Agree with all those except The Punisher.
Disagree that Dark Knight was a shining example (no backstory or motive on
the Joker like the first Batman) -- Batman Begins was the best of all.
MICHELLE H.
it was better than "The Dark Knight".
As far as "The Punisher" goes, which one did you like? The 1989 Dolph
Lundgren one, or the 1990's ( forgot what year? ) Thomas Jane and John
Travolta one??
MICHELLE H.
even in the worst top 5. X-Men 3 was absolutely terrible because they
killed off just about every MAIN original character.
Cyclops dies, Professor X dies, Jean Grey/Phoenix dies AGAIN, Rogue
gives up her powers forever, Magneto loses most of his powers.

I'm pretty sure that Cyclops lived, later on he moved in with Lois
Lane. ;-)

What I find surprising is how "Daredevil" is somehow rising in esteem. The
latest mention in TVGuide gives it 3 out of 4 stars and a favorable review.
I'm wondering, was the movie remade while I wasn't looking?

X3 was so bad I considered leaving early to avoid a riot. I loved the first
Fantastic Four. The Thomas Jane 'Punisher' movie wasn't great, but it had
some really cool scenes.

Plus a big error in the climax. Magneto used his powers to move the Golden
Gate bridge to Alcatraz. When he lost his powers, that should have
collapsed and it didn't.

Dark Knight was severely over-rated and there is absolutely no reason
to have either of the Punisher films on the worst list.

The latter.

What gets me about the reviews of the Jane "Punisher" is that there always
seems to be a mention that it is "humorless." Well, duh, helloooooooooooo.
Kinda the point?

Thomas Jane's 'Punisher' was grim. The Punisher I remember from the comics,
the one who dropped Micro's dead nephew like he was delivering a package,
was more macabre.

I don't know why people are harping on the first Fantastic Four movie. The
sequel (Silver Surfer) was a disaster.

I got mine at a comic convention. It wasn't supposed to be released at all

The budget didn't kill it, it was the inane storyline and "explanation"
of why they got their powers. Sue turns invisible because she's shy?!?
Johnny is a hothead, so he becomes the Torch?!? Ben is a thug...
Yeesh!!!

No, not the Nick Hammond TV show -- that was bad enough.
This was a movie done back in the 80s. It may be the same one that you
mentioned.
This one showed him climbing *on* people. Weird...

I was gonna mention that one, but I decided not to. That's another
character that needs
to be either overhauled or dropped outright. And then there's the Capt.
America movie from
the 90s that features rubber ears on the outside of the costume! :-D

I read that it was never supposed to be released, and how the studio
used the actors.
Yes, Corman did "The Thing" better, IMO.

The person who wrote this article obviously confused Fantastic Four (1994)
with Fantastic Four (2005). The 2005 movie was very successful. It made over
150 million dollars. I liked it so much I got a tattoo on my ass.
MICHELLE H.
not forget in Superman 3 how the the bad guy ( Robert Vaughn ) tries to
kill Supes with missiles while playing an Atari 2600 videogame!!!!! Then
at the end, Supes has to face the dreaded 'Super Computer"!!!!
The only thing good abut Superman 3 was that he gets drunk, has sex with
the Blond chick, and then we get to see bad, evil Supes fight boyscout
Clark at the junkyard.
Superman 4 was just as bad where he fights "Nuclear Man" and Supes
girlfriend Lacy can BREATHE in the coldness of space with NO AIR!!!!!
And in the DVD version of Superman 4, we get to see a deleted scene in
which Supes has to fight a retarded 1st version of "Nuclear Man".
MICHELLE H.
list. I thought it was a pretty good movie, even though the part with
tanks, cars, bombs, and Nemo's super submarine all being around in the
1800's is ludicrous. But I liked the different assortment of characters,
all with their own trademark powers.
I am surprised the "Spiderman 2" wasn't on the list?? While the action
may have being good, the story was kinda dumb!!! Peter loses his powers
just because he is UNSURE if he really wants to be Spiderman? So not
knowing if he wants to continue being Spidey, causes him to lose his
powers!? DUMB! Also, another stupid part was when he is trying to stop
the train, and he rips off his mask and everyone on the whole train
finds out his identity!!!!!
MICHELLE H.
list. Who can forget how STUPID the Batmobile looked in "Batman Forever"
and how everything in Gotham was all neon in color.
Then in "Batman and Robin", all the buildings in Gotham are like a
Gazillion feet high, and there are statues and stuff a Gazillion feet
high as well, and the Batmobile can drive straight up the sides of these
buildings!!!!!

Well, that is straight out of the comic, that their powers were
manifistations of their personality traits. Reed's intellect allows him to
be flexible in solving problems, in case you were wondering what his
explanation was. So, on that issue you can't blame this movie.

I liked Spiderman 2.
Spiderman 2 quote:
(Aunt) May Parker: "I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us
honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with
pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we
want the most. Even our dreams."

Maybe if I knew more about the comic book I wouldn't have liked it. I think
a lot of fans weren't happy with the casting of Allan Quatermain and Tom
Sawyer, and the plot twist at the end. with Dorian Gray.

Don't know about the comic, but the movie got Dorian Gray all wrong: it
wasn't that he couldn't see his portrait, it was that if the portrait was

The movie has virtually nothing to do with the comic.
mild spoilers
But really, if they'd made the LXG movie with a different title and not
paid Moore, would he even have had a lawsuit? "Your honor, it was my
idea to team up a bunch of characters I didn't create and have no rights
to. These people made a movie that's somewhat similar, using a couple
of the same characters they didn't create and have no rights to, in a
completely different storyline."
And Tom Sawyer? Tom Freaking Sawyer, who was a boy before the American
Civil War? He should have been older than Quartermain! It would have
been fun to have Richard Chamberlain as a creaky old Quatermain though.
And when you can't use Fu-Manchu, hey, substitute Winslow Leech. Who'll
know the difference? (From the school of thought that gave us Larry
Luckinbill as Sybok instead of Sean Connery, 'cause they're
interchangeable and all).

Ah. I wondered which one was omitted; I thought maybe it was the Albert
Pyun Rubber Ears version.
There's a 1944 serial too.

Ah, you didn't see it yourself? Then it might well be one of the movie
compilations of the aforementioned TV show.

Yeah, it's just two episodes of the TV show.
