What is the Best R rated super hero movie?


Not a lot of them but there are a few.

This film had some moments but the best one has to be the Crow.

Its very very 90's but that's part of its charm.
One of the few films of its kind that hasn't been remade.

What about you?





i told you not to stop the boat. Now lets go. Apocaylpse Now

The Watchmen, without a shadow of a doubt. That film is a masterpiece.

I liked the Punisher movies.

All I need is one mic...

This is the correct answer.

reply

The Crow and Punisher aren't really superheroes more anti-heroes, with Frank being more anti. You should have said best R-rated comic book movie.

Crow, Watchmen, and Deadpool are 3 of my favorite movies in general, though.

reply

i'd say Deadpool.

the Crow isn't a superhero.

imo

The Crow is a super hero movie, it's based on the comic book by James Obar. i told you not to stop the boat. Now lets go. Apocaylpse Now

reply

being in a comic book does not make a character a superhero.

The Crow has superpowers that he uses to fight injustice. He's a superhero.

reply

is John Constantine a superhero? Eleven? Ash Williams? Carrie White? Chev Chelios? the reprogrammed T-800? River Tam?

imo

reply

Constantine is, yes.

Haven't seen Stranger Things yet, so no idea.

Ash doesn't have superpowers so no. He is, however, a heroic character.

Carrie is deranged. She could have been a superhero but she instead became a supervillain by unleashing her powers on the crowd indiscriminately (that is, without concern if they are guilty or innocent).

Chev is again someone with no powers.

The T-800 is not a hero. The T-800 is a bodyguard who does what it's told/been told. Even when it saves the world, it's not being brave, fearless, or courageous and thus it's not being heroic. It's a tool.

For many, their image of superhero is molded by the costumed comic book heroes of modern times (of which The Crow is, btw) but the term applies to a wide range of characters dating back to our early history regardless of whether or not they identify themselves as such.

reply

gotcha. don't think we're quite going to reach each other on that definition.

i think there's a case to be made for Chev and Ash, considering what they go through and accomplish in their films, and Ash being the Chosen One/Jefe/Whatever.
or maybe just Ash; Crank was hyperreal in the first place.

Sin City, watchmen, and Blade

reply

Wait, my bad. I'm not sure if you would consider Sin City a SH movie. I'm not sure if you'd consider Blade a superhero

reply

My vote goes to Sin City or The Matrix.

Blade is a superhero. The thing about Blade is context. People are use to thinking of vampires as monsters and not a super powered entity like mutants or Atlantians or Kryptonians.

V For Vendetta

reply

Deadpool and The Punisher( desperately needs an unrated BD version)

They hate us 'cause they ain't us

reply

The Crow, if it counts.

Right behind it would be Deadpool, Robocop, V for Vendetta, and Darkman.



You want something corny? You got it!

reply

"super hero"? prob the crow. let's not forget at the end of the film he ends up having to save that girl and the cop from top dollar even though it wasn't his original mission .

Watchmen is great too

reply

I would love to say Deadpool but as we know, he's no hero.

Would You like to know more?
