[Goshdarn Batman]

Bulletproof Monk: Haven't seen it


The Return of Swamp Thing: Have it on DVD, but I can't remember any of it.

The Guyver: Have it, saw the sequel first wich is much much better.

Popeye: I love Popeye, but I've never had the chance to watch the live-action movie.

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle: No thanks!

Timecop: Can't remember it.

Man-Thing: Looks pretty bad.

Darkman II & III: I agree.

The Crow sequels: The Crow: City of Angels and Salvation weren't THAT bad. But Wicked Prayer...wow...

Steel: Can't remember it.

Yup.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

You get no arguments here. That's pretty terrible.

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle

All awful but Sheena features Tanya Roberts topless. So, it gets a happy pass.

 

[The Kid]

No catwoman? I guess it's great then.

 

[Joker]

Crow II and IV are the terrible ones. III was actually pretty good.

You forgot Supergirl, by the way. My god I can't believe how bad that movie is...

Oh, and The Guyver has a huge cult following.

 

[Leenie]

Aw, I actually like Popeye ... Well, I haven't seen it in a decade or so, but I liked it the last time I saw it!

 

[3dman27]

i like buletprof monk the movie and the guyver wasn't too bad

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Since when is Darkman a comic book character???

 

[Riven]

They did a series of comics after the movie.

[Goshdarn Batman]

It's not based on a comic book, but the movie is very "comic bookish".

 

[Nathan]

Oh, and The Guyver has a huge cult following.

It's my guilty pleasure. Oh, when will they ever make a new one?

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Have you ever seen the original anime series? Not a big fan of anime, but I loved it.

Yes! I see it now! Darkman is a comic book movie, just like Star Wars and Star Trek!

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Relax, dude

 

[PyroChamber]

What makes Popeye such a bad movie?

 

[Joker]

I'm not a big fan of the Popeye movie, but I wouldnt put it in the same class of crap as the others listed here.

 

[shapeshifter]

you left out Elektra
and the unreleased Fantastic four movie.

 

[Nathan]

Not to forget Ghost Rider.

Popeye

OMG! OMG!
Are you calling Popeye a "comic book movie" ?!?
OMG!

There were Popeye comics, just as there were Flash Gordon comics.

But they were all based on characters who found their origin in comic strips!

OMG! Don't call Popeye a comic book movie!

well, I don't think there is a need to distinguish between "comic book movies" and "comic strip movies"

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Nor do I really. That was a parodic, sarcastic response to the Flash Gordon thread where I said I wish more comic BOOK movies were handled as Flash Gordon was, because it was the best COMIC movie ever...(because I thought a nit-picker would say, "Oh! Oh! Flash Gordon was a comic STRIP, not a comic BOOK!!1 Oh!"), and Kev Roegele did just that....

...and now I see him classifying Popeye as a comic BOOK movie.

lol

ooh! Great t:

've Just read it. Good one.

 

[IRON_Lad]

so where's catwoman?

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

As far as the topic, I think Man-Thing is funny.
People don't even mention it when listing Marvel movies, and being a magazine addict, I read quite a few interviews about how jazzed everyone involved was and rad it was going to be, hahaha.
