SUPERHERO MOVIES?
 

Is there already a superhero forum? I cannot find one! Could you guys create one? LOL.

If not, then I shall use this thread as one...so, who is everyone's favourite superhero and why? Mine is Superman...cannot wait to see Man Of Steel next year!

I tend to actually prefer Clark Kent to Superman as I love handsome geeks, and he is just my type of guy, lol.
:)

Big fan of Superhero movies even the bad one's. I grew up reading comics especially X-men and Batman. Think Batman is my favourite character or Gambit from X-men.

Where in Aberdeenshire do you stay Mermaid? I'm from Aberdeen but live in Portlethen.

I prefer PUMAMAN over any of the BATMAN and SUPERMAN films. There I said it.

Whats with the Death Star on the film poster?

From Fraserburgh, for my sins! hahaha! :)

Buggered if I know! :noidea:

I'm a huge marvel comics fan and I love the marvel comics films so far, especially the AVENGERS!

Eeeehhhh......
Marvel Comic < DC Comics < Marvel Movie Universe (Iron Man - Avengers) < Zenith

Puma Man is wonderful.

I have a troubled relationship with superhero flicks.

Some are undeniably great fun, but the over-saturation of them recently has driven me mad.

Also I see people talking about things like The Dark Knight and Avengers Assemble as if they are Welles or Kurosawa films rather than the expensive B film pulp they actually are. This makes me angry to be honest.

And they are so repetitive - especially the Marvel Studios things - how may times can you see cars flying through the air before you get tired? I was bored of it after the second time.

There is very little interesting action cinema being made today, and I blame the superhero trend.

I have enjoyed and rated Kick Ass and thought the first X Men film was OK and The Dark Knight was pretty well done, but really it's a pretty unrewarding subgenre.

Also, after what they did to my belovéd John Constantine is that piss awful Keanu Reeves disaster, there will always be resentment! :tongue1:

Incidentally my favourite Marvel Studios film so far has been Man Thing. That probably tells you all you need to know about where I am coming from! :lol:

Superman and Spider-Man and that's it have no interest in any other heroes
Don't appeal to me and as for superman first 3 are as classic as you can get and don't think new superman will appeal to me, like new Spider-Man film it was ok but once you seen the originals etc the remake with different person playing the character just doesn't seem the same, why do a remake of a film that isn't that old in the first place, unless its a mainstream remake of a lesser unheard film because then it might get the original more noticeable,

The original Spider Man Trilogy is awful!

The Raimi ones? I liked them, though remember the third one being much less then the first two, whilst not being as bed as everyone seemed to think!

I liked the atmosphere of them - light and fluffy with moments of darkness. Reminded me of the tone of the comics (late 70s/early 80s, no idea what the Spiderman comics are like before or since)

Also: hot women.

Seriously? I think they're great films, as is the new one

I liked SUPER and KICK ASS, two nice takes on the superhero genre. I would also like to see someone go back and have another go at making a great SHADOW film as the alec baldwin one was a little dissapointing.

What about the Phantom :lol:

I dont like the cut and paste damsel in distress situations in the Raimi movies, Mary Jane did **** all in those movies and I think S2 is one of the most over rated movied of the last 10 years.

cough cough Dredd cough cough :lol:

Oh your in trouble now young man :lol:

I will skin you, dress in it to your mothers birthday and rub your testicles up and down her leg while whistling Bohemian Rapsidy!

Best thing about it is I haven't even seen Dredd yet, I did wanna take my eldest son to watch it until it was announced as an 18 :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Didn't stop me going 3 times!

TBH I just never got around to going, same with Total Recall

I think you were the only one to go judging from its box office receipts.

I liked The Phantom.

Very entertaining and not reliant on CGI.

'Blubber'

Superman III is on Channel 5 in the UK right now, love Richard Pryor in this and the end always used to scare me as a kid!

Is that to indicate a sad emotion or something. You could have used this :cry:

Same reason i love the 70s Hulk films then.

I didn't know there were any. :o

I would but Im posring this on my phone.

I only thought there were TV movies in the 80's but, apparently not

Two episodes of the series appeared first as stand-alone movies, but were later re-edited into one-hour length (two-parters) for syndication. They were produced as pilots before the series officially began in 1978:

The Incredible Hulk (1977) (distributed in theaters in some countries)
Return of the Incredible Hulk (1977) (also shown overseas as a feature film) – It was retitled Death in the Family for syndication

Six years after the cancellation of the television series in 1982, three television movies were produced with Bixby and Ferrigno reprising their roles. All of these aired on NBC:

The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988) – This marked the first time that another Marvel Universe character appeared in the milieu of the TV series. David Banner meets a former student (played by Steve Levitt), who has a magical hammer that summons Thor (played by Eric Allan Kramer), a Norse god who is prevented from entering Valhalla. It was set up as a back-door pilot for a live-action television series starring Thor. This project marked Jack Colvin's reappearance (and final appearance) as McGee.

The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989) – David Banner meets a blind lawyer named Matt Murdock and his masked alter ego, Daredevil. The Incredible Hulk and the Daredevil battle Wilson Fisk (Kingpin of Crime. Daredevil was portrayed by Rex Smith, while John Rhys-Davies portrayed Fisk. This was also set up as back-door pilot for a live-action television series featuring Daredevil. Stan Lee has a cameo appearance as one of the jury members overlooking Banner's trial.

The Death of the Incredible Hulk (1990) – David Banner falls in love with an Eastern European spy (played by Elizabeth Gracen) and saves two kidnapped scientists. The film ends with the Hulk taking a fatal fall from an airplane, reverting to human form just before he dies.

Despite the apparent death of the Hulk in the 1990 film, more Incredible Hulk television movies were planned, including a proposed Revenge of the Incredible Hulk here the Hulk would actually be able to talk. However, all such projects were canceled when Bill Bixby died of cancer in November 1993.

Yeah one of them was with Thor and then one with Daredevil

Think they were made for TV or maybe extended episodes but i have both of them in a 2 disk dvd set.

Thanks Rik and Nordic.

I have the complete Incredible Hulk box set, I've only watched a couple of discs as of yet. I preordered from Play and got it for £19.99 which was an absolute steal.

Oh and the box says in a weedy voice "Don't make me angry"

Hulk the early 2000 film look totally pathetic and stupid and didn't hear anything good about so didnt watch it, im sure I read that is was that bad and badly panned ang lee try to distance himself from it because he was embarressed, even tho the one 4 5 yrs later was a improvement again it really just didn't appeal to me so never seen it,

The first modern Hulk was not good i only managed half of it and never watched the rest. The Ed Norton one was a massive improvement nothing special but a good brain turned off sort of film.

Once Lee's film got going it was pretty enjoyable. Shame you had to suffer the first hour though.

So i missed out on an entertaining film due to my lack of patience :doh:

Not really, I thought lee's Hulk was almost typically overblown overratted nafness just like every ang lee film. Don't rate him as a director at all.

There was some decent rampaging and tank and plane smashing, but the first hour was soooo dull.

he was also luminous green and was far too big. It's a rubbish film and the constant split screening was very annoying. Eric Bana was good though as was Sam Eliot and Jennifer Connolly.
