Greatest Superhero Movies of All Time

[Bookworm616]

I actually liked Elektra then again I was judging it against Daredevil it could only go up from there lol

Daredevil, whilst didn't get GREAT reviews, fared far better than Elektra on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes:

I saw Daredevil, but I never saw Elektra.

DD was terrible.

Damn I actually liked the storyline better and the fight scenes.

Art is very subjective, so if you liked it better, more power to you. :smt023

Agreed. Jennifer Garner's Elektra was all pouty lips and sex appeal. I imagine her to be like a more sophisticated version of Michelle Rodriguez. Project menace, but the intelligent way, not brutishly.

I Wonder if Michelle would have good chemistry with Hope Solo. If so that would make a hell of a ménage.

I couldn't agree more. His portrayal was like his role in The Soloist, only slightly less mentally ill.

I haven't seen the Soloist yet but I kind of want to watch it now. But nothing about his character worked for me. Foxx is a damn good actor but I rearlly couldn't tell what his character was about. It felt shoehorned in.

If no one's seen it yet, the Daredevil show on Netflix is leaps and bounds better than the movie. They really get the atmosphere and everything else right.

I agree. It was almost as if his agent just worked him in somewhere because he likes Spider-Man comics. Did not feel right at all.

They're equally aggro and would probably end up in fisticuffs.

With the more recent movies featuring very strong female protagonists, the trend of bringing in more female leads is pretty much expected. Between Ms. Marvel (Captain Marvel) and the future Wonder Woman movie, along side DC bringing in Supergirl and and giving Hawkgirl their own TV shows. But, DC tried this back then with Birds of Prey, while they were still experimenting with bringing superhero shows in the live action motif, alongside the success of Smallville at the time.

I do have high hopes for the Wonder Woman movie, and while I still have reservations on the actress, I think she could pull it off. But the first movie is suppose to be set in the 1920s and they are going to explore some common themes pertaining to women, especially during that time.

I am also looking forward to the WW movie.

They need to reboot Elektra with a woman who projects danger and intimidation playing a female ninja/assassin.

In the comic books she was the most badass chick in the game for a while.

...

I forgot about Elektra. I never saw her in Comic book form, how cool. Could so get into her as badass ninja-esque in movie form.

LOL! It can't be THAT bad, can it??

Only good thing I can say about Spider-Man 3 is it's a cinematic masterpiece when compared to the two Amazing Spider-Man movies.


And the only good thing I can say about those two movies is Andrew Garfield at least was a bit more natural at the wise cracking side of Spider-Man than Tobey Maguire. Too bad he carried it over to Peter as well and he was a little too smart alecky.

I must be the only person on the planet that liked The Amazing Spider-Man. The second movie had a lot of problems but the first one was pretty damn good. Garfield and Emma Watson had way better chemistry than Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.

Very true. She was a poor choice for Mary Jane

There were a few elements that I liked compared to the Raimi Spider-Man movies but overall both movies didn't have the same feel that said Spider-Man when you watch them IMO. You got the essence of Spider-Man with the Raimi movies, even Spider-Man 3, just didn't get that at all with the reboot movies.

That role didn't fit her at all. I grew up reading the comics off and on the casting of her was just...off.

My only real problem with him is that he's too much of a pretty boy to be an accurate Peter Parker. Peter Parker is a science nerd and that's hard to pull off when you look like a male model. With the glasses on Maguire looks like a nerd lol.

This. As I said Garfield was a bit to smart alecky as Peter Parker for me. Maguire had more of that awkward nerd vibe to his Peter Parker that felt more like the comics.

I liked Andrew Garfield in The Social Network, but the part in bold was something that stuck out to me, too. I only watched the first movie, but I didn't care for it, so I didn't bother with the second movie, especially after reading the reviews.

Fam, Daredevil wasn't that bad. It was at least watchable. It good have been good with some tweaking. It gets a worse rap than it deserves.

Elektra? It start out fair and went downhill from there.

This. As I said Garfield was a bit to smart alecky as Peter Parker for me. Maguire had more of that awkward nerd vibe to his Peter Parker that felt more like the comics.

But, that's actually how Spider-Man is. He cracks jokes while whipping ass. I thought Garfield was a good deal better than McGuire. He fit the role physically a lot better, too.

Anyway, my all time favorite superhero movies are as follows:
1. The Dark Knight / Superman 2 (allowing for the era it was made in)
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Kick-Ass
4. Unbreakable
5. Iron Man

And I'll throw in Xmen: Days Of Future Past in there as an honorable mention. It was good. Just not surprisingly so.

If they can find an actor that can pull off the best of both worlds, they'd be in business. Maybe they can find someone for the next reboot.

It had a good core and a lot of potential but it felt kind of rushed in parts. You didn't miss much by skipping it.

Toby did a good job of it. I also liked the old spiderman cartoon. It was great. It was almost as though toby read the comics and watch the cartoon to get it.
