I think top of my list for comics movies is Batman Begins.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
I liked Hellboy a lot, though I was only passingly familiar with the source material until after the movie came out.
I did not like Constantine, but I think a lot of that had to do with Keanu Reeves. He did not seem like a way cynical seen-too-much inadvertent sorceror as he did Neo-Redux But With Theology.
Liked the first two Spidey movies, hated the third.
Liked the first two X-Men movies, hated the third.
And I have a great love for Superman Returns, though I know there are a lot of folk here who didn't like it.

I'm not sure I've ever had cause to say this, but: MM, get outta my brain!
I'm thrilled for this summer's comic book/adventure movies -- Iron Man, Dark Knight, Indiana Jones.
What else am I forgetting? Is Hellboy 2 this summer?
And I have a great love for Superman Returns, though I know there are a lot of folk here who didn't like it.
Like Green Goblin?
Green Goblin: Oh, yeah, why would you want to watch someone fight in a superhero action movie when you could watch someone think?! "Coming this summer: Lex Luthor thinks!" How did that pitch meeting go? "Ready for this, guys? Lex Luthor's gonna THINK!" "How much?" "$200 million!" "Sold!"
Lex Luthor: Actually, only some of it was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally, the explaining of the plan, which I had plotted after I'd thought of it.
Really looking forward to Iron Man.

You should have seen the barely under the surface frustration I was causing my husband the other night about this movie.
"I'm so excited for Iron Man!"
t blank stare from me
"You know? Iron Man? Comic book movie?"
t blank stare turns to knowing
t starts humming "Iron Man"
"NO NO NO!! That's Ozzy Osbourne! Not [insert name of Iron Man]"

I *loved* Superman Returns. And I really didn't expect to, going in - I expressly dislike Kate Bosworth, have become increasingly skeptical of Kevin Spacey, and the idea of another Superman movie was kind of meh. But I wound up falling completely head over heels for it.
(Though it's another on that list of "don't really want the DVD because the big screen experience was so BIG" movies, so I haven't seen it since it was in theatres. I'm just not sure how it'd play on a television.)

Batman and Iron Man and Hulk and Hellboy and Speed Racer and Wall-E and Indiana Jones and X-Files.
insert name of Iron Man
Tony Stark.
t edit
And, really, Robert Downey Jr. is kinda perfect to play Tony Stark.
Not [insert name of Iron Man]
That would be Tony Stark, Aims.
