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.

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.

These girls are great friends, energetic and fierce.

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.
