I find that I hate every single one of these movies. I loved comics as a kid, but the movies are always bad. Even the "good ones" (Spider-Man, X-Men, etc) are just really poor excuses for terrible scripts and shitty CGI. Even Hellboy, which was done by one of my favorite directors, sucked.

i never read comics as a kid and i still loathe comic book movies. The only one i actually enjoyed was Hellboy. The X-men ones are ok, but nothing worth getting excited over. Does Sin City count as a comic book? I liked that one too.

I actually did like Sin City, so I guess that's an exception.

My best friend is a comic geek, and his wife is deaf so I always get dragged along to movies he wants to see. Batman Begins was good, and Iron Man had some really nicely done comedic dialog (and Robert Downy Jr, which helped make up for the uninteresting second half plot), but there really isn't much in the way of well-written superhero flicks.

that first superman is good

Batman Begins is good.

Also the first Blade.

I loved comics growing up and for the most part I love comic book movies.

The way I see it, some dumb action spectacle will occupy the "summer blockbuster" months and I'd rather see the things I loved as a kid come to life on screen than the latest Will Smith crap fest.

Sure some of them are hit or miss but there have been some I really loved, namely the first two Spiderman movies and Batman Begins. Iron Man was a lot of fun, though not really a character that I was into or attached to so that helped. I'm pretty sure the Dark Knight will meet expectations as well.

i don't know why people praise the first to Spideys so much... sure, they're not bad, but both both first watches i had of each i was really disappointed

I remember after seeing the first full length trailer for Spidey 2, that wow, it looked so epic in scale that it was gonna make Spidey 1 look like a college student's short film. And then.... bleh. Sure it's great that they bothered to get a real actor's actor to play Doc Ock, but then the role was extremely underwritten, I thought. It's like they've been so concerned with just trying to get I guess like the structure correct for the stories, considering they're trying to incorporate so much different mythology as they can, that they forgot to actually try and have listenable dialogue thru the scenes.

This one should be pretty easy to explain, it felt exactly like I remembered the comics being. The tone was perfect and everything else was secondary.

Batman 1989 fuckers

I hear Thor is in the works..I'd love that to be amazing..dunno what kind of storyline they can get together for this but DiCaprio & Brad Pitt are being considered..

Good movie, pwned by Batman Begins.

Maybe we're expecting too much. I mean, these are COMIC BOOK movies, guys. It's just like the last Indiana Jones: movies like these are just supposed to be a bit of fun, not populated by interesting story lines or character interaction. Stop overthinking it.

I saw Dick Tracy when I was like 8 and thought it was ok.

Totally.

That part in the first Spiderman when he swoops down into traffic near the end and there's that big swell in the music gets me every single time.

I was never into comic books as a kid, but I did get into 'graphic novels' last year and have been reading some of the most famous. In terms of recent movies, I loved Batman Begins and Sin City. I liked Spiderman, Spiderman 2, 300. Iron Man was an OK movie, but there wasn't a lot there in terms of plot. Also, I just don't think he's my type of superhero: guns and bombs and whatnot. I'm also really excited for The Watchmen and especially The Dark Knight.

300 sucks
