"The first five minutes of a movie are arguably the most important, dictating the vibe, tone, pacing, and introduction in a tiny window. While a bad first five minutes doesn't mean the film will be bad, a great opening can set a good movie apart from a great one. With the superhero genre becoming less popular, those opening minutes are even more critical, which is why this list will rank the top ten opening minutes of superhero movies. James Gunn's recent 'Superman' caught fans up to speed with the history of metahumans and the titular hero, but these movies did more than exposition, instead delivering memorable moments that are some of the best scenes in superhero history. This list will rank the first five minutes by memorability, how iconic they are, how they work as an introduction, entertainment value, and fan opinion." - collider.com
