Let's talk Superhero Movies


Ranking the Top 10 Superhero Flicks-

  1. Spiderman 1- Took the genre to the next level. Still the best. Although I'm still on the fence with Maguire, Willem Dafoe was the perfect casting as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin.


  2. Dark Knight- Bale and Freeman deliver, but Scary clown puts it over the top. I believe in Harvey Dent!


  3. Iron Man- This was really, really good. The Armour was wicked and Downey Jr. was very believeable as Stark. Ironmongers unite!


  4. Superman: The Movie (1978)- Some have this at #1. Can't blame them, watch this film again and realize how good it still is today.


  5. X-Men- A good intro. Well done all around...except Halle Berry as Storm. Sorry


  6. Spiderman 2- Strong follow-up to Spiderman 1. Very well done...but to reveal his identity to a train full of people? Nah...


  7. Batman Begins- Thank you for saving the franchise. Batman Forever and Batman & Robin were total embarrassments.


  8. Batman (1989)- Competent. But Keaton is not Bruce Wayne. Kim Basinger is simply not believeable. But Nicholson was ok as was the film overall. Big upgrade over Adam West and Burt Ward. Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?


  9. Superman II (1980)- Epic battle with General Zod. Very cool to see.


  10. The Incredible Hulk- Norton, Roth, and Hurt will the real stars of this one. I believed them as Banner, Blonsky, and Thunderbolt Ross. Although I understand the reason for the Stark/Avengers connection at the end of the film, it wasn't done well. The General is going to go drinking at a local bar and Tony Stark walks in? C'mon!

Da Rhino watches movies too. OUT
