Don't get me started on comic book adaptations! X-men and Spiderman have to be two of the worst films I have seen in recent years, X Men especially

I for one love seeing the comic book heroes I loved as a kid brought to life on the big screen. It's great to see how faithful hollywood is to a superheroes or supervillians origins, powers, and weaknesses. The greatest comic book movie still remains, in my opinion, the first Batman movie. it was nearly perfect! showing how The Joker made Batman and how Batman made The Joker, how Bruce Wayne was just as much of a psycho as the criminals he fought (why else would a millionaire/playboy put on a bat costume and fight crime at night? he must have something not right in the head). I think XMen 2 is a close second. Spiderman was pretty good, but Spidey 2 was a little too "talkey" and had holes in the plot. I'm looking forward to seeing Silver Surfer, and Fantastic Four, but I'm not getting myhopes up for the Electra movie. Nothing will ever compare the the Frank Miller Daredevil/Electra storyline. I bet Hollywood cartoons her up. but I hope not. sean "letting my geek flag fly" deason ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
