1-Superman 2 - Everyone underestimates this movie, the fight sequence in the city is unlike anything ever seen before or since!
2-Batman (89'Burton) Nicholson was genuis! This is the bar for all future comic movies as I see it. To me, superhero movies, you HAVE to have a villan thats as bad as your hero is good or you got nothing.
3-Superman The Movie - This movie's luthor was more menacing than Returns luthor because they did kill a cop in this movie.
4-Conan The Barbarian
5-Conan The Destroyer
6-Batman Returns - Michelle Phiffer was totally awesome(hot)! I hated the Penguin though but catwoman more than made up for it with perfect scenes/lines/portrayal
7-Spiderman - Awesome new franchise, seemed to take notes from Burtons Batman which is VERY good but villan was kinda weak, I was absolutely amazed how perfect they got spideys movements/mannerisms down perfectly
8-Spiderman 2 - Killer villan better than Green goblin but again weak villan writing/portrayal, if the spidey cartoon fight with doc oc has more fast paced action . . .
9-Batman Begins - The only thing I didnt like was the writing/portrayal of Ras an the fight sequences were too shaky
So again weak villan portrayal by Ras, Scarecrow was good though
10-X-men - Wolverine was awesome, but again another movie that suffered from weak villany
Honorable mention-Blade
If you have well known comic superhero's in a big time movie you have to have villans that will push those heros to their limits an beyond. The limits that have been established in those very comics or you're just not going to do it any justice!
Spiderman an BB both followed the comics material to gold, HFS!
Why didnt superman returns?
