What's the worst comic based movie ever?

[Jerry68]

That 80's captain America movie with the motorcycle....aaaggghhhhhh!

[TrueDave]

Havent seen Catwoman or a few of the others. Most had some good moments. Superman 3 had some great moments like teh junk yard fight. Supe 4 still had Reeves , I didnt like Spiderman 1 AFTER he got the costume , I really enjoyed Spiderman 2 , and Im not a big Doc ock fan, I was looking forward to another Spiderman but then there was 3.

Personally I have a serious Hate On for Dark Knight for many reasons.

It's tough becuase some of these looked so bad I never saw them

Steel - I never liked the cahracter in the comics so I never put time into the Shaq film

Crow city of angels - only saw the Brandon lee film never the sequels (and didn't even know crow was a comic for years after the film)

Elecktra - hated Daredevil so I never gave this a chance no matter how cute jennifer Garner is

Batman & Robin was horrid but the "logical" over the top progression from Batman Forever. The effects and Mass villians take over the film making the weak plot that much worse (like SPiderman 3) but the effects are well done

much as it pains me -
Superman iv is my pick, it had potential (nuclear man, clark's double date, hackman returns) but the execution UGH (never mind Jon Cryer replacing Ned beatty) and now having seen the alternate cut scenes it actually could have been worse and it derailed superman films for 20 years (and counting based on most peoples feelings about Superman returns)

Wow, that's tough. I've never seen The Spirit or Steel, and I've only seen bits and pieces of Catwoman that I flipped past on TV. I can't really pick those, even though I know they look horrible.

Elektra wasn't really bad, per se, just totally unwanted by just about everyone.

Superman IV would have never been great, but maybe if it hadn't had it's budget slashed in half and edited together by a salad-shooter it would have at least been watchable.

Superman III has too many good moments to be the worst. The bad moments are almost unwatchable, but the good moments are pretty entertaining.

Was Crow: City of Angels the 2nd one? If so, it was a flaming turd.

Spider-Man 3 has some awful, cringe-worthy moments, but I feel that by that point the studio was inflicting their will on Raimi. My kid loves it, so it works on some level. I can't say I hate it. It's just far short of the first two, especially the 2nd movie, which was a near perfect Spider-Man story.

Howard the Duck, I never cared for him. Too young to really get him in his heyday. I saw the movie when it came out on VHS. I think that's the only time I watched it. It's...odd. It looks like a kid movie, but it's racy. But I guess the comic is too. I seem to remember it being not very funny, but I can't really judge it versus the source material.

Batman and Robin has no excuse for being that bad. Everyone involved should have known better. Mega-budget, huge stars, famous director (who actually does have some talent, despite what everyone usually says about him), massive product tie-ins and merchandise.

Okay, I'll pick that one. It derailed a billion dollar franchise for 8 years. But it did give us the Nolan reboot as a result!

Worst I've ever seen is Hasslehoff's Nick Fury.

I'll agree with this 100%, although I guess it doesn't really have an even playing field as a made for TV movie. We are talking about the level of production values that gave us Generation X and the Justice League TV Movies.

[BlackKnight]

I picked Superman 3.
It was the 1st time I feel a Comicbook Movie Sucked, That I cared about.. and Showed you how Bad Something Can Suck, when the 1st 2 were so Great.

I picked Steel over Catwoman simply because Halle Berry is better looking than Shack...

Damn right

I'm amazed that enough folks went and watched Steel to be able to vote on it!

If people tell me something sucks I'll usually see it for myself anyway, just to be sure. Cause someone else's taste isn't always mine. In this case tho I should've listened

It got such bad press I couldn't wait to rent it. It's not "Battlefield Earth" kind of fun though.

[Meule]

Steel wins this hands down, biggest piece of crap I've ever seen

[palitoy]

though why so much hate for the Spirit I liked that movie reminded me of the 20's and 30's pulp stories and

Like Steel, it tosses out almost everything the character was about in lieau of the director's vision and man, he of all people should have known better. He made a campier version of Sin City instead of any sort of Spirit film.

he runs like he does in will eisners comic

Yeah, that makes it better.
