Which movie coming from Marvel or DC comics do you think has been the worst. Just within the last 10-15 years. Let's not go back to the good ol "Captain America" type movies.

For me, hands down, Hulk. Wanted to shoot myself.

FF4 and Punisher were amateur, cheesey and predictable. But something about Hulk made me go nuts.

Tobey Maguire almost made me want to vote for Spider-man. Him and the terrible effects.

(Brain freeze is stopping me from adding more to the list. I'm sure they're out there. Just can't think of them)

Daredevil disappointed me the most, but only because I avoided seeing the Hulk and I think I only bootlegged Fantastic Four. All three were very disappointing.

Of those on the list, Daredevil. Hands down the worst.

If Frank Miller were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.


Of those not in the poll, Daredevil was Godfather+Apocalyse Now in cinematic greatness compared to Elektra. Jeesus! My guess is that no one even knew Elektra was a comic character and didn't know they could pick up dozens of issues to see who Elektra was. If Frank Miller ever saw what they did to his masterpiece, I'm sure he must have offed himself.

Oh, just remembered another one: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That movie sucked worse than anything listed here, and to make it more insulting, the original comics were brilliant.

I also submit Hellboy, which wasn't an awful movie but fell short of the spirit of the comics. They recently put out an animated TV-movie that was pretty cool though.

Although the CGI-Hulk didn't really the battle with the mutant poodles was truly unforgivable, I have to admit that overall I really enjoyed The Hulk. I liked the arty, brooding style that Ang Lee used to make that movie. It seemed to me that he understood the depths of the tragedy that lurked beneath that green skin.

The Fantastic Four, on the other hand, was nothing but cringeworthy. The nifty special effects could not save that movie from the craptacular acting and stupid writing that went into that movie from start to finish.

I voted fantastic four.

daredevil was okay, fantastic four was the opposite of fantastic. I truly enjoyed The Hulk and have no idea why everyone thought it sucked. It was campy and comic bookish all the way.

Not on the list would have to be that piece of crap with the Keanu Reeves (one of the shittiest actors on the planet) - Constantine. What a waste of my time. That movie sucked the big one big time.

Another one that did poorly from reviews and fans that I enjoyed is Judge Dredd.

I can't believe people are saying Batman and Robin more... The movie reel broke half way through the flick in the theaters and I stood up and yelled, "Best damn part of the whole movie!!"

Except for Sin City, to a certain degree, they pretty much all sucked.

So, I voted for other...as in other than Sin City.

A few we forgot:

-Blade
-From Hell (which was pretty good)
-Spawn (seriously a guy got rich inventing this character?)
-V for Vendetta

I'm worried they'll actually release a Watchmen movie.

Batman & Robin killed the franchise for a reason.

I liked Hulk up until the final ten minutes. An epic battle with a thunder cloud?

Fantastic Four needed a plot to go with the character bits.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a turd.

Elektra and Daredevil... meh.

I liked Spidey a lot, thought the "Superman" parts of Superman Returns were pretty good, but the rest of it was meh, didnt see Batman yet.

Round up the people who made these and shoot them in the face, film it and add it to the DVD re-release, sell like hot cakes.

Don't mess with Tank Girl. That's a classic.
