footballhenry Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Pretty simple, what is your favorite movie made, or the best made? Doesn't matter on the specifics, its just for fun. It comes down between Batman Begins, X-men 2, and Sin City for me. Tryin to decide between those 3. Also, I know I didnt get EVERY single comic book adaption (i believe they made wonderwoman, and the old f4 movie) but I put the ones up that were mostly known, popular, and modern. (since we are in the age of comic book films right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebornempowered Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Spiderman 2. I loved the first one but 2 was, in my opinion, a nearly perfect movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDane Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Man. In terms of quality movie, I'd say Spider-Man 2 and Superman: The Movie. In terms of what movie I get most fired up for, it's definitely Blade and the beginning and ending fight scenes. Both Batman and Batman Begins are very high up there. I cast my vote for Superman: The Movie on the basis of its being a pioneer. Edit: Good poll, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I personally prefer the "punisher" with dolph lundgren. but it aint listed....sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomerics Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Personally, I'd say none of them. X-men was probably the "best" of the lot with Superman II not far behind, but that isn't saying much when you are against the likes of Dick Tracy and Catwoman :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Hog Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Since you didn't list Spawn, I'll say Spiderman II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Gotta go old school on this one. Superman gets my vote. Spider-man would have to be second, followed by X-Men II. Haven't seen Sin City yet, but I've heard good things and I was a fan of the book, so I could see that moving into the top three. I know it's not listed, but Mystery Men deserves a mention, even though it was primarily a comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that movie. I can't believe how few people have seen it though. It is one of my favorites. I have exposed several people to it over a meal of my homemade buffalo wings!

The Evil Genius Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 You forgot The Phantom (cheesy Billy Zane), The Shadow (bah), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I and II (heroes in a half shell). Seriously, other than the portrayal of Lex Luther as a campy villain - the original superman movie is tops. Although the Spidey series is close.

The Evil Genius Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Another to the list might be League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - a movie that could have so much cooler/better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I voted for the OG batman although I have not seen many of those movies listed. Sin City was definitely up there too, and I am going to see Batman Begins later today so I might change my vote then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I don't about the best, but the worst that I've seen has to be Daredevil starring Ben "supplemental insurance" Affleck. One of only two movies I've walked out on in my entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 It was a tough choice between Tim Burton's Batman and the 1st Spiderman. I went with Spiderman, they just did such a great job with his origin. The acting and story was superb and it also had some of the best special effects to date. Really the "Superhero" movie that I think totally nailed being believable. Batman Begins would be my 3rd choice. I posted this without looking at responses and I am surprised Superman gets so much love. I mean I really loved the movie as a kid but feel it aged poorly.

The Evil Genius Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Funny, I liked Daredevil mostly for two things - Jennifer Garner (representing!) and Colin Ferrel's role as Bullseye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDane Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Spawn and Mystery Men, those were two quality flicks. Hey, does The Crow count? Wasn't that a graphic novel back in the 80's or something? Some other notable movies: Men in Black - that might make my top 5. Hellboy - good movie, but not elite Darkman - also good movie Judge Dredd - :laugh: Not sure about Underworld...

Spaceman Spiff Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Batman begins with Sin City a close 2nd. hard to choose just one though, the xmen movies are great...so is spiderman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Oh man...the Crow was great and I love Mystery Men too. The Crow may have changed my mind. hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinthePRF Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 1. Batman Begins 2. Spiderman II 3. Superman II 4. Blade II Those sequels always seemed to work out the kinks from the first, but Batman IMO really raised the bar on taking a ridiculous concept, a guy in a silly costume and making it applicable to the real world.

Ghost of Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Agree with Kevin here. Batman Begins, while not as good in certain places as other comic book movies was SO MUCH MORE realistic and believable. And the characterization was a lot better. I felt like I was watching an actual normal movie for the most part. I'm not anti-comic book movie at all. Hey, can I throw in a vote for American Splendor? Not a superhero one at all but still good. The best superhero movie(NOT based on a comic) is still, for me, Unbreakable. Not a popcorn flick at all, and I just tear up when David Dunn fights and kills the "Orange Man." The music is fantastic--better than any superhero music(INCLUDING Batman original and Superman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
