I'm a fan of the genre. Though I like the cheesy stuff. I love the shows like Gatchmen and the 70s era Bixby Hulk and the ultra cheesy 70s Spiderman series starring Nicholas Hammond. Loved the Japanese live action Spiderman series too.
I think the newer stuff is vastly over-rated. Are Nolans' Batman films good, sure, are they high art..no not at all.
The latest X-MEN film had some great work in it. Though people still seem shocked when a comic book movie isn't some cheesy mess.
I remember watching the Hulk 80s tv movies. Each had characters introduced that they hoped would spawn its own series. Sadly neither ever did and Rex Smith would get closest when he actually had his daredevil made into a pilot that did not get picked up.
So far The Avengers is the closest to taking a comic and literally putting it right up there on the screen.
