Either Spider-Man 2 or Batman Begins.
I voted Spider-Man2
Superman the movie is close behind.

X2. I liked it a lot, much more than I liked the Spidey movies, so that gets my vote.

Spidey 2. Best fights, effects and acting.

I'm old, so I voted for The Supes™.

X2 was really good, though. Better han the first one.

Spidey 2 was a letdown for me, scriptwise. Great SFX, but that's no longer enough in this day and age.

Batman Begins was good. Way better, of course, than the Schumacher circuses, but I didn't love it like so many people here did.

Spider-Man 2 edges out X2 in this one. The elevated train sequence is probably the best on-screen superhero action I've ever seen.

If you count The Crow(which I did as other), these other movies are good, but they caught the atmosphere of the comic quite well in The Crow, plus Brandon Lee did a great job as Eric Draven/The Crow.

The title of the 1978 movie starring Christopher Reeve as the Man Of Steel is not titled Superman: The Movie. That having been said, out of this lot, I'd go with Batman Begins.

Besides, Superman II was a better movie than the first.

For the sake of the poll, I went with X2.

I'd put Rocketeer on that list.

Balderdash was a lousy superhero movie.

I like all 3 of the Spider-Man movies, and if it were just the special effects, I'd go with Spider-Man 2. But really, I think Superman stayed truer to Superman than Spider-Man did. I mean, shouldn't Peter be shooting his webs out of his...

I've heard from reliable sources that the X-Men movies induce hours worth of naseau and vomiting - unless your family buys you a ticket and makes you go, and then they're awesome movies.

I live for those posts. "As you know, I had no intention in seeing X2, but the doctor insisted that I spend the afternoon seated in a dark room facing a brightly lit screen, and my family won tickets on the radio, and it was the one afternoon that the exterminators could fumigate our house, so I pretty much had to go."

It's hard to have enough material to write a crazifesto if you don't actually read/see the material in question.

I was torn between Spidey 2 and Batman Begins, but went with Batman because there were just more "ohhh yeah!" moments. If Superman had consisted entirely of only his big unveiling night (copter rescue, crook catching, all that), then it would have won, because that's about the best superhero sequence I've ever seen. However, that movie made a mockery of Luthor, he was a parody.
