Era of the great comic book movies at an end

Posted on by

Judging reviews of “Fantastic Four”, which will bomb, and by the reviews of “Elektra”, I predict we’ll be seeing less comic book movies being produced. Makes me sad. Hollywood seems to be thinking that movies simply based on comic books, while giving their characters no respect, will sell. They won’t. I’m not going.

I will be going to see “Batman Returns” today however. I think it would be ironic if DC based characters suddenly made a comeback by taking into account the real lessons of success for Spiderman and X-Men – heroes are three dimensional.

  1. I just found out that the graphic novel ‘V for Vendetta’ is being made into a film starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving. I absolutely loved the novel and I’m mixed about Portman. But I’ll wait until I see some previews.

    When I saw the preview for ‘Fantastic Four’ I think I gagged in the movie theater it looked so horrible. And ‘Elektra’ and that Ben Affleck one – it didn’t even seem like they tried to make a real movie [not like I actually bothered to see those two].

    Did you see ‘Sin City?’ – that was aweseome.

  2. I haven’t seen Sin City in the theatre. Guess I’ll have to wait for the DVD darn it.
