But most of these films also made decent money at the box office.
Abroad, and to be honest, even in Russia, there is a widespread stereotype about Russian cinema – supposedly our directors do not know how to film, and screenwriters do not know how to write high-quality stories. But if you look at Western superheroes with a magnifying glass, it becomes clear that the situation in the United States is no better.
Take 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, for example. The first installment of this franchise became a box office success in the United States, and so this cinematic universe was milked for twelve years after the original film’s premiere.
At the end of the next sequel, Clark Kent fights Radioactive Man on the Moon. The villain hammers Superman into the ground with his bare hands, and then – no, he doesn’t finish him off, but flies to Earth to… kidnap Lois Lane, the protagonist’s lover.
The audience got to see a woman’s flight into space without a spacesuit, and all this happened against the backdrop of Superman moving the moon. Right after he put the American flag in the ground. Selected circles.
In the 1990s, “Batman and Robin” was released and audiences were presented with a dance number from Poison Ivy performed by Uma Thurman. The actress walked over naked men, made strange faces and looked at the camera so pathetically that at this point you usually want to turn off the movie.
There’s no need to watch 2004’s Catwoman, especially after the climactic scene where the mewling superheroine fights the villain played by Sharon Stone.
During a poorly staged fight, the characters simply retell the events of the film almost minute by minute, but they are understandable: the audience in the cinema probably fell asleep halfway through and missed something.
