Daredevil’s not really THAT bad. In fact, the director’s cut is actually kind of cool. I don’t think it deserved a spot on the list, at least not when there’s more deserving crap like TMNT 3, Hulk, and Superman III out there– not to mention the complete slap to the face that is X3.

They are kind of un-necessarily harsh on Fantastic Four, too. That is a completely acceptable superhero fantasy movie that didn’t hurt anybody. In a world where we have been force-fed garbage like Spawn, I’ll take it.

Really, I’d like to know why Superman Returns gets a free pass. It got generally good reviews according to Rotten Tomatoes (though it should be noted that many of those “good” reviews still have plenty of criticisms and/or faint praise), but viewer opinions — whether fanboys or average moveigoers — were pretty negative.

I guess just about everything on the EW list truly was worse than SR, though I’d honestly rather watch Daredevil (at least the Director’s Cut). I’d also add Spider-Man 3, Supes 3, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Ang Lee’s Hulk to the list.

Oh, and I’d also add the JLA 90210 movie before it’s even made.

They better have listed SMASH EVIL.

pah! The Phantom’s a really fun movie.

I remember seeing The Shadow and thinking, while it wasn’t great, that it had its moments. Another pass at the script might’ve done the trick.

And I definitely felt (at the time) that Alec Baldwin would’ve been a great Batman/Bruce Wayne. Far better than Keaton or Kilmer (or Clooney, who should’ve been a good one but wasn’t).

I think we can all agree that a truly COMPREHENSIVE list of bad comic-to-film adaptions would be much, much longer than 20 films…

Baldwin’s made quite the comeback with 30 Rock, actually. I can’t stand to watch Tracy Morgan’s character, so I rarely watch it, but Baldwin’s hilarious.

His parenting skills, however, are highly questionable.

I’d forgotten about the 80′s (or early 90′s?) Cap movie… Both that, and the first Punisher, were straight to video weren’t they? That might be why they weren’t included. But yeah, those should probably be on the list too.

Someone needs to explain to me how a naked Jane Fonda — back then — could be possibly be “bad.” As noted, both Sheena and Swamp Thing are least noteworthy for hot women doing a topless scene.

THE SHADOW wasn’t bad, and I disagree somewhat with the stereotyping charge- as I remember it, at least, the villain was decently developed as a character. And there are some genuinely cool setpieces in the film overall, plus a nice tone. It’s been a while since I watched it (the lack of a widescreen DVD is part of that- I don’t mean anamorphic, even, I mean letterboxed.)

There’s wikipedia too, but I’m too lazy to look it up. Heck, I’ve barely done any work at my job today…

The thought the Thomas Jane Punisher was worse than the Dolph Lundgren one? Idiots.

I also enjoyed The Phantom & The Shadow.

One last thing, where were the two 1970s Captain America flicks? At least the late 80s/early 90s one had him looking like Cap instead of throwing around a see-through shield.

Worra lorra crap. Poorly thought out list that forgets it’s purpose half-way through. At no point does the Supergirl reviewer explain why he thinks the movie is bad and while STEEL the movie sucked, John Henry Irons is a great character.
And, of course, they utterly failed to mentioned the main reason why Judge Dredd was so awful – he takes his damn helmet off in the first ten minutes!
