    I liked Ron Perlman as Hellboy. Maybe I just like Ron Perlman. I'd never even heard of the character before I saw the movie.

    Health Ledger is so far and above everyone else, that the real battle is for second best performance. For me, those contestants are:

    RDJ as Iron Man
    Jackie Earl Haley as Rorschach
    Hugo Weaving as V

    Possibly some others I'm forgetting. And even though it was a less serious role, I have to give credit for J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson (the best part of the original Spider-Man trilogy).

    Oh yeah! J.K. Simmons really was the perfect J. Jonah Jameson. They really couldn't have casted anyone better. Reminded me of the carton version of him

    Yeah that's my second place winner. Perfectly acted. They should have just got him to play JJ in the second set of films.

    Say what you will about the films but I'll throw my hat in the ring and say that Hugh Jackman makes a great Wolverine.

    Agreed. There will never be another actor who plays JJ as well. If that's the only criteria, Simmons is certainly up there with the best of them.

    Kelsey Grammer -- Beast

    Okay, this was a little more X-Men heavy than I was expecting.
