Hi all!

I'm interested in seeing how you guys rank the comic book movies that have been coming thick and fast this last decade or so! But I'm not interested in flame wars... yet... so I've put the movies into 4 categories:

Fox Marvel
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel Misc. (incl. Marvel Imprints)
DC Films (incl. DC Imprints)

Now the only films I've included are films since 2000 (except for Blade and Men In Black, which I've included because its sequels fall past 2000). The older films have some classics (Batman, Batman Returns, Superman, Superman II, etc), but wanted just to rank this generations films.

Choose your best 8 films from each category! If we get enough votes, I'm compile them, and see which movies come out on top. We could then have a bit of battle between the final 32 films to see what comes out on top.

@Valdez - Cheers :) No Deadpool in Fox? Big call!
TheDayman
TheDayman - 1/31/2017, 6:36 PM
@ossie85 - To be honest, I actually decided not to see Deadpool. I found the trailers kind of stupid and unfunny, and I don't really like Ryan Reynolds or the character. I'll probably watch it eventually, but I'm not interested enough to see it now.
Philip
Philip - 2/1/2017, 2:05 PM
@Valdez - I was rather surprised with myself as to how much I enjoyed it the first time. Then, after watching it again on a flight, I started thinking it might not be as good as I thought it was. Then, after catching it on HBO, I concluded that it's one of those films that's only really good once. After that, its charm fades.
TheDayman
TheDayman - 2/1/2017, 3:33 PM
@Philip - Yeah, that's kind of how it seems to be. Fun but not a really good film.

@Valdez - GL over BvS?

..really?

Ok
NoMeaning45
NoMeaning45 - 2/1/2017, 6:34 PM
That comment makes me seem like an asshole.

You don't have to explain anything to me about why you like GL more.
TheDayman
TheDayman - 2/1/2017, 6:51 PM
@NoMeaning45 - I recently rewatched GL, and I've seen BvS three or four times, and I can safely say that I enjoy GL more. BvS had some interesting ideas, but if it was trying to be a cerebral drama, in my opinion it failed. GL was somewhat entertaining. It was bad, but it was trying to be fun, and it was at least kind of succeeded. But BvS seemed kind of pretentious to me, and personally, I prefer mindless action over boring pretentiousness. Though I don't really like either.

That'll be my list for now.

Also you could have also added an animated category to this and it would have improved it. DC and Disney both have worthy animated films out there such as Big Hero 6, The Incredibles, The Dark Knight Returns, Mask of Phantasm, Assault on Arkham and more.

@MrDandy - maybe animated bext time cos you're right. Though The Incredibles isn't a cbm
MrDandy
MrDandy - 2/1/2017, 4:32 PM
@ossie85 - Incredibles is basically an off-brand adaption of Fantastic Four.

why are people putting civil war so high up? Avengers and guardians were better.

ossie85 - 2/2/2017, 3:00 PM
@mutantsoldier2 - Personally my favourite CBM of all time. Think the film is wonderfully crafted, and went for the emotional climax over the explosiony climax (which they put in the middle).
