List your top ten favorite Superhero films

[Hector]

Since this thread has been revived after FOUR years...I deleted my list...now I have to start from scratch...lol.

[Earth 2 Chris]

1. Superman: The Movie. I can't be unbiased about this one. My favorite movie, PERIOD. Besides being favorite super hero movie.
2. Batman Begins: Batman done right AT LAST.
3. Spider-Man 2: The best of the bunch!
4. Superman II: I'm counting the original version here, since I'm just stickin to theatrical releases. Despite itself, and it's pieced together nature, somehow still a heckuva movie. Reeve and Stamp as Zod can get you past all the crap.
5. Batman; Mask of the Phantasm: I actually saw this in the theater, so it counts. Best Batman movie until Begins rolled around. Timm and co. can't be beat for knowing the characters.
6. X2: Another great one.
7. Spider-Man: Despite Goblin Ranger, it pretty much nailed the spirit of Spidey. Dafoe was great, he just needed a better suit.
8. Superman Returns: You can question some of the directions they went in (direct sequel to Reeve movies, super-son) but past that, it is a well done movie with a lot of respect for the character. Plus hearing the Williams score in the theater made me 4 years old again. For that alone it would make this list.
9. X-Men: Got the current super hero flicks off to a great start (I count Blade as a horror movie)
10. FF2; Rise of the Silver Surfer: A fun, family super hero flick. The whole family enjoyed it, with no questions (why does Superman and Lois have a kid if they aren't married), no overly scary scenes (Batman Begins) to mess the kid up. That's a plus in Dad's book.

I also liked Hellboy, Daredevil, FF1, Spidey 3, parts of Superman III, and even some of Batman and Batman Forever. The previous Bat-Films are so flawed overall though, I can barely watch them now though.

[filmation batman fan]

10: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: Great movie. I enjoyed the whole cast and especially the Silver Surfer. Hated what they did regarding Galactus though

9: Fantastic Four: I actually enjoyed this but the sequel was better

8: Batman Forever: Only because of Robin's inclusion. Chgris O Donnell was great and so was the costume.

7: Superman Returns: Loved it all except for super child

6: The Incredible Hulk TV Pilot and Married movies: Let's face it. Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno rule!!!

5: SpiderMan and Spider Man II

4: Batman: The Movie 1989 w/ Michael Keaton

3: Superman II

2: Superman: The Movie

1: Batman Begins: Batman finally done right, though I did not care for the military HumVee style Batmobile

[Comic Book Geek]

AH!! How could I forget Incredibles and Conan??!! i may actually have to bump X3 for Incredibles.

thanks for reminding me Brue, and shame on your Batman Forever pick.

10. V for Vendetta
9 Batman 1966
8 Spider-Man
7 Rocketeer
6 The Phantom
5 Batman Begins
4 X2
3 The Shadow
2 Sin City
1 Hellboy

While Sin City is a comic book based film, it's not a superhero flick.



However, I'll accept V for Vendetta (by a thread), which is indeed an excellent movie except for Natalie Portman's HORRID English accent, good grief.

Ya know...if I was to count animated movies...

S:TAS's "WORLD'S FINEST" might well be my TOP superhero movie of all time

Wouldn't that be something to see on the big screen!

I thought the plot/dialogue in that movie was probably better than all
the other superhero movies...as a matter of fact, there was alotta hot stuff
throughout the years with that Timm animated stuff

thanks for reminding me Brue, and shame on your Batman Forever pick.

You beat me to it.



And why are some of you guys listing the Hulk television movie???

Why thank you, I like your list too except for 'Unbreakable', I can't stand M. Night Shyamalan's movies, and I double hate that he appears in them too, good lord, lol. ...and is it really a superhero movie?

Sorry, I thought we were going for stuff based on comics. I didn't even consider the Incredibles since it was a semi original concept. Although it was a better FF movie than the FF. Oh, and how is Iron Giant a superhero movie, I always thought of it as a ET sorta rip off.
