I'm provisionally going with Superman for now.

Daredevil, that movie was Awesome.

OK Maybe not. I am more partial to the Batman franchise myself. The first one with Michael Keaton and this last one were pretty good, I think the first one was my favorite though, Jack Nicholson was a an excellent Joker IMO. Although X-Men and Spiderman were pretty close.

BTW I did like the first Superman with Christopher Reeve but this last one was not so good.

So my final answer Batman.

Bale is one of my favourite actors. But I, being the Aussie I am, will pick Hulk.

Or Bond.

Sin City hands down. The visual styling and the converging plots were just pure genius. Frank Miller is truly an artist!

I also really loved Batman Begins, I think it really held to the comics very closely and the plot was just great. It was much more realistic than the corny old ones. Plus the very last scene just made the movie for me.

Spiderman pisses me off with all the patriotic crap (American flags everywhere, blah), the excess and extremely blatant Christ imagery (seriously, how many times to they have to show spidey with his arms spread out), and then the 'moral' being pounded over and over. They really just seem to be catering to the base American consumer which I find to be fairly sad but apparently it works with the largest opening weekend of any movie EVER. There are also so many deviances from the comics it kind of ruins the illusion for me.

The newest Superman was blah. Hardly any action and pretty stiff acting. The old ones were a lot better I thought.

Fantasic Four was a joke, I can't believe they are even making a second one. I hope it bombs!

I thought the Hulk was pretty bad. I used to watch the TV show a lot as reruns on the sci-fi channel when I was a little kid so the movie was just too much of a stretch from what I expected.

My dream movie would be a live action Super Friends with an unlimited budget. That would be heaven!

Really? I never watched the tv series. But I thought the movie was pretty close to the comics, where I think it worked best.

I guess nobody thinks of the bond books as comics like I do.

But I actually must backflip and go with Sin City, that movie was awesome in ways I choose not to describe.

Oh, that's the one I meant. I had forgotten they remade it.

Actually, one of my favorite things about it is the brilliant casting. Putting a fresh face in the lead and surrounding him with big names was both bold and effective. You just don't see movies like that any more. Hell, they had Marlon Brando for a supporting roll.

I think the Spiderman movies have been pretty kick ass.

The second one is probably my favorite of the three, though.

Also, the X-men movies were good too, the third one was pretty sick, but the first one was my favorite.

Batman Begins FTW.

Batman. (Jack Nicholson tips the balance for me.) Fun movie.

Man On The Moon

Batman, the first one, because I was a kid when it came out and still liked that kind of stuff.
