Marvel Movie Rampage

A system of cells interlinked

12-21-04

I like many of the Marvel films, but a couple of them are almost unwatchable to me.

I'll rate them in the order I like them in:

X2
Spider Man II
X-men
Spider Man
Blade
Blade II
The Hulk
Daredevil

I haven't seen The Punisher or Blade:Trinity yet.

I find The Hulk and Daredevil to be almost unwatchable, and am currently looking to sell my DD DVD, which I bought without having seen the film. Affleck just ruined the character for me. The Hulk is one of the worst films I have ever seen, and I wanted to bite through the big cable at the end of the film, just to end my pain. Bana was nauseating. I put it above Daredevil for 2 reasons, it has J COnnelly in it, and it doesn't have Ben Affleck in it.

I will do a marathon with the films I like soon though, sounds fun!

I don't love Marvel films, but I do like 'um (well, some of 'um). This is how I would rank and rate them...

1. Spider-Man 2
EIGHT out of Ten

2. Blade
SEVEN out of TEN

3. X2
SEVEN out of TEN

4. Spider-Man
SEVEN out of TEN

5. Hulk
SIX out of TEN

6. X-Men
FIVE out of TEN

7. Blade II
THREE out of TEN

8. Daredevil
THREE out of TEN

If I ever sat through a "Marvel Movie Rampage", I'd start at 6 and work my way up. I'd miss out 7 and 8.

Here's my Marvel Movie Rampage order (In no specific order, if that makes any sense)

Spider-Man - a good movie that's fun to watch
Spider-Man 2 - not often a superior sequel comes around
X-Men - not as good as I would have hoped
X-Men 2 - another superior sequel
Blade - A dark marvel movie
Blade 2 - a superior sequel, with more action and better storyline
Blade: Trinity - not as good as the previous 2, but still worth a watch
The Punisher - A fun movie as long as you don't want to see a serious movie

Blade Trinity- OK
Blade II-Good
Blade-Great
Punisher- OMG!!!!! it totally blew my mind how a great film of such mediocre
origins can hold my attention till the end of the credits. (ok, I'm done)
Hulk- T'was riviting.
Xmen-

X2- Alittle better.
Spider-Man- The best
Spider-Man 2-The second best.
Daredevil-Sucked

The Taxi Driver

Yeah I'm fly

my order

X2: the best super hero film IMO
spiderman 2: just straight up better than the first which is rarely true.
X-men: they have always been my favorite comic books and the movie lived up to the name
spiderman: this movie really captured the story line and is really fun to watch.
The Hulk: didnt like very bad
Daredevil: hated it more than the hulk. Affleck was horrible.

didnt see any of the blades or the Punisher

True comic fans can relate to this:

The Spiderman movies were great fun---B's across the board

The Punisher was a bit average--- C+

The Hulk......Well the parts with the CGI Hulk were not bad , but overall a bit tedious to watch---C-

Daredevil...........the only thing not moving it into an all out "F" category was Bullseye, I liked this character---D

X-Men 1 & 2... Great movies, the best comic book adaptations I heave ever seen---A

Come on, Kingpin was badass too! I agree though, the rest of the film was rubbish.

As for the marvel movies, I've just never really gotten into them for some reason. I enjoyed the Spider-Man and X-Men series but not nearly as much as most people seem to. In fact, I probably enjoyed The Punisher (the latest version) just as much as either X-Men flick. The Hulk had some potential and didn't start out to bad, but it ran too long and got waaaay to weird for me at the end. The Blade series was also entertaining, but is becoming less so every time I see them. I'm not sure if it's me 'growing up' or the films growing old.

Is it b/c I'm new, or is soulsolid just about impossible to understand?

I find if I read the post very slowly multiple times I can usually venture a guess at what he's saying... Just please tell me I'm not alone!

I think the first two Blade movies have been the best of the Marvel adaptations so far...

I would like to see Deadpool and Venom movies if they are handled well...

I understand him just fine...though I'm not a protocol droid to translate.

Throw on an ol' skool hip hop beat in the background next time you try to read soulsolid...that way the words might flow in like warm butter.

What's up feral...

I completely agree.

I have to disagree here. As far as MARVEL movies go, I'd say Spiderman was better (it just felt more like the source material, and much less generic). But if we're talking about all comic book adaptations, then Road to Perdition is, by far, the best one yet.

Venom would need his own movie...instead of sticking him in as a villain on a Spiderman title.

The Spiderman movies were great also, and if he happened to be my fav comic character I may have swayed more that way. But thanks for thoughts. I Have not read Road to Perdition, but have seen the movie, good stuff.
