Worst comic book movie

If the tone was kept serious throughout the film, along with better dialogue, it would have offered the best representation of the Punisher (in my opinion).

The villains are typically larger than life in Ennis stories.

....which I understand because their accomplishments feed their egos, plus it's a trait that distinguishes them from the rank and file. With that said, it's hard to capture these qualities on film and still be taken seriously; it's a very fine line between crazy and comical. Heath Ledger got it right with the Joker; Dominic West did not with Jigsaw.

I would like to add if it hasn't been already either captain america 1990 or Nick fury Agent of shield with the Hoff (David Hasilhoff) staring as Nick fury. Both completly Awful films

Dark Knight is a pretty realistic and serious film for this genre. War Zone while dark and violent, isn't really realistic or serious. It's more grand guignol than anything. West's Jigsaw kind of reminds me of Nicholson's Joker - mostly played for laughs and camp.

Superman Returns and X3

Catwoman, Elektra, 1990 Captain America, Dolph Ludgren's The Punisher, and Superman IV are ones I can't stand. I can watch and enjoy Spider-Man 3, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Superman Returns, and some of the others that get thrown around on here for what they are.

Nicholson left a sour taste in my mouth after his portrayal of the Joker that still lingers to this day, i.e. I refuse to see anything he's starred in since that fateful performance.

What ever became of the 1980's (I think) Fantastic Four movie? I could swear I saw previews on a VHS movie when I was a kid. It didn't look all that bad.

The 90s Marvel films such as FF and Captain America were pretty horrendous, judging by what I've seen/heard. But as far as the worst I've ever personally viewed, Elektra and Daredevil are horrible.

Has anyone seen the Nick Fury flick with David Hasselhoff? It's suppose to be better than Citizen Kane.

Thanks! I knew I was not imagining this. Other than looking like an 80's sit com, it doesn't look too awful. Hope It will get released some day.
