I want a fun ultra-violent superhero movie like Dredd or Robocop. What are my options?
The Toxic Avenger movies, Deadpool, the first Kick-Ass, Super... Did anyone bother to watch The Wolverine's R-rated cut?
Kickass and Deadpool are your only real options. I suppose Super, but it's not so much of a superhero movie.
Blade, Blade 2, The Crow, Darkman.

Sam Raimi directed it a decade before Spider-Man. Peter David described it as "the perfect super-hero film of all time" http://www.peterdavid.net/archives/001287.html
>Now let me make it clear here: "Perfect" is not, in this instance, to be considered synonymous with "good." Or "quality." "Perfect" is not defined herein as "in a state of undiminished or highest excellence." No, I'm speaking of my directory's first definition: "Complete of its nature or kind."
>The nature of this kind of movie is standard super-hero comic book. Other films have come close-- but they haven't had everything. They haven't been complete. Somewhere, in some aspect or other, they've been lacking.
>What's ironic, of course, is that Darkman is not based on any specific comic-book hero, although he's pretty much a combo of The Shadow and The Avenger, both from pulps, with Swamp Thing's origin thrown in for good measure, to wit: A scientist runs afoul of some bad guys and gets himself and his lab blown up. However, due to a homegrown skin project he's got cooking, he's able to reconstruct faces, including the bad guys' and his own. Swathing his face in bandages and a coat and hat Lamont Cranston left sitting around, he seeks vengeance. No specific hero, but an agglommeration.
>Because of that, Darkman is the first film, as I have said, to feature absolutely everything you find in your standard comic book. Everything. Even including the last line.

Not superhero but The Raid is very similar to Dredd

I've heard that said a lot but outside of the obvious superficial differences it's not really all that much alike.
does Deadpool count?
Watchmen, unnecessarily gory.
