The best, worst & strange comic book movies

10 that worked -
In order to work they need to both represent the source material fairly and still make the most of the cinematic medium. Ideally a comic book movie will be worthy of a simple title- film. The following films had great directors, Oscar worthy casts, a solid script and an immersive experience that makes the audience believe in heroes. They might be fun but never disrespect the source material or comic book fans.

10. X Men First Class
9. Batman 89
8. X men 2
7. Kick Ass
6. Hell Boy
5. Superman II
4. Spider-Man 2
3. Iron man
2. Avengers
1. The dark knight trilogy
UPDATE: After suggestions on Facebook I need to include The Crow and Blade (actually I rate Blade 2 higher than the first one). These two made comic book movies 'adult' again after the last couple of Batman films pushed them too far into being camp and kid toy friendly. Just outside the top 10 include: Thor, X-Men, Spider-Man, Hell Boy and the awesome (but far different to the source comic) V For Vendetta.   

10 that didn't -
Comic book movies that don't work usually have some of the follow characteristics: too many crap villains, a dull plot, uninspired dialogue and usually at least one really strange and misplaced sequence. The featured hero usually strays in a weird way from the source material too. The top one here has them all.
10. Spider-Man 3
9. Wolverine
8. Fantastic Four 2
7. Daredevil
6. Elektra
5. Hulk (ang lee)
4. Catwoman
3. Green lantern
2. Batman & Robin
1. Superman IV
UPDATE: How could I forget SuperGirl? The first Fantastic Four isn't great either but the second one is worse. Ditto Superman 3 - the next one was just dull and a far worse film. Others that would come outside the top 10 include Amazing Spider-Man, Blade Trinity, Jonah Hex, and Judge Dredd (Stallone version), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.
 
10 weird ones that could go either way -
Sometimes a producer deserves credit for trying. Sometimes the source material itself is really tough to fit into a film. 10-6 here gave it a good cracked but were plagued by shitty effects, a pointless plot (ahem 9 & 8), or something just not feeling right. I actually like 1-5. They're pretty bold in their approach but for different reasons didn't quite click with audiences.
10. The Shadow
9. Dredd (2012)
8. Superman Returns
7. Ghost Rider
6. Flash
5. Batman Returns
4. Incredible Hulk
3. Punisher
2. Sin City
1. Watchmen
UPDATE: A few that fit here (good films that were a bit weird or tried too hard and didn't find an audience): The Phantom, Swamp Thing, TNMT (animated film), Spawn, 300, Captain America: First Avenger.
