More or less in order:
I have deep love for Batman Returns because of Catwoman.
Unbreakable and Donnie Darko are my favorite comic book movies that aren't technically based on comic books.
I really like Batman Begins and V for Vendetta, despite their flaws. I'd put The Crow in here as well.
Men in Black and Tank Girl are fun.
I enjoyed watching Sin City. I don't feel much need to see it again, but I was sufficiently entertained. I'd probably put Spider-Man and Ghost World in the same category.
I saw Spider-Man 2 fairly recently and was stunned by how awful it was. It was part of a marathon with Fantastic Four, which was pretty goddamn bad, but still better than Spider-Man 2.
I think there was something I liked about From Hell. Besides Johnny Depp, I mean.
And then there's 300, which was made by aliens as some kind of psychological experiment. Rating it is like trying to determine how many stars to give a mugging.
Oh, MM. I am SO with you.
Not just
Impulse,
but also
Superboy (Kon-El; Conner Kent).
So. Fucking. WRONG.
Sorry, my nom de Internet is Corwood Industries and I'll be playing the part of your grumpy old naysayer today.
all of the deviations from the comic made the story worse, not better
Oh, I disagree.
The romance was, no question about it, completely lame and stupid on every level. (Especially since it came out of NOWHERE and up until the "I fell in love with you! Er, at some point!" scene I'd been watching the movie on the assumption that it was still the creepy father-daughter relationship from the comic.)
But Evey in the first 2/3rds or so of the comic is so pathetically and 2-dimensionally written that it just makes me cringe every time I read it. So I was pleased to see that she'd been upgraded to a real person in the movie.
Everything you like sucks, Corwood.
I'm pissed that they killed off
Big Barda
. That really sucks.
MM, because DC hates me, is all I can figure.
t edit
Scola, me too! That one REALLY bothers me. (Since I've [kind of] recovered from them killing off
Superboy.
)

Everything everybody likes sucks.
