It was that bad. It was almost as unbearable as Spid3rman. It was just another example of the absolute garbage that gets green lit by Hollywood executives today.

The 2 saving graces of Superman Returns were Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey.

haha...

Wow, Bo...

Usual Suspects is great, yes and maybe Xmen 1 & 2 are very good but that's all he has.

Nolan has not struck out once.

Memento
TDK
The Prestige
Batman Begins
Inception (Will be...)

Are all A+

While Following and Insomnia are still high B's or Low A's.

I enjoyed Following and Insomnia a hell of a lot more than Memento or Batman Begins.

I just started reading Shutter Island last night in anticipation for the movie.

Singer has House MD too, but I know that doesn't really count.

I'm just talking for Superhero movies. Singer has made 2 AMAZING ones, Nolan made one amazing one, and one I didn't care for at all. Also, Singer made Apt Pupil, which was just fucking awesome.

X2 was such a deeper movie than Dark Knight. I get where he was going with Returns, though it was incredibly botched. Mostly by having Spacey play the worst Lex Luther EVER.

They do rule, just not when used in excess...

I was hoping someone would get my joke. I was making a Simpsons reference and that's how Mo says the lines.

No way. DK is better than X1. X2 is better than both. X1 is better than Begins.

That's it, we are now broken up.

No. TDK > Batman Begins > X1 > X2

Not quite, but a little switch-a-roo would do it.

I didn't care for X2 as much as I did X1, unless you would put X1 ahead of Batman begins, because I could see a case for that.

X2 was a masterpiece of storytelling and arguably the greatest allegorical film about the outcasting of homosexuals ever.

Nah, X1 is the very definition of average.

I can agree with the second part of that statement to some extent, but I don't really agree with the first part.

Then how would you switch it around?

Switch X1 and X2. I could also see how someone might prefer X2 to Batman Begins.

Wrong on every level imaginable.

Maybe I need to give X2 another watch.

[ryangibson]

The last one we watched was Four Rooms. It was quirky, but good. Anything Quentin Tarantino takes part in is awesome.

Before that, I watched Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. I'm a big Guy Ritchie fan too, so this one was great.

[thebridge15]

As long as we're all in agreement that X-Men: The Last Stand was terrible, I think we'll be OK.

For post-2000 "Great" (Main) Superhero Movies...

Wolverine, Both Hulks, Daredevil, F4/F4 II, andSuperman Returns are utter trash
---------------------------

While Watchmen, Hellboy, Constatine, History of Violence, and Sin City are not ranked because they are not long standing comic series... (meaning over 40 years of issues and spawned off titles)

Other than than the 1978 Superman, what else is there for decent Superhero movies prior to 2000?

[AlpineValley804]

I've only watched X2 once all the way through (liked it too), then gave it a second watch and was bored immensely by it. Never sat through the whole thing a second time.
