This article is just my opinion about some of the worst decisions in comicbook movie history although I'm sure I left off some obvious ones. BTW I have left off casting choices to do in another editorial.
5-Brian Singer Leaving X men 3 to direct Superman returns
There's no doubt that the first two x men films were brilliant, perfectly showing mutants struggle for acceptance within the world while maintaining a summer movie feel. Brian Singer decided to leave x men 3 to direct super man inadvertently ruined two superhero movies in the process. Brett Ratner was hired to direct the movie and although it wasn't terrible is just didn't live up to its predecessors in tone and style. Superman returns was the same as x men, an ok film, not bad but not good, also James Marsden was cast in superman returns thus making him unavailable for most scenes in x men and resulting in cyclop's untimely fate.
4-The story of spider-man 3
Spider-man 3 was a classic case of the director trying to please everyone. Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire both wanted the sandman, the studio and the fans wanted the venom story and he also had to wrap up the goblin saga. The result was a muddled story which people hated. Sam Raimi also had to introduce these new characters within a 2 1/2 hour time frame, the result leaves alot to be desired. although the special effects are top notch they hardly make up for the rest of the film,especially Dunst as Mary Jane.
3- Making Deadpool Baraka from mortal kombat
X men origins wolverine was clearly a film used to introduced characters that could be used in future x men movies but the only problem was that these characters had next to no screen time. Deadpool was one of them. I am a big deadpool fan, I'm not one of those people who have just recently got into deadpool through video games, no i was there in Joe Kelly's original(and the best) run on deadpool, but in X men origins (or wolverine 4) he has his mouth sown shut and blades inserted into his arms just like baraka, it was an insult that one of my favorite characters was changed into this.
2-Not releasing the daredevil's director cut in cinemas
This one is pretty obvious to anyone who has watched it and proves how incompetent movie producers are. The directors cut was better in many ways, the story fits together better and there is even an entire sub plot featuring a drug addict is removed. This version is closer to Frank Miller's perception of the character and if it was released in cinemas maybe there would of been a sequel based on born again.
1-Batman and robin
Another obvious choice. Everything about this film is wrong but it all goes back to the studio in a money making scheme. After the toned down batman forever the studio decided to release an even lighter version, but at its heart batman and robin is just a big toy commercial. There are batsnowmobile and special batsuits all used in the film to market the toyline, throw intedious dialogue and a little direction for the actors and you have batman and robin
