Some Of My Favourite Animated Comic Book Films


DC and Marvel fans depending on where your currently seeing this post i've spent the past few days making posts about either company talking about both there film out put and there TV output. Both of those posts dealt with the live action side of things and well I thought lets not break the habit of a life time just yet except instead of talking about there live action stuff i'm only doing there animated movies and not all of the films included will be from either Marvel or DC.

Hellboy: Sword of Storms


This is one of two animated films to feature Hellboy and it's also the only one I own on DVD and the only one i've seen. I can't honestly say if this version of the character is close to the comic book version in anyway shape or form since my only exposure to the character is the movies but with the new movie now out I honestly think that this movie is better then the new movie just because it's at least trying.

Superman: Doomsday


While The Death Of Superman and Reign of the Supermen told this story better i'll always have a soft spot for Superman: Doomsday. This was the first animated superhero movie I bought and it kicked of my obsession with watching the latest DC Animated Movie so no matter if the other two told the story better i'm always going to come back to this one because of the fact that it has a special place in my heart.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns


I'm counting both films here because they tell one story so it wouldn't really make sense for me to include one film and not the other. Like the other two movies I actually do own both parts on DVD and I watch them both regularly again I can't say if this is  true to the comic book or not but as a movie the story works , it has great animation , great action and solid voice acting I will admit I would have preferred Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill but the Batman and Joker we did get were solid enough.

Ultimate Avengers


Just like i'll always have a soft spot for Superman: Doomsday there's a few animated marvel movies that i'll always have a soft spot for and this is one of them. This was the first movie that introduced me to the Avengers I had heard of these characters but I didn't know they also teamed up so for me seeing these characters together in an animated movie was just so cool. I also noticed that the live action Avengers movies borrowed some elements from the comic boom that this movie is based off which I thought was awesome.

The Invincible Iron Man


This is the other animated Marvel movie that I have a soft spot for because both this and Ultimate Avengers were the first animated Marvel movies I saw. I might not be able to tell you the year it was either before or just after the first live action Iron Man movie. I will say that plot wise there's alot of similarities between the two movies and while I did indeed own this and Ultimate Avengers I have since gave them away to charity.

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto

 

Not many people know of not only this movie but also the comic book and that's such a shame because there both balls to the wall insane. That's honestly the best way to describe both the movie and the comic book I will say that this movie is made exclusively for adults so don't go thinking that little kids will like this because they won't but if you like something that just pure insanity in cartoon form then this is for you.

Wonder Woman


People give alot of credit to the 2017 Wonder Woman movie for being the first good female lead but those people either forgot or straight up didn't know about this one. This film was good back when it came out and it's still good ten years later and out of all the movies to get a sequel this one should have been one of them because there's so many stories that could have been told and while we are getting a new Wonder Woman animated film this year we won't be getting sequel to this film.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies


This is the movie that none of us thought would be any good given the show that's spawned from but low and behold it was actually really funny. Seeing how good this movie was makes me wonder why the makers of the show don't put in the same amount of effort that they put into the movie because if they did the show would be ten times as good and would actually have a lot more fans then what it currently has.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse


Now then both this and the next film i'm going to talk about are very good films and it was honestly hard for me to choose which one to talk about first. I went with this one because it's the best Spider-Man film but it doesn't include who I think is the best Spider-Man Tom Holland this is honestly a super fun movie and is a love letter not just to Peter Parker but to all of the Spider-Men and that's not something that's been seen before now.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm


You all knew that this film was going to appear on here at some point i've expressed my love for it so many times now that it would be pointless for me to say why I love this film. For me this is a film that every Batman fan has to watch at some point in there lives regardless if they've seen the animated series or not in fact i'd go as far to say that in terms of quality it's the Avengers: Endgame of Animated DC movies and if you've seen Endgame then you'll know that's quite the statement to make.
