Superhero films may dominate the film landscape and have been for the last few decades. Alas, with every apple tree comes a rotten apple, and superhero films are no different. These unique adventures usually provide audiences with some of the greatest villains in cinema, brought to life by committed actors giving it their all. But the exact opposite is also true, with certain superhero films bringing some of the worst movie villains into existence.
The Apocalypse found in X-Men: Apocalypse is a far cry from what fans of the superhero team know outside of movie media. It was clear director Bryan Singer didn't understand a lot of the characters in the film when it came to their mythos. Terribly inconsistent powers , an actor who seems disinterested in the role, and the writers' inability to craft a compelling villain result in a boring villain.
7 Doctor Doom 'Fantastic Four' It's widely known among the comic book fandom that Marvel's first family has had a rough go when it comes to big-screen adaptations, and no attempt was as disastrous as 2015's Fantastic Four. Doctor Doom , one of the most beloved Marvel villains and characters of all time, was the biggest standout in the film's roster of shame. The studio took this character that is so precious to many and butchered him beyond belief.
Constantly spewing ice-related puns and saying the corniest lines of the entire film , it's painful to sit through his role in the film. The writing is so inept that it often feels like it was a rough draft passed off as a shooting draft. While beloved director Joel Schumacher wanted to go for a goofier adaption of these characters, Mr. Freeze is a prime example of how they simply fell flat. He isn't funny; he's just exasperating.
In a better movie, Laurel could be seen as a representation of the limitations women face in our patriarchal society, but Catwoman is no such movie. Laurel's motivations are potholed beyond belief, so ludicrous that she simply can't be taken seriously. The Oscar-nominated Stone is trying her best to keep the character afloat, but with so many scenes requiring different performances, it makes her work messy and uneven.
