could there ever be a sentry movie?

i think it could be great, but what do you think?

He's not nearly popular/known enough for the film to do well, therefore I don't think they'd do it anytime soon.

The average person would just think "Man, this is a ripoff of Superman."

QFT.

Sentry is nowhere near interesting enough for a movie.

Do we really want to compare Sentry fans and Superman fans.

You missed the point and get on the defensive. How sad.

You think a flawless boy scout makes for more interesting stories then a deeply flawed, agoraphobic, schizophrenic "superman" with the powers of a god? Superman is perfect, Sentry isn't even close, he is a much more "human" character, and it makes for much more interesting stories. Sure Superman has a much larger fanbase but he isn't a more interesting character... not even close.

If the writers hadn't done a bad job for the last couple of years that might be true.

He has his moments but I haven't ever found him to be constantly interesting.

He wouldn't be that interesting on his own. In an Avengers movie - perhaps.

That's the exact opposite of how I see it.

Sentry would have no place whatsoever in an Avengers movie, but the basic idea of the character is fairly cinematic. He'd almost work better in a movie than he does in mainstream Marvel comics.

Ummm...why is Sentry compare to Superman? One is the icon the other is a cheap rip-off.

Sentry is not a rip-off of superman! he can fly! he is strong! he is invulnerable!

but he is so much more than that!

xtreme telepath!
hard light projections!
energy projection!

at least!!!

there personalities are nothin alike!

supermans a punk! in todays world a sentry movie would destroy a supes movie!

nobody wants to hear about a perfect guy with perfect powers, a perfect job, a perfect girl and pretty much a perfect life!!! what does he have to overcome? he's an out of date character and has no place in the world!

overall i think he is pathetic, and i mean know offence here, so is any one who thinks he is the greatest character ever!

P.S i dont even really like the sentry that much, but compared to superman..........

you know how sentry will become famous? a movie about him. look at blade... he was only a 3rd tier character in spiderman.

Superman has the Jesus Christ appeal, like the Silver Surfer does at Marvel. That's why people respond to him so strongly, and his movies are full of that subtext. His goodness has to be the opposite pole from Batman, who pursues justice but is the angry everyman rather than saviour. Marvel has already perfected the flawed superhuman who tries his best and always wonders if it's enough - Spider Man.
Sentry needs other heroes to work of like the Avengers, in particular Captain America, as he is another example of attempts to recreate the super soldier serum but with unstable results.
That's just the approach I prefer.

They can have Spider-Man on promos and advertisement. All he has to do is mention it in a few comics and fans would believe him.

lol he has to be a scotsman... always a wanker
