I'm going to go with Iron Man on this one.
 
I'm gonna confine this to the actual "origin" movies in the poll, so no X2, Spider-Man 2, or Incredible Hulk.


Who was the best lead?
1. Iron Man - RDJ rules all
2. Thor - a truly amazing, heartbreaking, touching performance
3. Wolverine - one of the first great heroes of the superhero movie era

Who was the best lead villain?
1. Loki
2. Magneto
3. Bullseye

Who was the best love interest?
1. Pepper Potts
2. Jane Foster
3. Peggy Carter

Which costume was your favorite?
1. Captain America - so effing badass, and 100% real!
2. Iron Man - badass and cool, but mostly CGI
3. Spider-Man - looks good, faithful to the comics, very distinctive

Favorite battle?
1. Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin - Spidey takes a hell of a beating, even A GRENADE TO THE FACE!
2. Iron Man vs. Ten Rings - the ultimate revenge fantasy for a post-9/11 world
3. Wolverine vs. Mystique - her acrobatic grace and shapeshifting trickery vs. his animalistic brutality was awesome to watch

Favorite Stan Lee Cameo?
1. Hulk - cuz it was a double cameo with Lou Ferrigno XD
2. Iron Man - Hugh Hefner thing was great, made better with the Larry King version in the sequel
 
Iron Man, by far.

I prefer Spider-man's origin on the theory but in movies Iron Man has been the opnly one that had me really excited. Uncle Ben's death was rather insipid.

Now, I don't get how X-Men was exactly an "origin" movie. Magneto and Xavier (and mutants in general) were not just starting to exist. The story was already happening for quite some time.


Who was the best lead?
Iron Man and Wolverine.

Who was the best love interest?
Pepper Potts was the only one that had some interest.

Who was the best lead villain?
Magneto and only him.

Which costume was your favorite
All of them were excellent.

Favorite battle?
Thor and friends against the ice giants.

Favorite Stan Lee Cameo?
Thor. Maybe the only humour bit in the movie that was actually funny.

Thank you. To be honest, I dont know why people were bringing sequels and reboots into this, lol
 
I gotta go with Spider-man. Iron-man was great, but for different reasons. Spidey's origin was phenomenal and groundbreaking.

Groundbreaking, how?

You're talking Spider-man's origin or Spider-man movie's origin?
 
It was groundbreaking for Marvel. I liked Blade and the X-Men but they were too worried about being a "movie". Spidey felt like a "comic book" movie to me.

Best Origin: Iron Man

Who was the best lead? Chris Evans Captain America

Who was the best love interest? Natalie Portman in Thor

Who was the best lead villain? Willem Defo as Green Goblin

You never saw any comic book movie that felt like one before?
 
Best Lead: RDJ (Evans a close second)
Best Love Interest: Peggy Carter, by far
Best Lead Villian: Ian McKellan's Magneto
Favorite Costume: Captain America
Favorite Battle: Final Spider-Man V. Green Goblin battle
Favorite Stan Lee Cameo: Thor
 
I think Cap was the best origin movie. I think for the first hour or so it's one of the best origins in the entire genre. Not many movies capture the essence of the character as well as Cap's film did. And Evans gave the best performance of any of the Marvel leads.
 
Also, in your opinion:

Who was the best lead? RDJ/Tony Stark
Who was the best love interest? Peggy Carter
Who was the best lead villain? Loki
Which costume was your favorite? Iron Man
Favorite battle? Spidy vs Doc Ock on the train

Too bad Stan missed out on First Class. Imagine if he had done Wolverine's cameo?:oldrazz:
 
Best origin film: Iron Man.


Who was the best lead? RDJ, Hemworth & Evans are all pretty even in my opinion. None of the rest come close.

Who was the best love interest? Pepper Potts

Who was the best lead villain? Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger

Which costume was your favorite? Iron Man's Mark III armor

Favorite battle? End fight of Iron Man vs. Iron Monger

Thats why I feel X1 and Blade 1 get too much credit for the current comic boom.

Those movies, while based on comics, didnt feel or look like comic book movies. X-Men was sci fi, and Blade was horror.

Spider-Man felt like a comic book come to life in many ways. I mean, the comic movies after Spidey didnt follow the X-Men/Blade template of realistic tones and black outfits. They followed Spidey's
