No Right Answer: "Best" Superhero Movie Ever

[erbkaiser]

In a debate of Which is the least Terrible movie, Daredevil rightly won.
As others mentioned, especially in its Director's Cut the movie is pretty good to watch and Baffleck keeps it true to the character.

Spiderman 3 is Spiderman 3 and 4 stuffed in one movie because they knew they wouldn't get a fourth one, and suffers because they tried to put everything in. To this day I maintain that either Venom or the Sandman should not have been in this film, as it weakened the entire structure of it. It's easily the worst of the three Spiderman movies, and a far worse film than Daredevil.

you almost miss the quotation marks there. Of the two... Daredevil was better as a movie because it felt S3 was far to cluttered and they were trying to do too much with it with Symbiote, then Venom, then Sandman, then another green goblin, and that's just too much in one mvie. I mean the only guy who probably cant carry a full movie is Sandman out of those four. Maybe Symbiote too, but then you just throw in venom instead and maybe do a two fer with Carnage.

I'm going to throw my hat in for Green lantern as best because to me, the only real thing that was wrong with it was Reynolds is not a good Hal Jordan. He'd probably fair better as a Kyle Rayner (or at least a little better). That and they tacked on that bit with sinestro a bit needlessly and lead up to you feeling that they should have done it earlier int he film and had him be the main or just not at all.

I couldn't watch this because a minute in, some shitty advert for eye drops started talking to me. And it was underneath the content so I couldn't even shut it up without stopping the video.

I don't mind ads, I understand they pay for the site, but these ads with sound that have been cropping up on this site in recent months are way, way too intrusive.

I actually liked Spiderman 3 for the most part, it's a 3 hours movie that people condemn because of one 5 minute scene.

And even that scene isn't the travesty people make it out to be. Peter's an awkward geek pretending to be dark and cool, of course it's going to be silly and ridiculous.

Oh well, you'll never convince me it's worse than Daredevil.

Huh... were those sodas laced with hard alcohol or somethin? The guys seemed to be a little out of it after drinking them...

 

[gorfias]

Eh, to be fair, I don't hate either. I mean, Daredevil was not bad, the Director's Cut that is, pretty watchable, the actors are decent, the action is nice and stuff and Spider-Man 3... well, Sandman is cool, the action scenes are great as always and... to be fair, while I didn't like the dance scene, I didn't hate the whole "Peter Parker acting like douchebag while dressed in black" sequence. It was... kinda fun and the music I really dug. Of course the movie overdid drama and forever cemented Raimi Spider-Man films as full of wangst (something neither SM1 nor SM2 really suffered from that much), but nonetheless. Weakest Spider-Man movie? Yeah. Just plain bad? Nope.

Theres actually a lot to love in Spidey 3, especially douche Parker and the fights with Gobby Jr. What makes it painful to watch for me is, early on, Peter isn't a nerd. He's a dork, which is worse. He really blows it with MJ in a way he never did during part 1 and 2. He was a lovable nerd in those two movies, but when up to bat, always said the right thing. In 3? He's Donald Trump with no money. Painful.

So, fast forward to the action scenes. They often make little sense (Why is Sandman helping to kidnap an innocent girl and terrorize a town) but man are they fun to watch.

Not alcohol, but it's like drinking maple syrup, only instead of maple, it's blue and green. Hard to function after a whole bottle.

I understand where they were going with this, but X Men: First Class is the best super hero movie.

 

[Mahoshonen]

Explain to me why you abandoned this format?

And what about Pumaman?!?

 

[Morbira]

It's so great to see you guys bringing back the original concept! I'd honestly prefer it if you kept to it, at least for a while. It's refreshing to see a debate that doesn't give a shit. Also, I missed the Jones soda. Much longer rebuttals.

I felt that the animated TV series managed to create a more menacing, uncontrollably violent "Black" Spider Man than the film.

I agree. I remember the part when he literally smacks Rhino around like a ragdoll and almost kills him, but realizes what he was about to do. God, I miss that cartoon. The six arm episodes were pretty cool.

I like how they did it in Spectacular Spider-Man as well, even if it only continued the endless bashing of the Venom symbiote character.

I'd say that I like both Daredevil and Spider-Man 3, and they get far more flack than they deserve. Then again, I've liked pretty much every superhero movie that's come out since the first Raimi Spider-Man including Green Lantern, so take from that what you will.

For me it was The Amazing Bulk. A low budget parody SO bad that it was hilarious.


& the best Kung Fu flick I ever saw was about this guy with superhuman strength of 20 men.

 

[HellsingerAngel]

Glad to see you've returned to the original concept. I very much preferred it when this was the content you had. Also, the lack of Jones Soda certainly detracted from future episodes.

 

[Strazdas]

And here i thought they would pick spawn.....

Spiderman was always been crap. The whole premise of "i hit puberty way too late and now my body has mutated but im to pussy to admit it" deal never appeased me.

And what about Pumaman?!?

Or "Meteor Man" or "Super Fuzz"?

Not to mention legions of "superhero" movies made outside of the US. I tried to watch some Indian super heroine movie called "Shakira" or something like that on Netflix... I think I made it through the first episode. Pretty much nothing happened, and it was horribly put together and directed it seemed.

Of course there is my all time favorite trailer:

Truly what Spider Man 3 should have been.

The entire 30 some odd minute "movie" can also be found on Youtube. >
