The superhero genre has come a long way. “Wonder Woman” has claimed the title of one of the best reviewed superhero films ever. But critics haven’t always been kind to caped crusaders. Based on their Rotten Tomatoes score, these are the worst superhero movies according to critics.
“X-Men Origins – Wolverine” – 38 percent
“Fox, no doubt casting a jealous eye on Warner Bros’ rebooting of Batman, have opted to make this ’70s-set prequel a fairly glum tale of revenge and betrayal.” — Nick De Semlyen, Empire
“Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” – 37 percent
“Given that the finest special effects in this crashing bore are Jessica Alba’s pillowy lips, which look as if they could save lives in a 175-mile-an-hour car crash, it’s no wonder some viewers might find themselves wishing that the promised end of the world might happen a bit sooner.”
