Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I salivate over ones that feature Jessica Alba, yet somehow, I'm almost always disappointed in them.

Sin City being the obvious exception.

I did like the Batman with Nicholson in it.  Forgot that one.   And the first one with Christian Bale was decent but nowhere near as good as the one with Ledger.  Not even close.

i thought the first one was great.  keaton was surprisingly good as batman, basinger was hawt and nicholson played a great joker.  to me, it was somewhere between comic book batman and tv show batman.  after that, they all went down hill and took more of a tv show/kiddie comic approach. 

the more recent productions seem to have followed more of the comic book's darker perspectives.  i haven't seen either of the 2 new ones though so i'm just basing that on what i've seen in previews.

Batman with Keaton really aged horribly, but i'll watch it every day, it was so good when it came out.  Reminds me of Memorial Day back in 1990, and going to see it at the movies in OC

spiderman 3 was probably the worst movie ever created. 2 was pretty bad too. One was alittle above average for comic movies.

Sin City has to be the most creative comic ever created and my fav
X-men 1-2
The Crow
300
New Batmans
Predator

They are my tops that I can think of at the moment...

They're out for blood. Girl blood!

Sin City had an interesting style, but it was a total cheesefest. Not quite Batman & Robin cheese, but certainly worse than Blade 3 cheese.

the thing i loved about sin city (aside from jessica alba) was the fact that the production of it very much kept a comic book feel to it, something that pretty much every other comic book turned movie has failed to do.

Daredevil tried it in about three scenes, then said farg it.

The man. The myth. The legend.

i was probably sleeping during all 3 of those scenes.  what a horrible movie that was.

There was one interesting aspect to that movie, and that was time travelling to the 1950s to get a guy with that face shape to play the drunken boxing father.

The man. The myth. The legend.

I don't know how I forgot to mention Constantine, but there, I mentioned it.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

If we're going to go ahead and mention every comic book movie, we might as well throw in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which was butchered all to hell.

I never knew The Crow was based on a comic book.  Brandon Lee was awesome in that movie - plus the scene where he caused the smack to bubble out of the waitress/hooker/mom's veins is highly cool.  There was a lot to love about that movie - the black hit man, the freaky incestuous asian sister, the music... pretty much all of it was great.
