20 Most Critically Adored Comic Book Movies

1. Dredd

Heath Ledger Joker
Lionsgate

Rating: 78%

Karl Urban’s portrayal of iconic British comic character Judge Dredd in 2012’s eponymous movie gave the character an exciting new opportunity, especially after the mess that was 1995’s Sylvester Stallone film. Sadly, there hasn't yet been a sequel, but there are rumblings about a second part being in the works.

The tone perfectly captured the tone of the comic book, and the modern reinterpretation has breathed new life into the fascinating character.
