LaaF…Culture!

by a Smattering of LaaF Contributors (& various review aggregators) – Last updated: 7/29/12

this post, nay this blog, was inspired by a terrible blog post that tried to rank the “100 greatest comic book films of all time”.  any list that boasted such a title then puts “catwoman” and “superman 4: the quest for peace” in the ranks invalidated itself.  we thought we could do better.  here are our results of what we feel are the best comic book movies / films.

TO CONSIDER IN OUR RANKING OF FILMS INSPIRED BY COMIC BOOKS:
1) most of the films listed are live action because there are simply too many films if you include animated films, as well as the fact that animated films usually don’t take as much interpretative work since comics are also drawn.  however we did include animated films of particular note (esp. if they do interesting/original interpretations of the comic).

2) we’ve included multiple sources for scores in addition to the LaaF contributors ratings (including three of the most well-know film review aggregators: IMDB, Metacritc, and Rotten Tomatoes) to avoid as much as possible one person’s particular taste to skew the ranking too much.
