I realize it's totally pointless to argue with somebody else's top ten list, because opinions never match! But man, I have serious issues with io9's list of the top 10 best comic book movies of all time. To save you from clicking over if you don't want to, I'll give you the short version:
10. Superman: The Movie
9. X2: X-Men United
8. Hellboy
7. Spider-Man 2
6. Scott Pilgrim
5. Persepolis
4. Iron Man
3. Akira
2. The Avengers
1. The Dark Knight
Now, first off, I haven't seen two of the movies on this list (Persepolis and The Avengers), so obviously they get a pass. But I've never been all that impressed with the first Superman; Superman II I've always enjoyed a lot more, even if it is a ridiculous film. I have similar feelings about the next three movies on the list. The X-Men movies are pretty good, but X2 is probably my least favorite of them. And Hellboy 2 is definitely way better than the original Hellboy. Of the Spider-Man movies, 2 is maybe the best one, but that's like picking your favorite cancer. Those movies suck, dude. They are made of cheese.
The rest of the movies I can't really argue with. Scott Pilgrim, Iron Man, Akira, The Dark Knight - all great, great movies. But if you're going to include Akira, I feel like you have to take into account movies like Ghost in the Shell, the Lone Wolf and Cub movies, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It sounds like they left off Batman Begins for the sake of variety, but... dude. Batman Begins! And then what about Captain America: The First Avenger?! Thor? Constantine? The Incredible Hulk? Justice League: The New Frontier? Men in Black! Road to Perdition!
I think my list looks like this:
10. Men in Black
9. Captain America: The First Avenger
8. Constantine
7. Akira
6. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
5. Thor
4. Batman Begins
3. Iron Man
2. Road to Perdition
1. The Dark Knight
I wish I could have fit Shogun Assassin and New Frontier in there, but there wasn't quite enough room.
What does your list look like? Are you enraged by mine like I was enraged by io9's? |
