All are easily better than a 3 hour long Sears commercial.

[The-Legend-24]

All are easily better than a 3 hour long Sears commercial.
Nah. Plus the action in MOS stomps anything ever done in the genre.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/kanyeshrug.jpg

[Myth]

X2 is the best X-Men film. I'm sure of it.


Yeah. First Class is a great story that rivals X2, but X2 has great story, action, and the characters just simply seem more like that of the X-Men I grew up with.

[bladefd]

The Dark Knight

X-men
Iron-man
Spider-man
Superman (w/ legendary Brando/Reeve)

Honorable mention: X-Men: First Class, Avengers, V for Vendetta (based on comics. V didn't have superpowers but he had power of the people), Amazing Spider-Man, Dark Knight Rises, Blade 2,

[KingBeasley08]

1. The Dark Knight
2. The Dark Knight Rises
3. Spider-Man 2
4. Iron Man
5. Batman Begins
6. X2
7. The Avengers
8. Man of Steel
9. X-Men: First Class
10. Batman (1989)

[Meticode]

1) The Dark Knight
2) The Dark Knight Rises
3) Batman Begins
4) Batman
5) Iron Man

From the reviews of Captain America: The Winter soldier, I'm guessing it's going to take the place of Iron Man or Batman for me personally.

Why would it take the place of Batman if Batman is above Iron Man? And yes, it is quite awesome.

i dont like cliche "hero always win" movies

so i dont like iron man etc, even dark knight rise was such a let down

[Micku]

Would Star Wars count as superhero movie? Jedi's could kick any Avengers ass

Nah, they would have a hard time with them. Ironman would give them some trouble depending on the Jedi, let alone Hulk and Thor. Obi Wan had trouble defeating Jango Fett. And Boba Fett is a badass who gave Mace Windo some trouble at 12 years old and gave Vader some trouble later on I read.

[Myth]

Jedi mind trick all but the Hulk they could mmmmMMMM

Isn't that essentially what Loki did to Hawkeye?

[Micku]

Jedi mind trick all but the Hulk they could mmmmMMMM

Heh! I thought the Jedi Mind trick only work on the stupid and weak willed or something like that? Luke failed to do it on Jabba the Hutt. If he can't do it on him, then I doubt he'll be able to do it Thor or Ironman. Especially comic book versions. And the Hulk...well...depends on the what version.

Luke could, if he felt like doing it, force choke movie Ironman and Captain America tho. I dunno about Hulk or Thor.

[JohnFreeman]

Darth Maul would fvck em up

The Man of steel shouldn't be anywhere near a top 5 comic film list.

I found all 3 of those movies to be overrated.

That's because everyone overrated it after Ledger died. It has several huge problems that bring it down.

Two-face teaming up with Joker right after he kills Rachael just kills the whole movie in my opinion.

The boat scene is terrible.

Joker easily escapes imprisonment, then the movie ends with him being caught again... why should we believe he would stay locked up this time?

I don't mind you saying that you think TDK is the worst of the series because it's your opinion, but everyone overrated after Ledger died?

Ledger died before the movie come out tho. Everyone was spectacle that he would make a decent Joker until they saw the movie. Even when he died, they still wasn't sure. I don't think when Ledger died it affected people loving his performance in TDK and ppl love for the movie.

[Draz]

I meant 1 lol

And the last batman movie was the worst

[Mamba]

I've never seen Dark Knight ranked as the worst of the Nolan trilogy.
Liked it in the cinema but then i started to notice some things.

At first i thought ot myself the whole "die a hero or live long enough to become a villain" thing should've been rhetorical. Not actually turning into villain. Batman should've said it.

Also the story arc was really all over the place. Awesome nonetheless but there was no deus ex-machina nothing leading to the end, and when there was no joker in the scenes it felt like it was dragging on. I've been able to watch begins and rises multiple times because I don't feel like its dragging its exciting it makes me look forward to the next scene. Rewatching dark knight im just like "they could've done without this scene. and this scene. and this scene."

Also it felt like with ledgers death that they put two movies together somewhat, after Rachaels death. Just my opinion.

[Draz]

Oh I actually liked the hulk a lot more as well.

[tmacattack33]

The three Batmans were all good and Spiderman was good. Hulk was good too.

Just a question though...i was young in the 90's and don't remember superhero movies ever being any good back then and nobody cared about them. It seems like X-men and the Toby Mguire Spidermans changed that line of thought. Am I correct? It seems that somewhere around the early 2000's, superhero movies became acceptable. Before they were seen as just for kids.

Because you grew up with the film industry expanding along with your age. Our generation have this cartoons and superheroes attached to us, to the point where we find it acceptable to follow through with the sequels or the hero's themselves.

Yes, you are correct. Before that, it was viewed similarly to how video game movies are viewed now. Superman and Batman were the exceptions.

Ditto

[The-Legend-24]

I've never seen Dark Knight ranked as the worst of the Nolan trilogy.
Some people actually do rank it the worst. I think mainly because they don't consider it a Batman movie, more like a movie with Batman in it. It's the reason why they prefer BB over TDK & TDKR.

It was a great movie, but being honest, I actually didn't care for Batman much, I just wanted more Joker.

Villains carried those movies, except for BB of course.

Same with Deadpool, but they'll never do it.

Spell&Grammer

Wait, what? I got a bone to pick with you.

You're wrong here. The word 'everyone' is singular. It is similar to saying each. It means 'every single person' and not 'every single persons'. On the former, you are counting them as individual. So, it'll always be followed by a singular verb and never are or were. Ex:

Everyone is a genius. This statement is correct. "Everyone are a geniuses" or "Everyone are geniuses" is incorrect.



According to Diana Hacker's "A Canadian Writer's Reference" (p.123 section G1-d) you treat most indefinite pronouns as singular so the answer is "was."

"Indefinite pronouns refer to nonspecific persons or things. Even though the following indefinite pronouns may seem to have plural meanings, threat them as singular in formal English: anybody, anyone, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, neither, none, no one, someone, something."

In an example, she writes, "everybody who signed up for the ski trip was taking lessons."

[Graviton]

I can't make a strict list, I rather put them in their categories based on the series, style and their overall quality levels.


1) The Dark Knight trilogy - Best comic based movies, no contest.

2) V for Vendetta, Watchmen - Darker themes and more mature subject matter.

3) Cap 2, Iron Man, Avengers - PG13 but still manage to have good story, action scenes and acting. Marvel/Disney version.

4) X-men 1 and 2, X-Men First Class - PG13 but still manage to have good story, action scenes and acting. Fox version.

5) Spider Man 1 and 2 - PG13 but still manage to have good story, action scenes and acting. Columbia version.

I disagree. That movie is carried purely on performances and action. Take away the huge budget and people would think the movie was awful.

I guess you can replace story with "characters" for Avengers. But hey it's hard to have "aliens invade Earth" story that doesn't get too corny/generic at some point.

I really like TDK trilogy but its kinda overrated. Everyone's lists here are:

1. TDK 2. TDKR 3. BB

If you want dark, V for Vendetta is better than all of them IMO (and way better action). Watchmen was also really good but I havent watched it in a while. Spidey 2 rivals TDK ("oh noes, too childish!" Who gives a f*ck? )

Also Dredd is the most underrated comic book movie. Top 5 imo

No, because they would have to come up with a better story if the budget was smaller.

Yea Dredd was really good, I saw it in 3D and those water/glass effects were best 3D since avatar. I was sad to see there were only like 5 other people in the theater room, and the movie came out like 2 days ago. The marketing for it was so bad, none of the trailers were exciting, so nobody even showed up to see it. Definitely a hidden gem.

[Chris99]

I rest my case about them being overrated

Not exactly. Superman and even its sequel were really big movies back in the late '70s/early '80s. The Batman movie that came out in '89 was even bigger. It was the highest grossing movie of '89 beating out Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade by over $50 million. And, in fact, it was the 5th highest grossing movie of all-time for a bit.

There used to be a The Incredible Hulk TV show that aired on CBS back in the late '70s/early '80s that was aimed at adults. I imagine some kids probably got nightmares from that show.

http://www.thewrap.com/sites/default/files/ferrigno-hulk_l.jpg

Kid-friendly or something that might haunt your kids' nightmares?

"The Incredible Hulk, for example, a television series featuring a large, green-skinned creature that helps people, was so frightening to preschoolers that Mister Rogers' Neighborhood screened a special segment to explain the Hulk's motives and make-up to young viewers."
