Comic Book Movie That You Have NOT Seen

[Shellhead]

There have been a lot of comic book movies over the years, though nowhere near as many as the comics that they are based on. Now that comics are $3.00 each, it would be relatively cheap to watch all the comic movies. So which ones have you not yet seen? Which ones do you have no plans to see? And why?

[Hoss]

That were made since when? I think I've seen almost everything since Blade I.

I did skip that straight to Sci Fi Man Thing. I walked out of Ghost Rider about 1/2 way through and have never gotten through Elektra. Oh, I also couldn't get passed the credits on Catwoman.

[Thorlief]

Daredevil, Catwoman, Elektra and the Punisher.

wish i hadnt seen Hulk and 1991 Captain America

[LtMarvel]

Catwoman, Batman with Mr. Freeze/Poison Ivy, X-anything, Spider-Man I, Daredevil, Elektra, Blade anything, and any version of the Punisher.

1991 Captain America? I hadn't heard of that one.

EDIT: Ghost Rider (Duh) and if we are counting it, Man-Thing

[Gavin Higginbotham, BotF]

Catwoman, yet I bought it when it came out on DVD purely from an anal completist for all comic movie's standpoint. I may watch it eventually. If I'm REALLY bored.

[Thorlief]

Catwoman, Batman with Mr. Freeze/Poison Ivy, X-anything, Spider-Man I, Daredevil, Elektra, Blade anything, and any version of the Punisher.

1991 Captain America? I hadn't heard of that one.


beleve it or not, it exists

[Bouncing Boy]

beleve it or not, it exists
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America_(1991_film)

I'm not sure I believe it...and I've actually seen the film.

[Loren]

I haven't seen Steel, Blade 2, Blade 3, Man-Thing, Ghost Rider, any of the pre-1998 Marvel movies (other than Howard the Duck), or the Swamp Thing movies.

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen Superman III.

I've also fallen asleep during, and thus missed the majority of, Elektra, Punisher, Fantastic Four, and Blade. I didn't feel compelled to go back and finish any of them.

[Joe Rice]

I haven't seen any of the Blade films, though I might try them. I haven't seen FF, Elektra, Daredevil, Man-Thing, Ghost Rider, Batman and Robin, Swamp Thing, Steel EDIT: and Catwoman. Oh, I haven't yet seen American Splendor but I plan to.

[Tim OSullivan]

Joe, thanks for reminding me of American Splendor- one I've seen AND recommend!

Have not yet seen Elektra, but must for completeness- no Ghost Rider yet, but IT REMAINS on my must-see list- only now its there so I can see if it's REALLY that bad!:D

[Mysterio]

I, too, have yet to see Ghost Rider. I want to, just haven't had the chance. Another one I'd like to see eventually is Elektra.

I have no interest is seeing Catwoman, Steel, Batman and Robin, Man-Thing, Swamp Thing or Superman IV.

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting...

[Arrjay]

Blade 2, Blade Trinity, Elektra, Catwoman, old Punisher, new Punisher, Steel, Man-Thing, Swamp-Thing and Captain America.

Bad as it is, it's still not quite as bad as the two 1979 Captain America television movies. :p

Ah the great Reb Brown, the immortal Bull from "Fastbreak"!

[cactusmaac]

Catwoman, Elektra, the Punisher(s), Steel, Barb Wire, Tank Girl, Hulk, Fantastic Four.

Really wise I hadn't seen X-Men 3. I saw it for free on a plane and still felt ripped off.

[Jared]

Man-Thing. Steel. Most of Catwoman. About Half of Batman and Robin. I

It's hard for me to think of movies like Ghost World and American Splendor as "comic book", however technically correct it might be. I'll borrow the former from a friend one of these days.

rofl yeah, plexiglass shield FTW!

This show was almost as bad as '70s Spider Man..anyone remember it?

[dazzler_slave]

I've seen most Comic book movies out there, and as I am a completist freak, I own most of them too (yes, I do own Vampirella, Barb Wire, Catwoman, Man Thing and bootlegs of Generation X, Nick Fury, Howard The Duck, Capt. America and the Justice League Live Action Pilot)

The few I have not seen are:
Steel
American Splendor
Road To Perdition
The 70's Spider Man

[Davideaux]

Have not seen:

Catwoman
Batman and Robin, in its entirety
Elektra
Blade 3
Fantastic Four, in its entirety
Steel
Ghost Rider
Batman Returns

[EZMOHR]

I haven't seen Ghost Rider or Elektra. Most likely will never watch Elektra....I'll see Ghost Rider when it comes out on DVD.

[Magneto_X]

Ultimate Avengers animated movies

X-men 3*

Ghost Rider

American Splendor

Road to Perdition

70's Spiderman

A History of Violence

Arrjay:

Avoid Catwoman, Blade: Trinity and Steel at all costs.
They're so awful I wish I could get them mindwiped from my brain!



* this is due to avoidance because of how crappy it's supposed to be

[Black Atom]

70s Spidey was a TV show. He never had a movie before the 2002 one.

I've seen just about all of them, unfortunately in some cases. Except for Man-Thing, Nick Fury and The Dr. Strange TV movies.

[G. Wayne]

Seen about 2 minutes of Man Thing. Yikes.
I've seen maybe 5 minutes of Steel. Not gonna finish that.
I've seen maybe 30 minutes in clips of Catwoman. No. Just... no.

I haven't seen the bulk of the "Indy" ones; American Splendor, Ghostworld, Road to Perdition (got that on DVD though) etc, etc.

Haven't seen
The Roger Corman Fantastic Four "movie"
either animated Ultimate Avengers movie
The JLA live-action thing.

[DWEarhart]

Man-Thing
Fantastic Four
History of Violence
Steel
Meteor Man (not a comic book, but I'd consider it a comic book movie)
Ghost Rider
The Punisher (Thomas Jane version)
300
Superman Returns
Blankman (see side note on Meteor Man)
X-Men 3
Elektra

[Deep_Sleeper]

Haven't seen:

Fantastic Four
Elektra
Catwoman
Superman 1 - 4
History of Violence

Of course, I'm speaking strictly for movies that made it to theaters. A lot of crap that's straight to video/DVD or are just considered ASS like the Corman F4 or Man Thing or the latest Iron Man animated, I'm not considering in the list.

[mgs]

i wanna see them all, but i've not yet seen: FF (with alba), Elektra, Ghost Rider, Superman (redux), 300, Catwoman, most of the anime stuff.

EDIT: oh yeah, forgot about: Constantine, V for Vendetta

[Cody H]

Catwoman, Blade 3, Superman Returns, Steel, Ghost Rider, X-Men 3, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Road to Perdition, Constantine, Ghost World, Captain America, Swamp Thing, all of the old Superman movies except the first one. Hmmm, more than I thought.

[david r]

I plan to NEVER see any of the X-Men movies. I am too "close" to those characters. And I do not desire to see Halle Berry play Storm, or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. I'd rather remember the X-Men in my imagination, than the Hollywood version.

I really do NOT see the attraction to these movies. They usually botch the characters and their origins. The movie industry distorts everything to their own likings, trying to fit that 16-34 demographic, and I'd rather read the comics than see them butchered by corporate hacks in Hollywood.

Saying that, I LOVED Superman (1978), Superman II, Batman and Batman Begins.

[mattbib]

The only ones I haven't seen, that I'm aware of, are:
Hulk
Elektra
Punisher (Jane)
American Splendor
Steel
Ghost World
Barb Wire
Tank Girl

I haven't seen the old Doctor Strange TV movie either.

I have seen all the old Spider-Man and Captain America TV movies and series, the Matt Salinger Cap movie, Nick Fury, Generation X, all three Blades, all three X-Men, all the Superman movies, Spider-Man I & II, Catwoman, all the Batman movies, Man-Thing, 300, V for Vendetta, Hellboy, Sin City, Howard the Duck, Ghost Rider, the old Punisher movie, Daredevil, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Constantine, Fantastic Four, Road to Perdition, Ultimate Avengers I & II,

Agreed cause a lot of them sucked.

Ah yes, the balloon shield. I watched that movie well half dilerous from a massively stuffed up head and way to much cough medicine, and I could still tell it sucked.

[marshal99]

70s Spidey was a TV show. He never had a movie before the 2002 one.


Actually some of the episodes were released as a movie overseas.

I still haven't seen the new Punisher that had Travolta in it.

[Gavin Higginbotham, BotF]

I actually didn't mind that movie too much. Sure, there were TONS of problems with it but it's worth a watch purely for the young Red Skull's (or someone's, it's been 15 years or so since I saw it) family getting mercilessly gunned down in front of him. I remember my 10 year old brain thinking that this was horrific.

Did the 70s tv movies have the motorcycle in the back of a van? I thought that was pretty cool when I was little.

lol yah, that seemed to be the rule

and hey, lets save something from that horrendous movie. Red Skull's make up wasnt THAT bad (im talking before the "incident") and the cene you mention is actually almost decent made...lol, the guy who enters the house is a Mussolini look alike

[LtMarvel]

After looking at the Wikki article, I'd have to add Dr. Strange (1978) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strange_%281978_film%29) to my list.

Haven't seen Barb Wire, either.

have you ever seen the poster?

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/d/dc/Drstrangemovie.jpg

[GremlinClr]

I've seen most comic movies, even the very bad ones.

I haven't seen:
American Splendor
Road To Perdition
Ghost World
Catwoman
1991 Captain America
I won't see 300 til tomorrow but that doesn't really count

Pretty much everything else I've seen. I even own the Dr. Strange movie and a bootleg of Corman's Fantastic Four. I'm still on the lookout for a cheap copy of Justice League live action pilot and the animated Gen13 movie that was never released.

[mgs]

It's hard for me to think of movies like Ghost World and American Splendor as "comic book", however technically correct it might be.

you, like a lot of people, need to stop thinking of comic books simply as, Superhero books. they are literature, pictures, ideas, anything you can think of.

when you're ready for it, go out and watch Crumb too. If u haven't already.

[mgs]

American Splendor is more a biopic than a comicbook adapatation, to be fair, which is why people probably aren't considering it.

true. but isn't AS all little moments in his life anyways?

[Gladiaria_Alata]

I haven't seen any except for Catwoman, Spiderman I & II, Fantastic 4... and one that completely escapes me. >.<



EDIT: Daredevil! That's it! :rolleyes:

[Thorlief]

So it does...... o.O

[Citizen V]

Daredevil, Catwoman, Elektra and the Punisher.


Same for me,but add Ghost Rider.All are poor movies.

[Tobias March]

Roger Corman's Fantastic Four. Y'know, the one where Sue Storm just walked off camera for her 'invisible' scenes :D

[mattx110]

Roger Corman's Fantastic Four. Y'know, the one where Sue Storm just walked off camera for her 'invisible' scenes :D

that makes more sense than "Take off your clothes so we can get past the police"

"hey, magically all three of us are here despite 2 of us not being invisible... let's not explain that to the public because that scene of jessie alba in a bra is important"

[stealthwise]

Haven't seen...

- Man-Thing
- Catwoman
- Elektra
- most of Blade 3 (except near the end, with the really aggressively homoerotic scenes with Ryan Reynolds and HHH yelling swears at each other like a couple of repressed, bi-curious junior high students)
- Ghost Rider
- Crow 2 and 3

[Scorpion13]

Haven't seen...
- most of Blade 3 (except near the end, with the really aggressively homoerotic scenes with Ryan Reynolds and HHH yelling swears at each other like a couple of repressed, bi-curious junior high students)



Lemme save you some time: the entire movie is like that. Its awful.

[Jared]

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't have any problem with those sorts of movies, per say. I liked A History of Violence and Road to Perdition just fine. I just can't really think of them has "comic book" works, if they're not fantasy, sci-fi, or at least action stories. To my mind, the comic medium is kind of wasted on doing a strictly conventional dramatic story. Art means there's no issue with budget or special effects to tell the story, so if the story doesn't need anything like that, why not just write a book or make a movie to begin with?

[Lurch]

I take a guilty pleasure in the really bad movies, having seen the direct to video Captain America, the first FF movie, and all the made for TV stuff. (I've also been trying to get my hands on a copy of the Justice League TV pilot.) I like the stuff that's so bad it's funny, as opposed to stuff that has high aspirations and is still really bad. But I've missed out on some of the Blade films; I saw the first one and wasn't very impressed so I didn't bother after that. I never picked up Elektra, and I never saw Red Sonja. I also passed on Barb Wire. Hmm...that's three comic-book films with female leads that I passed on. I wonder if that means anything other than the fact that I heard they were horrid so I didn't watch them

there is an issue of budget with comic creators.
they want to tell the story they want to tell, and they can't raise 30,000 to put together an independent film.

plus, if it's the medium they are comfortable with, they should use it.

[mgs]

woo-hoo! got to cross off 300, Batman Begins, A History of Violence and X-Men 3 off my list! :) Got many more to go though.

[GRANT!]

Recent ones: Blades 1 and 3, Both Fantastic Four movies, Steel, Catwoman, Daredevil, History of Violence (though I want to), Elektra, Stardust, Punisher, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen... trying to think what else. Usually if it doesn't look good I won't see it.

Not so recent: The Hulk tv movies, Dr. Strange, The Captain America movies, The Phantom. There's probably some others...

[GRANT!]

Haven't seen...

- Man-Thing

Forgot they made that.

[mgs]

History of Violence (though I want to), ...........Stardust

I actually would've thought it would've been better if they followed the book. And Stardust was/is a comic? O.o

Edit: have to add the new TMNT movie to my list!

[GRANT!]

I actually would've thought it would've been better if they followed the book. And Stardust was/is a comic? O.o

Eh... illustrated novel... kind of counts. Never read it.

[Ronald Bryan]

Hmm

-Road to Perdition
-Ghost World
-History of Violence

A few others I might want to see.

Steel and Catwoman I've avoided every time they've been on TV and I've never tried to even watch Man-Thing.

[The Zapper]

I fell asleep during Superman Returns and haven't bothered to finish it. Haven't seen Ghost Rider or Blade 3 either.

[Sean Walsh]

CATWOMAN. Never have, never will.

Also, ELEKTRA.

[The Batman]

Catwoman, Steel, the Nick Fury movie, Ghost Rider, Barb Wire, Man-Thing, Superman and the Atom Man, and Superman: Brainiac Attacks.

[GrifterWC]

Movies I have NO interest in seeing are Catwoman, Elektra, Fantastic Four II, Ghost Rider, Nick Fury, Spiderman III and Man-Thing.

I haven't seen 300 but plan on renting it.

Movies like Captain America, Steel, The original Punisher, Supergirl, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin I have been lucky enough to bury mentally as to not remember them.

[Toku King]

Elektra
Ugh, that was a bad movie. Smart idea avoiding it.


Fantastic Four II
I say watch it. I really liked it.

Ghost Rider
Give it a try. It isn't a masterpiece, but it's still fun to watch. Just don't spend more than $2.00 on it.

Nick Fury
Horrible movie. Again, smart move.

Spider-Man III
I loved this movie so much. It had its flaws, and was definitely the worst of the trilogy, but it was still much better than most superhero films. Plus, Sandman and Venom!
Watch it.

Man-Thing
Stay away. Incredibly boring to the brink of sleeping through it.
