Spider-Man Strikes Back (Spiderman: The Deadly Dust) (1978,  Unrated)
Spider-Man Strikes Back (Spiderman: The Deadly Dust)
For me, the 1970s Spider-Man live action movies were great fun. I looked back on it with a lot of fondness and nostalgia. Someone unfamiliar with the series may not like it, but then again, you might if you know what to expect.
Despite its low-budget and lack of supervillains, I think the film still felt like an "epic" adventure. The acting was solid all the way around even if the 70s clothing styles may make you laugh.
I think Nicholas Hammond was a great choice to play Peter Parker / Spider-Man and the rest of the cast is good. The wall-crawling, web-slinging and fight scenes are solid.

Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge (The Chinese Web) (1979,  Unrated)
Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge (The Chinese Web)
This late 1970's based on Marvel comic book TV movie is one of my favourites and was amazing with some extremely cool fight scenes. There were no supervillains in this series which was a good thing because it made the whole thing more believable. Parker (played very well by Nicholas Hammond) changes into Spider-Man loads of times in this movie and really goes into action. Spider-Man suffers quite a bit in this film (he is shot twice) and it's also great to see Parker doing his detective routine in this film.
In those days before CGI they could have stunt men hanging by wires, the camera could be tilted, blue screen could be employed, but no matter what they tried it just wasn't going to look like the comics.

Captain America II: Death Too Soon (1979,  Unrated)
10
Howard the Duck (1986,  PG)
Howard the Duck
Howard the Duck's hilarious and a part of hero based on the Marvel comic book. This was probably the first movie in mainstream Hollywood history to depict interspecies sex, with Lea Thompson putting out the giant duck.
11
The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988,  Unrated)
12
The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989,  Unrated)
The Trial of the Incredible Hulk
One of this Incredible Hulk TV movies is average, but I'm such a fan of the Marvel characters as well as the big green hero terrified me when I was a kid on the TV series. And it was quite good to catch the first live-action look at Daredevil (in the black costume - didn't make sense to me) and his interactions with David Banner.
Bill Bixby gives a decent performance as the down-trodden, world-weary David Banner, a man persecuted for his alter-ego yet still determined to do the right thing. Rex Smith also delivers in his role as Matt Murdock, giving those not familiar with the character a glimpse of what he could do, and John Rhys Davies excels as always as the Kingpin.
13
The Punisher (1989,  R)
The Punisher
Dolph Lundgren's really tough and dangerous in his title role on this action movie.
14
The Death of the Incredible Hulk (1990,  Unrated)
The Death of the Incredible Hulk
It's a shame this was director/star Bill Bixby's final movie to The Incredible Hulk series.
I like the fact that they made this kind of like a spy thriller. A good conclusion to the Bixby/Ferrigno Hulk saga. This is a well written and acted finale which brings the story to an end, and while it's sad it's not disappointing. In fact it's quite fitting. After David Banner/Hulk's apparent death, the program's makers were planning for the next Hulk TV movie. Unfortunately, it was never filmed because Bixby was illness and diagnosed with prostate cancer in early 1991 and died two years later.

Captain America (1990,  PG-13)
Captain America
The role of Captain American and his nemesis Red Skull look worst.
16
The Fantastic Four (1994,  PG)
17
Generation X (1996,  Unrated)

Blade (1998,  R)
Blade
I'm a fan of Wesley Snipes and he's cool as a modern black and dangerous vampire hunter based on a Marvel comic book.

Nick Fury: Agent of Shield (1998,  Unrated)
20
X-Men (2000,  PG-13)
X-Men
Awesome Marvel's mutants movie of 2000's.
21
Spider-Man (2002,  PG-13)
Spider-Man
I am a very fan of Marvel's superhero and loved that movie better than late 1970's TV series.
22
Blade II (Blade 2) (2002,  R)
Blade II (Blade 2)
More coolest action than the original - new breed of vampires.
23
Daredevil (2003,  PG-13)
Daredevil
Ben Affleck has a great performance as this title role. More excitement and action and I like the Director's Cut version on DVD.
24
X2 (2003,  PG-13)
X2
Incredible adventure-sci-fi with few more new mutants and awesome fight scenes between Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike.
25
Hulk (2003,  PG-13)
Hulk
The CGI of Hulk character looks incredible in the movie. Two thumbs up!
26
The Punisher (2004,  R)
The Punisher
This new Marvel anti-hero seems better than Dolph Lundgren's 1989 film because of the costume and non-stop action.
27
Spider-Man 2 (2004,  PG-13)
Spider-Man 2
The best scene of Spidey fighting against Doc Octopus on the train. The story is really familiar to Marvel comic books I read when I was a kid - excellent.
28
Elektra (2005,  PG-13)
Elektra
Jennifer Garner's okay as Marvel's femme fatale since a spin-off of Daredevil (2003).
29
Fantastic Four (2005,  PG-13)
Fantastic Four
Great special effect and powerful fun of Marvel movie.
30
Man-Thing (2005,  R)
31
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006,  PG-13)
X-Men: The Last Stand
Fantastic action/adventure Marvel movie I ever saw than the sequels. Great special effects and battle between X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil.
32
Ghost Rider (2007,  PG-13)
Ghost Rider
This is getting more exciting than the director's latest Marvel movie, Daredevil. The scenes of Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) who transforms into Ghost Rider look fantastic with cool special visual and effects including his 'hell-motorcycle'. The locations where this movie was filmed are familiar around at my hometown, Melbourne, pretending to be called Texas, USA.
33
Spider-Man 3 (2007,  PG-13)
Spider-Man 3
AMAZING... THEN SPECTACULAR! Excellent and exciting with plenty of fast motion actions in Spider-Man's next adventures against his three new villians better than the sequels. The characters in this film give me great memories from the following Marvel comic books I read that director Sam Raimi does an excellent job. I like the final battle of Spidey teaming up with the New Goblin against his two dangerously villians. The visual and special effects are much as spectacular. Tobey Maguire remains a perfect fit as ever for the humility and heroies we associate with the title character.
34
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007,  PG)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
This sequel of Marvel Comics' superheroes team is more excitement adventure and funny than the first one including The Silver Surfer is cool. This movie does follow in the first appearance of silver dude on a space-travelling surfboard in Fantastic Four #48 comic book. Fantastic Four keep kicking their dangerously arch enemy Doctor Doom's ass off again.
35
Iron Man (2008,  PG-13)
Iron Man
Marvelous! Fantastic MARVEL superhero in the action like Spider-Man and X-Men. The story in this action-adventure film is 100% correct in the following MARVEL comic book at the present of what happened to a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor, Tony Stark, before he becomes a crime-fighter hero. It's an enjoyable believable fx achievement, part RoboCop, part Predator drone and part temperamental jalopy.

Iron Man comes with his own enjoyable strenghts and weaknesses in a fun film that also has a point of view. Robert Downey Jr. does a wonderful performance and absolutely casting as Stark/Iron Man since Chaplin. I hope Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau will return for the sequel.
36
The Incredible Hulk (2008,  PG-13)
The Incredible Hulk
This new version of Marvel Comics' green monster is more excitement and draws inspiration more from the 1970s TV series that makes sense to me and more better than Hulk. This story is not the sequel of Hulk because it's different from the beginning. And the CI Hulk is very different and little darker than the original - awesome! I'm hoping there will be the next sequel of The Incredible Hulk for the new enemy from this movie as well as I wanted the same cast.
37
Punisher: War Zone (2008,  R)
Punisher: War Zone
What I think of Ray Stevenson as the new title role from Thomas Jane (who played in the 2004 flick) is perfect and he's built like a machine in several action scenes.
This tale based on the Marvel comic book is essentially just death and destruction from the opening frame - and it's awesome! Dominic West is good as Jigsaw, but I felt he might have hammed it up a bit in a few scenes. His "Jigsaw" make-up looks great as creepy like the following The Punisher comic book as the anti-hero's arch-enemy.
38
X-Men Origins - Wolverine (2009,  PG-13)
X-Men Origins - Wolverine
Really fantastic and interested back story of Logan known as Wolverine from the beginning of how he discovered he becomes a mutant in his journey life before 2000's X-Men based in the following Marvel comic books. And other mutants are awesome including Sabretooth (played by Liev Schreiber is better than Tyler Mane in X-Men), Deadpool, Gambit (He is the best one of the X-Men characters in an appearance I ever saw - impressive), Wraith, Blob, young Cyclops, Emma Frost, Silverfox and more...
It has quick movement makes it easy to watch and entertaining and there's some surprisingly good comedic timing on Hugh Jackman's part for an action movie. Seriously though, it must have been a blast on the set during action sequences because they actually destroyed everything they possibly could: CGI, real and both.
