For those saying Daredevil are you talking about the theatrical release or the director's cut.
The theatrical release was horrid. But, the director's cut of the film is probably my all-time favorite superhero movie.

Although that being said I still say they remake it with a better lead as it was obvious Ben Affleck wasn't comfortable or a right choice to play Daredevil and same goes for Garner as Elektra. A new movie with better casting and a darker tale would be great, As the Frank Miller Daredevil stories are so good and I feel would give Dark Knight a run for it's money keep the main villains too of Kingpin and Bullseye but just work on the script and make it grittier, dirtier and basically be noir-ish but still keep a little of the superhero aspect of the character.

Watchmen weirds me out in that there's a crowd that absolutely hates it, and then there's a crowd that loved it. I'm in that camp, it was pretty much a direct translation of the graphic novel with only one major change, and I was happy with that. Soundtrack was great too. Just commenting on that. Second, it's weird too because I'd really like to know what they didn't like about it but never seem to get a really straight answer. Anyhoo, I'll vote for Spiderman 3. Of what I've seen from the list, it's the only one that really got me angry.

Of what I've seen from the list, it's the only one that really got me angry. Basically I hated Watchmen because the whole mood and theme of the movie was totally off. Something about just seemed wrong, it looked good and contained a lot of stuff in the comic but it just felt completely wrong, I don't know if it was the acting or the directing but it just didn't work also there was very little feeling that the world was in utter jeopardy and Oxymandias did his actions to save humanity as that was a huge point in the book, but was made to feel like a very minuscule part of the movie. Also Niteowl beating the crap out of Ozymandias made very little sense and making him so heroic completely undid the movie for me as the point was he's a guy who goes with the flow, who dosen't make a huge moral stand and so that was bad, If anything they should have made Ozymandias feel more heroic since he is doing to save humanity and sees himself as the new Alexander the Great and yet in the movie everything about him screamed villain of the movie and made his inner struggle of killing some people to save the world non-important and completely glanced over. Also giving Doctor Manhattan's lines at the end to Silk Spectre and Niteowl was awful. It's small stuff like that ruined this movie. They did try but Watchman was a lot of subtle actions that makes it an amazing read, really it just doesn't lend itself to a theatrical movie at all. Maybe a mini-series could worked but a movie? No and especially not by Zach Snyder who really missed the entire point of the graphic novel by focusing on making the characters too cool when that's the opposite point. So basically it was number one an uphill battle to be good in the first place with all the expectations of this as it is viewed as one of the best graphic novels ever made and the limitations of being in a 2hr 30 minute movie and than completely misinterpreting the message of the book and botching most of the characters in the movie. So basically that why I despised this movie.

X-Men 3 was the onyl one I truly hated.
Spirit was terrible, but it giving me a bad trip was nothing compared to the rage I had for X3.
Spideman 3 was rough too, but less so.
Batman and Robin has been repressed into my subconcious.
I actually liked Steel.

I know it gets a good bit of flack from fanboys but I always thought that Michael Clarke Duncan made a very good Kingpin. Never bothered me that he was black while Kingpin in the books is a white dude, he did a darn good job. I've always wondered what could have been had Fox not screwed the movie over in the theatrical release.

I'm part of the love Watchmen movie and I actually prefer the movie ending to the graphic novel. Just love the whole feel to the movie and enjoy it.
Despite the hate, I also enjoy Van Helsing, which I'm surprised no one has mentioned as the least favorite. To me it was like watching a Castlevania movie (if they were to make one).
I really can't stand Spiderman 3, just found myself bored during the movie.

I too enjoyed Van Helsing, although I don't see the Castlevania comparison, I do see some similarities (btw, from what I remember, they are making a Castlevania movie). It was just a good classic horror monsters flick done today, plus it had Kate Beckinsale in it, which made it 1000x better for me.

X3, definitely - such a letdown for a film that could have offered so, so much.
