Some Of My Favorite Comic Book Movies

Guys and girls it seems like forever that we have been getting comic book movies regardless if they were good or not and now it seems like there's one released every five minuets and since others have done something like this in the past i'm going to list of some of my favorite comic book movies so let's go and just to set some ground rules i'm only listing of films that got a wide theatrical release.

Batman 1966

I'm going to warn you all right now there might be alot of Batman in this post this film is featured here because it was one of the first Batman films I saw heck I even now own the DVD it also helps the chemistry between the late Adam West and Burt Ward is really great this version of the character is one that you cannot take seriously and I like that.

The Entire Blade Trilogy

You might as well include all three films here since all of them are pretty much the same but without this film comic book films wouldn't be taken as seriously today since back when the first Blade came out they were still seen as campy films this film stood up and told people that you can make a serious comic book movie and it can be successful.

Batman Begins

This film single handily saved the Batman film franchise is it perfect heck no but it's a good start to a great trilogy of films and it proved that Batman can survive on the big screen all he needs is the right creative team to make it so and Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer have proven themselves to be a great creative team.

Guardians Of The Galaxy

The best word I can use to describe this film is fun this film is fun from start to finish and part of that is due to the great writing from James Gunn and no i'm not going to mention the fact that he was fired by Disney for jokes that even he himself said were done in bad taste and was ashamed of. This film for me is one of if not the best film in the MCU and yes that means it's better then both Ant-Man and Ant-Man And The Wasp.

Wonder Woman

There are no words to describe how good this film is this film had such an uphill struggle it was being released after the dreadful Dawn Of Justice and it was being set in the still very shaky DCEU and so far this is the best film in that universe it is everything you want in a Wonder Woman movie and then some and i;m glad that the same people who worked on this movie are currently working on the sequel.

Logan

This film is to date one of the few superhero films that have made me cry the other one might be showing up on this list but if not just look at the title and you'll see why. Again like Wonder Woman this film had an uphill struggle because while the X-Men films have been fairly solid the Wolverine films have been pretty bad so imagine everyone's shock when this one comes out not only blows the other two out of the water but is also a fitting tribute to the character.

The Dark Knight

Going into this list I knew that there would be a few films that would have to be included and this is certainly one of them so you die hard fans can out down your touches and pitchforks. All I can say is believe the hype about this film because it really is good it's not the best representation of Batman ut there indeed my next DC entry has that title but it has a great story mixed in with great acting and action sequences.

The Avengers Franchise

Again this is one of those film that I knew would have to make an appearance on here and there really is nothing more I can say about the film that really hasn't been said it truly does earn all of the praise that it got and like the rest of you i'm not only excited for Captain Marvel but also for Avengers 4.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

 

This is to date the only Batman animated feature to get a theatrical release and it's also the film that best represents the character and honestly it's shocking that we are only now getting a blu-ray release for this film heck if I were to rank all of the films that have featured Batman this film would go right in at number 1.

Deadpool

I don't know about everyone else but I prefer this film over the second one which while not bad it didn't feel as fresh as this one was this film proved to people that an R rated comic book film could not only work but could also make a lot of money and like Mask Of The Phantasm this is the best representation of Deadpool as a character.

Superman 1978

This film right here is the best comic book movie ever made hands down not only did it get the character of Superman down perfectly it also proved to studios that comic book characters can indeed work on the big screen and while yes by today's standards the film might seem slower that doesn't make it a bad film because it takes it's time to develop it's characters and to develop it's story both of which are important when your making a film and yes this means it's better then The Dark Knight in my eyes.

My Top 5 Best Films Of 2017

Welcome back movie fans to my top 5 best films of the year and to be frank it's been a pretty mixed year for films so making this list really hasn't been easy especially deciding which one should be number 1 and which number 2 because there both so good so here we go.

5) The Disaster Artist

I've only just recently reviewed this movie so i won't go into to much detail here but i will say that you should believe the hype surrounding this movie it's that good it's such a funny film that packs in alot of heart.

4) Power Rangers

I may be one of the few people who actually enjoyed the Power Rangers reboot since i grew up with the original 90's show for me it was full of nostalgia and if you watched the original series you'd get alot of the in jokes and references plus it was just a pure fun movie to watch.

3) War For The Planet Of The Apes

Oh my god this film is just so amazing it's the perfect end to the perfect trilogy this film was actually one of the films that made me cry (coco was the other one btw) everything in this movie is done so well i cannot say enough great things about this movie because everything i could say has already been said by far more better people then me.

2) Logan / Wonder Woman

This really was a pretty great year for superhero movies and for me the best two superhero movies were Logan and Wonder Woman as they both blew away people's expectations until Logan came around the wolverine movies weren't that good and until Wonder Woman came around the DCEU was struggling. They were also full of memorable scenes who can forget the awesome no man's land scene in Wonder Woman or the heart breaking third act or any scene with X-23 in Logan.

  1) Dunkirk

I had a tough choice to make do i put Dunkirk at number 1 or do i put either Logan or Wonder Woman and i went with Dunkirk because this was an all round great film and it doesn't shy away from telling you how these characters really would have felt for me this movie wasn't about the big action sequences it was about the people in them and that's why this movie is number 1.
