Joining his fight against crime is the father/daughter vigilante team of Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, who takes things to the extreme by shooting, maiming, and slashing through bad guys in a way that would make The Punisher proud.

  It's a great comedy-action film that is not for the faint of heart or stomach.

  After David Dunn miraculously survives a train crash, a strange man offers Dunn an explanation for why he alone walked away unharmed - he has superpowers. While Dunn initially finds this reasoning absurd, he slowly discovers more and more special abilities within him.

Simmons, David Cross, Justin Theroux, Tom McGrath, Christopher Knights, Mike Mitchell, Jack Blessing, Jessica Schulte, Emily Nordwind, Ella Olivia Stiller, Stephen Kearin, Quinlin Dempsey Stiller, Brian Hopkins, Jasper Johannes Andrews

  This superhero film is more from the supervillain's perspective, but it still counts. When he shockingly defeats his longtime superhero rival, evil genius Megamind gets restless. After all, where is the fun in supervillainy if you have no one to fight?

  With that in mind, Megamind creates a new opponent, but things get out of hand when his pseudo-hero decides that villainy is a better fit for him.

  • Corey Feldman, Sam Rockwell, Elias Koteas, Skeet Ulrich, Josh Pais, Brian Tochi, Judith Hoag, Jay Patterson, Robbie Rist, Martin P. Robinson, James Saito, Raymond Serra, Michelan Sisti, Leif Tilden, David Forman, Michael Turney

  With multiple sequels and reboots, one of these films was going to be on the list, so it may as well be the one that started it all. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows four mutant turtles that are trained in ninjustu as they spend their teenage years fighting off a New York crime wave caused by their master's longtime enemy.

  A fun yet strangely emotional film that was, at one point, the most profitable independent film of all time.

  (#9) The Mask of Zorro

  • Catherine Zeta-Jones, Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, Pedro Armendáriz, Jr., Stuart Wilson, Victor Rivers, Matt Letscher, William Marquez, Tony Amendola, José María de Tavira, José Pérez

• 

  (#10) Chronicle

  • Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jordan, Michael Kelly, Ashley Hinshaw

  On the surface, Chronicle is the typical movie about outcast teens getting superpowers, but unlike most of those films, this one is shot in a documentary style. Teenagers Andrew, Matt, and Steve discover an odd substance that starts giving them incredible powers.

  As they grow in their abilities, the boys start to become more hostile and dark than their pre-powered selves were. Andrew's camera documents the events that occur.

After being physically and psychologically scarred by the mob, Dr. Peyton Wilder uses his synthetic skin formula to mask his grotesque face and create life-like masks to infiltrate the crime syndicate to take them down from within. A melancholy yet violent tale of a phantom avenger.
