Couldn't wait a couple weeks for Spider-Man 2?

Anyway, i had to vote Spider-Man. Re-watching Superman recently with that abysmal ending and Luthor/Otis made me cringe. Batman is fun but not the interpretation of the character that i'd like to see. Blade is solid all around, but the character isn't as interesting as the others. X-Men and X2 do a great job but trying to balance the multiple characters leaves more to be desired. Never saw the others on the list.

With the glowing reviews surrounding Spider-Man 2, i wouldn't be surprised if the results change

why would you lump "Superman I" and 2 together? They are different entities and leagues apart.
My vote other..."Superman I"...loved 2, but it is so different than I.
Why wouldn't you just lump all the originals with their sequels inferior or superior then?

Always will be Superman 2. The greatest villain in comic book movie history.

Don't really count the Lone Wolf & Cub series as a "comic book", or they would be my favorite. Yeah it's sequential art, but for me it's not a comic book.

Original 1978 Superman.

Worthy of being called an epic in the same breath of admiration I give to Lawrence of Arabia or LOTR.

From the list, I'd go with Superman.

But, if we're to believe Ebert: Spider-Man 2 is soon to be right up there amongst the best-of-the-best.

That's kind of funny considering Ebert didn't understand the first one when every 8 year old in the theater did.

For the record, I voted for Batman. Not the franchise itself, just the first movie. Eagerly awaiting the Christopher Nolan version though . . .
