Superheroes 1 to 10

This was compiled out of sheer boredom due to being confined to
bed and sorting through my dvd's

1] Superman..he has the true powers of a superhero..my fav..
and if Luther ever runs out of kryptonite..I know where he can find some spare'
'giggles like an idiot'

2]Batman and Batman returns...all his powers are confined to rich boy toys
and a pimped up car/basically he had none....it was the villans who made these movies rock.

3]The Incredibles...hardcase monologues

4]X-men..storylines were slow but once they did get going..was cool

5]Daredevil...the only movie where a real life husband and wife team worked
in [Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner] and they worked well.

6]Spawn..now he was probably the most grumpiest superhero ever to be bought to the screen.

7]The Phantom..only cause Billy Zane looked hot in purple tights

8]The Fantastic Four...now we are coming down to the bottom of the heap..
they share this honour with Hulk/WonderWoman/CatWoman and Supergirl.

9]Flash Gordon..hahahahahaha!!dig the floating city that looked like a scale model surrounded by dry ice

10] of course Spiderman 3..to those that have seen this..need i say more.



catergorise them in your own order...but these are mine.

I assume from your list that we're talking superhero movies and not just our favorite superheroes.

1) Spiderman 2 - #3 was a slap-dash mix of stupid fucking dance routines and people crying. It's like Raimi just gave up...but #2 is fantastic. The elevated train sequence is one of the best character-through-action sequences I've witnessed. And the "bad guy" actually saves the day!

2) X-Men 2 - well written, well directed and the bonus of the mutant/gay metaphor layered throughout.

3) Superman - As boring as Supes is as a character, Richard Donner's lovingly rendered film stands as a benchmark for superhero flicks...sadly Superman Returns was pathetic, stupid and insulting to the big blue boyscout.

4) Hellboy Guillermo Del Toro and Ron Pearlman is a match made in geek heaven.

5) Batman Begins It simply gets it all right. The story isn't as action-packed as some of the others on this list, but the tone, directiong and acting all score huge points with me.

6) The Incredibles Talk about getting it right. This one really knocks it out of the park. The bad-guy is a pissed-off fanboy - perfect.

7) The Crow Not perfect, but poignant...which is tough to come by in a superhero movie. Dour, even sad, this is one I'l watch over and over and over.

9) Unbreakable This one divides a lot of people, but I love how reverent it is of the comic book as literature and mythology. Another great performance from Bruce and a really fun twist ending.

9) Blade 2 - How weird is it that #2 in a franchise can repeatedly be the best effort? I guess it isn't that weird since the first film has to deal with the burden of telling an origin story. This one showed off the scariest,most original vampire creature design I've ever seen.

10)Superman 2 - "Come, son of Jor-El, kneel before Zod!" It could have been better than the original if Donner hadn't been replaced halfway through the picture.

yeah, Kill Bill and Sin City don't really count...and by the same logic, no Punisher either. I understand the logic, but they are purely human characters, not more human-than-human.

The rest all seem rather valid
