Another worst comic book movie list

I disagree with Elektra. As an adaption, it's pretty poor as it's really not very much like the comic Elektra at all. As a movie, it's entertaining, has decent action and visuals, menacing villains and doesn't outstay it's welcome. It's certainly more watchable than Daredevil.

Roger Corman's FF I have only seen parts of.

Steel is lame, despite being directed by the man behind the Bill Bixy/Lou Ferringo Hulk show.

The Thomas Jane Punisher is a reasonable movie, no reason to be on the list. Again, not exactly capturing the source material, but certainly the best Punsiher movie.

Never seen Man-Thing.

Captain America is very weak indeed. Most of the time it's not even a superhero movie, it's a straight-to-video routine action movie with z-list actors running around scenic Europe. Two highlights - Scott Paulin is great as The Red Skull, and Cap's first battle with him in a Nazi bunker. Actually the action is edited very well throughout. The fight scenes do actually go someway to capturing the energy of Kirby. Seriously. Can't say that about many movies.

Catwoman. It staggers me this was even made. Warner Bros had seemingly learned their lesson after Batman & Robin. Then they just did it again. Same thing happened. If you want a good Catwoman movie, watch Batman Returns.

Never seen Howard the Duck.

Superman IV is just an embarassment.

And of course Batman & Robin. It's not actually badly made technically - the pacing and plotting is far better than in the Burton movies, and the cinematography is wonderful. What's bad is the artistic choices Shcumacher and co made. But you already know that. I'd rather watch this than Superman IV though.
 
The list is basically accurate. I think Roger Corman's fantastic four the intention was to be bad and it can hardly be graded. I liked the Punisher but Ray Stevenson was much better in the role. I did at one time like Howard the Duck but I was alot younger. Elecktra could be considered decent by some but I hated it .
 
I'll disagree with the Punisher '04 movie being on that list. It's by no means a perfect movie, but had enough merit to keep it off of that list. One of the other two Punisher movies should have been in it's place.

Agreed. And full credit to the '04 Punisher for not simply being an action movie, but really trying to show the character of a broken man.

I don't think highly of the 04 Punisher, but you're right. I think it could have been replaced with Batman Forever. That movie is just as bad as Batman and Robin IMO. The difference to me is that I can laugh at Batman & Robin, but Forever just makes me want to kill myself for even watching.
 
I agree with everything except Elektra and the Punisher
 
Elektra should be on every worst comic book movie list along with Halle Berry's Catwoman.
 
At fiorst i thought he was talking about Story's Fantastic Four. And I was agreeing with that.

Agreed. & I think they should take Punisher off & put X3 or Supes Returns(aka "Watch me lift weights") on.

Nah, X3 is more middling than terrible. Terrible would be X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
 
X-men Origins Wolverine was waaaaaaay better than X3 for me.

And if Elecktra is on that list, Punisher shouldnt be there.

I disagree with that. I think Batman Forever really isn't that bad at all. It has some very cringe-worthy parts to be sure, but it has some very good parts as well.

I think one of the other Punisher's were much worse then Forever, or Tank Girl, or Supergirl, or Son of the Mask, or The Crow: Wicked Prayer...ect. ect.

BF does not deserve to be on the top ten worst when there are so many more deserving candidates.
 
I agree with all on that expect Punisher. Man-thing was worst of all. why? Cayse you
get to the creature at the very end
and that is very boring for a comic book movie. B&R was bad caue the screw up the history of a good character of Batgirl. Pleas his neice?! Catwoman is the same. no ties with batman ever and not the right alter ego too. Come on! Same As Steel.

Now Captain America and FF was bad cause of the fx and bad acting but they tried.

.
Agreed. I've thought this for a while ,but never said anything. I really dont think its THAT terrible of a movie. It is entertaining. Is it the Elektra we know and love? No. But it is still an entertaining movie.
 
I agree with the list with the sole exception of 2004's Punisher. That film at least had some good moments. Supergirl should take it's place on that list.
 
I think Supergirl had its moments. Its no where near Superman, but there were some alright parts.
