by Arham Khokhar
Superheroes are our favorites. They are the real characters of a movie whom we love the most. They are strong, can fight the villain, climb the walls, help the people in need and can reach any place in a fraction of seconds.
We admire them and try to be like them. They are ideals. They teach us that despite difficult times in life one should not leave truth for lie, good for bad and keep going. I always wondered if I would have a costume like Superman or Batman. I got one for one of my birthdays.
Here is a quick list of the best superhero movies you should watch during the coming weekends. So make a plan and invite your friends for in-house movie treat.
Spider-Man
The one of the most loved characters who taught us that “great power comes with great responsibility’. It takes immense strength and courage to help others in need. One has to face many difficulties in life before reaching the highest point. Scarlett, who is looking for the best fish finder 500, happily shares that she has watched Spider-Man with her son.

Often superheroes are portrayed for some special powers. Batman was different from all. He trusted his martial art capabilities and helped others. He was also known as The Dark Knight and The Caped Crusader. He lived in Gotham city and was a technologically advanced person. He was intelligent, sensitive and possessed a strong body. This teaches us we have to conquer our fears and mohe ahead in life, no matter what circumstances we are in.
Superman
I like this movie as it prepares us for the things we have whether good or bad. We are humans and we cannot change everything. It is important to accept them as they are. No matter what the situation is, we should fight back and not be afraid to start it again. This movie is famous for Superman and his iconic costume. I am sure you might have a Superman T-shirt in your wardrobe too.
The Powerpuff Girls Movie
These girls are great friends, energetic and fierce. Ritz, who is searching for the best trimmer for balls remembers that once in his college there was a gang called the powerpuff group who used to help others. It was a very famous group and people used to admire it. This movie focuses on inner strengths. There is no age to do good for others.

This movie is based on Marvel Comics. Captain America is strong and can face any adverse situation with his toughness.

This movie also shares secrets about leadership skills which are required in life to take a lead for the right cause and show people the direction.

This is a movie about a boy who is shuffled between different foster homes and gets magical powers unexpectedly. The transformation in the boy is amazing and exciting for kids to watch. There is a message about family, friends, friendship and responsibility. This movie holds comedy scenes too which are fun to watch even with family. A warning that it has some horror scenes so maybe fast forwarding them or watching them in presence of your parents will be a good idea!
