i think mark steven jonson is absolutely rediculos! after daredevil, wich was bullshit, with bullshit casting (except jon fav) and a bullshit story, would you let him anywere near ghost rider, it was even worse! what is it with this guy? he cant write! he sure as hell cant cast!(watchin nic cage in that role made me want someone t shoot jonson) and he cannot direct! at all! how has this guy ever gotten a job?
Brett Ratner! the last stand was a joke! there are so many things Wrong with it! when wolverine walks out from behind the sentinel head in the danger room anyone? and take juggernaut! they said the comic book version looked to 'out there' and 'unrealistic' does he even know what juggs looks like? all he had to do was make a tight sleveless top and a couple of arm band kind of things(well just look at a comic) but instead he made him some kind of bondage lookin freak with leather straps and a metal bolt around his neck! it makes him look like a complete tool!
i know it was mathew vaughn that cast him but he was shit! the rubber muscle suit was so fake looking! could they not have gotten a bulky guy who can actually act? the film just sucks, there is no decent character development and the whole cure thing is shit!
ive left out a lot of what was wrong with TLS because there is not enough room and i dont have enough time but you get the point
please tell me why you hated these movies(or why you didn't) and mention any other films/directors you had a problem with!
X-Men: The Last Stand was good. Vinnie Jones looked very good in the suit, and Juggernaut as a whole had enough of his comic look made to look realistic.
Totally agree with Mark Steven Johnson. He messed up both Daredevil & Ghost Rider.
Rob Bowman certainly made a lousy Elektra movie.
Joel Schumacher still hasn't repented for his Batman movies.
Jim Wynorski made a laughable attempt to capture Alan Moore's greatness with Return Of Swamp Thing; Stephen Norrington failed the same way with The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Pitof on Catwoman - horrible.

I just said how it was, and it was the biggest box office hit of the three, though X2 is the best film.
You have an easier time proving your case on a film where it bombed, or disappointed finacially.

A lot of things were right on Daredevil - the casting, the story for the most part, the visual use of his radar, and they stayed true to the costume and made it look good on screen. But it's plagued by bad touches and rushed moments throughout. I wanted an epic score, not a junk collection of hard rock songs. And Johnson didn't seem to know what Matt would really do in some scenes - he wouldn't chase a criminal down into the subway and allow him to be run over. And that iso tank he slept in was silly off the top - show him relaxing with earplugs or something when he gets home. If he's had a really bad day, then show him resorting to that tank to shut out the world. And Los Angeles is an unconvincing stand in for New York.Plus, I didn't want that narration, and where was the teacher who showed Matt how to use his radar? They make it look like he got hit with the chemicals, and became a super-agile fighter because of it, with no training. That's Spider Man, you doofus.

My friend, box office has nothing to do with it. What are you, a studio accountant, only looking at numbers, or a fan, looking for the best (or worst, in this case) comic book film?
X 3 wasn't awful, but it wasn't very good. Weakest of the three.
Considering the budget, actors, director, I thought Hulk was a huge disappointment, tho hardly the worst comic movie or director.
I think it has to go to Shumaker on Batman and Robin. This turd put the Bat-franchise in a near fatal coma, hell... it almost killed ALL comic book movies.
The guy behind Daredevil and Ghost Rider is quite a hack, and the ones who did Superman II and III- pshew!
Still, Shumaker's the one I'd most like to kick in the 'nads. Can you believe studio execs give this anus millions and millions of dollars to make movies? You could probably pick a person at random off the street who would do a better job. My grandmother knows nothing about superheroes or movies, but if she ever watched Batman & Robin, even she would stop at the nipples and homoerotic ass shots, and ask me;
"Oh my! Tell me dear, was the man who directed this film mentally ill?"
Yes Grandma, he was.

No, but box office is a factor. If a film is as terrible as so many on message boards claim, it wouldn't pull in that much money would it? Especially if it continues to do well after its opening weekend. People can be fooled a little bit by good marketing, but not all the way.
And the reviews for X3 weren't bad - just mixed. It cracked the top 50 for Rotten Tomatoes 50 Best Reviewed Films Of 2006.

Look at Titanic - huge box office winner, but can anyone stand to watch it now? For a period of six months ten years ago, people just lost their minds (especially the women, who packed theatres to see Leonardo & Kate go down again & again.) It happens sometimes. Small kids were dragging their families to the first two Home Alone films, but people had more than enough after two of those; 3 & 4 had virtually no audience.

That's a low blow. Don't hang Ledger's death on Nolan.

Re: Re: Re: Worst Director of a Comic Movie
Amen. Whether this guy thought he was being funny (he failed), or whether he was serious (frightening), the fact remains, he showed his ass. Ledger was a real, living human being. Show some class.
