What is the best Superhero Movie?

[Bowielee]

Then I think movie studios should learn from this example and make more superhero movies that aren't based on existing characters.

If they did it in a non parodic manner they might get sued... and it still might suck...[/QUOTE]

Sued? I doubt it. There are plenty of superhero series out there, and many involve original characters rather than just the Marvel/DC giants. It's a pretty broad genre - all you need's a little imagination.[/QUOTE]

Take, for example, Xmen the serie... I mean Heroes [/QUOTE]
I think you actually mean Mutant X [/QUOTE]

I give that one a pass because it was created by Stan Lee.

I did not know that.

Whoops, I was wrong, it was created by Marvel studios. It was 20th century fox that tried to sue them because they held the rights to the Xmen for movies.

Oops. Missed this thread. I also must vote The Crow if we're talking movie-good.

As far as the Hellboy discussion goes, it ought to please you uberfans enough that Mignola loves del Toro's vision, even if he does see it as separate. Don't forget, he's a credited writer on both movies (in fact, in II, only he and del Toro are credited!), so he must've had some input on the changes you guys don't like.

Of the list you have The Incredibles. Of Superhero movies in general Hancock, walking away, no one else in sight even with telescopic xray vision.

You are the only person I've seen/heard of liking Hancock that much, by a long shot.

I'm a sucker for a good story, and it had a good story. Most other movies I have watched are just about super people being/becoming super. While those can be good stories as well, a lot of times they go for using CGI instead of the story basics.

I like Ironman more and more every time i see it. I would like to recast my vote from TDK to Ironman.

If I'm thinking in terms of which movie I'd pop into the DVD player right now and watch, given the chance, it'd be The Incredibles by a long shot.

As for what was the most interesting take on a superhero movie? Probably either Batman (1989) (an underrated movie) or The Dark Knight.

Superman was groundbreaking for its time, but hasn't aged well. The whole series, really. The first two films were pretty close in terms of quality, but each did so many inexplicably dumb things that it degrades the experience.
