Superhero Hype

Post by Larry The Pickle »

I was looking forward to the next batman film... until I heard that Justin Timberlake might be Two Face! :dumb:

And I am VERY dissapointed to find out that in X3, theres going to be a "hot stripper" character! ](*,)

What news do you have?

The first two X-men films were GREAT... but they have a new team working on the 3rd and it's looking more and more awful.

I had thought Two-Face wasn't going to be around until Batman 3, but I suppose they would need to introduce Harvey Dent in Batman 2.

JT in a movie? Yucky!

I like Elektra just because Jennifer G was in it. She's one of my favorite actresses, though I disapprove of her personal life...

Spiderman 1 & 2 were the greatest Marvel movies to date, followed by X-men. The next one I'm looking forward to is...S3. Other than that, Fantastic Four was good, funny and entertaining, but didn't follow the comic very closely.

Hey, I just noticed... why no Punisher, Daredevil, Constantine, Hellboy, Blade, or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in the poll? :(

hehe... Punisher was pretty good, LXG and Hellboy were decent, but it really aren't up to par with the others already on the poll... the others mentioned, well... ;)

But hey, CATWOMAN made it to the poll! That's like the worst movie ever! :D

Well, someone may have said that, but it's pretty much acclaimed as "best super hero movie ever" by most critics/common rabble, etc.

True, though I hated both Spiderman 1 and 2. I don't even know why, but just watching the movies I thought they weren't very good and I have no desire to rewatch them. :(

Though I think X-Men 2 was the best superhero film to date.

I have to admit to liking SM2 above the others... but Punisher and X-men 2 were right up there.

Too bad X-Men 3 is looking to be terrible. :(

I know, I hate that too... Superman is my favorite superhero, and I'm glad Bryan Singer is doing Superman Returns, but I wish he could have done both Superman Returns and X-men 3. :(

I haven't seen a lot of these movies, so I'll wait to vote until I do.

I'm glad to hear that Batman Begins is so awesome, because X-Men was kind of a bummer for me. The X-Men were once my favorite superheroes, so despite the moral flaws in the first one, I was really looking forward to X2-- until I heard about some of the stuff in it. I highly doubt I'll ever want to fill my head with that much garbage, so I highly doubt I'll ever watch X2.

I've been very happy with both of the Spiderman movies and look forward to the third one. They've both been more or less wholesome, and I love movies that don't leave me feeling like I've just eaten a ton of junk food. And the graphics and storyline and everything were good, too.

Elektra I have not seen, and have no desire to. Although I will say this: if the novel I'm writing were EVER made into a movie, I would want Jennifer starring in it.

I have yet to see Fantastic Four, but I really hope it's not trashy like X-Men. The human torch concerns me; he's sort of a bad boy (by my standards, at least), but he's so charming and adorable it's hard not to like him. He's the type of troublemaker I would have a hard time not getting involved with. That's just what I've seen in the commercials, though.

I'm writing my own story about a superhero, but I don't think it'll ever be made into a movie :-)
