Argh I know no Batman from the 90′s or Superman from the 80′s.
Technology and special effects have made it possible for comic book characters from the DC and Marvel universe to translate to the silver screen.
Here’s my top 5 from the last ten years after just watching the Dark Knight twice this weekend. Hmmm who’s going to be number 1? ( Capitan American circa 1990) sorry Matt Salinger fans. wiki that guy
5. Hellboy 2005
very underrated and any hardcore comic book fan should eat this movie up
4. The Fantastic 4 2005
Say what? This movie got overlooked but i felt it was good introduction to one of the best comic book series ever. The sequel, ahh not so much. Dr. Doom, let it go.
3. X-Men II: X2 2003
Ok, its the sequel we’ve been introduced to all the main characters now its time to kick ass and blow stuff up. Bryan Singer’s last go around directing it before he switched up to go revive the Superman franchise
Note: there is a huge gap between the number 3 movie on this list and 4 thru 5
2. Spider-Man 2002
That’s how its done. Great story. well casted. Enough action and a cliffhanger ending. The series slowly lost life in its subsequent incarnations, but this one set-up the big box office pay days of the next 2 films.
1. The Dark Knight 2008
I don’t know if anyone expected this going in. Just go back and watch Batman Begins, it tells a good back story, but may have been too plodding for most causal fans.
The Dark Knight just blows the other 4 films out of the water. The opening scene sets the dark tone and for a PG-13 film the directer and writers didn’t hold back. get some pop corn a big cold drink and enjoy this summer blockbuster.
Note: i have not seen Iron Man or Hell Boy 2 yet.
