We are almost over it by now. Batman begins was great, the Xmen 3 was average to say the least, and Superman....who knows?
I think that the public are just about "over" the Comic Book movie genre for about the next 10 years. We seem to go in waves...Horror, Disaster, Adventure, Science Fiction..and now recently thanks to advanced FX..comic book heros.
With the special effects available, and with about "one more" great movie left in the genre before we all revolt...should the next comic book movie going into production be "The Silver Surfer"? If so who would you cast in the lead, or, do you think THE SURFER would need to be completely CGI? And if not the Silver Surfer to herald out the genre...then who?
Good Luck

I think there needs to be a distinction made here between "Comic Book" movies and "Super Hero" movies. Sin City, Ghost World, 300 (in production), A history of Violence (I know there are many I left out) are all good movies culled from comic books that do not involve super heroes.
If the filmakers stick with and properly utilize the source material there are plenty of good stories in either category to keep it going for a long time. And why not. It is about time comics were recognized for their literary and cultural contributions. But Hollywood does have a tendency to take great ideas and dumb them down to affect a greater mass appeal. It is up to the public paying to see these films to control this downward spiral.

The question is flawed. It presupposes that the Silver Surfer should be made at all. It isn't the genre that is in question anyway. It is the film makers and the writers. Any story can work when done right. Even, I suppose, Silver Surfer.

I like the Surfer as much as the next person who knows of his existence, but I really think it should stop with superman, at least for a couple decades.

I'd like to see "the Flash" made right, or even "Thor".
