Now that we have X3 and with Superman Returns just around the corner, what are your picks for the best?

Mine, in order:
1) Superman The Movie
2) Batman
3) Superman 2
4) Spider-man
5) X-men
6) Daredevil (Director's cut only)

(I haven't seen X3 or SR yet, this list might change...)

Huh. Tough call.

-Batman Begins
-Hellboy
-X2
-Spiderman 2
-X-Men

Sorta almost in order.

I tend to like sequels better than originals, just 'cause the character introduction is out of the way and we can get on with the story.

And where the hell is Hellboy 2? I was promised Hellboy 2!

My favorite superhero movie of all time would have to be Spider-Man II. Let me see if I can make a bit of a formalized list here . . .

1. Spider-Man II
2. Spider-Man (What can I say, I'm one of Peter Parker's biggest fans)
3. X2
4. Batman Begins
5. X-Men

That's my list off the top of my head. I might end up changing things. I know they're all recent ones, so I hope I don't get in trouble for not going for the 'classics'. I think the original Batman would be my #6, though. I just think nobody really got the root of most superheroes until recently. Also, I really don't care for Superman as a superhero. WAY to infallible for me to find him interesting.

Oh - and a side note, when you do see X3, go in with low expectations. I wasn't very impressed at all. I really miss Bryan Singer. Hugh Jackman being badass was pretty much the only redeeming quality of that movie. I don't follow the comics, but my friend who I saw it with does and he was ready to start throwing chairs around after he saw what happened to 'his' characters.

Also, that's just one Browncoat's opinion.

My list is

Hellboy
Spider-Man 2
Batman Begins
X2
Superman 2
V for Vendetta

'Might have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

1) Superman 2
2) Spider-man
3) Spider-man 2
4) The Incredibiles
5) Batman Begins
6) Superman

I haven't seen X2 but I'm not a big X-Men fan. So, I'm not sure my list would change.

My top 3 are:

V for Vendetta
X-Men: The Last Stand
Batman Begins

And the rest (in no order):
Constantine
Hellboy
Hulk
The Punisher (2004)
Spawn
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2
X-Men
X-Men United

I don't know why people didn't like X3. My only complaints are:

The lame humor. Come on, the jokes were for 8 year olds.

Juggernaut. Juggernaut's costume in particular. Kitty call's him a d***head and I busted out laughing because his helmet looks like one.

The lack of Sentinels.

Superman Returns is looking awesome.

Ghost Rider looks like it could be good also.

I'm kinda the opposite. I prefer an origin tale myself. Though having said that, X2 benefited from being able to get straight into the plot. Spidey 2 and Superman 2 I thought took their time a little too much. (Spidey 2 was a little disappointing for me at first because the trailer told so much of the story anyway, that I was waiting for it to get to the good bits)

If you've watched X-Men, I really do recommend you watch X2, its a hell of a lot better.

X3 is a good film - I'd say on par with X-Men, if not better.
The main problem I had with it is it takes a while to get into it - but it has some really shocking moments and an awesome battle.
The biggest problem with the trilogy though is Cyclops is a wasterd character - what's the point of having him if you're not going to use him. I expect Bryan Singer was saving him for the Phoenix story in X3... but since Singer didn't end up doing it... Like I said, wasted.
At least James Marsden is in Superman Returns. Hopefully he'll have something to do in that.

Enough yapping though, here's 10 of my faves (in no particular order):

1. Spider-man
2. Spider-man 2
3. Batman Begins
4. Superman
5. Daredevil Director's Cut
6. X2
7. V for Vendetta
8. The Mask
9. Hulk
10. Superman 2

And I also liked:
X Men
X3
Batman
Batman Forever
Fantastic Four
The Punisher (New version)
and Unbreakable (if that counts)

Edited to add: Just realised this is "Best Superhero Movies", not "comic book movies". So I don't know if The Punisher counts.

1. X2 - being a fan and all.
2. Spider-man 2 - great "comic book"-like action
3. Batman Begins - deeper story, and the dark knight
4. Superman - nostalgia
5. Batman - Jack baby!
6. X Men - I was dissapointed at first but
7. Spider-man
8. The Punisher - not the Dolph L. one , had some good one-on-one fighting in this, I was surprised it was as good as it was.
9. Superman 2 - All I can say is Non.
10. Hulk - slow to develop, but cool

Daredevil and Fantastic Four looked good but needed a lil work
