The First Avenger: Captain America

For my money Batman Begin is a much better film then TDK. I mean, TDK has Eric Roberts in it. Ask yourself, what good movies have Eric Robers in them? The answer is zero, and that is including The Dark Knight. Batman Begins on the other hand had Liam Neeson, so its awesome. Simple. 😎

bullshit! eric roberts is julia roberts brother.. that, in its own rights, makes the dark knight the best film ever.. period..

Well, perhaps GL wouldn't have sucked so bad if Ryan Reynolds's inner monologue wasn't "RYAN REYNOLDS RYAN REYNOLDS RYAN REYNOLDS."

The only good movie Eric Roberts was in is Sharktopus, and that is because the concept of a Sharktopus is so genius it overrules Eric Roberts badness, and that was on tv.

Watchmen was complete and utter shit though, so not really. And as far as a comic book movie, I'd say both TDK and Begins are both average. Batman himself is the least interesting part of those films.
Watchmen WAS horrible. Blue d**ks weren't the only problem the film had.

Great movie.

there is always the second installment. and yes there will be one.

Who said there will be a sequel to GL?? It completely flopped. They're not going to want to go near it again.

As for a reboot, chances are even a good one would flop again now thanks to the first one, unless they wait about 10 years.

Guess you have'nt been keeping up with the news because they said they're going ahead with the sequel.

Why is everyone capping on Watchman? I mean it was a direct copy of the book excluding the ending, but what would anybody do so differently to make it up to their standards?

Wow, thats really surprising.. The first one's not even made back its budget!

Watchmen: Director's Cut is in an upper echelon of comic-book movies that none of these Marvel movies can touch.

Terrible, my ass.

Several people in this thread have said GL is about the same as Cap in terms of quality. 🙁

yeah well, it seems most people forget KMC isn't the internet... 😉

I liked Watchmen a lot. The Ultimate Cut is the closest to the source material it could ever get.

But as a movie it just doesn't work as well as it should 😬... I wasn't expecting it to be, the graphic novel is so complex it just can't work as a movie

I hated there was no skid, but as movie plot, the Manhattan devices are less ridiculous, but still fail as a reason for the cold war to end 😐

THIS

it was as close to the GN as it could ever be...

WB spent so much money on marketing, merch and hyping the character (with things a new Bruce Tim cartoon), that the studio might feel they have to make a second movie regardless. The same thing happened with Tron, and the Chronicles of Narnia. If the movie and cartoon push enough toy sales, it might be worth looking at the movie as a loss leader for potential merch sales.

Ah I see.. Well I dnt mind, I actually enjoyed certain aspects of the movie, just think it went a bit wrong with the Direction (the movie didn't flow properly), had a bit too much cheesiness, and story almost worked but just went a bit wrong.

Regardless I just dnt see a sequel or reboot selling unfortunately. They should just keep him animated for now, try to grow popularity for the character for a while first.

The JLU cartoon did that, but then they didn't use John Stewart in the movie.

😆 😆 I know right? I love how the DC fanboys will say anything to try and make bad movies sound better. Cause a 56/100 metascore and a 64 on Rotten Tomatoes make it upper echelon...

Maybe just accept the fact that some comics, like Watchmen and Hulk, just are way better in comics than movies.

I loved Watchmen. Great movie IMO. I also prefer the ending to the comic.

I am not a DC fanboy.

How you people shit on Watchmen and praise The Incredible Hulk is way beyond me though.

Sure.

You just aren't very attentive, are you?

I even said the Hulk wasn't a great movie. It was alright, but not up there with IM, Thor, Cap, TDK, etc....

You're the one claiming a movie with a 56/100 metascore and 64% on Rotten Tomatoes is God's gift to comic movies.

Martin isn't a DC fanboy. He just had bad taste in movies. This has been established years ago.
