SaysWho? Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 We've been saturated to the point where most big releases seem to be superhero/comic book films, something that used to be more rare, especially prior to 2012. But we're also at the point where there are so many that there may be quite a bit of variety in what people feel are the ones that stand out to them. Here are some of the biggest ones that broke weekend records: For reference: Marvel DC Non-Marvel or DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Oooh, fun. Truthfully, I'm not good at lists like this. I know my general favorites and I can always say what my top one or two are, but beyond that, the order is interchangeable. Best list would go something like this: X-Men: Days of Future Past X-Men: First Class Black Panther Thor: Ragnarok Captain America: The First Avenger Captain America: Civil War Batman Begins Avengers Avengers: Endgame The Dark Knight The Top 3 are pretty set in stone. The rest don't have a solid order. I really didn't get much into comic book movies until the Nolan Batman trilogy and the MCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I watched it again, I may feel The Incredibles is high up there, but I don't know if I have the same opinion of it as others did (for years, I know many on IGN considered it to be Pixar's best film). While I enjoyed the MCU Spider-Man films, particularly Spider-Man, I'm not as in love with MCU as plenty of others from the ones I've seen. However, I have heard Winter Soldier is one people recommend to people who aren't 100% sold on MCU's style/atmosphere. I'm sure one day I'll just sub Disney+ and give it a watch. Having rewatched the entirety of TDK trilogy, I feel at least TDK and TDKR would probably be up there for me, the latter feeling even more relevant a decade later.

Oh, I figured you'd seen most of the MCU stuff. Definitely watch Winter Soldier, it's fantastic. I kinda wanted to add it to my list, but I just really loved the feel of First Avenger more. The Nolan trilogy will always be my favorite. But Batman was always the superhero I loved since I was a kid, even though I've never been much into reading comics.

Bloodporne Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I have to admit I really only like Batman Returns and The Dark Knight that I can think of. I was never a comic book reader and the absolute fascination with anything superheros, in the past few years especially, totally eludes me. Somehow those screenshots up there already bore me.

Iculus Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The only one that I'm sure won't show up on anyone else's list is Superman 3. It's the first movie I had on VHS, and I absolutely murdered it as a kid. I haven't seen it in 30+ years, and have no plans to revisit it, but the pure nostalgia is inescapable for me.

best3444 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'll list my top 5: Superman (1978) Spiderman 2 (2004) Superman 2 (1981) Dark Knight (2008) Batman (1989) Honorable mention: Wonder Woman (2017) I liked it so much I saw it twice in the theater.

Kal-El814 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Hmm. I’m sure this list changes all the time. And in no particular order... Blade II Spider-Man 2 Captain America: The Winter Soldier Superman (1978) Hellboy II: The Golden Army Thor: Ragnarok The Dark Knight or Batman Begins (I waffle too much to pick one) Logan Black Panther And obviously the best superhero movie of all time... Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse I might punt the Nolan Batflicks in favor of The Incredibles depending on my mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 A little while ago, my 12 year old niece, who has never really shown any interest in superhero movies, asked to watch Into the Spiderverse. When I was watching it with her family, it really struck me just how much of a miracle that movie is. It should be an impenetrable mess for everyone who isn't deeply invested in comics lore, but it isn't. It just works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MCU has a lot of winks and nods to the source material which works fine as Easter eggs for comics fans. Spider-Verse is like that for almost 100% of its runtime and it all works better than those individual bits in the MCU, it’s incredible.

Nokt Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'm not huge on superhero movies, especially Marvel. So I don't really have a top 10. Batman Begins The Dark Knight The Dark Knight Rises (easily the weakest in this list) Logan Watchmen Constantine Do these count as superhero movies? Split TMNT (1990) Scott Pilgrim Marvel Movies I wouldn't mind watching again Winter Soldier Civil War Ragnarok Doctor Strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I love how different everyone's list is. I think it is great to have so many different opinions represented. I'm not sure what my total top 10 would be but it would for sure include Superman 2 TMNT 90's original The Crow Road to Perdition X-Men (the first one - I know it does not hold up but I loved Wolverine as a kid and this was the first glimpse of him live action) Avengers Endgame Not sure of the rest for now.

Fizzzzle Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I never think of Blade as a superhero movie, though I guess they are. I don't think any would make it in my top 10, but I honestly have a soft spot for Blade: Trinity, mostly because of Ryan Reynolds In no particular order: Guardians of the Galaxy The Avengers Black Panther Wonder Woman Captain America: The First Avenger Captain America: Civil War Batman Begins Thor: The Dark World Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse Deadpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
