The Top 10 Comic Book Movies

[Bane]

While numbers one and two are probably the same on your lists..

I'm trying to decide whether this statement is incredibly stupid or presumptuous.. this list looks like it was put together by a 15 year old.

I would say it's accurate. Most people probably do have those as their top two.

a. Scott pilgrim before Iron Man? b. Scott Pilgrim and Kick Ass do not even belong on this list. c. Batman/Nicholson belong on this list.

Sorry, dude. I'm just not a fan of cartoony villains.

Sorry "dude" I didn't know a "cartoony villain" was the sum of the whole movie.

2. Batman '89
3. Batman Begins

This would make a bit more sense if you didn't mention Scott Pilgrim in your list. You obviously like a certain level of "cartoony villians." Just saying.

It's okay. He didn't rape your puppy. It's merely a list.

No love for Superman 2 ???

Sorry, dude. I've never been much of a much Superman fan. Again, cartoony villains. Can't take 'em seriously. Don't find them intimidating. Zod isn't bad, but the other two bug the hell out of me.

I *should* mention that I've never seen the Donner Cut. Maybe that will change my mind.

I guess "most people" really need to think for themselves. I personally found the Dark Knight to be a borderline bad movie.

What made it "borderline bad" for you? Are you a die-hard fan of the comics? Most of my buddies who hate X-Men and/or Batman movies hate them because they stray so far from the comics.

I guess my justification for Scott Pilgrim lies in the fact that the ENTIRE movie is cartoony. The original Batman? Hardly.

The original Batman is pretty cartoony overall. Not just the villains. It's not this grim film. It was darker than the West films, but it still had a level of "humor" to it. To me, the worst part out of the original Batman is not the villains - which I think work for what the films did - but the soundtrack. Returns is the best out of the Burton Universe Batmans, because it didn't have anything holding it back like a bad soundtrack.

I do think it's a terrible thing that comic films are now Nolanized. They can't be fun without being deem inferior by cinemagoers. It's kind of a lame time we live in. I sort of wished The Dark Knight wasn't so successful. It probably wouldn't have cemented the need for "serious Comic films."

Don't get me wrong, I love the Dark Knight. But, I don't like what it did to the "comic movie."

No, what you're saying is "Most people need to think like me."

I'm going to destroy you. Prince Soundtrack was awesome.

Almost seems like your list is backwards

honestly though no love for Watchmen? I very much enjoyed that movie, not exactly sure why all the hate against it.

As much as i like Scott Pilgrim and Kick-Ass i would rather see Incredible Hulk in the top 10 instead. (especially since movies like Kick-Ass completely changed its ending for the Happy Hollywood Ending and took the plot of being real life back into being a comic book super hero with the jet pack)

Dark Knight is a bit edgy as the Number 1, it's hard to tell why so many people enjoy the film. Honestly it took me 5 times of watching it to finally enjoy it. The first time i saw it in Theaters i could not go past Christian Bale's voice , it's still a bit sickening but once you block it out you notice that everyone else made the film what it is.

I would put The Crow above a couple of those films. Especially something like V for Vendetta.

Lack of The Crow makes me sad.

I agree totally. I think that the trend won't hold though.Thor has some nice comic bits and i'm sure GL will as well.
Avengers will definitely have some light moments when you bring characters like Thor and Iron Man together.
I watched Dark Knight once and really have had no desire to do a second viewing.
