Regardless of genre, are Ant-Man, Iron Man and Spider-Man (2002) the best three origin/original hero films this century to date?
Probably but a good argument could be made for these...
Thor
Captain America The First Avenger
Michael Clayton
The Lincoln Lawyer
The Bourne Identity
The Town
X-Men First Class
Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
TASM (2012) is better than Spider-Man (2002).
shareAbsolutely it is.
"Oh they didn't tell you who I am? I'm Dewey ***damn Crowe. So have a nice day and kiss my ass."
I beg to differ! So does IMDb (according to the ratings) Spiderman 2003 brought in the hero franchise and was great. I'd rather watch that then 10 minutes of hipster spider man skateboarding for an introduction, but to each their own. What did you like more about amazing spider man than raimi's spiderman?
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Spider-Man was 2002 and then Spider-Man 2 was 2004. Both FAR better than the crap Webb delivered in those reboots.
shareNo *beep* way.

Ehem.. Batman Begins
The red capes are coming, the red capes are coming.
Which I almost fell asleep through.
shareI think Batman Begins is the best, Iron Man second, and Spider-Man third.
I wouldn't even put Ant-Man fourth. I prefer the story of skinny Steve Rogers and how he becomes Captain America.
But Ant-Man doesn't have to be the best. It just has to be good. And it is.
Batman Begins was solid but nothing more. It was fine in it's day but doesn't hold up that well today. It's in the next class with movies like Oz The Great and Powerful and Snow White and The Huntsman.
shareWTF? It doesn't hold up well to you because it's the anti-Marvel movie. It's hold on realism. It's not an adventure/comedic movie like Marvel's movies. The action doesn't drive the film
If I don't reply, you're most likely on my ignore list
Begins was the ONLY one with any realism. After that, the other ones are filled with mistakes, plot holes, bad film making and stupidity. Also, just because it isn't CGI doesn't mean it is realistic. Falling out of a skyscraper onto a car, and both of them are ok? Pump some blood into a guy's arm before he goes splat and you'll fool the CIA?
Sherlock Holmes isn't an origin story. The characters were well established at the opening shot.
shareBut it was his first film in that particular incarnation. It'll be like the new Spider-Man or what Marvel did with Incredible Hulk. Even The Book of Eli. It establishes a universe if not a particular character trait.
shareKeeping it to super hero movies. (I don't know how you can call stuff like Michael Clayton an origin story but I digress)
1.Iron Man
2. Spiderman 2002
3. Captain America The First Avenger
Not a fan of what Nolan did to Batman. Ant-Man wasn't very good.
Captain America The First Avenger
How can you not love all three but for different reasons. Iron Man is the most sound. Spider-Man the most beloved. Ant-Man the most fun.

Batman Begins and Man of Steel are fantastic origin movies
