According to this super-Tomatometer, four of the five greatest superhero movies ever were released this year.
Ragnarok is currently No. 5, while also in the top five are this year’s Spider-Man: Homecoming (No. 4) and Logan (No. 2).
And the best superhero film ever? It’s Patty Jenkins’ summer smash Wonder Woman – a Rotten Tomatoes crown that brought social-media whoops from both Jenkins and the film’s title star, Gal Gadot. That title might even help Wonder Woman make its case for Oscars and other awards.
