Comic Book Action Movies

I love comic books, so one of my first posts has to be about the movies that are made adapting them. It's kind of funny but I have a strange taste when it comes to them. I am probably the only guy in the United States who liked Daredevil and The Punisher. Otherwise a movie like Elektra that totally blew, I see posts eating up this movie. One guy at work described Elektra as "badass." Of course this guy's favorite movie is Van Helsing.

Here is my criteria to grading comic book movies:

Good-Worth seeing again.

Tedious-Worth seeing, but not for repeated viewings

Bad-Not worth seeing at all.

Of course some people may tell me that "tedious" is close to being the same thing as "bad." The tedious movies had good acting and good special effects, but they either repeated scenes over and over or they strectched their movie out way too long.

Here they are in absolutely no order. I just wrote them as they occurred to me:

X-Men (tedious)
X2 (tedious)
Hulk (tedious)
Elektra (bad)
Batman (bad)
Batman Returns (bad)
Batman Forever (good)
Batman & Robin (bad)
Spider-Man 2 (good)
Punisher (good)
Hellboy (good)
Sin City (good)
Blade II (good)
League of Extordinary Gentlemen (bad)
Spider-Man (tedious)
Superman II (good)
Superman III (bad)
Sin City (good)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I, II, and III (bad)

Comic Book Movies I have never seen and why:

Blade (DVD I rented was scratched and messed up. I'll rent it soon)
Blade Trinty (I'll get around to it)
Superman IV (Never finished it and I have no desire to)
Catwoman (I'm making it a point to never see this)
Punisher (1990 version) (Ditto)
Captain America (Double Ditto)
Spawn (Triple Ditto)
Supergirl (Quadruple Ditto)
Howard the Duck (Penta Ditto?)
