A X-Men 2 ; Superman II

B+ Daredevil ; Iron Man ; 300 ; Sin City

B Blade; X-Men3; V for Vendetta ; The Punisher (89); Hulk ; The Incredible Hulk(although i could edit together both of these and get a B+ Hulk movie)

How would you grade the recent strings of live action Superhero movies. over the last 10 years or so? (Lets throw the Superman & Batman Movies in there also) Lets rate it on pure enjoyment factor.

A: "Spider-Man", "Spider-Man 2", "Batman Begins", "The Dark Knight", "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk", "X2", "Daredevil: Director's Cut"

B: "Superman: The Movie", "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut", "Superman Returns", "Batman Forever", "Spider-Man 3", "X-Men", "X3", "Fantastic Four", "Transformers"

C: "Daredevil (Theatrical)", "Superman II (Theatrical)", "Hulk", "Batman & Robin", "Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer"

D: "Superman III", "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace", "Ghost Rider"

As films like "The Crow", "The Shadow", and "The Rocketeer" were made 15-20 years ago (and don't reference either Batman nor Superman), I left them off my list. For the record though, all 3 would land in the "B" category.

 

[Steve Rogers]

(A)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Daredevil: Director's Cut, Superman: The Movie

(B)Spider-Man 1,2,3 and X-Men 1,2,3, Superman II, Iron Man, Batman (Burton)

(C)Hulk (Ang Lee) Fantastic Four (2004), Superman III and IV, TMNT, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Batman Returns

(D) Batman and Robin, Batman Forever, The Incredible Hulk
