Wel...technically ..Blade was the first succesfull CB adaptation in the current CBM era IMO
Fair point. There's also Spawn, which, IIRC wasn't successful, but it was certainly an attempt.Wel...technically ..Blade was the first succesfull CB adaptation in the current CBM era IMO

I think Blade -- and to an extent Batman -- are different in that they ride the line between superhero and other genres: like Horror or Mystery. They can rely on that to help them establish their tone and style. Singer was really flying blind with X-Men on that front.
They do deserve credit for what they did to pave the way though, so please don't think I'm trying to argue.

Agreed, Blade always gets ignored even though it was really the first Marvel film. Plus it was successful, It deserves some credit.
Also, I'm very glad Fox isn't trying to compete with Marvel/Disney in regards to merchandise tie-ins/toys for their new X-movies. That alone shows their focus is on a slightly older audience.
Definitely. The movie also deserved credit for starting the whole techno music in action scenes and the wire-fu trend..heh

As for comic book movies being a success in general, I think that belongs to Supes and Bats.
