Top 5 Comic Movies
Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 01:27AM With the Thor movie coming out soon I thought I would put up a Top 5 of the best Comic Movies.
5. Judge Dreed
Don’t Judge (bad joke I know). I love this movie. I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic movies. I didn’t even know it was a comic when it came out. I just thought it was awesome. Yes I have seen it recently and yes it does not hold up well. It's like a guilty pleasure that I indulge every once in awhile. “I am the LAW!”
4. Superman
Simple, I believed a man could fly.
3. Mystery Men
Wow, this movie was funny as all get out. It was a perfect blend of misfits, goofballs, and wannabe heroes that end up saving the world. It was just fun and I enjoyed every moment of it. If you have not seen this movie buy, rent, or netflix it now.
2. Iron Man
Two reasons this made the cut. One- it was a great movie, not just a great comic movie. It shot Iron Man to superstar hero and kids everywhere wanted to be Iron Man. It also paved the way for the other Marvel movies. Two- it got my wife into comics. Not hard core, but enough that she enjoys my hobby and understands it.
1. Spider-Man
No big surprise here. My favorite comic hero on the big screen was mind blowing. I lost count how many times I saw that movie in the theaters. I saw it three times in one day. The second one was also fantastic but it can't live up to the first time I saw Spidey swinging through New York.

Yeah, I consider Judge Dredd one of my guilty pleasures as well, and I agree that it doesn't exactly hold up over the years but there is good news... Judge Dredd 2 is coming!
A few pieces of trivia:
I believe Mystery Men was based on a strip in Penthouse Comixxx, believe it or not. I know for a fact that there was a Casanova Frankenstein character in that book although he was actually an effeminate, stitched together type of dude.
I've just Wiki'd my info and it turns out that Mystery Men was a Dark Horse book.
There still was a Casanova Frankenstein in Penthouse Comixxx, tho.
