An opportunity to give me unsolicited attention is a terrible thing to waste! ;-) Polt -- the way the X-Men franchise has exploded and been over-used (excluding the two Bryan Singer movies) after I stopped collecting has been ridiculous. Wolverine in the Avengers? Ugh. *rolls eyes* I thought Spidey #1 was perfect. Peter Parker is all ABOUT angst. I agree about Superman Returns -- this was Bryan Singer's chance to ditch the ice planet crap. Plus honestly can't anybody think of anything better for Lex Luthor to do than worry about Real Estate? Other than that though I realllly did love the movie: I have watched the scene where he catches the plane in the stadium a billion times. And the bullet bouncing off his eyeball. And him falling into the park in Metropolis. I really love Bryan Singer. Ryan — yeah, definitely too bad. An opportunity to give me unsolicited attention is a terrible thing to waste! ;-)

Silly rabbits. :) Tell me, does Wolverine in the Avenger make ANY sense at all??? Think of the Wolverine knew 15 years ago (he's still the same, Marvel's not big on character development), would THAT Wolverine have ANY interest in being in such a high-profile media frenzay as the Avengers???? Of course not. yet there he is. *SIGH* X1 and X2, outstanding. Spiderman 1 WAAAAY too much teen angst. Spiderman 2, ok. everything else you mentioned, horrible. Crimney, the Secret Society Of Super Villains from DC in the 70's was better than X3!!! Superman Returns, not bad, although it would have been nice to have them start fresh instead of try to carry on the same franchise. now, let's talk about the most recent Batman movies. That, my friends, is the way you make a comic book movie! HUGS... Oh by Odin’s beard, all you people who’ve not touched a comic book since Clinton was in office think yourselves masters of the genre.

I looooove me some steampunk. :) Oh, and Justin I totally agree; Marvel all the way! Although I have to admit that I too stopped collecting comics back in '94 so I cannot comment on the current state of the genre. Steampunk, did someone meantion steampunk?

I haven't read it myself but it got 5+ stars on my friend's site. I'm not sure it's really my thing, but I'll be reading Sean's anyway because I love his writing.

I think Bryan Singer should have a statue made for re-inventing the comic-book-movie genre with X-Men, the first actually *good* comic-book movie ever made IMHO. The first two X-Men movies and the first two Spider Man movies are phenomenal in my own personal opinion. The Hulk movies, the Fantastic Four movies, and the third X-Men and Spider-Man movies, not so much. (Though at least the second Hulk movie was ... watchable, and Edward Norton *is* a vastly better Bruce Banner than Eric Bana; Bruce shouldn't be too muscular.) I'm also one of like 3 people on earth who loved LOVED *LOVED* Superman Returns and is sad Brandon Routh's contract to play the next Superman has expired. I'm mad that Bryan Singer left the X-Men franchise to let it be so horribly botched in X3, but doing so for Superman Returns was totally worth it (though frankly I'm sick of the whole "Krypton as a block of ice" concept and the "S symbol as the House of El symbol" concept -- which I've hated since they were introduced -- and wish they'd reboot the movies completely.) Ryan -- getting excited? Is there *any* chance this thread can be nudged back to filth? There's something just ... wrong about a Puntabuthread being all philosophical and asexual :-) Polt – I bow entirely to your superior and up-to-date comic-book knowledge and I’m not thinking *anything* remotely judgemental about a 42-year-old reading comic books ;-) On the serious, though, I’m still a sucker for a good comic-book movie — they are often my favourite scifi films out these days, at least if they’re good ones.
