    Wow, Pathfinder made to the bottom 10 already? I only just found out about that movie.

    And someone tell me how the hell Elektra rates *lower* than Catwoman?

    I know Elektra was bad, but was it really in the same league as Catwoman?

    I don’t think so. Catwoman is completely unwatchable. Elektra isn’t that bad… I mean, you have to be able to watch the movie before you poke fun at it…

    I’m disappointed that Akira and The Crow didn’t make it into the top 10

    I have to say that “League” isn’t that bad.. People will obviously bash it for its deviation from the comic storyline, but “Ghost World” took as much creative license, and is still great (just different).

    BTW, Where’s “The Crow” and “Hellboy”?
