The worst comic-book movies
Catwoman –stars Halle Berry, the film that was based on DC Comics character Catwoman. The viewers and reviewers poorly accepted the film. According to different reviewers, the film failed to provide its audience the sense of what the character experienced, as she was transformed into a Catwoman. This incompleteness leaves the audience hanging thinking why the character transforms. The film was listed as one of the worst movie made ever and became one of Roger Ebert's most hated films. Many also have suggested that Berry should return her 2002 Academy Award as penalty.
Batman and Robin – we all know Batman and we love George Clooney. However, despite of the known comic character and actor, the movie still receives poor critical acclaim. The movie's failure was blamed on Warner Brother's decision to fast track production, which resulted the producers to create a batman movie with less torture and more heroic actions. However, many of the viewers have accused the addition of the possible homosexual innuendo in the storyline causes the film's failure. The film has random amount of rubber nipples and some close-ups of the dynamic duo's butts and Bat-crotches. The star Clooney even said that the franchise might have been killed and called it a waste of money.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze – teenage mutant Ninja Turtle is undoubtedly every child favorite comic character. This movie is definitely not for adults as this was made for the kids. However, the movie's awful dialogue made it even more unbearable for adults. In addition, the turtles show a dopey and casual attitude towards physical violence making it not an ideal movie for your little ones, as it does not make the turtles a good role model to your kids.
