Most Underrated Comics-Based Films

[Forsaken Lover]

So thanks to Nolan Batman and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, liking superhero flicks is "Cool."
But these new movies have sadly overshadowed other films that deserve love. For one, I noticed a lot of people forget there were quality comic book movies before X-Men or Blade. (some people consider X-Men bad nowadays but it still repaired the reputation of this subgenre)

So yes, what are your Top 5 or 10 or whatever Most Underrated Comic-Based Movies?

The Crow has to be up there. I would also say Hulk but I recognize that movie had a lot of problems that keep it down.

Ghost World - though I guess it's not so much underrated as overlooked.

[Night Fury]

I think the first X Men was great but it went a bit downhill, First Class was awesome though!

I also lovvvvveeeee Avengers and Iron Man

RED

i want to say scott pilgrim but obviously it's not really underrated

[I Don't Need A Name]

[Night Fury]

I do! >.>

Well. They're not underrated I suppose.

Hmmm.... Watchmen? would that count?

Kick-Ass is pretty underrated too.

[charliepanayi]

If by 'underrated' you mean 'not very successful commercially' then Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim definitely both qualify.

The Dolph Lundgren Punisher

I liked Watchmen.

[Psychotic]

I liked Watchmen.

Yes. Especially the soundtrack.

[charliepanayi]

Except for that awful sex scene bit soundtracked to Hallelujah.

Counterpoint: Vietnam, Doctor Manhattan, Ride of the Valkyries.

[Shorty]

Watchmen is fantastic and I have a soft spot for The Crow.

The films I've seen that are based on comics aren't necessarily underrated. My favorites like Sin City, 300 (speaking of holy trout SEQUELS FOR BOTH THIS AND SIN CITY), V for Vendetta and Scott Pilgrim are all pretty prominent and popular.

Watchmen was underrated?! For shame

Watchmen was underrated?! For shame

Maybe. It grossed $185 million, which is not bad but not at your 'comic blockbuster' level. It also got a mixed reaction from critics and fans. Some (like myself) thought it was very good and as true to the source material as it probably could have been, and some didn't think so or thought it was too dark.
