Ha, besides Green Lantern and Spider-Man 3, you picked movies that most people already like,

Sorry man but Green Lantern was just horrible

I'd say The Incredible Hulk is the most underrated CBM. I think I'd describe movies like Spider-man 3, X-men 3, and Superman Returns as "over-hated" if that makes sense.

Whilst I disagree with all but 2 of the films in this list, I find SM3 to be overly criticized. It does have some glaring issues, the script and use of villains among those, however the action is some of the best in CBM history and the special effects are at times breathtaking. The general idea of Peter becoming dark and having to rediscover his heroic side was a good approach for the film, however the final film's portrayal of this 'Peter' lacked conviction. I believe if Raimi had a second chance at making SM3, with the same concepts and characters (minus maybe one or two), I believe the film would be praised far more.

Agreed withR888, 300 was awesome, as far as adaptations go its right up there with sin city.

@BIGBMH: That makes sense. X3 and Superman Returns were both forgettable (though Superman wasn't exactly terrible, IMO).

Sorry but Green lantern still sucks

As for Iron Man 2, I've found mixed comments about it in the time that I've spent on CBM. Seems to be one of those love it or hate it films.

ATrueHero1987 - 7/29/2012, 7:55 AM
I agree with you on this list(except GL & SM3) especially with The Punisher. Not the Punisher movie I envisioned but it was great. A lot better than Punisher: War Zone.

To be honset, I liked Spider-Man 3 and Green Lantern, I even have them on DVD!

marvel72 - 7/29/2012, 7:55 AM
i agree with iron man 2,the incredible hulk & 300 are underrated i think they're good.

i have to disagree with you the punisher,green lantern & spider-man 3 are bad.

spider-man 3 is the best out of the three i dislike,i can only watch the action scenes the bits inbetween suck balls.

I don't think 300 is universally disliked. I'd add Daredevil to that list also.

Gotta agree that 300 and Iron Man 2 are underated.

Green Lantern is rated just as it should be...
Damn shitty.

spiderman 3 was shit i don't see why people say otherwise. it didn't make any sense it was like they took 3 shitty scripts and mashedthem together. There was no continuity at all in the movie. And it seemed like TM and JF were not taking there roles seriously at all. it was a disgrace. i have never left a movie theater so mad before in my life.
spidey1994
spidey1994 - 7/29/2012, 8:01 AM
I would even take Spider-Man and Green Lantern over Batman and Robin, Steel, Superman IV and Catwoman. Those 2 movies are masterpieces compared to those 4 peices of shit.
ATrueHero1987
ATrueHero1987 - 7/29/2012, 8:01 AM
And I love TIH, the only things I would change is Ross's motivation to hunt The Hulk, going into Blonsky's back story....and keep The Abomination's original design.lol Seriously, it's a great movie.
marvelmark
marvelmark - 7/29/2012, 8:02 AM
good choices with Iron Man 2 Hulk and 300, but Punisher was wank, tom jane was a good punisher, but the movie wasnt.
and green lantern should just be wiped from our minds, it was shit.
marvelmark
marvelmark - 7/29/2012, 8:03 AM
oh and spider-man 3 was just dissapointing....
pooerest attempt at venom i could imagine
mmusicman
mmusicman - 7/29/2012, 8:07 AM
IMHO...

1. if they would have deleted the strutting/dancing parts out of Spider-Man 3, that would have been a fairly decent movie

2. with Green Lantern, I felt like '1 and done'

3. I know it's not on your list but I liked X-Men 3 (yeah, I know...let the SHREDDING begin)

Who didn't like 300? I thought that movie was mostly liked by people. I agree on the Thomas Jane Punisher (hell both Punishers). I thought Iron Man 2 (except for the final fight with Whiplash) was awesome. IMO The only crime committed by IM2 was that it wasn't quite as good as IM1. But it was still good.

Green Lantern, however, I completely disagree. That battle at the end of GL was pointless. I felt zero investment in the outcome. "Can I train 'em or can I train 'em?" If by training you mean 30 seconds of plot necessary tutorials (i.e., the sun bit) before letting Hal get his ass kicked by Sinestro, then yeah, I guess you can. For my money, Mark Strong's Sinestro was the only nugget in that film worth mentioning.

I agree except for Spiderman 3
(2,5/5) and GL (3/5). @Grif I am touched, in tears! You wrote that you liked 2movie!

CaptainObvious - 7/29/2012, 8:13 AM
I wouldn't call Green Lantern underrated. It's hated by people for very good reasons:
-Unlikable main character
-Visual effects that belong in the 90's
-Villain who screams like a little girl
-Dumbasses at the Corps who make stupid and irrational decisions
-Wasted talent
-Horrible sequel baiting that ruins the plot even more
-2nd villain that looks like a dust bunny
-Horrible editing
-Director that had no passion or interest in the character
-Supporting characters that serve no purpose

i love the 2004 punisher. thomas jane gave an awesome performance. i really hope they do a sequel with him wearing the skull once again.
SuperPickle
SuperPickle - 7/29/2012, 8:15 AM
I can agree with all of those. I just never thought of "Incredible Hulk" as underrated. I thought it was awesome.

But "300", while well made and faithful to Miller's original, just sits wrong in my head. Never really liked it.

polarkyle - 7/29/2012, 8:16 AM
when people say IM2 was cool they are only talking about the last 30 minutes of the movie. other than that the movie is pretty medicore. also superman returns should be on this list
ComicFan523
ComicFan523 - 7/29/2012, 8:16 AM
I agree with all your picks except for Spider-Man 3 and Green Lantern. Spider-Man 3 was just way too cheesy for me. Before seeing Green Lantern I didn't know too much about the character, but just from watching the film I wondered why they focused so much time on Hector Hammond. They established really early on in the film that Parallax was the absolute worst evil imaginable, but it seems to me that the primary villain in the film was Hammond, who didn't really do anything other than act weird and scream. I also didn't really care for Ryan Reynolds in it, I hope that they recast him if they go forward with Justice League.

@dgabbor: I wouldn't call it bad taste, so much as a differing/unpopular opinion.

To those who call people on here retarded would the term be so frequent in your vocabulary if your child was?

Back on topic, i actually loved sm3 when i first came out the cinema and the 2nd and 3rd time. Its gone down in my estimations as far better films have been realised and my tastes have improved but i still watch it from time to time. Havent seen 300 but i feel theres enough love fr that filmthat its rated just fine what do you want, oscars? Love the incredible hulk. Ironamn 2 is very difficult to watch now, that film was a dissapointment when i saw it in the cinema. GL is awful waste on money to make and for me to buy on dvd.

Honestly if people look at the Punisher hard enough it deserves a much better score. It was incredibly true to the comics, much more than people realize. Take his car for instance, that was pretty much the rough draft for the battle-van. Not only that his declaration of intent, another hint at things to come, his War Journal. I think if we would have got a true Tom Jane sequel we would have seen those things.

It was a fantastic and different way to tell his origin story and I think Travolta was fantastic as the villain in it, the Russian was done really well and the minions were menacing, the way they interrogated Dave and ripped out his piercings. The way Castle set the whole thing up, it was pretty brilliant, and very Punisher!
Groge511
Groge511 - 7/29/2012, 8:22 AM
Im one of the few that think that Green Lantern was great. If i could change one thing it would be make Sinestro the villain. Having Paralax (a giant cloud) as a villain just doesn't work. Sinestro would have been muxh more convincing, with a motive and someone who was once good. Hopefully they make a 2nd since they put in that after credit scene. Also love TIH and Iron Man 2 was good but was disappointing after seeing the first.
