Batman Forever over Spider-Man 3?
List automatically invalid.
Edit: Oh hell, it gets worse.
Sorry dude, but I agree with that!
Batman 3 wasn't perfect, but it was far better than that crap emo-fest of Spiderman 3!
I always enjoyed Jim Carrey as the Riddler!

I can't get past the fact that there are 50 superhero movies even worth talking about...
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
R.I.P.
Chyll - Bydand - Violynce - Enyrgos - Rylle - Nephryte - Solyd - Fettyr - Hyposhock - Styrling - Beryllos - Rosyc
Horryd - Myriam - Dysquiet - Ghyr
Vanysh - Eldrytch
Inflyct - Mysron - Orphyn - Dysmay - Reapyr - - Wyldeman - Hydeous
No idea why those X-movies get consistently higher ratings than they deserve.
Also Spiderman 3, while bad, is still in a different and better league than anything touched by Joel Schumacher except The Lost Boys.

According to that list, films better than Iron Man 2 include Sky High, Super Girl, X-Men 3, Wanted, Green Lantern, Fantastic Four (which is somehow higher than it's much superior sequel) Superman Returns, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 1966 Batman and Daredevil... I mean, c'mon...
No My Super Ex-Girlfriend? Fail.
Bear in mind these were voted for by SF fans, it's not SFX fault if people prefered other films!
I was a little shocked at how low Iron man 2 was though, tbf. Saying that, Whiplash was a crappy villain.

Batman Forever is only "ok" when compared to Batman and Robin! Compared to any other comic movie (hell even Daredevil) it is pure steaming garbage. When you score a actor of Tommy Lee Jone's ability and totally waste him as a second-rate sidekick to Jim Carrey of ALL people you should be banned from making a theatrical release film EVER again.|

And How the hell Did IM2 rate below X:Men Wolverine and Superman Returns and SUPERGIRL???? Are they serious? That list is nothing more than a X-men/DC fanboy #$&%*%-@#$%!

Ya, replace Ghost Rider on the list with My Super Ex-Girlfriend and the list would make a lot more sense.|

Seriously, Ghost Rider appearing on a top 50 list (other than a top 50 worst movies list, that is)?

It was all voted on. So really I'm a bit more suprised to see what made it on the list than anything else.
I love the Crow and consider it one of the best, I'm just a bit suprised that other people remembered it, as it usually seems to be forgotten untill mentioned then people are all "Oh yeah."
Never even heard of that Captain Invincilble musical movie.
Seeing as how this was based all on votes, I can go with the rankings, in so much as I don't agree with Superman being #2, as I think many of the newer movies are better than it.

Indeed, I think the issue will be more in how it's scored, really. No system will ever please everybody, so these things are often heavily debated, and it's always a matter of taste, really.
I've no doubt not many would place Supergirl above Iron Man, but enough people have a high enough love to for it to place it highly and this it scores highly as a result. Iron man 2 had enough detractors that didn't vote for it to make it lower down, I guess.
I'd be interested to see how it was scored and how close the numbers were to each other.

Frikkin love Captain Invincible. And its NOT a musical. Thats what makes the musical scene with Christopher Lee so mind bendingly brilliant |

Ok, this very well be my perception of things being off, but I just don't get Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor and Green Lantern being called 'b-list' superheoes by that article.

I could understand them calling Iron Man, Thor, and Green Lantern B-list by average person on the streets standards, but if they're managing a list like this, they probably shouldn't use those standards. >.>

Interesting, I've seen all of them except for 8, and those are all either ones I've never heard of, or came out in the past few years. I think it's a pretty good list... except for the ever growing trend of having these things on way too many pages. Do they really need a page just to list #30 The Incredible Hulk?!
Batman Forever at least gave us an entertaining Riddler and Val Kilmer was a decent Batman.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine over Blade II?
Nope.

Iron Man 2 and Sky High need to be a lot higher on that list.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Oh, I remember what I thought was an omission - I thought that between Sky High and Zoom - Academy of Superheroes, that Zoom was the funnier movie.

Zoom?
The mind boggles!

Voted for by the fans as well
Actually a damn good list with some nice additions I never thought of, nothing really I'd argue, except maybe to swap 2 and 3
