FameFlare invited its audience to rank the major comic book movies of 2023 from worst to best. As we reflect on the superhero films of the past year, including entries from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the now-concluded DC Extended Universe, FameFlare sought input from its audience to determine the rankings based on general reactions to each film.
8/8 Shazam! Fury of the Gods
According to our audience rankings, the DC live-action sequel “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” led by Zachary Levi as the titular caped teenage superhero, was considered the lowest-ranking comic book movie of 2023.
7/8 Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Ranked at number 7 by FameFlare’s audience, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” has received mixed reviews since its release, but it hasn’t been in theaters as long as other titles on the list, so opinions may vary based on viewership.
6/8 Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
“Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” received similar vote counts as the next movie on the list. However, it faced significant criticism, particularly for its visual effects, leading to poor reviews from both critics and fans. The story failed to make a lasting impact on the majority of audience members who watched it in theaters or via streaming platforms.
5/8 Blue Beetle
DC’s “Blue Beetle,” featuring Xolo Maridueña as Jamie Reyes, secured the 5th position on the list of worst to best comic book movies of 2023, placing almost in the middle. Despite its ranking, it’s important to note that the majority of viewers enjoyed the film, as evidenced by its high rating on our official review.
4/8 The Flash
“The Flash,” featuring Ezra Miller and Michael Keaton, was in a close tie for third place but ultimately landed at number 4 on this list according to the audience of FameFlare.
3/8 The Marvels
FameFlare’s audience ranked “The Marvels” just slightly above “The Flash,” placing it in the top three best comic book movies of 2023. Despite mixed reception on social media, the film garnered praise for its elements and character-driven storyline, securing the number 3 spot on this list.
2/8 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” secured the second-best spot among comic book movies of 2023, according to FameFlare’s audience. Directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana, the film received an impressive number of votes, solidifying its high ranking on the list.
1/8 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” the second animated installment in the Spider-Verse series from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, was voted the best superhero movie of 2023. The film garnered widespread acclaim from both critics and fans, setting high expectations for its sequel, “Beyond the Spider-Verse.”
