List your Tier 1 Comic Book movies (in NO order)

I want to keep the tier small, and I'm probably way more strict on intent than most. For a

Comic Book movie

I think of films that dives deep into their source material and put focus on bringing page to screen in the best way. For that reason:

Superman I/II
Spider-Man 2
X2
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The Avengers
Batman


I wouldn't want to go much further than that. Tier 2 would be huge - BB and TDK, CA: TFA, Guardians, Iron Man, Hellboy 2, etc.

I'm doing them in order of my opinion:

Guardians of the Galaxy
Batman (Tim Burton)
Deadpool
Civil War
Batman TDK
Iron Man
Batman Begins
Winter Soldier
Superman 2
X-Men I

GOAT: The Dark Knight
Tier 1:
Iron Man
Winter Soldier
TDKR
Batman Begins
X-Men First Class
Watchmen
X-Men Days of Future Past

Tier 2:
Thor: The Dark World
The Avengers
Man of Steel
X2
Spiderman 2

Tier 3:
Thor
Spiderman
Captain America: the First Avenger
X1
Wolverine
Batman Forever
Batman (Michael Keaton)
Superman Returns

Tier 4:
The Amazing Spider Man

Deadpool
Fantastic 4
Silver Surfer
Green Lantern
Ant Man
(all of the Hulk movies)
Age of Ultron
Civil War
X-Men Apocalypse

Batman Begins
The Dark Knight

Everything else is on a different tier IMO.

meh. After Rachel dies the movie gets pretty retarded. Up to that point though - it was a perfect movie (hence tier 1, so good the last act couldn't tank it, but it hurt it enough from keeping it from being tGOAT)

Just save yourself some time and go ahead and put it in tier 1

Dark Knight
Batman Begins
Iron Man
Winter Soldier
Avengers
Guardians of the Galaxy
Spiderman 2
DoFP
Deadpool
Civil War

Ant Man is Tier 1

Pretty solid list. I'd take off Batman and put on The Dark Knight.

I wouldn't be against that.

But Spider-Man 2 is the virtual gold standard.

Agree. It and Superman I/II are tough to separate for me.

quote:

---

I'd consider Guardians of the Galaxy for the list and maybe the first Iron Man.

Were my last two off really. I just didn't want a huge Tier 1, and both of those films just ever so slightly miss the boat on "feeling" like a comic book. GotG being a little closer to Star Wars/Indiana. Rethinking it, I should probably add Iron Man, I can't think of something it doesn't do right in terms of comic books. It just feels like it doesn't hit the mark (mostly because Iron Man solo books were weak for a long time.)
