Top 10
1. Batman Begins (the definitive Batman film with Christian Bale as the best ever Bruce Wayne/Batman, the film also has strong support all around, especially from Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and future star Cillian Murphy, who plays the creepy Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow)
2. Spider-Man 2 (the best of the 3 Spidey films…..by far)
3. Sin City (near perfect rendering of Frank Miller’s gritty graphic novel)
4. The Crow (brooding goth classic with Brandon Lee’s final performance in a stylish-looking Blade Runner-esque Hell)
5. V for Vendetta (The Wachowski Brothers surprisingly good adaption of Alan Moore’s graphic novel, with a strong moral about the effects that facisism and the evil of the right-wing fanatics have on a free society)
6. X2: X Men United (the best of the X Men films)
7. Superman 2 (the most purely entertainly Superman film)
8. Superman (a classic)
9. The Punisher (another surprisingly good and faithful adaption of the Marvel Comics book about a brooding anti-hero out to get revenge on the people who killed his family and ruined his life)
10. Spider-man (Not perfect, but it did a great job introducing Spidey to the silver screen)
BOTTOM 5
1. Batman and Robin (one of the worst films of all time)
2. Crow: City of Angels (see above comment)
3. Spawn (a total trashing of the ultra cool comic and anime from Todd Mcfarlane)
4. Superman 4 (terrible)
5. Daredevil (a miscast and mumbling Affleck, nearly comatose in a gay S/M suit…..where’s Matt Damon when you need him)
So, what are the best and worst comic book films, you’ve ever seen ? Feel free to comment and post your most loved and hated

I pretty much agree for the most part. Punisher should be replaced with either Blade or Blade 2. And where’s TMNT, wasn’t that based on a comic book?
Bottom 5 pretty much nails it. I didn’t think Daredevil was that bad though. I would replace it with Hulk.

Top ten from my point of view: spider man 1-3, the punisher (w/ thomas jane), sin city, batman begins, batman (w/ michael keaton), blade, superman, and tmnt.
Bottom 5…. Oh, that’s easy:
spawn (geez, such a kick-ass comic…. and the movie….. damn!)
batman and robin (the nipples on the suits….. not needed!!!)
the hulk (2.5 hours of nothing–you don’t even catch this on cable)
daredevil/elecktra (….. fuse them together for a shit-sandwich)
and the worst ever: STEEL, w/ shaq! (it woulda’ been kazaam, but that wasn’t a comic–or so i believe it wasn’t)
