Best & Worst: Marvel Movies

For every X-Men, there's a Ghost Rider...

Best: X2 (2003)

Thanks to the success of the first X flick, there was quite a bit of cash to play with for its sequel. And it shows. Giant sets hinted at the increased budget, while the film’s scope opened up to pleasingly epic scale.

The opening Nightcrawler attack is a pulse-raiser, and Singer ensures that we’re gripped right the way through to the tragic, foreboding end. As we said at the time... X2 is bigger, bolder and better, exceeding its predecessor in almost every way.

      And yet you spared the God-awful Daredevil. For shame.

      What about Spiderman 3? Is there not enough hate left over for Spiderman 3?

      Worst: Xmen 3 Brett Ratner raped the franchise.

      What about the Hulk? The first attempt spent too long getting nowhere, but the last one was a decent..er fist of it. The thing i didnt like about the spidey series was they spent too long teasin with Dr Curtis they ended up forgttin about him

      Brett ratner has recieved a bad amount of press forever and the fin al cut wasnt his idea but the studio...a bit like blaming a manager when the owners of the football club are c**p...have you seen the deleted parts which if he was allowed to include would have the final cut 10 times better?? the latest x-men should be number 2 well done for gettin Blade in as number one and deacon frost was a great villain ..james bond hasnt had any the last 3 films he has been in....that first hulk again was better than the second one which had the worst cgi ever...watch in the featurette how ang lee angled for better fight scenes but the producers refused him the money..the dog fight for example would have been alot better and longer.

      catwoman isn't even in there, even though it's mentioned a few times. Probably the worst movie ever

      Catwoman is DC. Can't believe daredevil wasn't in there though, absolutely terrible film.
