I like some of them, but there are some that should just never have been made.

How do you guys feel about the Incredibles?
This is not a remake (for once) and I think it will be awesome.

I think you all are just rightfully frustrated by the lack of originality coming out these days.

Am I wrong or right?

I like the superhero movies, but that's because I'm a huge comic book geek.

Wow, what a constructive topic!
You know, if you are tired of them, just don't go see them that's all! Some people loves them and some people don't but nobody ever obligated you to see them!

I don't mind super hero movies, but it just boggles my mind how they are able to consistently screw them up when they often have decades of material to draw from. In my opinion, the only good super hero movies have been Superman, Blade, X2, and Spider Man 2. The first X-Men was ok, although I didn't like Spidey 1 at all. Macy Gray? :rolleyes:

And it's not like they're overly complicated, yet the movie always has to fu<biga>ck up their origin in some way.

Was there a reason why Frank Castle's cousins, nephews, uncles, aunts, great grandma, etc. had to be killed when it was just his wife and kids in the comics? Why set the story in Florida when The Punisher is based in New York? Why do they make him an alcholic when the Punisher is all about keeping himself in top physical/mental condition?

I admired The Hulk for wanting to tell a story rather than just have a bunch of mindless action, but if there was any movie that could have JUST been mindless action, this would have been it. Guy gets exposed to gamma rays that make him turn into a big green monster whenever he gets angry, then the army chases him with lots of firepower. Simple, really. And fun. They could have included the psychological stuff without making it the focal point of the movie.

All 4 Batman movies have sucked. They weren't even about Batman himself. He was a supporting character in his own movies! At least Batman Begins is going to explore how Batman is a complete lunatic.

Daredevil? Ugh. The movie was ruined by the time Affleck and Garner had their fight/foreplay scene in the park. Are you gonna tell me that no one found it weird that a blind guy could hold his own in a martial arts fight, or that they wouldn't find it repugnant that a woman would try to fight a blind man in the first place? I know it's New York City, but as big of ass<biga>holes as New Yorkers are, I doubt even they would stand for that.

And now I read that in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, they are making Dr. Doom's armor a part of his biological make-up! Forget the fact that Doom is a genius almost as smart as Mr. Fantastic, he's just a CEO with metal skin now...not the ruthless Monarch of Latveria. [img]graemlins/yuk.gif[/img]

Dont let all the bad super-hero movies make you not like them. Thats like saying you dont like food because you hate broccoli.

I am the only person that I know of that liked The Hulk.....Daredevil was bad........X2, Blade 1 and 2, Batman 1 and 2, and with a few were good.

But we are along way away from the end of comic book movies. So get used to it! [img]graemlins/yummy.gif[/img]

Totally. An actual fresh idea out there!
With all the remakes and sequels in theaters, it is nice to see some original stuff.
