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.

[huedell]

1. SUPERMAN II
(Mostly TOP for nostalgia reasons, especially Terence Stamp)

2. BATMAN 1989
(I just like how Burton takes on the world of Batman---add Nicholson,
and nostalgia----and it rates high with me)

3. SPIDER-MAN 2
(I thought Spidey 1 & 2 were about equal, but I think Molina's Ock gives
this one the edge)

4. SPIDER-MAN
(So great to see a version of Spidey that I like so much hit the screens)

5. SUPERMAN RETURNS
(If they weren't so desperate to link the new franchise with the old
franchise, I think this cast and director woulda made a better movie
---then again, I think that "linking" is a lot of this movies charm.
I am totally ready to "move on" from Reeve, Kidder, Hackman to make
way for this newer more cohesive team taking on my favorite superhero)

6. BATMAN RETURNS
(Again, love that Burton Batman)

7. SPIDER-MAN 3
(Great, if a little more convoluted Spidey movie----maybe they're running out
of steam?)

8. BATMAN BEGINS
(I'm starting to warm up a bit to this movie. On repeated viewings,
I'm starting to note the cohesiveness between the Wayne murders and
how they affected Bruce---his "girlfriend'''s comments on his subsequent
behavior, his contrast and comparisons to the League of Shadows,
and how Gotham and Batman are forming in this reboot.
This cohesiveness is comig off more impressive to me now,
as the movie really swung back and forth between many vibes on my initial viewing.
Maybe if they would've called it: BRUCE WAYNE: THE MOVIE,
then it might've went down easier for me. I have HUGE expectations for
the next Batman movie. I really think it'll deliver a fuller "cowl & cape' Batman
for me to enjoy---plus the Joker---well, 'nuff said!)

9. SUPERMAN III
(Superman IV was bad in a bad way. Superman III is bad as well, but a nicely
written slapsticky movie all the same-----and frankly, as much as I love
Hackman and Kidder, I'd prefer to throw this on over SUPERMAN: TMP)

10. SUPERMAN: THE MOTION PICTURE
(Pretty dang good. Classic. Yay!)

[txteach]

1. Blade 2
2. Blade
3. V for Vengence
4. Darkman
5. Spiderman
6. Spawn
7. Spiderman 3
8. Superman (the original)
9. Superman returns
10. Batman begins

[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
