- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonJack NicholsonKim BasingerThe Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker.This is what I think a comic book movie should be funny,action-packed, dramatic, mysterious, fun, and well directed.
Congrats Tim Burton for the best comic book film. - DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Gwyneth PaltrowTerrence HowardAfter being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.This film is the best Marvel comic book film by far. One of the best of it's kind
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsJackie Earle HaleyPatrick WilsonCarla GuginoIn a version of 1985 where superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach on the trail of a conspiracy that will change the course of history.As powerful as epic,Watchmen takes a genre that was falling apart. It gave a comic book that ment something. Like Batman Returns, it depends on peoples taste but this film is what I think The Dark Knight should have been
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceIn the 1960s, superpowered humans Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr work together to find others like them, but Erik's vengeful pursuit of an ambitious mutant who ruined his life causes a schism to divide them.By far the best X-Men film. Fassanbender stills the show as Magneto.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonDanny DeVitoMichelle PfeifferWhile Batman deals with a deformed man calling himself the Penguin wreaking havoc across Gotham with the help of a cruel businessman, a female employee of the latter becomes the Catwoman with her own vendetta.It's a toss up between this and Batman Begins, but I like this film in some weird way better. The reason I like this film is because it's not just a blatenet copy of the first one, it's different.
- DirectorChuck RussellStarsJim CarreyCameron DiazPeter RiegertBank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is transformed into a manic superhero when he wears a mysterious mask.This was first introduction to Jim Carrey, I thought that he was great in this film . Funny,campy, and cartoony, The Mask is a true comic gem.
- DirectorFrank MillerQuentin TarantinoRobert RodriguezStarsMickey RourkeClive OwenBruce WillisAn exploration of the dark and miserable Basin City and three of its residents, all of whom are caught up in violent corruption.At times it might be depressing or you might just find the film mean-spirited. Sin City is a visual eye candy that proves that you can make a decent R-rated comic book film.
- DirectorMark A.Z. DippéStarsMichael Jai WhiteJohn LeguizamoMartin SheenAn elite mercenary is killed, but comes back from Hell as a reluctant soldier of the Devil.Not too much to say, but just entertaining all the way.
- DirectorAng LeeStarsEric BanaJennifer ConnellySam ElliottBruce Banner, a genetics researcher with a tragic past, suffers an accident that causes him to transform into a raging green monster when he gets angry.This is one of those films that people will either say they like or not, but i liked it. Eric Bana did a great job at protraying the HULK and Sam Elliot protrayed a realistic villain. I was'nt bothered by the the comic book like transitions or the hulk dogs, or HULK jumping like he has no weight.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstAlfred MolinaPeter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a former brilliant scientist named Otto Octavius.This film is great because it gave a great sympathetic villain (DOC.OCK) and Danny Elfman's music is epic and brilliant
