Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

And today we're counting down our picks for the lackluster superhero projects that still gave us at least one memorable performance worth praising.

It seems Abin so I found another just like himself.

The last stand major pharmaceutical company has developed a mutant antibody.

The much maligned conclusion to the original X Men trilogy shortchanged many of its best characters.

But for our troubles, it also introduced us to Kelsey Grammer's stoic and classy take on Beasts.

Have to tell the students that they're going home.

On top of his commitment to embodying Hank McCoy's signature blue appearance, Grammer just as boldly taps into the character's sophisticated disposition as the Secretary of Mutant Affairs.

Beast is a trusted associate of the X Men, balancing his animalistic exterior with compassion and intellectualism.

These are the same qualities grammar brings to the role we radiating optimism and a fervent stance for non violence.

Although his screen time is limited and subsequent appearances have been few and far between, his presence keeps the film on the right thematic track, even if it's only for a short while.

You might want to sound a little less like Ain't got me no good.

I can hear those feet slapping on the sidewalk a block away.

Marvel had a good thing going with Netflix right up until this short lived series landed with a resounding thud.

Fans have found few reasons to return to Iron Fist, least of all its unlikable lead protagonists.

Luckily for Danny Rand and us, Colleen Wing was there to give the show a lot more momentum than it would've had otherwise.

Jessica Henwick more than handles herself as the martial arts expert who who reintroduces Danny to society after his lengthy time away.

The actress stays true to her character's New York sensibility, mixing wry humor and intelligence with a no nonsense attitude that gives her an advantage in any fight she finds herself in.

It's no surprise that Danny becomes far more interesting as their relationship develops.

Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer Iron Man 2 I wish I were comforted, Anthony.

I'd love to leave my door unlocked when I leave the house, but this ain't Canada.

Although the MCU's third entry isn't exactly well regarded, it still gave us an underrated, villainous turn from Sam Rockwell.

As Tony Stark's government sponsored business rival, Justin Hammer becomes a financier to supervillains like Whiplash in order to destroy Stark's reputation.

His motivations may be familiar in a little one note, but

Rockwell perfectly captures his character's egomaniacal worldview and raging inferiority complex.

Today I present to you the new face of the United States military, the Hammer Drone Army.

His over the top antics are well suited to a character who uses showmanship to mask his jealousy, embodying all of the negative traits that Tony had unlearned as Iron Man.

Hammer may be the embodiment of corporate apathy, but

the amount of fun Rockwell has in bringing him to life provides an energetic spark to an otherwise meandering film.

An archaic look of the draw that's been obsolete for centuries.

There aren't many villains more despicable than Ramsay Bolton.

In fact, Iwan Rayon is so unforgettable as the Game of Thrones antagonist that we wouldn't blame you for overlooking the villainous role he assumed after his time on the show, especially since Inhumans is in many ways the poor man's version of the HBO juggernaut.

Once again playing the scorned child who betrays his family to gain power.

Rion makes mincemeat of the material, using his roguish charisma to make Maximus Pride relatable.

You're young, pretty, smart, a princess even.

But none of that will keep terrible tragedy from falling upon you.

Though not quite as sadistic, the Welsh actor still gives us a taste of the evil urges waiting to take shape.

His ability to elevate his character's lack of development makes him the inarguable standout in a show bereft of interesting characters.

They think that freedom is something granted, but it's not freedom until they earn it.

Number six, Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm Slash the Thing Fantastic Four.

Good thing you're flexible enough to watch your own back.

It's not an outright abomination like the 2015 reboot, but

this Fantastic Four accomplishes little with its cheap visual effects and inconsistent tone, which is a shame since some of his casting choices were spot on, especially Michael Chiklis as the theme don't do drugs.

Even when caked in makeup, Chiklis makes Ben Grimm the most developed member of the team with his struggle to accept his appearance one of the few plotlines that pays off.

You got no idea what I'm, what I give to be invisible.

The Emmy winning actor brings a maturity that the rest of the movie could have easily benefitted from, while also using his gruff demeanor to sell the character's humorous exasperation.

He's a terrific foil to Chris Evans immature take on Human Torch with their chemistry serving up fun in a movie that desperately needs it.

Val Kimmer as Bruce Wayne Batman, Batman Forever Tampering with people's brain waves, mind manipulation.

This follow up to Tim Burton's Batman features was such a drastic departure in tone that it's easy to forget how committed Val Kilmer is in the lead role.

Whereas Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones completely ham things up as the Riddler in Two Face, Kilmer stands strong in his exploration of Bruce Wayne's psychology.

The Bat Signal is not a beeper in contemplating the duality between Batman and his alter ego.

His quiet intensity encapsulates the character's emotional trauma.

While Batman Forever is far from perfect, Kilmer's portrayal of the Caped crusader undoubtedly remains one of the film's highlights.

Just like my parents, it's happening again.

In fact, it might be fair to say that he was a little overqualified, as the film's over reliance on cheesy gimmicks often does a disservice to his efforts.
