The Best Superhero Movies Of The Last Decade

The 2010s were full of capes and tights on the big screen, and as we look back on the past ten years, it’s time to discuss the best superhero movies of the last decade.

Even after the first trailer hit, The Avengers, a movie with multiple superheroes teaming up on the big screen, felt like something that couldn't possibly work. Then the film arrived, and it was an absolute blast. The Avengers is certainly not a perfect film, but it inspired a sense of awe simply by existing and being as fully formed and solid as it was. There's a certain miraculous quality to that particular team-up, helmed with humor and heart by writer-director Joss Whedon , that makes it feel magical. Avengers movies are a pop culture language all their own now, but back then, it was hard to imagine something like this working so well. That it still works nearly a decade later is proof that The Avengers was a certain kind of lightning in a bottle.

To this day, The Dark Knight Rises is a particularly divisive film among superhero fans. Still, the thing that sticks out years after its release is Nolan's inarguable sense of scope and ambition. Where The Dark Knight was often at its best when it functioned as a psychological duel between two opposing personalities, The Dark Knight Rises was epic in its scale and its themes. The film is practically operatic in its sensibility. It remains the boldest, broadest, most daring portion of the Dark Knight trilogy, and the gutsy swings it took are still worth revisiting.

Deadpool famously spent years in development as star Ryan Reynolds lobbied for an R-rated superhero comedy that would break the fourth wall and mock everything from the X-Men movies to Green Lantern. Even after it was finally greenlit, questions surrounded Deadpool's ability to execute its meta style for the full length of a feature film. When the film finally arrived, it put all those questions to rest. The movie was a full-blown phenomenon, led by Ryan Reynolds' obvious glee in the title role, and it proved there was an appetite for more R-rated superhero fare. Keep watching the video to see the best superhero movies of the last decade!
