The worst DC Comics movie, according to IMDB

Although Marvel has achieved up and down in the past few years, it is largely acceptable that the traditional wisdom is now, when it comes to the world of modifications in the cinematic book, they have always done better things or at least more consistent than the capital. The DC distribution arm has passed by Warner Bros. With many repetitions for some of the most essential comic books company, such as Batman and Superman, due to distinguished directors such as Christopher Nolan and Zak Snyder the desire to place their seal on these distinctive numbers because some of the most obvious efforts were Switz. Yes, some DC Comics movies were great, such as “Dark Knight” trilogy from Nolan, but then there are films like “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” or “Catwoman”, to name a few.

However, although these last two films may be more famous in the nicknames of the capital, neither of them can demand the doubtful honor for being the worst DC movie, as long as you limit yourself to the classifications to IMDB. It should be noted in this turn that looking at the IMDB classification of the film may not tell you the entire story, because some films have been exceptionally classified by users on the website, but it may not have great degrees similarly to the assembly site such as metacritic (or vice versa). “Catwoman”, for one, has a very low IMDB a result; It is in 3.4 out of 10, which is appropriate given the poor quality of the film and a bad reputation on an equal footing. But no, this is not the worst. What wins this golden turkey? Well, this will be the 1997 superhero movie.steel“With 3.0 on IMDB. You remember “steel”, right?

You can forgive not to remember any details about Warner Bros. “Steel”. When it was released in mid -August 1997, the best -selling point was simple: What if the American Professional League star Shakil O’Neil was the lead in a super film? Shak was common enough through this point to A) he had his own title, and B) he actually starred in another movie aimed at partially relying on his existence and recognition of names. Although Shack was not a player on the field like Michael Jordan, another legend in the American Professional League, which appeared in the family movie “Space Jam” in the previous fall, he was a well -known quantity and the hero’s superhero films were not at this stage. Of course, the negative aspect of “”steel“Do you have a doubtful honor on an equal footing in being the second super film in the summer of 1997?

So I had a difficult “steel” to follow everything himself. But that was also dependent on a character that many people were not aware of, which could partially explain the fact that the film’s budget was very low for a super film, and according to only $ 16 million. Even with this low budget, the box office was laughing, as it achieved less than two million dollars when everything was said and done. The story, about an arms designer named John Henry Airons (O’Neill) and how he resigns from his work after seeing the damage that his friend Susan Sparks (Annabeth Jaysh) may appear at first remembering a slightly reminded of the arc of the Marvel 2008 movie “Iron Man”, “The level of weapons density that is used less. Among the high foods. (It tells that, according to the film Production notesProducer and music Queens Jones says steel is more than a “super human” more than a super hero.)

And of course, there is a shackle O’Neill himself. On the one hand, its popularity exceeded the American Professional League. One of the productive hiccups was to have to know the time of filming in the middle of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and also prepared for a new season of the American Professional League with his then Los Angeles Lakers. On the other hand, as the family movie “Kazaam” has already explained, the talent of O’Neal has not been repeated on the field easily on the big screen. In short, his acting talents were not impressive, which means that the center of the film will not be familiar as necessary. (Writer/director Kenneth Johnson will say that later O’Neil poured was a mistake.

In fact, it is almost impressive that “steel” has a lower IMDB classification than “Catwoman”, specifically because the 2004 movie was much larger and more clear. When Warner Bros. Pictures are able to collectively ignore their metaphorical shoulders with “steel”, either because fans of non -coral books were not aware of the personality or because the boundaries of Shakil O’Neill were hindered by his chances, and it was not possible to say the same “catwoman”. The character cannot be recognized in an uncompromising and creative way over the decades, and the star Haley Perry was new to the outstanding Academy Award. However, although more than 100,000 people ranked “Catwoman” on IMDB, it is just a few points above “steel”.

Can “steel” work at all? It is easy to wonder if you have a different pioneering man who would be useful, especially since Johnson wanted to play Wesley Snez the title of the title. Instead, of course, Snipes entered the Marvel Superhero Blade game in a successful trilogy (with this character that is likely to be revived in MCU, although it is at this stage, who knows when it will actually happen). O’Neal managed to overcome the storm of playing this unsuccessful champion thanks to being one of the most American professional league players. Given the speed of forgetting “steel” at the box office, we can only assume that the negative enthusiasts on IMDB reflects the most heavy comic writers who have excessive protection even for less famous heroes and are marginalized in the end result.
