Here's some more detailed scores for Roger Ebert's Comic Book Movie past - some surprises throughout - I suggest you check it out.

I know that I’m missing a few – maybe even some blatant ones. But there are just so many Comic Book Movies out there I couldn’t get em all off the top of my head. Feel free to find any I missed and post em.

Thanks everyone.

Some interesting notes –

- Ebert’s disdain for the old Batman movies.
- His props for The Phantom – WTF?
- Liking Ang Lee’s Hulk more
- Low score for X-Men 1
- High score for Spawn

Liking Ang Lee's Hulk more than letterers????? really????? 2.5 stars????? lol. that is kinda interesting that he liked it more. im guessing cuz it had a more character driven story unlike incredible hulk where it had a backstory, but u didnt connect with the characters as well.

which is what ebert likes. he seems to like being able to connect with characters which is important and i agree with completely, even tho i hated ang lees hulk lol.

good job kevin, for once me and you see eye to eye lmao

The movies I disagree with him on are:

1. Batman
2. Hulk
3. Incredible Hulk
4. Spiderman
5. Blade II
6. X3
7. 300

...other than these, I agree with him on everything else. He's usually spot on with his reviews, I think. I'm still going to see "Kick Ass," though. If it were anything else, I wouldn't go see it.

So according to him, Kick-Ass deserves 1 star..... like Catwoman???

He thought Spawn was better than X Men 2....... that is all:) Ah no, whatever, people like different stuff, I respect that he's being doing this for a long time and blah blah..I just don't personally like his taste in movies a lot of the time. And that Kick-Ass slating was hack behavior.

Ha! Rormachine:
I don't know why I seem to be replying to all your comments. Take it as a compliment I guess. Whatever.
Ebert has said that he doesn't think rating films against others has much merit. In other words, I doubt that he would say Spawn is better than X-men 2. More like he sees Spawn succeed more at what it is aimed for vs X-men 2 and what it was aimed for.
I did think X-men 2 was pretty...friggin...awesome...though. Not nearly as good as Episode 3 though ;Oooooooooo

Also:
Spawn sucks lots of wind, and the movie, I'm sure, doubly does so.

Ebert is wrong on some of these for sure though.
X-men 3...3 stars? Cannot imagine what he thinks he saw.
Daredevil...sucks. Once again, 3 stars? Movie suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!
