Poll: Best Modern Superhero Film

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Dark Man.

 

[Hatchet90]

Unbreakable is the greatest "modern" superhero movie.

 

[Leefank137]

I love the new realistic tone of the new Batman films, not to mention Christopher Nolan's directing style is one of my favorites. Iron man pulls up a close second but I gotta go with the new Batman movies.

 

[Turing]

Watchmen.
But seeing as thats not on the list, you crazy person, I'd have to go with The Incredibles

 

[Serenegoose]

The Watchmen - by far and away the Watchmen. And I'm not just saying that because I have a thing for Ozymandias. That's irrelevant.

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

Out of the list, it's going to have to be the dark knight.
I haven't seen Kickass yet (I have no idea why) but from the looks of it, it will definitly be my favorite when I actually see it.
I haven't seen Hellboy in a long time so that too might replace the Dark Knight at the top of the ranks.

 

[Mikeyfell]

Batman the Dark Night all the way.
I don't even like super hero movies and that was still one of the best movies I've ever seen

 

[Geekosaurus]

They're all good films, but you can't argue with The Dark Knight.

I can. I thought it was a B effort at best. The Joker had some good scenes but the rest of the movie sucked completely. I hate the reboot of the series just because I like Batman being a detective, not a hap-chance bitchy mcbitchpants with a sore throat.

I guess it might not be to everyone's taste, but it can't take away from the fact that it's had tonnes of critical acclaim.

Batman the Dark Night all the way.
I don't even like super hero movies and that was still one of the best movies I've ever seen

This is a very good point. I think the modern Batman films appeal to a wider audience, and for that reason they could be considered to be the 'best'.

Kick-Ass too me was just all around fan-fucking-tastic. Perhaps I was a little too young, but the X-men movies weren't all that great to me. And of course Nolan's Batman films are great.

 

[coleslawghter]

That's nice.

I'll be over there appreciating good film.

I would love for you to list some examples of "good" films.

Watchmen has more to say about humanity than 99.9% of the films out there.

Right... Saying something about humanity makes you a good film? Bill Hicks was a great film, then.

Good films:

Reservoir Dogs

Let the Right One In

Bambi

Do I taste a major dose of pretension in these comments? Yes, yes I do.

 

[zehydra]

Surprised Spiderman didn't make the list. Although, to be honest I really didn't care for it.

 

[cannot_aim]

Watchmen!

Dark Knight is a close second though.

 

[Xelt]

Constantine, what a great film, what great casting, Mr Reeves playing a cockney with a bit of scouse blonde haired left wing anarchistic magician who hates Maggie Thatcher. Setting it in America was another master stroke as was completely changing the back-story!

Didn't happen.
Didn't happen.
Didn't happen.
*rocks gently back and forth*

EDIT - cant believe i forgot Watchmen...

Good lord, how?! That awful sex scene is going to be burned into my memory for ever :-(

OT: Why is X-Men listed as a trilogy? There were only two films...

B...b..but theres 4 xmen films and another 2 planned!

 

[Kenbo Slice]

Kick Ass

 

[YazBar]

Watchmen

 

[Atmos Duality]

Tony Stark; playful, badass, humanly flawed.
Sorry Incredibles, but you were narrowly beat out by Robert Downey Jr.

Not as much substance as some others on that list in terms of story, but Robert Downey Jr. made those two movies amazingly fun to watch.

But Kick-Ass? Ugh. Not for me.
I have absolutely no idea why, but while I was watching Kick-Ass I was thinking "Why don't I just take this shit out and put in Kill Bill instead?"

At least the ending was cool...I guess.

 

[dragonslayer32]

I'd say either ghostrider, the Blade series, Fantastic 4 series or Daredevil. The only good ones on the list are the marvel ones, I hate the batman/superman movies, Kickass is more of a comedy about a lad who can't feel and the Incredibles should have been called the incredibly borings.
