James Hoare: ''From The Shadow and Supergirl, to Daredevil and Punisher, the 10 best overlooked and unappreciated superhero movies.''
I think The Rocketeer is the best one on that list in terms of quality. I also believe there's a reason Mystery Men isn't appreciated.
i dont know about the others in the list but sky high and darkman were above the borderline of mediocrity.
wish i coulda gone.
Looking foward to this movie, unlike superbad maybe this one will have the balls to follow through with it's premise.
I just felt that Superbad started off with an interesting concept, a realistic take on the superhero genre, but devolved into pure fantasy by film's end.
Yeah..Kick Ass
