I'll admit it, I'm a superhero geek! Hold the phone, I haven't gone to the level of hoarding decades old comics! But I do love the movie remakes.

I bring this topic up in this post after watching the latest superhero movie, Ironman. To be honest, Ironman wasn't real high on my superhero popularity list. In fact, I knew very little about him. I guess I did know a few things: a) he was a man and b) that he surrounding himself in Iron. Robert Downey, Jr., who is one of my favorite actors, played Ironman in the big screen feature. The movie was a lot of fun and gave us a hint that their is more to come in this series. If you see the movie, make sure you watch all the way to the end of the credits!

As far as superhero movies are concerned, the original Superman (played by Christopher Reeve) is my all time favorite super hero movie. With great acting skill, he made the transistion from the goofy, nerdy Clark Kent to the man of steel. My favorite villian, Lex Luther, Superman's arch nemesis, was played by another of my favorite actor's Gene Hackman. And of course Lois Lane, played by Margot Kidder, was helpless, but intelligent, at the same time.

Here are my top superhero movies..
1) Superman I
2) Superman II
3) Spiderman
4) Spiderman II
5) Ironman
6) Batman Begins
7) Batman (played by Michael Keaton, Joker: Jack Nicholson)
8) Fantastic 4
9) X-Men
10) The Incredible Hulk (the new one looks great)

Let me know what you think and post your comment on your favorite superhero, or superhero movie!
