Entertainment Weekly's 20 Worst Comic-Book Movies Ever.

Why the hate for The Shadow? I thought it was Alec Baldwin's finest role, at least until he got all doughy and discovered he had a gift for comedy.

Me, I'd have dropped The Shadow, Swamp Thing, Ghost Rider, and The Phantom from the list, and replaced them with Mystery Men, Batman and Robin, Batman and Robin, and Batman and Robin.

That can only be an improvement.

Thomas Jane's Punisher makes it on a list and Dolph Lundgren's Punisher does not? Crazy talk. Dolph's was MUCH worse.

I'd argue that Barb Wire, Barbarella, and Brenda Starr were all true to their source material and exactly as good as that material.

oh, and Constantine will always and forever be the #1 worst for me, because they took my favorite comic book and sucked the context out of it. Make your own dang psychic detective. Constantine is a) not in LA and b) not american and c) DID NOT quit smoking at the end of the storyline.

I can't even continue. It hurts my nerdy heart.

AGREED. For me, in a lot of ways, John Constantine IS London.

What keeps the movie off my list of the worst, however, is Tilda Swinton.

I quite enjoyed Ghost Rider, and I think they totally missed the point with Tank Girl.
