Auto graphed by both? THAT'S COOL !!!

Here's a quickie, as I was looking at my blu ray library....

....ALL comic movies. If it was released on a 4color floppy before the silver screen appearance, let it make your list here!

Gay Titan

Overrated - ANY and ALL of the Deadpool movies! Ugh!
Underrated - Hellboy (2004 & 2008). The first and second movies with Ron Perlman were campy but fun.
Least favorite - Green Lantern. I could barely stomach Ryan Reynolds as GL, but Parallax was a cloud of fear?!?!
Favorite - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. One of the more accurate comic movies.

For my own....

Let's see!

Overrated - Spider-Man No Way home? I have a hard time divesting myself from the wonderful fan service this movie gives. Is it an actually good film? That's where I'm not sure. Honest!

Underrated - Shazam! This movie just gets me right in the right places

Least Favorite - Thor Love & Thunder -the disappointment of this makes 1 & 2 truly look like Hamlet

Favorite -Superman, Christopher Reeve. I get such magic warm fuzzies when he looks at us in the camera at the end of the film.

Some great choices for Least favorite :) and while I would easily put either of those two on my list in that same spot, I also would love to throw Madame Web and Morbius in my hat to pull from, but as I haven't been able to get more than 10 minutes into either of those, I am going to have to pick one I did see a majority of. 
Also, while I am certainly on the "Rated" side of those overrated choices above :) , it is cool to see the differences.

Man, there are a lot of bad comic movies out there. Haha. I am leaving the bad 70's and 80's movies off my list "Least" list, but yeah, there are many bad ones during that period

- Overrated - Black Panther - And no, I am not saying it is a bad movie, but the sfx were. Actually, no, those "special" effects were atrocious (mag train scenes anyone?) and yes, while I totally understand the impact and affect the movie had to and for a lot of people, and while I think the over all appeal (which was massive) was warranted, it wasn't a movie that hit for me as strongly as the attention it received. Not a bad movie, just, yeah, overrated

- Underrated - Constantine - Yes, I was in the pack of "fans" that scoffed at the hiring of Neo as John (and they didn't even have the decency to dye his hair blonde?  ;D ), but much like the outcry that occurred when Heath Ledger was hired as the Joker, and everyone lost their shit about how stupid a decision THAT was, Keanu should have silenced all the voices of scorn as he did a bang up job... making John Constantine American... and while he isn't on the same level of Ledger, he still did a very good job on a highly underrated movie

- Least Favorite - Suicide Squad (2019) - Of course this particular movie is not the James Gunn movie by the same name that came out a few years later and as I said, there are lots to choose from and on a different day I may have chosen a different movie, but I was recently flipping through stations and saw Training Day was on. I watched for about 10 minutes and moved on, but it got me thinking about other David Ayers' movies (Fury, End of Watch) and remembering how I was excited when I heard he was chosen for this movie. HA. Wow, what a disappointment. Utter shit. 

- Favorite - Dredd - Amazing comic book accurate movie. Not that trash Judge Dredd with Stallone, ugh, but the TRUE Dredd!!! One of the very few movies I have seen more than 5 times

And while I chose to keep animation off this list, I certainly tip my hat to not only the two Miles Spider-Man animated flicks, I also almost put in Incredibles as my favorite F.F movie
;D

I almost said Black Panther for the same reasons, Perry.
