Watchmen
A superhero movie where none of the superheroes have superpowers. Watchmen is a 2009 film that should have released in 2019, critiquing all common superhero moral ideologies and concepts of ethics. Rorschach is a deontoligist (Captain America/Superman), Nite Owl is a pragmatist, (Batman/Iron Man), Ozymandias is a utilitarian (Thanos/Braniac) and Dr. Manhattan is has no code of ethics as he has already seen all the decisions he will ever make, meaning he has no ideological motivator. The film carefully dissects how each character's reliance on their moral code, or lack thereof, leads to the ultimate lose-lose situation for humanity. The heroes have the option to out Ozymandias as the villain who blew up Midtown Manhattan. However, they (mostly) decide against it, given that it risks potential world annihilation during the peak of the cold war.
It's refreshing to see a superhero film where the focus of the film is not the action or obtaining a MacGuffin, but instead an introspective criticism of superhero stories in general and their often black and white morality systems. In reality, good people can do bad things which is especially highlighted in the Extended Cut's inclusion of the Black Freighter comic storyline which deserves a review itself. Conversely, bad people can do good things which is also shown through the story of the Comedian.
In final, I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in or tired of the superhero genre. Its fresh characters and complexly interesting worldbuilding are its two key selling points that earn this film 4.5 of out 5 stars.
