So we’ve come to yet the end of another month and are sitting here with another top 10. I didn’t know where to even begin with this one because as I said at the start of July, I’m not a comic book freak. I read the Sunday funnies and that is where my love affair started and continues on. I racked my brain and decided upon an easier choice to count down — so here are what I think are the best comics turned movies.
10. Iron Man
Robert Downey Jr. — enough said.
9. Superman
Going with the Christopher Reeve editions here.
8. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
This one didn’t get enough love, so I’m showing it some now.
7. The Avengers
When that many heroes assemble, you have to show respect.
6. Casper the Friendly Ghost
Devon Sawa at the end — my heart still beats a little faster every freaking time and it’s been almost two decades.
5. Spider-Man
I think everyone knows I’m referring to Tobey’s take and not Andrew’s.
4. Kick-Ass
Having never even heard of the comics, I was so surprised when I saw it and I think like everyone else, I fell too hard for Hit-Girl.
3. X-Men
There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of mutants.
2. Batman
From the campy to the super serious, they’re all good in their own right, right?
1. Josie and the Pussycats
Yes, and you know what? I’d debate you on it because the soundtrack alone would win a war. Although one of those Batman movies does have “Kiss from a Rose…”
Next time we’ll get August started off right with a new topic! You’ll have to wait and see what we have in stor(ag)e with that one.
