As another year in movies draws to a close it’s once again time for the usual annual debates, ranking movies released in 2013 according to various criteria of consideration. While every critic and awards show will be arguing over which movie ranks as overall best, or which actor or actress did best, we here at Screen Rant would rather take on a more specific – and more volatile – debate: which superhero movie was the best of the year.
The A.V. Club’s Worst Films of 2013
1. A Good Day to Die Hard
2. Dealin’ With Idiots. “The out-of-nowhere finale concludes with Garlin and the cast dancing in a circle around the camera, perhaps as part of some ritual to ask for the viewers’ forgiveness.”
3. And While We Were Here
4. Man of Steel
5. A Haunted House. “Working in the contemplative tradition of contemporary art cinema, Marlon Wayans and director Michael Tiddes fill A Haunted House with long stretches of inactivity and visual empty space, affording viewers ample time to think about all of the terrible decisions the’’ve made in their lives — like, say, watching A Haunted House.”
6. Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor
7. Austenland. “This Sundance-approved rom-com seems less informed by the best of English literature than the worst of Saturday Night Live.”
8. Gangster Squad
9. The Big Wedding
10. Dario Argento’s Dracula
11. Wrong
12. Battle of the Year. “It’s probably a bad sign when a large chunk of a movie consists of the characters watching a different, better film about the exact same subject.”
13. Planes
14. Hatchet III
15. Girl Most Likely
