    V, Sin City 1 (which was better than the comics in my opinion), and the first two X-Men movies. Number three sucked, but the first two were sweet.

    Call me a mainstream junkie, but I'm a huge fan of both Spider-Man films and am strongly looking forward to #3. But I just watched Superman Returns for the first time last night, and I've got to say I was blown away. The reviewers who cried out about stiff acting and Spacey being over the top must have been smoking crack, because this film was awesome. There were parts where I forgot I was watching Brandon Routh and almost thought it was Christopher Reeves up there, and having grown up on the Reeve's films, that's a very good thing to me.

    Personally, I wasn't disappointed in a single aspect of Superman Returns.

    With the proper lighting, Spacy does look like Reeve. Its kind of creepy thatway, but maybe they were going for a Superman look that can continue...

    The Hulk movie was awful. And they absolutely ruined Daredevil (Ben Affleck!?)

    They'll probably have another fop (like Ashton Kutcher) playing Thor.

    I saw Hellboy a while ago. A very underated film but highly enjoyable nether the less.

    The best film based ona comic book though has to be Batman (1989). Jack Nicholson is the Joker.

    So it was.

    I'm still waiting for the Peanuts movie, with real actors.

    But the one I'm most waiting for is the Transformers movie, should be comming out next year.

    The original Batman was a great movie, even though I like Batman Begins slightly more. Both movies portrayed Gotham City the way it was meant to be: a tired, bankrupt, crime-ridden city screaming for justice.
