Superman II was classic, I still prefer the theatrical over the Donner cut, warts and all.
Batman is not my favorite adaption but it's pretty good and it let moviegoers take the character seriously again.
Darkman is full of cheese but a fun stylish adventure yarn.
Dick Tracy is pretty enjoyable if for nothing else the art design. But the rest is pretty good, too.
The Rocketeer is pretty much a perfect throwback to an adventure serial, I enjoy it a lot.
The Crow isn't really even a superhero, just a ghost story but very good production and enjoyable flick.
The Mask is a fantastic cartoon come to life.
I think The Mask of Zorro is probably the most solid movie on this list. Watching it again it really follows the template of the superhero origin followed by the best current Marvel movies. A-list actors, high production value, epic buildup and good writing. I never really thought of Zorro as a superhero growing up but if he's got a secret identity, a mask, a Zorro-cave hidden behind a fireplace and such, it must be.
I must be the only person who really loves Mystery Men and finds it very quotable and a hoot. It was a big bomb but I don't know why.
Blade of course was just a solid action movie and set the tone for the MCU to come.
THE BAD:
Superman IV - mostly suffered from poor production value.
TMNT sequels - way too cheesy and slapstick.
Batman & Robin - too silly for such a high budget action flick.
Vampirella - unfortunately too indie and small budget. I expected a cult movie but it was just bad.
Steel - too silly and too many Shaq jokes. Too many audience winks.
