With the exception of spiderman 2 and xmen, those movies really don't pop to the front of the mind of the average movie goer

Well the average moviegoer is a retard, so that doesn't mean much. Average moviegoers like Transformers as evidenced by the box office numbers; doesn't mean it's not shite The hellboys are far better than most, if not all, recent comic movies.

You're in a minority and a very harsh critic.


People love to give comic book movies a pass for recycling tropes and being formualic just because they're comic book movies. I don't do that. If a movie sucks, it sucks. A lot comic book movies are vapid and poorly written CGI shitfests like Transformers, but they're apparently beyond reproach because of nostalgic superhero protagonists.

Just finished. Pretty fun movie. Really liked winter soldier and I'm glad they didn't ruin him.

Robert Redford really mailed it in, though. He was awful

kind of like Sam Raimi for you


Hellboy - a favorite
Kickass - good change of pace
Spiderman 2 - the "rain drops keep falling on my head" scene single handedly destroyed an otherwise average film.
X-men 2 - set the bar really low back in the day.

Well said Carson. I can't believe the amount of praise a lot of these mediocre comic book films get.

I started to write an "I disagree" post about how the problem is probably that you can't shut off your mind to stop over-analyzing movies, but when I got to the part about "sometimes people want the intensity of a Breaking Bad and sometimes they want 'Ow! My Balls!'" I began to realize how much of our TV and movies are "Ow! My Balls!". Now I am sad.
