Top 5 Underrated Superhero Movies! 🎥

Superhero movies are everywhere you look these day. They have become apart of our movie theater experiences. But for every Avengers or Wonder Woman, you have a couple of overlooked gems that really need to watched or maybe even rewatched. So here they are my Top 5 Underrated Superhero movies!



5.Mystery Men 
(1999)
Mystery Men stars Ben Stiller, William H.Macy, Geoffrey Rush, and Hank Azaria. It is such a campy but great film. After trying to save Champion City's most successful superhero, Captain Amazing, and it goes less then spectacular, The Mystery Men must become the heroes the city needs and stop Casanova Frankenstein. The best performance of the film is Ben Stiller as he is just over the top as Mr.Furious as he tries to unleash the rage inside him to become the unstoppable hero. It's a must watch.     









4.The Incredible Hulk 
(2008)
The Incredible Hulk stars Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, and William Hurt. The Incredible Hulk is an often overlooked part of the MCU and it shouldn't be. It is the best solo Hulk movie. Edward Norton's portrayal of Bruce Banner is great (behind the scene politics besides) and with elements of the '70s TV show thrown in there, it's great. They don't over use The Hulk either and the build up to him is great, you know what is coming, but the suspense to that moment is perfect. If you haven't watched this MCU movie, I suggest you do and if you have give it a rewatch.  



3.Sky High 
(2005)
Sky High stars Kurt Russell, Kelly Preston, Michael Angarano, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Danielle Panabaker. Sky High is a fun and unique movie. It focuses on how heroes become heroes, sidekicks become sidekicks, and the family life of heroes. Plus the cast is either made up of former superhero alum or people who would later go on and star in superhero projects. Lynda Carter, Kurt Russell, Danielle Panabaker, Bruce Campbell, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. As a kid, I watched this all the time, it is just an enjoyable movie.






2.Zoom
(2006)
Zoom stars Tim Allen, Courtney Cox, Chevy Chase,Spencer Breslin, and Kate Mara. Zoom is a very underrated movie, and I think the reason is the idea of Tim Allen as a superhero. I think it turns a lot of people away. But it's a really good movie, about a washed up hero that has to help a new team of heroes discover their powers and fight something with a connection to Jack Shepard/Captain Zoom. It's really good, seek it out.  








1.The Punisher
(2004)
The Punisher stars Thomas Jane,John Travolta, Will Patton, and Rebecca Romijn. This has to be number one for me. Thomas Jane plays such a good Frank Castle and to me is the best one to play the part and any time John Travolta plays a bad, its going to be good. The stakes were raised so much in this movie and even if you don't like superhero movies, this is just a badass action movie. A must watch for Punisher fans or comic book fans.
