Sheila has been around for a long time but idk if Bruce was used in the
same way before the sketch.

The first Iron Man was very well done.

I also liked Guardians of the Galaxy 1.

And a couple of the X-Men movies were good - particularly "First Class"
with Michael Fassbender.

Spiderman 2 was fantastic, mainly because of the villain Doctor Otto
Octavius.

They were alright, but they weren't as memorable as the first two
Superman movies which were revolutionary for that time, Watchmen which
has a brilliant, believable storyline and the Batman Begins trilogy
which humanizes Batman somewhat.
