8. ‘Superman’
Hey, another entry for everyone’s favorite Kryptonian. So, 1978’s Superman was a big hit for good reason. Ninety percent of the film is awesome. Of course, then the director kills off Lois Lane and Superman freaks the geek out, flies into space and then reverses time by making the Earth spin backwards on its axis. Okay, so there’s obviously a fair amount of suspension of disbelief when you’re rooting for a super strong alien who’s infallibly moral and shoots laser beams out of his eyes, but come on people. I’m pretty sure the only thing that would happen if you spun the Earth backward on its axis is that everyone on the planet would die. And that’s just the beginning of the problems with this very stupid plot device.
