Top Comics Movies

February 7, 2021 - -

I was just listening to the episode 126 of The Watching Comics Podcast, in which Jake and Mitch pose the question Is X2: X-Men United a Top 10 Comic Book Movie? There were certainly some good conversations and good points made in the podcast, Animorphs notwithstanding, but in the end, they came to the unsurprising conclusion that yes - X2 was a top 10 comic book movie.

That got me wondering. Would it be top 10 for me? I've ranked the Marvel Films before, but that was just Marvel. And I've listed five random great superhero movies, but that doesn't do the job.

So let's go. Let's see whether X2 would be on my top ten.

  1. The Avengers
  2. Avengers: Infinity War
  3. Avengers: Endgame
  4. Dark Knight
  5. Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
  6. Watchmen
  7. Captain America: Civil War
  8. Thor: Ragnarok
  9. Superman 78
  10. X-Men: Days of Future Past
  11. Guardians of the Galaxy
  12. Captain America: Winter Soldier
  13. Deadpool
  14. X2: X-Men United
  15. Spiderman 2

So yeah. Close, but not quite there for me. I apparently needed to have that question answered.
