#10- Spider-Man 2
A sequel that can stand on its own. Dr. Octopus is actually better in this movie than I've ever seen in comics.
I never really liked Iron Man, then Robert Downey jr. got clean and sober.
So many classic lines. "This is Sparta!!!!" Bonus points for making a comic book movie women want to see as much as their men, although not for the same reasons
"Hulk, smash." 'Nuff said.
"Remember, remember, the fifth of November." A little history lesson for those that are doomed to repeat it.
Sam Raimi nailed it with some help from Tobey Maguire. The first superhero movie to get it right. I know I'll catch hell from the Superman fans for that comment.
The movie looked like Frank Miller drew it. Mickey Rourke finds the roll he was born to play, Marv.
The first superhero movie to take things seriously, and it worked.
So we're going to watch a new Batman movie. Wrong, we're going to watch Heath Ledger become a legend.
I believe the first true non animated adaptation of a comic book. It was said to be impossible but I was floored by this when I saw it in the theater. It surpassed my expectations, sorry Mr. Moore.
There you have it, my first best of list. Feel free to let me know where I am wrong, I love arguing about comic books.

No X-Men 2? I personally thought that one was really good, probably my 2nd favorite (after Watchemen, natch).
ReplyDeleteWe recently had a Super Hero movie weekend to bring my kids up to speed and it was great. I would probably move Avenegrs up a little bit, first time Hulk has been done right. I might not have Spider Man 2 on the list and I would probably have the first X men. I was glad to see no punisher, Daredevil or Ghost Rider.
ReplyDeleteActually, my favorite super hero movie is "Super", but it's not technically a "comic book movie".
ReplyDeleteI think the Avengers, if nothing else, proves that there is no way to make a Captain America uniform on a real person that doesn't look stupid.
