Superhero/Comic book Character Films

Filed under: Uncategorized — ltimbs @ 9:23 p04

I used to watch Superheroes as cartoons when I was younger.  I also used to read the comic books.  Now I see all of my childhood superheroes brought to life in movies.  Some are successful and others aren’t.  I find myself to be bored by many of them.  What Superhero/Comic book characters were your favorite growing up?  Do you like the movies that transformed them to real life characters?

 I really enjoyed Spider-Man (and all of its sequels).  This film was ranked number eight-teen on the All-Time Worldwide Box Office.  It made $806,700,000 at the box office (http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region=world-wide).  I think this film was great.  I loved everything about it.  It was fun and exciting.  It brought me back to when I was a kid watching the cartoon episodes.  I also enjoyed Spider-Man 2.  This movie was also very successful.  It was ranked number twenty-two on this list making $783,577,893(http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region=world-wide).  I liked Fantastic Four, Batman (1989), Batman & Robin, Batman Forever, and X-Men.  These are the films that really kept me interested throughout the whole movie.

I really do not like Hulk.  This was one film that I really thought that I was going to enjoy.  I must have watched the first thirty minutes of this film before I started to fall asleep.  I completely hated everything about it.  Although it made $241,700,000 (http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region=world-wide) at the box office, I was not a fan. 

Even though I was a fan of Superman growing up, I never bought into the idea of the movie.  I have seen Catwoman and it was just an OK movie.  It didn’t really impress me.

It will be interesting to see what new films will be made about superheroes.  I hope it’s not another disapointment.

  1. There are so many new movies coming out that are about the superheroes from when we were younger. Such as Speed racer, Batman, and Iron man. I would like to see all of them because the graphics are so cool. But on the other hand there is like to many coming out now. Are they going to make a movie bout every superhero the idea kind of gets old.

  2. when i was growing up i loved the girl characters in xmen and also loved batman and robin. i also loved the movies of these two, but i think the new movies coming out of all these superheros are actually quite stupid and the directors kill the story.
