It certainly has been a while since I’ve done a top 10 list, which I apologise for. But, I’m back, and what better way to make a return than with a superhero themed list! Superhero movies are arguably my favourite kind of movies. They transport you into a world filled with wonder and things you could only dream of. Some films do it better than others, especially these 10.

However, I’m glad to be able to say that after viewing San Andreas, I’m very pleased.
What’s scarier? Quite a lot – Poltergeist review
I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for horror remakes. As a wee boy I watched films like The Ring and The Grudge, and obviously I was terrified. Even to this day I find them pretty creepy. But what is important to remember, the original films were foreign classics, giving more room for originality in a remake.

An experience: Boyhood review
How can I introduce Boyhood? I could compare it to other films, or think of a witty introductory comment. But when it comes to Boyhood, this is unnecessary. It is incomparable.
