Will The Avengers Be One Of The 10 Best Comic Book Movies of All Time?

[TheFatFilmGuy]

All the reviews are coming in with glowing praise and I don't think I could be more excited (I just had my 8 year old watch Thor, Cap and Iron Man 2 just to be ready) but where will this one rank? Maybe its because I am old, but I still think Tim Burton's Batman was the best (didn't try to be too real, none of this stuff could really happen in our world, stop trying to make us believe it could) but I know I am in the minority. Here is the rest of my top ten:

I am anticipating The Avengers moving into it somewhere, I'm just not sure where.

I there say it is the best comic book movie of all time yes better than TDK.

[Mr.Logan]

I am hoping that its awesome,and a lot of the early reviews seem to make a strong case not only for it to be one of the ten best comicbook movies but might actual be the best.

Just in my opinion here's my top ten favorite comicbook movies.

Batman
Captain America:The First Avenger
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Kick-Ass
Spider-Man 2
Superman
Wanted
X2
X-Men:Fist Class

Could y guys make a case of Joss Whedon getting an Oscar nod for directing?

[ImmortalIronFist]

It's the best comic book movie I've ever seen

Nope and nope.

Will it CURRENTLY be in the "Top 10 Best Comic Book Movies"? Of course. Will it forever be in there? Who knows? But it will probably stay in the "Top 10" for a LONG TIME... partly because, truthfully... most comic book movies (while enjoyable) aren't works of art. I'm not sure I could name TEN "great" comic book movies to begin with (by which I mean "truly great films"). Even reaching into films based on a comic book (not necessarily superheroes)... hmmmmm...

Never, EVER gonna happen. Not in a million years, no.

Not sure it isn't the best "comic book" movie of all time right now. It's pretty good.

It will be viewed as one of the Top 5 super heroes movie ever made i would say.
The best one i dont know,i just watched it one time so far.But just after watching it once i can say that i would not be surprised if the Avengers movie was seen as the best super hero movie ever made.

We have really been lucky recently. X-Men II, Iron Man I, Dark Knight were all incredible movies just in the past decade. Burton's Batman and Superman I would be the other two in my top 5 (in no particular order). If Avengers is better than any of them I would be happy.

I think it's likely that Avengers will be in a lot of top 5 lists for years to come.

[SpideyCzar]

It's all a matter of taste personally. My top 5 are

Spider-Man 2
Avengers
Dark Knight
Iron Man
V For Vendetta

But with as awesome as it is, it's going to be on a lot of favorite comic book films for a long long long time.

[Barachiel]

Yes. It *was* better than the Dark Knight Returns.

I think it's still debatable whether Avengers is the greatest comic book movie of all time. But after having just seen it, I think there's no doubt that it should be in the top ten if not top 5 of all time. It has everything you could want in a superhero movie. It has the scale, impact, and depth that make for a solid overall movie and not just a comic book movie. If that isn't greatness, what is?
