1. Marvel's Avengers Assemble [Region Free] (2012)
When it comes to action hero movies, it doesn't get much better than this. Full of action and some good laughs a long the way too. However it does help if you have seen the movies featuring the different Avengers before hand.

2. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Not for everyone, but I found it to be an entertaining watch and is good to see before 'Avengers Assemble', this movie and 'Thor' help in fully understanding the story.

3. Thor (2011)
As said about Captain America, it is good to watch before 'Avengers Assemble', but is a good film in it's own right and Chris Hemsworth makes a good Thor for me.

4. Iron Man 2 (2010)
Most fans of the first movie will enjoy this, it may not be as good as it's predecessor but is nonetheless an enjoyable action movie.

Phil_Sump's rating:

One of the best comic book movies, full on entertainment.

Phil_Sump's rating:

Norton does a good job in a solid reboot that gives the Marvel fans what they wanted, more action, from start to finish.

7. Hulk (2003)
Was heavily critisised by many for it's slow build up, personally I still enjoyed it and when the Hulk does finally start taking names, he does it in some style.

Phil_Sump's rating:

A great re-boot of the Spider-man films and I would argue is the best so far. Like the first of the originals this one goes into the origins of Peter Parker and how he became Spier-man and goes in to more detail about his past. This film also has some fantastic cinematography and regular action sequences keep you on your toes throughout.

9. Spider-man 3 (2007)
The weakest of the three, but still well worth a watch if you were a fan of the others.

11. Spider-Man (2002)
A good start to the trilogy with good focus on the origins of spider-man and Willem Dafoe puts in a good performance as Green Goblin.

12. X-Men: First Class (DVD + Digital Copy) (2011)
One of my favorites, great performances from Michael Fassbender (Magneto) and James McAvoy (Charles Xavier).

Phil_Sump's rating:

Silly in places, but it is a comic book film after all, not as bad as some people say, if you like X-men, then you'll most probably enjoy this.

Phil_Sump's rating:

The weakest of the three, but well worth a watch if you enjoyed the others before it.

16. X-Men (Widescreen Edition) - Stewart, Mckellen, Jackman, Paqui
Gets the trilogy off to a great start, Hugh Jackman is a great casting as Wolverine.

Phil_Sump's rating:

I would recommend this if you enjoyed the first one, not as good as it could have been, but it is what it is, a popcorn action flick. Just turn off your brain and enjoy.

Phil_Sump's rating:

People who added this item 38  Average listal rating (21 ratings) 5.5  
18. Fantastic Four (Single Disc Edition) - Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans, Julian Mcmahon, Michael Chiklis
If you take it for what it is then this film is a decent popcorn flick, a film for all ages.

23. Punisher: War Zone
Follows in suit with full on action. Very little character development also, but it has a lot of great full throttle action.

24. The Punisher [DVD] [2004] (2004)
What The Punisher is all about - pure action, not much of a story, but it's not that kind of movie so who cares.

25. Blade Trinity - Wesley Snipes, Jessica Biel, Ryan Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson, Parker Posey
I've heard really awful things about this movie, hense why I am yet to see it. still want to, so I can form my own opinion.

DC Comics

1998-Present
Another superb film by Christopher Nolan, story wise I didn't think it was quite as strong as it's predecessor, however it raps the trilogy up well and has some very memorable scenes.

Phil_Sump's rating:

A must see, one of the best comic book films without a doubt.



Amazing performance from Heath Ledger as Joker, R.I.P

30. Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
A great start to Christopher Nolan's Batman series, often forgotten because of the greatness of The Dark Knight, however this is well worth a watch itself.

38. 300 (2007)
Despite it being a fictionalised retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, I really enjoyed this, another great action film with some very memorable quotes. A must see if you're into your epic action films.

50. Men in Black (Collector's Series) (1997)
Technically 1997 but this is definitely the best of the MiB movies.

X-men, Iron Man, Batman and Watchmen are my favorite in this list. Great

Off to a good start. Don't forget the original Superman series of films starring Christopher Reeve, as well as the previous run of Batman films.

Cheers, think I'm gonna stick to the more modern ones for now though, but I'll think about it.

Do you plan to add movies like Kick Ass, Whiteout and Scott Pilgrim?
Great list by the way.
