    I didn't have any problems with Ninja Rex Smith, since it did stay pretty true to the character and cast John Rhys Davies as Kingpin. Overall not that greatly executed, but Thor I kind of had issues with now that we see what the character COULD have been last summer.

      Instead we got this daiper/garter monstrosity... this was the nineties too and cable to boot, it's not like Barbara Eden where they had to hide her belly button due to network censorship.

        OK, thank you for posting that. I knew it was worse than that picture! Man that thing was horrible...


        PS I kind of liked the Rex Smith Daredevil treatment, not accurate but it had amount of action for a TV movie.

          Brigitte Neilsen's Red Sonja. Terrible, terrible, terrible movie.
          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            I vaguely remember a live-action Dr. Strange movie. Did it star the father from the Brady Bunch or is that just how I remember it?

            Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

              ^I think it was a guy named Peter Hooten. He had the Mike Brady perm going on.

              Gawd, that Vampi costume is horrible. I never saw the movie. Now I remember why.

                      I know it's just me, but I like that Corman FF movie more then the 2 big budget movies.

                        I'll give you "Trial" that was bad. reappearing beard was the best. Though I liked having DD and King PIn brought to life regardless of how bad at the time.
                        little known fact: this was the first came role for Stan the Man.

                        BUT "Returns"? was AWESOME! No, it did not in any way shape or form follow teh comic but it was so fun. We used to put in the VHS in college while playing cards. Thor: "So you are looking for a man. It appears you have found one."

                            I understand your angle Brian - and Vampirella was up there mainly for how bad Daltry was in it.

                            and I couldn't get through ManThing

                            the Captain America serial is hands down teh worst I have seen

                            The fourth Crow movie may top the list.

                            the newish lone ranger tv movie.

                            the first captain america tv movie



                            Even big budgets and hot leads couldn't make these bearable - Supergirl, Catwoman and Elektra

                            the worst big budget comic movie -Constantine

                              of the Dr Strange movie -if you watch it today it is dated but it was actually a pretty well made movie and adapted the comic well

                              and the Hof Fury was also extremely well done for its budget and date.

                              Crosby WW I am oddly fascinated with and it was during a time that the comics had Diana as a spy rather than a costumed hero

                              the Gen X show I really wanted to be good - I wanted the comics to be good too. Both let me down. But were definitely not teh worst offerings out there.

                                I missed a lot of the made-for-TV movies you guys are listing.

                                I'm not making an argument that this should top the list or anything, but the 1984 movie "Sheena: Queen of the Jungle" is really quite something:
                                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9aWo4hUz3I

                                I agree that movies like "Spawn" and "Steel" are crappy movies with crappy sources, but what if we were going to rank movies the other way around? 'best source material to worst adaptation' ratio? Personally, I think "The Spirit", "The Fantastic Four" and "League of Extraordinary Gentleman" would be strong contenders on that list.

                                I totally agree. At least the Corman one had B-movie charm. I think there are times where a bigger production budget can make a movie more boring.
