Best period piece comic book movie

[DACrowe]

Just realized this thread needs The Rocketeer. That movie is delightful.

Of the ones listed, I'd say Captain America: The First Avenger. But The Rocketeer, directed by the same director, is also brilliant.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past
2. Watchmen
3. Captain America: The First Avenger

 

[Mandon Knight]

From the poll choices, Watchmen, overall, The Incredibles.

 

[I Am The Knight]

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past
2. Watchmen
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The Winter Soldier was definitely a very accurate representation of 2014

Whoops. Edited - meant to write The First Avenger.

Also, if one wants to get technical, a film like Days of Future Past does take place in the same historical period as we're living in now.

I still say Captain America: TFA is the best period film and origin film. It's criminally underrated.

This!

Give it up for the star spangled man
