I can't believe people are so high on Spiderverse.  

I had it as #8. Only Spider-Man movie to make my list.  Animation is mind blowing (3rd is so so so good). Finally a Miles story. Features the only Peter Parker I can relate to. (Sorry not sorry. I was never a fifteen year old boy who suddenly had a problem spurting white sticky goo everywhere.). Great, great film.

It's on my list but lower.  I'd rank it 3rd or 4th in SM movies.  

 

I like Miles but find him less interesting and entertaining than Peter and that holds true in his own film where he's outshone by two Peter Parkers and a few other other Spiderlings (Porker, Noir & Gwen).  Loved his father and that relationship though the subplot with his murderer Uncle left me cold. Visually is where it truly excelled.

btw it's important to recognize that Spider-Verse features a Nazi-fighting Nic Cage with a goofy accent. How can a movie that features that not be a masterpiece?

Because it isn't. Spider-Verse is proof some people just care about visuals and not story. Give it a generic animation style and I guarantee its praise would be lower. It has one of the least compelling character arcs for a Spider-Man movie, and it's telling that the part of the plot that people love the most is the third act action. Keep in mind I *like* the movie and would probably place it somewhere in my top 25 CBMs

That's not true at all. It has a tighter screenplay than any funnybook film of the last decade, and Peter's arc in it is the most compelling that character's had since 2004.

It may have some familiar beats but then again most superhero movies do, it’s the likable characters and a great script that make the movie stand out. To be fair, I think Miles character arc in it is better than Holland’s arc and definitely Garfield’s arc as Spider-Men.

It is the best Spider-Man film...and I've watched them all...

 

[Plain Old Tele]

I think I’ve now seen only half of the Spidey movies (less than half if you include the team-up movies).

For me at least, it's a rare movie that I watch and I'm pretty much entertained in every scene and totally on board. I don't think it's fair to ignore the visuals as they were really good and a big part of the appeal.

[Legion Again]

I might have preferred Spider-verse as live action, the animation had its pros and cons.     

 

My top 5 was Russos and Spiderverse though, just an excellent, emotional, well-paced story with great characters. Bit predictable, but that’s how it goes when you’re making movies for kids 🤷‍♂️

someone took a big L don't know how that felt

Nah Spider-Verse was fantastic. Had some real heart and emotion behind it.

Logan (2017)

Directed by James Mangold

Based on "Old Man Logan" by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven

(201 Points, 40 Votes)

 

"Logan, you still have time."

 

Number 2 Placements: 4

Top 4 Placements: 8

Top 6 Placements: 12

Top 10 Placements: 22

Awards Count: Nominated for 1 Oscar

Box Office: 226.3m (230.4m Adjusted)

Metacritic: 77

Synopsis: In 2029 the mutant population has shrunken significantly due to genetically modified plants designed to reduce mutant powers and the X-Men have disbanded. Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he keeps hidden away. One day, a female stranger asks Logan to drive a girl named Laura to the Canadian border. At first he refuses, but the Professor has been waiting for a long time for her to appear. Laura possesses an extraordinary fighting prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is pursued by sinister figures working for a powerful corporation; this is because they made her, with Logan's DNA. A decrepit Logan is forced to ask himself if he can or even wants to put his remaining powers to good use. It would appear that in the near-future, the times in which they were able put the world to rights with razor sharp claws and telepathic powers are now over.

Critic Opinion: "On its own terms, Logan is a crackerjack piece of work: The dialogue is crisp, the staging snappy, and the action scenes really pop. One of those scenes is screamingly perverse — a bit in which Logan turns a Las Vegas suite into a charnel house when a group of killers is frozen in place by the apocalyptic emanations from Charles Xavier’s synapses. But when my 14-year-old daughter — who I won’t let see the movie right now — said, “But Dad, did you like it?” I couldn’t give her a simple yes or no. I can’t remember the last time a blockbuster has left me so ravaged — and I’m including Rogue One, which at least ended with the word, “Hope.” My freak-out isn’t just about what happens to the characters. It’s the country in which they live and die that ushers in the nightmares. If this is the superhero movie that most accurately evokes how we live now, we’re in even more trouble than I thought." - David Edelstein, Vulture

User Opinion: "Definitely the best "finale" of a superhero franchise ever. Perfect daddy-daughter bonding movie, loved every minute of it :wub:" - @DAJK

Commentary: Coming in right outside of the top 5 is the highest ranking of the X-Men movies.  Logan goes the Deadpool R-Rating route, but in the complete opposite direction tonally, and what you get is the best mainstream comic book deconstruction film out there right now.  Logan takes elements of a classic Western and takes an inner look at the deeper struggles of the Wolverine character that were never able to be truly explored well in the PG-13 films.  Logan is one of the boldest takes a mainstream studio has done with one of their long running heroes.  It'd be hard to imagine there'll be many more movies like it.
