Dark Knight is by leaps and bounds the best film to feature a superhero. To be fair though, that doesn't mean that most of the X-Men, Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, and Avengers films are inferior. (please note the word "most") It's just that Dark Knight had that extra something to push it past the superhero subgenre and into the realm of critically and publically praised films.

God the watchmen was a steaming pile! How on earth do you change the ending of a f*****g comic and think its going to be ok....





As for best movie, I think X-men: First class was very well executed.

The change of ending actually strengthened the story quite a bit thematically.



Now, you're making sense.

No it did not, It in-fact made it lose all philosophical backing.... By framing Dr. Manhattan the character dynamic between Ozzy and john is changed. Now instead of being as a pure utilitarian ozzy dives into ethical egotism (the comedians role). This also puts a damper on Sally's position (feminist theory) in that she should feel obligated to expose the wrong done to a close member of her "tribe". Moreover Johns decision to leave seems forced as a result Viets actions, not as a choice of his own free will (a direct contrast to the book were he bucks his Determinist views)...

Those are the ones that come to mind. I like Watchmen as well. Its a deeply flawed movie but I love Jackie Earle Haley's portrayal of Rorschach so much that I've watched the movie 3 or 4 times just for that.

I can see you're a bit of a Batman fanatic. Can't really blame you pal. Bats rules.

Did you just suggest X-Men 3? Not only that, but you say X-Men 3, while not the previous two. I am just.... I can't even describe what I want to say because I'm full of horror and disgust.

P.S. X-Men (2000) is the best, not because it was the best superhero movie, but because it's the one which kicked off the sudden superhero/comic book movie craze.
