I hear the voices inside my head. They counsel me. They understand. They talk to me.
Are you kidding me? The cast is horrible aside from Ben Parker and Norman Osborn.
Mary Jane is supposed to be hot, like incredibly sexy, and Pete is supposed to be lanky, good looking and not not sarcastic (nothing to do with Toby, but he's too much of a pussy to be anything but).
Again kt, you prove to be a fucking moron.
I thought J Jonah and Aunt May were cast pretty perfectly. MJ was fine -- Kirsten Dunst is pretty hot and you buy that she's a friendly hot person -- and Tobey Maguire was a sympathetic dork and a believable wiseass in the first movie.
The casting was pretty good the whole way through. The writing is where the second two movies failed and the first movie wasn't all that impressive.
Agreed with Jonah and Aunt May, but no MJ needs to be model hot (she's a model in the comics) and Kirsten Dunst doesn't have an upper lip and isn't even a natural redhead; that was the whole deal with Peter and MJ, she's just wayyyy out of his league.
Doc Oc was great, Venom and Sandman sucked horribly, as did the new Green Goblin (everyone can agree that S3 sucked); and the wisecracking jokes were never there.
Seeing those billboard posters of MJ/Dunst all done up like a model is perfectly convincing "model hot".
And yes, pretty much everything about number 3 sucked. I'm going to ignore it entirely. And yes, the wisecracking jokes weren't really there, but that's a writing quibble, not a casting one. In any case you should probably retract your brash comment that the casting was "horrible" and that bit where you call someone a "fucking moron" for thinking that the casting was good.
The Dark Knight. I believe it is hands down the best superhero film ever made and it is also my favourite. However I want to give a nod to others which I really like. I loved X-Men 2, as did I love Superman 2. The Spiderman movies were a dissapointment. For me the third didn't get good till the last half hour or so and by then I was almost asleep. They hyped Spiderman 2 I remember as being the greateat superhero flick ever. Bullshit. For me the 1989 Batman film was the best (at that point) and X-Men 2 was a close second.
I loved Blade too, I remember the first time I saw it. I was in awe of it.
Willow
may not be super, but he's a hero in my eyes and in my heart
I guess Ironman. I loved the cast, paced well, and enjoyed every part. The Dark Knight comes second because I felt it was a little long and there is so much to be missed you have to keep watching it over and over to get everything. Would rather do that reading a book. Constantine and Hellboy are also favorites of mine.

@Absolution: Kirsten Dunst was a model as a child before she pursued acting.
Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

I said casting was great, not the script. I think Kristen Dunst is attractive enough to play MJ. Also, who cares if she is a natural redhead?
Kristen Dunst WAS attractive enough to play MJ back in the day. Not so much anymore.
the phantom
gotta love billy zane's ass in them tight tights.. mmmm sexy.
truth
The Dark Knight. I'm not a big fan of superhero movies and I don't think I have ever read a comic book in my life so this was one of the only ones I could even think of. Excellent movie though.
Damn this is a hard call. I gotta go with the Double Dragons Movie. I mean, I had to have watched that at least two hundred times when I was little.
How can you knock blade trinity? It was the greatest Ipod commercial ever!
Blade actually was a fantastic comic book movie
You are right
Also, someone itt said that Sandman in Spiderman 3 sucked, but Sandman was the only good thing about that movie.
Also, disappointed that nobody else represented the ninja turtles.
cause they were nothing like the comics
And no offense, but TMNT is just about as overplayed as Nightmare Before Christmas
Sin City was a decent comic book movie too.
I hear the voices inside my head. They counsel me. They understand. They talk to me.
Decent? Did you mean most faithful comic book movie to date?
For the most part.
I hear the voices inside my head. They counsel me. They understand. They talk to me.
Faithful doesn't mean good. 300 sucked.
I can't say whether or not that's true. Haven't seen it.
Castle, your opinion please?

GI Joe: The Movie
the 1986 version not this bullshit they are making today.
He'll get a hard-on for most comic book movies anyway.
Fine then, I'll wait for an unbiased view.

.......too harsh
Plus, I said 'favorite superhero movie', not 'superhero movie you think is the most faithful to the source material'
300 wasn't faithful, and in all fairness, the 300 comic is only about as long as ONE of the Sin City ministories.
Also, the 300 comic wasn't that fantastic. I mean, you immaculately render a shitty comic to a movie, it's gonna be shitty. You do the same with an amazing comic (Sin City, Ideally Watchmen) and I jerk off
.......too harsh
Plus, I said 'favorite superhero movie', not 'superhero movie you think is the most faithful to the source material'
No no, i agree, I just prefer the comics tone to the comedic tone of the movies.
I preferred the first TMNT. April was hotter........too harsh

Batman begins and Spiderman were good. I watched fantastic four last night and found it amusing, if a little weak.
Also i think The Incredibles deserves a mention. I usually hate that incessant stream of feel good pixar animations that we are subjected to every year, but this one did make me laugh.
Good idea bringing up The Incredibles. I've loved every Pixar movie I've seen, which is all but Cars, and The Incredibles was a damn good effort.
Dude I freaking loved Incredibles
I think I might have wet myself today http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808665084/video/11128168
I am pretty excited about Xmen Origins as well. Gambit looks spot on, as does pretty much everyone else, but especially Gambit and Deadpool (I reckon this is when he first enters the weapon X program which is why he isn't all scarred and disfigured yet).
that looks hot
since it seems that combic movies = superhero movies (judging from the way this thread has turned), I thought 300 was brilliant.
I don't know anything about Deadpool really (except that he's a joke character, which I'm cool with a long as he's treated as such) but I do know Ryan Reynolds is gonna make me jizz in my pants
I would suggest reading up on Deadpool, his origin is actually really interesting. He is one of the few non-cosmics who has actually seen and communicated with Death.
Well christ, didn't Loki put a curse on him at one point so that he wouldn't die? I once had an argument with Coldreaper where she implied that Deadpool was the strongest character in the marvel universe
It was the stupidest argument I've ever heard in my entire life.
