Note the word period. Meaning an era of history in the past of our world.
To qualify as a period film, a comicbook film must:
1) Be based on a comicbook property(duh).
2) The story must take place in the past. If there are sections set it in the present or future, they shouldn't be the main focus.
3) The film must be made years after the historical period it's trying to portray. So film serials made in the 40's starring superheroes set in WW2 don't count, since they're of the same time period.
So my favorite would have to be:
X-Men First Class - While I thought Days of Future Past was the better film, I thought First Class captured the look and feel of the swinging 60's era better. Plus, it was genius to mix in the X-Men's coming out party with that of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Other period comicbook movies I can think of:
X-Men Days of Future Past
300
Captain America: The First Avenger - Gotta love that Peggy Carter. :woot:
The Rocketeer - The film that got Joe Johnston the directing gig for Captain America.
The Shadow - Okay, technically it was a pulp novel series and radio drama first. But the Shadow did have a comic series before his 1994 film.
Road to Perdition - I thought this was a bad adaptation to be honest. I wish they'd kept the over the top violence of the graphic novel.
Watchmen
I'm sure I've forgotten some others. Please post more if you can.
