Most Underrated COMIC BOOK movies - Blu-ray Forum

Diesel · 02-13-2009, 01:30 AM

i did a search and found a general most underrated movies forum, but i wanted to know which comic book movies people find the most underrated. Even if it is some-what to well liked, but you believe it deserves more love than it gets.

Reasons why you believe so are preferred to just the name.

AND NO HATING ON PEOPLES CHOICES WOULD BE NICE

My personal one is The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Many people think its a good movie, but it made no where near the normal comic book blockbuster movies (Iron Man, Spiderman, The Dark Knight, X-men).
Shoot, it didnt even beat Fantastic Four! (which i like in its own right)
It is a great movie for its action and story.
I loved the way they portrayed Bruce and The Hulk.
There wasn't anything about it I really didn't like.

Sure to get hammered for this one but I really liked Daredevil with the extended cut. It was true to the comics and I can always sit down and watch it anytime. Can't say that about a lot of comic adaptations.

The Punisher(With Thomas Jane)...it was such a good movie...the new one(The Punisher: War Zone) suxks

Well the reason it was underrated was because HULK was so terrible so it kept ppl's minds away from incredible hulk. Xmen the last stand was good when i first saw it because of the action and juggy lol, but now im not a fan of it now. Daredevil was ok except for the red hair lol

Thomas Jane as the Punisher was AWESOME, i loved that movie especially the fight with The Russian

VERY true

I just wish people would have given it more of a chance, but HULK did leave a bad taste in everyones mind only five years earlier

ckent22 · 02-13-2009, 01:44 AM

I'd have to go with V For Vendetta. I love that film and I don't think it's gotten enough respect.

Yeah I was still so VERY disappointed when info leaked that we would be enjoying an extended cut of the new film that would push it close to 3 hours as I recall and that didn't happen.

MountainBlu · 02-13-2009, 01:46 AM

I picked Hulk 2008 but also I think that The Crow should be mentioned. It has a cult following now but I don't think it made a ton of money.

I kind of wish that was true
but how it stands the film is perfect pacing for the story it tells
but the extended cut would have been welcome

ckent22 · 02-13-2009, 01:49 AM

The Crow may or may not have made a lot of money I am not sure, but it has definitely gotten a lot of respect. The sequels are garbage however.

where's rocketeer?!

thedarkangel1975 · 02-13-2009, 01:50 AM

I say The Incredible Hulk also. So many I know get The Hulk and Incredible Hulk confused.

V for Vendetta or Spider-man 3. SP3 got a very bad rap but while it does have too much going on, it still is wicked movie (at least to me). V for Vendetta is a fantastic thriller that makes a very strong statement and even after seeing it about 10 times, it still is spectacular.

That was internet misquoting that got out of hand. One misquote then everyone reporting on the misquote.

Windows V · 02-13-2009, 01:57 AM

V for Vendetta the movie is one of my top favourites of all time. It really is a companion piece to The Dark Knight - they should be seen back to back. It's crazy how many similarities there are between them.
