Sean: Describes the first Justice League as gross
Me: At last, inner peace.
I'm not the biggest fan on the original justice league movie, but I wouldn't exactly call it gross, it's just not that good a movie but there are worse ones out there.
@@alexjones50 True, ive seen many a worse movie, however just for the fact that its a blockbuster makes it disappointing how uneven the tone amd pacing were.
It should’ve been tied with Snyder Cut it’s basically the same movie just longer
It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's...
*A NEW SEAN CHANDLER VIDEO ON SUPERMAN!*
Come on Sean.... Give this guy a ❤️!
I think people forget on how much the original influenced. The MCU and DCEU wouldn’t have existed without the original Superman.

But but but Cheessy!

Exactly
Even without superman,marvel will not exist
Even the Russo brothers admit that they were inspired by the Superman 1978 movie when they were going about captain America in winter soldier all the way up to endgame. They even said they would love the opportunity, if given, to work on a Superman project and I’m all for it.
The classic superman, Snyder cut and man of steel are my favorites
I've been on a big Superman kick recently. Growing up I was always a much bigger fan of Batman and the bat family. While I still love them, now that I'm in my late 20's I find the hopefulness of Superman much more inspiring.
*Man of Steel*
That masterpiece will remain in my heart as the best and the greatest Superman movie of all time and as one of the best superhero/comic-book movies.
Thanks to Zack Snyder, Hans Zimmer, Christopher Nolan, David Goyer, Amir Mokri and to the best Superman, Henry Cavill.
#FlySon
@Abdullah M *IT'S TIME!*
People don't appreciate mos enough.
@Abdullah M better than scores from most of the superhero/comic-book movies or maybe all of them.
The Hans Zimmer's finest but after the score from Interstellar.
@@alphareturns5988 right, so underrated.
@Abdullah M I still think the portals score is better
Mos score is still nice
Superman 78 is not only my favourite Superman movie but one of my favourite films ever!
Of the Superman related movies that I've actually seen, my list would be:
1.) Superman (1978)
2.) Superman II (both versions)
3.) Zack Snyder's Justice League
4.) Man of Steel
5.) Superman Returns
6.) Batman v Superman
7.) Superman III
8.) Superman IV
9) Justice League Theatrical Cut
Never bothered to check out Supergirl or Mole Men
Justice League ( 2017 ) is better than Superman Returns and Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
Batman v Superman is better than Superman Returns
@@abdalmohsennabasafaa7046no it’s not
I love Superman Returns, I think it's super underrated
I can’t wait for superman and Lois to come back.
same
I know right. It's so good! One of the best pieces of recent Superman media
A masterpiece
This guy really understands movies, also you should make a video on what the Justice League "Sean Cut" would look like.
THanks

You can watch him fuck Alfred (Micheal Caine) in Deathtrap hehe. Love Christopher Reeve

Superman: The Movie is still my favorite.
Superman 's arc in the dceu : you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian
Harvey Dent
Tdk reference
and then become the hero, uh, again
My dad gave me all of the original Superman movies on vhs and I watched them all of the time. I was born in 2007, his legacy probably still lives on to this day. So in my mind, Superman II is the best Superman movie ever
1) Superman Returns (i know it's far from great but i am really nostalgic for it)
2) Zack Snyder's Justice League
3) Superman The Movie
4) Man of Steel
5) Superman 2
6) Batman vs Superman
7) Josstice League
8) Superman 3
9) Supergirl
10) Superman 4
(Not seen the moleman one and i honestly think Superman as a character hasn't fully been done justice yet. And i think Superman and Lois might be my favourite version if it carries on the way it is)
Don't even watch Mole Men, it's so stupid and unwatchable with such a mediocre story (I haven't watch it but I did hear negative stuff about this film of what I just said).
Justice League is better than Batman vs Superman and Superman Returns
Batman vs Superman is better than Superman Returns
@@abdalmohsennabasafaa7046 I mean fair enough, but i prefer Returns
Anytime I get to see Josstice League torn to pieces, I'm happy.
"It was itchy." and "You smell good" are bad enough for Superman alone.
How was this comment a day ago
Patreon my dudes lol
@@TwistedReality13 ok, thats true. Very true. Fricking NASA engineer
@@jordikopp817 I wasn't being rude or anything.
@@TwistedReality13 No, i was just saying you were smart lol
Honestly Man of Steel and Superman 1978 are tied for me for extremely different reasons. Great video Sean!!!
The Lex was far better in 1978, although not as good as cartoon Corporate Lex. CR did a far better job as Clark, with HC keeping up as Superman. MoS had too many errors with power levels for my taste, although the score was great, not as super as the 1978 iconic theme. MoS had far better special effects for obvious reasons and I really liked Zod.
I know he’s from a tv show but Tom Welling is definitely my favourite superman 💪 I love Smallville
From the films tho it has to be Christopher reeves may he forever rest in peace
Love Smallville!
My favorite Superman - themed movies or TV shows are:
Superman 1 (1978) - Christopher Reeves was , in one word ICONIC.
Superman 2 - I love the fight scenes with the 3 rogue Kryptonians. Terence Stamp is perfection as Zod.
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher got chemistry, plus I love Teri's feisty but funny interpretation of Lois Lane.
Smallville - Tom Welling did a great portrayal of the young Clark Kent, very relatable and down to earth performance.
Man Of Steel - Unpopular opinion: I think Henry Cavill is a good Superman and I am satisfied with the way he portrays the Man of Steel.
ZSJL - in this movie, Superman is saved the best for last, a big cherry on top of an epic superhero saga.
43 years later, and we come back to the best..:)
Chris Stuckmann's hilariocity of Superman 4 is one of my favorite videos on RUclips
Are you going to do an updated version of every Batman movie Ranked or are you going to wait till The Batman comes out? Also awsome video. Keep up the great work.
Brandon Routh performance as Superman was so good. It's so Underrated. It was like watching Christopher Reeve perform
Probably why it didn't do so well, he wasn't his own superman he tried to be Christopher reeves.
My favorite Superman
@@chineduchris9179 Yeah it was like living in Christopher Reeve's Shadows
@@captainbatman7613 exactly,he even had lines from Reeves movie
Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve are still better
Loved the list!
Black Superman Suit rocks in the Zack Snyder’s Justice League
Also a nice touch for comic book accuracy. Always a sucker for that
"Fly son. It's time" was probably my favourite moment from ZSJL. It was the true return of my superman
I was never a Superman fan until Man of Steel. ♥️
I can not tell you how addicting this channel is
Recently saw MoS for the first time after years of critics stating it to be "terrible" at worst to "mediocre" at best, and thus not wanting to watch it. I myself enjoyed it so much I'm actually thinking of re-watching BvS again and giving it a second chance (for the Ultimate Edition ofc). Really damn good movie, almost underrated. And this is coming from a guy who isn't a huge fan of Snyder. Also, I still listen to said critics, as I'm for giving other opinions a fair shot.
I just dont believe critics,even like batwoman series is higher than mos even joker,what the hell🤣
@@jordikaka3893 lol thought you meant you liked the show. Totally read that wrong! Rotten Tomatoes is an awful website, so is IMDb most of the time. However, both Sean and Chris Stuckmann have accounts, so my suggestion is to listen to RUclips critics, as odd as that sounds. RT and IMDb are shills to an extent.
@@thisjustincomics you ask about critics
rotten tomatoes is critics score
@@thisjustincomics imbd is for audience and metascore is for critics
@@jordikaka3893 right. RT has both Critic Score and Audience Score right there, and IMDb is mostly audiences, although I would say some critics use the site to review movies. My point was that both sites have underrated movies and overrated movies (literally). Batwoman is at an extremely high score on RT, but at a dismal (and well deserved) 3.5 last I checked.
Been waiting for this 😀
Very good list. I have to agree with #1. It's influence can still be felt 43 years later as the template for comic book origin stories. There have been numerous important comic book movies over the year (1989's Batman, 2000's X-Men, 2002's Spider-Man, 2005's Batman Begins, 2008's Iron Man & The Dark Knight & 2012's The Avengers) but none more important to me than Superman The Movie. I was 7 when I saw it in theaters and yes it did make this kid truly believe that a man could fly. R.I.P. Christopher Reeve.
Superman returns is what introduced me to Superman, please don’t hate me...
Same !
Hey,we all have a first.Mine was Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Born in 03 so naturally that was my first superman 💯
Hey, nice. I believe that was my first Superman film too
Same here
Great video as always ! I wished u could play a bit of each movies theme, but idk if it would get copyrighted
Great video Sean! A video suggestion of mine would be to make a bracket or ranking of the animated DC shows! Could you think about it? I'd love to see how each one does! Thanks!
Thanks
It's tough because I haven't seen all the shows and a show takes a lot longer to watch an just a movie.
That’s perfectly alright! I also haven’t completed them, since as you said, they do take a while to finish. Don’t sweat it!
What about the animated. Movies
Love your list bro! Superman has always been one of my favorite superheroes. Time to do a Superman TV series ranking! Haha.
I'm on a Daredevil kick myself... I slept on thus character too long. So many great comics I've discovered with this character.
When I was watching this video, it reminded me of WW84, which I call wonder woman quest for peace 😆
Superman 78 is a classic! 🔥
Man of Steel is my personal favourite
Same.
I'm not a huge superman fan but thought I'd check out your ranking, because your rankings are fun lol!

@@darkseidwavyy Yeah, but just like Sean said, after we figured out what happened behind the scenes, it just became a disgusting movie.

Man of Steel is the greatest Superman movie ever and one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. Zack Snyder was just ahead of his time, sad that many modern audiences are too stupid to realise that. Great vid as always Sean!
Hmm, I know many love MoS but personally I hated it. When I watched it I just found it boring and uninteresting. Zach Snyder has huge fan base now I see him all over the place!
@@thecodyl164 that's like your opinion man
@@thecodyl164 I have to agree with u with the boring thing. The difference is I liked it. The dark tone works on BVS and ZSJL but not in MOS for me. Still a great movie if u look at the point of the movie. Maybe future movies will have darker tone like Zack's.
@@gramxellofficial7697 Yeah, I thought BvS was pretty cool. I'd rate it like a 6/10 but overall I'm just excited for Matt Reeves Batman.
@@richardabraham1101Yeah, obviously.
SEAN DO A TOP 10 ANIMATED VILLAINS! Some of them are so underated!
I would have swapped man of steel for superman 2. Man of steel was filled with joyless overwhelming chaotic action, while superman 2 knew how to handle comedy, drama and action in equal parts and was fun entertainment throughout
I just watched Superman 1 and 2 today...both movies actually gave me goosebumps they were so perfect 👌.

Henry cavil is clear of everyone else, I respect that some people think that Christopher is better because they grew up watching him, don’t get me wrong so did I and I will always have a soft spot for his movies. In fact I used to rob my dads sunglasses, and unbutton my shirt pretending to be him when I was little. However when it comes to the best superman, it is undisputed, Henry can seemingly effortlessly play Clark Kent, he doesn’t seem as awkward as reeves Kent was and Henry got jacked af for the film like superman should be, unlike Christopher. Not even to mention the effects of the film. Also in man of steel, the plot was way better imo, it actually showed Jurel, Kara and Zod on krypton.
I agree on your sentiment that Henry Cavil's superman to me has more of maturity, physical and relatability than Christopher's Superman. Man of Steel in my opinion is the greatest Superman ever made not to take away from the incredible depiction by Christopher and awesome script of original Superman, MoS to me is simply on another level in turns of different take on Superman in more of modern take, storytelling, emotional connections, Zack Snyder's amazing action sequences, original scores, visual and inspiration for hopes representing by Man of Steel.
Man of steel magnified how selfless is like by some of the characters throughout its storytelling mark the purpose and belief come to made what Superman is becoming and about. Man of Steel had successfully transform the typical superman feel into more of contemporary and fill with more of meaning and purpose for the character!
Oh, Michael Shannon's villain role in general Zod was fantastic as well and the final battle scene where Superman has to make the toughest choice of his life to kill the only other Kryptonian left in the universe in order to save vulnerable human family stamp his no kill mentality. Imagine a man with his super power but has no concern for killing...that is what make superman the greatest superhero, he realized that he can easily kill anyone in the universe, but he has the ultimate choice to NOT DO SO! That is what Man of Steel my greatest pick for all Superman movies, the true purpose of superman was beautifully shown throughout the movie.
stay safe and keep making great videos like this.
And donners is still the best title sequence to a film ever. I have yet to watch better......

(I haven't seen the other one and I put Superman one so low because I feel like it was Over Paced and cheesy for my time but it's still good and I really didn't hate batman v superman that much tbh
With the release of Snyder's Cut, I'm curious as to where you would place the villains in the DCEU now, considering Steppenwolf was actually a great villain in the movie.
Superman 2 needs to be higher on list, one of, if not the best!
It's interesting to see how far Superman has come in the movies. I've watched the majority of the movies on this list, and some I do like and will watch again while others (Josstice League) I won't watch again because of how bad the story and character development is. Though most people say that Cavill is the best Superman, I will always believe that Christopher Reeve is the best. I've watched Superman: The Movie so many times that for awhile, I believed Superman was real. Now don't get me wrong, all the other films are great, but I still reckon Christopher Reeve's Superman will forever be the best. Absolutely loved this video Sean and R.I.P Christopher Reeve: He made us believe a man could fly! 🙏🙏😢😢

2 Years later and I can't disagree with any of this. Pretty much the perfect ranking.
1.Superman: The Movie-still the best. Epic and having tons of heart, this is the blueprint every potentially successful superhero film should look to for inspiration.
2.Superman Returns-the only Superman film that even comes close to the original. Criminally underrated.
3.Zack Snyder's Justice League-a real epic of a film. The four hours fly by, all the characters get a proper story arc, and the action is next level.
4.Man of Steel-a bold reinvention of Superman that just suffers from not having as much heart as it could
5.Superman 2(either version)-a very good sequel and more personal than the original, but lacks that film's epic scope. The Donner cut is good too, but I prefer Zod in the theatrical cut honestly.
6.Batman v Superman-uneven, but I have come around to it. The only thing I don't like now is Jesse Eisenberg. But I did like him in his small cameo in Zack Snyder's Justice League
7.Justice League-has its moments, but why bother when a much better version exists?
8.The Quest for Peace-not a good movie, as it never really builds any momentum, Nuclear Man is lame, and the effects are very poor. But it gets the edge over my bottom choice because of Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman back as Lex, and it's at least short, unlike.....
9.Superman 3-This is my Batman & Robin. This film is a joke. It destroys everything the first 2 films set up and all for lame slapstick jokes that wouldn't be funny in the 1930s, let alone 1983. Nothing is properly developed, it's boring as heck, the comedy is awful, Richard Pryor gets more screentime than Christopher Reeve, Superman fighting a supercomputer is lame after taking on a criminal genius and General Zod, and what kid wants to see one of their heroes turn evil for half the movie? I hate this movie so much. At least 4 felt like Superman.
I haven't seen Supergirl or Superman and the Mole Men in years, but both are above 3. Honestly, the best Superman film is the direct to video animated film Superman vs the Elite.
What it be possible if you could do an updated ranking of your favorite DC movies? Not just DCEU, with animation included if possible.
Like I said in this video, I'll be ranking all DC movies after The SUicide Squad.

1. Man of Steel (A-)
2. Superman Returns (B)
3. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (B-)
I don't count either Justice League movies as Superman movies.
You should do top ten favorite superhero films.
Your Top Two are spot-on. Donner’s Superman The Movie is genre-creating fantastic. Snyder’s Justice League is the best DC movie I have seen in the modern age.

Imagine a man with his super power but has no concern for killing...that is what make superman the greatest superhero, he realized that he can easily kill anyone in the universe, but he has the ultimate choice to NOT DO SO! That is what Man of Steel my greatest pick for all Superman movies, the true purpose of superman was beautifully shown throughout the movie.
My Ranking
1.Zack Snyders Justice League (Reminded me why I love comic book movies)
2.Superman (Perfect for when it came out and Is the Godfather of Comic Book Movies)
3.Batman Vs Superman Ultimate Edition(Theatrical Cut sucks however this while not Perfect is very ambitious and has a lot of Great Action)
4.Superman 2 (Good considering what happened behind the scenes however it still did a great job at continuing the first film)
5. Man of Steel
(It does have great action and one of the Best DCEU Villains however it does not stand out as much however the later films improved it)
6.Superman 4
(A disapointing end to the Christopher Reeve Superman movies but I actually liked it unlike most people but it is a little bit of a heartbreaking way to end the Christopher Reeve films and I think if it wasnt for the trouble behind the scenes this might of been better than the first film)
7. Superman Returns
(A film that is fine with what it was going for but some of the acting and writing was terrible however the action was ok)
8.Superman 3
(A movie that kind of undid the Magic of the first 2 supermans however it did feautured some good action but it did not age great)
9.Justice League
(A film that I liked it when I first saw it but I was dissapointed like everyone else but after Zack Snyder's Justice League came out I just view it as an Abomination)
Supergirl and Superman and The Mole Man havent seen and have no interest
Pls make your top 10 favorite superheroe movies from the early 200s please?
Something else I think that is pivotal to Superman 1 is that it really is the blueprint for DC on how to create a successful superhero film/franchise. Two standout films in DC that it is very evident that they were using Donner's film as their blueprint was Begins and Wonder Woman. Nolan was so opposite to Singers approach w Superman Returns, Singer basically went the homage route and recreated the first film but just updated it and made it his own. That's surface level. Nolan actually took Donner's film apart and studied WHY it was successful and WHAT made it successful and applied the philosophy that Donner had to Batman (he even had talks with Donner to pick inside the directors head). 89 clearly took some inspiration, too, but begins really feels like the Donner approach / or Superman 1 version of Batman. And I think Jenkins did the same with wonder woman, that too borrowed a lot of elements from Donner's approach. Snyder's JL worked I think because he had those 4 hours to work with and his ideas really seemed like they needed 4 hours to tell everything he was trying to set up. For the most part, I've noticed that if the DC film doesn't follow some of the blueprint from Superman 1, and lessons learned from that film, the movie has a good chance of not being successful.
I would still watch Justice League over the Quest for Peace any day
You should rank all the live action Superman portrayals (including TV shows)
Superman Returns is sooo underrated. Rivals Superman 2.
Yeah I freaking love it lol 😂 I think it’s way better than Superman 2 but I have no nostalgia for Superman 2 and I’m young so maybe my opinion is invalid.
I think Superman Returns is very very good. I actually met Brandon Routh at a Comic Con a few years back, biased in that way.
When your talking about the 2017 Justice League what was your meaning behind the word 'gross' in that sentence?
Just with everything that went on behind the scenes. Joss Whedon treating the cast with disrespect and all of the changes that WB wanted to make to Snyder's Justice League movie.
1)Man of Steel is my fav Superman
2)Superman 2 the Cinema release
3)Superman the movie
4)Superman 3
Yes I prefer Superman 3 to Return of Superman. Superman 3 has one of the greatest scenes ever Superman vs Clark Kent. Return of Superman was a Love whack story I hate that movie.
I loved Zack Synder Justice League but I can't call it a Superman Movie...He isn't it it long enough. Batman vs Superman, they did Superman dirty in that movie for me.
Do you think The Snyder Cut will be in your Top Five or Top Three when you rank all the DC Movies because I loved it
Without having looked at it, I think top 5 is probably a safe bet. Top 3....dont' know about that.
11: Superman IV: Quest For Peace (One of the worst movies ever made)
10: Supergirl (What the heck even is this garbage?! Nonsense!)
9: Josstice League (I hate this movie the more and more I think about it)
8: Superman and the Mole Men (I can excuse the problems, still not very good)
7: Superman III (This is where they start to get good. Guilty pleasure of mine)
6: Superman Returns (Forgettable and bland but not terrible at all)
5: BvS Dawn of Justice (It has issues, but I like it a lot more than most)
4: Man of Steel (Packed with crazy, fun, and intense action)
3: The Snyder Cut (Darkseid was wasted but that’s my only problem!)
2: Superman: The Movie (A classic that we all know and we all love)
1: Superman II (Takes the first movie and makes everything even better!)
Question: will you include the dc animated universe movies in your DC movies ranking?
That’s way too many movies to rank. They weren’t released in theaters as well
The list was pretty spot on TBH..
