Super hero movies.Should they make more?

[Biggsy]

I have to admit that as a child I neva really read comic books but have always loved Super hero's. I have seen most of the movies and have loved all of them (was a bit let down by Dare Devil). Any way I love them and hope they continue to make more. Can I have your views please.

I agree!!!
More superman movies would be great although nobody could really replace Christopher Reeve!
Daredevil was terrible and to be honest I liked the first Spiderman but the second wasn't as good.
I have been repeatedly disappointed by the Batman movies but have high hopes for "Batman Begins".

You re right you cannot replace Christopher Reeve. I think to make a super hero movie work you need the exact person.  They haven t got there with batman yet. Didn t see Spiderman 2.  Thought Spiderman was a bit of a dark character.  For it to work you need a bit of lightness/comedy.

So long as the films continue to make money, Hollywood will trawl comic publishers for the next possible block-buster.

There is a Superman film on the way.

Books too, after the success of Lord of the Rings, we have the chronicles of Nania films to look forward to. I'm sure Hollywood is hoping they will be as popular as LOTR.

Biggsy- I'm with you - I love superhero movies. As a self-confessed comicbook nerd I've followed some of these characters for years. The Superman and Batman movies (well, the first 2 of each) were great in defining the idea of a hero and really brought the comics to life. Obviously there's been a load of non-starters (Anyone remember The Flash movies of the nineties?) but I think we've back on track over the last few years - the Xmen movies are fantastic and I really enjoyed Spiderman 1 and 2. With a 3rd of each series due to be made, a Wolverine spin-off in the pipeline, a new Superman movie and even Alan Moore's V for Vendetta being made for us grown-ups then it's feeling quite cool to be a nerd again!

I'm terrified they're going to mess up the Chronicles of Narnia, but the trailer looks good so hopefully it'll be ok.

Hmm, Thundercats movie?  Dunno how it'd work but it's be fun even if they aren't strictly speaking superheroes.

[Biggsy]

thank you all for your answers. I to loved the first 2 Batman films and realy enjoyed both Spider-man movies. The Thundercats would be a good idea but they tried with HE-MAN and ballsed that up also Dungeons and Dragons wot a load of SH1T. I am also realy looking foward to the next Spider Man movie and the next X-Men movie cant wait.

The X-Men films show that you can make interesting and entertaining superhero films ( I'm fairly sure the Director of the first two isnt doing the third one so watch this space ) You never know - James Cameron took over the Aliens franchise and came up with Aliens so you never know. Spiderman 2 was improvement on the first , tighter and with a fantastic Villain in Alfred Molina.

Then again there are the films like the Affleck flick mentioned above. I havent seen the Hulk , so I have to go on the trailers and feedback which was " its very wordy and the effects are too cartoony ". The upcoming Fantastic Four movie looks just average from the trailers

( Was it those Guys from the Orange Ads casting it? - Uh , We have the super hottie Jessica Alba and she's ...Invisible! )

The Superman film is a hard one to call - the stills of the costume look a little dodgy. Too early to tell - I hope its a cracker altho it will take something to match up to the early Christopher Reeve )

Ah , Batman . The franchise that Warners messed up by turning him into the camp crusader. Hopefully they have turned it around with the grittier new version. If only someone at Warners had a look at their animation section - who produced the much admired " Batman - The Mask of the Phantasm " ( now out on DVD , hurray! ). Trust me , watch this - this is how Batman should be done . OK , on occasion the animation is a little crude but the plot ( which sets up how Batman became Batman ) shows what a driven and tragic figure Batman really is. Bruce Wayne is the " fictional " character and the tortured Batman is the "real"identity in this version. Plus you have a carpet-chewing Joker voiced in superb form by noe other than Mark Hamill - AKA Luke Skywalker.

Oops - I have rambled on havent I? Fingers crossed for X-Men 3!

Whatever happened to the rumoured IronMan Film? Did it get shelved? I didn't think DareDevil was all that bad.
