Title: Rate the DC movies Post by: Perry on March 26, 2015, 09:09:06 PM Now, just like we did with the Marvel movies (with Blade), we are starting this list with the first good movie based on the DC universe. Yes, the list should start with the Batman movie, the one based on the tv show (not that it was bad, but it is not what I would call a movie as much as an extended TV episode), but we are going to start with Superman, the first true DC based movie.
Also note that the Donner edition of Superman 2 counts as Superman 2, pick whichever one you want, but don't use both. ;) Crap ... dinner is ready. I be back to finish putting mine in order (I got the last ones almost set ;D). But go ahead if I'm not back yet. And let me know if I missed any (we are not doing animated) 01 - The Dark Knight 02 - Batman Begins 03 - Superman 04 - Batman 05 - Man of Steel 06 - Superman II (Donner cut) 07 - Batman Returns 08 - The Dark Knight Rises 09 - Superman Returns 10 - Batman Forever 11 - Watchmen 12 - Superman III 13 - Batman & Robin 14 - Green Lantern 15 - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace 16 - Swamp Thing 17 - Supergirl 18 - Steel 19 - The Return of Swamp Thing 20 - Jonah Hex 21 - Catwoman Catwoman ... yeah ... ::) Title: Re: Rate the DC movies Post by: Jimmy T on March 27, 2015, 02:40:55 AM I added V for Vendetta into this. I figured, why not?

To be honest, after my 12th pick, I'll NEVER rewatch any of those choices again. The last time I watched the Watchmen, it was ponderously slow and rather poor in my reviewing as well. That's a once only in a very long, long while. Title: Re: Rate the DC movies Post by: Perry on March 27, 2015, 02:14:37 PM My only regret, and the one we have the biggest difference of opinion on, is that I could not move Batman and Robin down any further on my list.
:D I am glad you were able to do so ;) Title: Re: Rate the DC movies Post by: Jimmy T on March 27, 2015, 02:34:30 PM My only regret, and the one we have the biggest difference of opinion on, is that I could not move Batman and Robin down any further on my list. :D I am glad you were able to do so ;) lol yeah...somehow I came across this movie on vh1 or something at 11 at night. It stayed on (I was essentially almost asleep at that point), and while Steel and Supergirl are terrible movies; terrible movies just bad poorly and with little thought, B & R is flat out insulting, disgusting, and shameful. It's meant to be hid. I had to put it above Jonah Hex and Catwoman because I was never able to finish all of one (Hex) or even start one due to reading the plot (Catwoman-evil cosmetics mogul makes killing/mind control lipstick or some shit?!?!) Now, this list of DC comics movies is pathetic. Apathetic. Weak. Awful. Terrible. The fact you really only want to watch the top 6-9 of this list is sad. HOWEVER; let it be made realized that Iron Man was 2008. This has been a GREAT 6 years of comic movies by Marvel! What could this list be from 2016-2022 for DC movies? I hope. I just really really hope. Title: Re: Rate the DC movies Post by: Perry on March 27, 2015, 07:20:28 PM Oh absolutely.
But I still have DC older animation movies if I want a good DC movie ;) Most of those are just enjoyable as hell while Marvel's have always been just crap. But yes, Marvel got the jump on DC movie wise, but I certainly want DC to shine in the future.

I just rewatched some months ago that short stories one; the dvd that had a Green Arrow airport rescue, the Spectre, Black Adam and Superman...what a cool video that was!! Hmm...I may go pull out that Superman/Supergirl rescue one. I kinda dug that. Batman versus Red Hood..., Nathon Fillion Green Lantern one....I LOVE that Wonder Woman based off of Perez's post Crisis work too! |
