What do you guys/gals think is the best Comic book movie? For some reson this allways comes up when I am out with friends. This is also base'd on costume/plot. Lately it has been this:

Iron Man

Hulk

Bat Man (the newer ones)

Ghost Rider

I reserve my opinion until the Watchmen comes out. :)

I'm going to have to go with:

  1. Batman, the Dark Knight
  2. Iron Man
  3. Batman Begins
  4. Unbreakable

The Watchmen looks like it has some serious potential as well.

There have also been a ton of movies based on comic books/series that are a bit less mainstream: Road to Perdition, Sin City, 300, The Spirit, Hellboy.

Actually, I thought Hellboy 1, was one of the better super hero movies.

I don't know how I could forget that one. I think I'd have to put that at number 2.

Iron Man

Hellboy I

Tank Girl

Batman (the 80's one w/Jack Nicholson)

X-Men

Watchmen has serious potential. Spiderman's are just as lame as the comic. Not a fan of the new Batman stuff. Hulk's are OK.

I cant belive I forgot Hellboy(I even have a metal lunch box) and Sin City was awsome. What about Smallville? Spiderman is ok.

I like the movies but I have never read comic books, so I am easily amused with such things. It was funny seeing Watchmen trailers back in theaters yesterday, after seeing them back during the summer... eventualy

I think they're planning to do The Phantom. Not quite as cool, but still fairly.

I like the X-Men movies the most by far, with the Spiderman stuff being second.

I'm probably the only person in the US who really didn't care for the dark knight.

Are you speaking of the "jungle" Phantom? They already did that; it wasn't all that good, but it wasn't bad either.

Yes. But I swear I saw a trailer or poster or something for another one in the works.

Not my genera at all... Hell, I wasn't really even into the dark knight. Watched it once, got board and switched to boondock saints half way through the second time...

I really don't get Hellboy.

But I did enjoy Ironman. One of the few superhero/comic book movies I have ever been into.

I'm really hoping Watchmen is as good as the novel. If it is...it's going to blow them all away.

OMFG! how could anyone NOT like the Dark Knight? Seriously one of the best movies I have EVER seen.

V for Vendetta takes a close second, and Iron Man was great, so I will call it third.
