The Best and Worst Marvel or DC Comic book movies made so far?
You thought Superman 3 was better than 1 and 2!? Wha?
It's better than 4 because the evil Sups vs Clark fight. But no way better than 1 or 2. Three marked the start of the decline in the Superman movies.
Best DC
Superman
Batman (1989)
Batman Begins
Worst
Catwoman
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin
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...
Heres mine. Its all opinion though:
Best DC:
Superman 1 and 2 (the best of all superhero movies)
Batman Returns (much improvement from the first. great villians)
V for Vendetta (great atmosphere, good cast)
Worst DC:
Batman (found it boring on multiple watchings)
The Dark Knight (like the first i dont like the casting. dont like the directing style either)
Batman and Robin (miscast, misdirected, a total dud)
Best Marvel:
Spiderman (brought excitment back to superhero movies, fun)
Ironman (fantastic cast.)
The Hulk (the non Lee version. Nice tv show tie in elements)
Worst Marvel:
Fantastic Four (miscast, a let down over all)
The Hulk (over done, Jennifer Connelly cant save this one)
Spiderman 3 (Let me down on this one Raimi. To much crap crammed in)
Honorable best mention: spiderman tv movies, many of the animated features from marvel and dc, Thor.
Unrelated best: Crabbe serials, many tarzan flicks, Rockateer, can go on for a while on these...
Best :Superman the Motion Picture 1978
Batman 1989
The Dark Knight 2008 honorable mentions: Thor 2011
X-Men 2 2001
Spiderman 2002
Captain America 2011 no opinion havent seen it yet?

For me the first Superman movie was fun as far as seeing Superman on the big screen is concerned BUT I have never liked Margot Kidder's Lois Lane or Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor. And to be honest Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent wore me out. As a kid I grew up on George Reeves' Superman / Clark Kent on TV so to see Clark as a complete goof was just wrong in my eyes.
Four was way too preachy and again had Gene Hackman's Luthor. Bluh
Superman 3 however was and is to me a self contained comic book story. No need for all the "Lois longing"... sure there was Lana but thankfully the synthetic Kryptonite knocked a hole in that romance before it could go bad. Plus with the villains that were presented there were no expectations for them to live up to. And I really appreciated Richard Pryor's 'Gus'. He was simply a misguided guy that turned himself around once the reality of his actions set in.
I will say that the Donner Cut of Superman 2 made up for a lot that I felt was lacking in the original release. Those fight scenes were awesome compared to the Saran Wrap shield crap. But since it was never released theatrically and we were still left with the asinine 'spin the world backward and make it all go away' ending, I just can't swallow that pill.
