(come to think of it aside from Captain america, were there any superhero films without the cape crusader in the 90's?)

I remember that I loved it as a kid (on VHS, at around the same time Forever came out). These were the pre-internet days, and after that I learned that it was a commercial flop, and that I "should" hate it. I don't think I was consuming everything thrown at me, I hated other genre movies like Robocop 3, Forever, I thought Judge Dredd was more comedy than action, but I liked the Shadow. Need to refresh my memory, haven't seen it since the mid 00s, but I think the only reason people think it sucks was its commercial failure. And yeah, it has a great score.
