I guess not really a super hero movie other than there was only one effective weapon and it was attached to a character. I'm probably wrong on this one.. mentioned it I guess because it just pushed all my buttons in the wrong ways, and for its time it was one of the biggest financial flops.

(yes I somehow missed the article and title were about superhero movies not comic book movies) when writing my (dumb) comment)
