Superman films have shown both the best and the worst the superhero genre has to offer. Let's rank all the Man of Steel's theatrical releases.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Here is every live-action Superman movie ranked from worst to best - from the DCEU and everything that came before it. Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the Man of Steel came soaring into comics in 1938, debuting in Action Comics #1.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace With Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, the most iconic portrayal of Superman ended, not with a bang, but definitely a whimper. It’s heartbreaking to put Christopher Reeve’s final outing in the red cape so low on the list, especially since it was a story that meant so much to the actor. Reeve had hoped to put the Man of Steel back on track after Superman III, a good thought to be sure, but Superman IV: The Quest for Peace stands as the worst of the original four.
Overall, Zack Snyder's Justice League is an improvement on the original, and one that serves to add a lot of weight and charm into the overall movie. However, the scale of its quest ultimately hampers it, by requiring it to do more than be the bombastic superhero romp that some of its strongest scenes depict.
Man of Steel Exploring the lonelier, more alien side of Superman isn’t a bad idea on a paper. The Last Son of Krypton has often struggled with feelings of isolation, a topic that was thoroughly explored on Smallville, but a dark, brooding Superman isn't the beacon of hope for mankind that many fans expect to see. However, it’s not that easy to be a god among men and Man of Steel shouldn’t be faulted for trying to show a different side of the hero to audiences.
Superman II Despite its notoriously troubled production, Superman II holds up not only as one of the best movies featuring the Man of Steel, but also as one of the best superhero outings in general. Much like Justice League, the film was the result of two conflicting visions, but Superman II still holds up. The Donner Cut is great too, but the movie’s theatrical release deserves the second slot here.
