Cinema has always created worlds that are hard to imagine for an ordinary person, worlds where there is a blurry line between reality and fantasy and where larger-than-life characters exist. The world of superheroes teaches the audience different moral values and mostly follows the storyline as ‘triumph of good over evil’.
Cinema helped give life to the lifeless superheroes we read about in the comics. So, no matter if you are a die-hard fan of the comic book-lore superheroes or maybe a casual moviegoer who keeps the hunger high for the thrill and adventure genre, we present to you the list of 12 Superhero movies you need to watch!
