The best ever comic book movies

Could you ever have imagined seeing four brand spanking new comic book movies hitting the big screen in one calender year? The rise in comic book continues to rage on, and 2016 is set to be the most packed yet! With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Deadpool, Suicide Squad, and Captain America: Civil War due for release this year, we celebrate the rise in comic book movies by naming the ten best ever made. Why not share your thoughts in the comments section below...

10 X-Men: Days of Future Past 2014

With the X-Men franchise on the wane, Days of Future Past was just the movie to resurrect one of the most famous comic book brands. The expectation of X-Men movies is now higher than ever.

09 Blade 1998

Not many people knew that Blade was actually a movie based on a comic book, but the movie was a massive hit, regardless. You could say Blade was a movie that laid the foundations for more comic book movies to come.

08 Captain America: The Winter Soldier 2014

The Winter Soldier was a much more popular hit among comic book fans than the first movie. This stunning movie continued the development of one of Marvel's most important superheroes. Bring on Civil War...

07 Man of Steel 2013

Man of Steel had mixed reviews from audiences, but whether you like it or not, you can't deny this movie was beautifully constructed, paving the way for the much anticipated DC Cinematic Universe.

06 Guardians of The Galaxy 2014

Perhaps the biggest surprise on this list. Guardians of The Galaxy was a far more popular than it was meant to be, concreting the just how powerful the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become.

05 Iron Man 2008

Many say it was Iron Man that really paved the way for the huge influx of comic book movies. This hugely popular movie would eventually be the foundation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The rest is history.

04 The Avengers 2012

It's the movie all Marvel fans were waiting for - The Avengers. This record breaking movie is many people's favourite, and with Spider-Man now on his way, this is just the beginning of this amazing universe.

03 Spider-Man 2 2004

Sam Remy's Spider-Man franchise truly peaked at Spider-Man 2, and it's easy to see why. This exceptionally constructed movie set the standard of how comic book movies should be, which ultimately lead to the downfall of the third instalment on these movies.

02 Superman 1978

What an absolute classic! We really did believe a man could fly. The original Superman movie in the 70s was a massive family hit that will remain in our hearts forever. Well ahead of its years, this movie soundly did the greatest ever superhero justice.

01 The Dark Knight 2008

The Dark Knight took comic book movies to a completely new level with its dark tone and incredible plots. This Batman movie is the greatest comic book film ever made, and it will surely continue to hold that status for years to come.
