This has been a great year for sequels and an even greater year for superhero movies as a whole. For those of us that have loved comic books all of our lives, it was time to do an update with the DVD Patrol team. Some of the team have been here for awhile like the Toddster, Jeff and Brian. Others like Shawn and Kevin (just want to welcome him in and this is his first teamup!) might not have had the chance to let us know what they like. Don’t forget all these movies are now available on DVD with “Marvel’s The Avengers” being released this week. Here are a few choices the guys had and I had to throw in my new personal favorite.

Spider Man

It’s been years since I’ve seen a good superhero movie derived from the wonderful world that is Marvel comics, though rest assured, there have been plenty of bad ones to fill the void of time. What was the one good among the ever growing pile of bad? I’m going with “Spider-Man,” which claimed box office success when it hit the silver screen in the summer of 2002.

I’ll admit, Spider-Man has always been far removed from my list of favorite super heros, but when it comes to nerdy college-age students who instantly gain superpowers when bitten by a genetically mutated insect, Spider-Man takes the cake.
