![]() | Batman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $16.95 Still the best batman ever made, and among the greatest shows ever on television. The art direction, scripts and style of the show are groundbreaking and hold up after repeated viewings. The series constantly seems to reinvent itself and still stay true to classic stories from the comics while updating them for new audiences. All four volumes worth on DVD are priceless.
|
![]() | Batman Begins (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.34 Arguably one of the best movies ever made, let alone comic book movies, "Begins" is an amazing movie from start to finish which finally does Batman and his origin justice. The look and feel of Nolans film are spot-on and Christian Bale is perfect as both Bruce Wayne and Batman.
|
![]() | Superman Returns (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $0.01 At once a fantastic sequel and a rebirth to a classic franchise, Bryan Singer balances the fantastic visual elements along with a very identifiable and personal story for the man of steel. An instant classic which raises the bar for future comic book adaptations.
|
![]() | Spider-Man 2 (Widescreen Special Edition)
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 Sam Raimi does wonderful things with this film; Respecting the characters and there origins, and balancing both the Peter Parker story and the Spiderman story flawlessly and seemlessly into a joyful filmgoing experience. Picking off from where the 1st film ended, the 2nd film becomes both more personal, and features more action scenes.
|
![]() | X2 - X-Men United (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.05 The best "X-Men" movie, bar none, because it both stays faithful to the source material and characters, yet does a largely original story (besides phoenix) which is profoundly personal and which also features much imporved action sequences and effects from the first film.
|
![]() | V for Vendetta (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $2.99 Just a wonderful jewel of an amazing movie with an outstanding script which boiled down a very wordy and heavy graphic novel. Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman are amazing in this film and the films editing is very underrated.
|
![]() | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.00 One of those few movies I saw and loved as a kid, and years later rediscovered and actually enjoy more as an adult. Just a great, enjoyable movie with a very underrated script. The puppet work and costumes are also still very good.
|
![]() | Justice League, Seasons 1-2 (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $59.49 / Used from: $34.94 A show that just kept getting better with each episode. Season 2 in particular is just amazing, and the show manages to faithfully modernize these classic heroes.
|
![]() | Hellboy (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $0.27 A great fun movie with outstanding costumes and makeup effects, and an amazing script. The film is paced extremley well, and is very well acted and does a great job of adapting the comic books.
|
![]() | Sin City - Unrated (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $28.99 / Used from: $5.67 Its hard to get a more faithful adaption to a comic book than "Sin City", which was co-written and directed by the comics creator/artist Frank Miller. The 4 stories blend together well and the cast and visual effects are all top notch. A great movie to just sit back and experience.
|
![]() | Fantastic Four - Extended Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $3.57 An underrated movie, especially in comic book circles. I think its a faithful modernized version of the FF and the film is also very fun. The character interaction is what makes this film great, and the extended cut adds alot more of that stuff.
|
![]() | Superman - The Movie
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $0.01 Still to this day one of the best and most faithful comic book movies and origin tales ever made, this film is great in everyway. Christopher Reeves is still amazing to me.
|
![]() | Daredevil (Director's Cut)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.99 Unlike the clunkily edited theatrical release, the Directors Cut actually includes a (gasp!) plot and is put together in a much more intelligent way than its counterpart. A dark, gritty and mostly faithful adaption to the classic marvel comic.
|
![]() | Constantine (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.72 A very fun, and well made flick. The script is very good and well paced. The art direction and mood of the movie are both top notch. I really like Reeves in this one.
|
![]() | Spider-Man (Widescreen Special Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 It can be said that this film solidified the future for comic book movies and raised the bar for expectations and showed it was possible to both faithfully adapt a comic book and modernize it at the same time. While it still bothers me that the Mary Jane character in the films is actually the Gwen Stacy character from the comics, the film is a joy to watch.
|
![]() | X-Men - The Last Stand (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.94 A clunky film with some great material in it which makes it more than worth watching. The film is a logical conclusion to the main plot the film trilogy chose to focus on ("the cure") and also the dark phoneix sub-plot is adaquetly done (although deserved a movie in and of itself to properly breath in). The action is well done and the new characters are a welcome addition.
|
![]() | Road to Perdition (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.88 Unknown to most as being a graphic novel adaption, it is an amazing movie, in which Tom Hanks and Paul Newman both deliver powerful performances. It ends differently from the graphic novel (mostly due to the addition of Jue Laws character), but it's still a great movie.
|
![]() | Justice League Unlimited, Seasons 1-2 (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $50.49 / Used from: $56.26 About the only thing "Justice League" didn't have going for it was the expanded line-up of supporting heroes and villians, which "Unlimited" more than had at its disposal. Season 1 picks up where the greatness of "Justice League" Season 2 left off, and just kicks into another gear with outstanding stories. Unfortunetly, Season 2 of "unlimited" leaves much to be desired.
|
![]() | Blade II (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.99 My personal favorite of the "Blade" films, mostly because of the direction and look of the film by Guillermo Del Toro. I also think the plot was the most polished of the three films, and contained the most visually appealing effects and action sequences.
|
![]() | Blade - Trinity (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $1.24 Most peoples choice for best in the "Blade" trilogy, and I can see why. The film is by far the most entertaining and funny in the series, and has the best cast of the three films. The Dracula plot takes awhile to get going, but has a great payoff. Just a fun movie.
|
![]() | Batman Beyond - Return of the Joker (The Original Uncut Version)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.21 I was, and am still not a fan of the series, but this film bridged the gap between the older animated show and this one. The film is very well written, and has breathtaking animation.
|
![]() | The Complete Superman Cartoons - Diamond Anniversary Edition
Buy new: $4.99 / Used from: $2.98 A great style and classic feel makes this show withstand the crtical eye of time. I still love to occassionaly pop this in on a rainy saturday morning and get lost in this great old show.
|
![]() | Superman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $5.87 While not as great or epic as the "Batman Animated Series", "Superman" has its own appeal. The series is unfortunelty at the mercy of one vital flaw in Supermans rich history: his lack of cool, powerfl villians. This results in holding off on villians like Doomsday or Darkseid and overusing villians like Metallo.
|
![]() | Batman (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $5.98 Still one of the most memorable movies from my childhood, and one of the better "Batman" films to date. Jack Nicholson is amazing as the "Joker" and the whole look and feel Tim Burton accomplishes in this film are breathtaking.
|
![]() | Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $3.68 Far superior to the original release of the film, the editing is just alot better and smoother and makes the film more intelligent. Another nice thing is that very annoyingly stupid scenes which muddies the theatrical are now lost.
|
![]() | Hulk (Widescreen 2-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.01 "Hulk Smash!"...well, sort of. When the movie does focus on the action, its breathtaking and a real joy to watch. The cast is great, but seems to be lost in a very wordy and long script. Would've been nicer to see more of the Hulk.
|
![]() | The Crow (Miramax/Dimension Collector's Series)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.02 Good movie with a great cast and script. Art direction and cinematography are both great,
|
![]() | From Hell (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $1.84 Another great movie which has a great cast and boiled down script from a much longer and more confusing graphic novel. Johnny Depp is (as always) outstanding in the lead role, and the look and feel of the movie makes for a unique experience.
|
![]() | Hellboy: Sword of Storms (Animated)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.76 Great animation, great art direction and a great perk having the feature films cast doing the voice-work. Unfortunetly, for me, this first animated feature falls way short of the brilliance of both the comic and feature film. Still, it is fun and the action scenes are great.
|
![]() | The Amazing Screw-on Head
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.92 Never read the comic, but this is a great and funny little piece of animation based of of Mike Mignola's comic book. It more accurately captures the style of his work than the "Hellboy" animated features do.
|
![]() | Smallville - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $3.91 For the first 3 seasons, this was a great and innovative show. It put a very different and modern (and yet still faithful) twist on the Superman origin tale. By Season 4 however, the show becomes victim to itself and the pretenses become a little hard to continue believing.
|
![]() | X-Men (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.15 Not the "X-Men" movie I always wished for by any means, but one that somewhat faithfully introduces us to this world and its characters. Specific scenes are either very good or downright awful, which makes for an uneasy experience watching it.
|
![]() | Blade (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $1.42 A film which surprised me when it came out,and is still an okay movie. It does a good job with the effects and origin story, but the sequels far surpase it in both story and effects...and fun.
|
![]() | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.29 I only recently saw this again for the first time in about a decade, and I was surprised how fun it is. The costumes (and budget) are obviously not as good, but the story is very good and the action is more on par with the first film.
|
![]() | Dick Tracy
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.37 Another movie I loved as a kid and rediscovered recently as an adult and appreciated more. The visual style of the movie is great, and as a kid I'm pretty sure all the more adult ennuendos went way over my head.
|
![]() | The Invincible Iron Man
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.92 I love the style of this flick, I just wish they kept the script a little tighter in spots, but still..Marvel is doing good things with these animated movies. This one is my fav so far.
|
![]() | Todd McFarlane's Spawn - The Ultimate Collection (Animated Series)
Buy used from: $11.99 Okay, so we all finally realized "Spawn" kinda blew (especially the late '90s movie), but the animated series from HBO was great. It was well voiced, and very stylized and wonderfully violent.
|
![]() | Batman Returns (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $4.97 Tim Burton manages a very stylized and unique sequel with new locales and villians. The script is iffy, and the whole final act kinda blows, but the lead up to it and the interraction between the 3 leads (Batman, Penguin and Catwoman) are all very good.
|
![]() | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II - The Secret of the Ooze
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.00 Much improved costumes for the turtles, and a much better actress playing April and thats about it. Some really fun scenes and moments, but mostly this film is way too dumbed down and way to kiddied up for most people (even kids) to enjoy it.
