Which comic book movie should never have been made and which should be?

Answer 1

Well...Hulk, Elektra, and Daredevil all underperformed, meaning that they could of all been better. However, I would have to go with Joel Schumacher's version of Batman. Batman & Robin was dumbed down and they tried to fit too much in it. They screwed up a franchise that had started dark and brooding and had gotten away from the cheesiness. So Batman & Robin should never have been made.

As for what should get made....Hmmmmmmmm...As a kid I always wanted The X-Men as a movie and now we have had 3. Then we wanted Spidey and the 3rd is on the way. So now I wish a good Captain America movie or even Cap with The Avengers. I love the ensemble superhero movie if done right!!!

Answer 2

Batman and Robin shouldn't have been made. Why they felt they had to get away from the themes Tim Burton started I have no idea.

But what should be made? I'd like to see an Avengers movie, even though I'm not a huge fan of the comics... I'd still like to see what they do. I'd like to see a better Fantastic Four movie... the first one didn't have the same feeling you get when you read the comic... something was definitely missing. Perhaps like X-Men and X2 we'll see some real interesting stuff in the sequel, though I'm a huge anti-fan of the Silver Surfer and suspect I'll be cringing through the whole thing. Y the Last Man might be worth doing, though I think the comics were a little tame compared to what the premise implied. Zatanna would be cool... though I would vote for it to be an adult film.

Answer 3

Fantastic Four - could they have destroyed that franchise any more? the problem with movie studio execs is that they don't understand that a even bad movie based on these comics will make $200 Million. If they want to make $400 million (like with the spiderman movies) they need to actually follow the comic formula and cast appropriate actors instead of who is currently most popular. Seriously, Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman??? Terrible, she would have made a good White Queen or Black Widow or Ms Marvel.

I hope they make a good Dr. Strange movie (yes, I know there was a cheesy made for TV version in the 70s).

Answer 4

Punisher. Both versions. Cool book, bad movies.

Ghost Rider looks terrible, but it hasn't come out yet. But it's by the director of Daredevil and Elektra, so it will probably be equally bad.

I really like the Young Avengers series, I think that'd make a good movie. I don't know why Marvel keeps pushing all these old characters like Ghost Rider or Iron Man. Yawn. They should do something different.

Answer 5

No, no, no, the X-Men are almost better than Batman, now that they've quit letting Joel Schumacher direct them! I don't think Tank Girl should've been done, though, just a little too obscure. And the Tick is just too surreal to come out of animation into real-action, which is a damn shame, because I would love it. V for Vendetta was almost that way, but I'm glad they did it. Sin City was a good one, too.

Answer 6

Although I liked the movies financially XMEN did not do so well. Maybe it would have done better remaining comics and on TV.
My opinion, they should make a movie just about the story of....
CAPTAIN AMERICA!

Answer 7

Not a fan of The Hulk, although Ang Lee's interpretation was fairly interesting. I'd have to vote for that one for "should never have been made."

As for ones I'd like to see... it's a tie between The Savage Dragon and Strangers in Paradise.

Answer 8

Superman IV

Thor.

Answer 9

I'm ok with the ones made, I guess... but I want them to make Thor

Answer 10

The "Fantastic Four" movie was pretty awful, in my opinion.
