While I do prefer
Superman: The Movie,
BATMAN and
Spider-Man to it I do think Iron Man was much better than
Batman Begins, Spider-Man 2 and
X2. The latter 3 while I consider good just never had any real replay value with me and I never really got why they were so highly regarded. Though Spidey 2 along with the original and IM are the only post-2000 superhero movies to even make it into my all time superhero movie top 10.
As for the dude who said GR could never be made into a good movie and always come across as second lister. Well IM was considered a second lister by many for many years I think now cause of the movie he might be ranked a little higher but a lot of people still know jack about his comics. I was the only IM fan in my circle and I'm a DC head for the most part my friends were the marvel zombies. Only Marvel characters I really cared for the most were DD, Spidey, X-Men, IM, Punisher, Hulk, Thor and GR. Was never into Cap though I'm a big Avengers fan but never bothered with his solo.
As someone who has read a lot of Ghost Rider comics there is huge potential for a great movie to be made from that source. So much pathos to be explored in there. Only problem was the movie we got did not have a good team behind it. Mark Steven Johnson may have his heart in the right place but he doesn't have the skill or vision to really pull off a comic adaptation it's the same reason DD was so problematic. Give the GR property to a really capable and passionate director and writer and I guarantee you'd get good results.
^Ah hem,I said it seems...,not oh it's official,not alot of people really care about Indiana Jones 4 coming out.
You know something it pains me to say this but I dont care for Indy 4 at all. First screening of
Iron Man I saw was before the nationwide release about a week back the trailer played to no reaction. I saw IM again last nigth and this time there was applause but it seemed like people felt obligated out of nostalgia cause none of the humor got any laughs or anything.
The Indy trilogy is hands down my favorite adventure series ever. It is to me what the original Star Wars trilogy was to millions of others. I know those movies word for word and scene for scene. I've owned
Raiders about 8 different times in my 24 years on this earth 2 of those times were cause my VHS copies got worn out from so much viewing.
Temple was a very influential film to me and helped me develop a vivid imagination a lot of people hate on it but I absolutely adore that movie.
Last Crusade gets panned the most but man that is one of the sweetest and most fun action comedies ever. But this new movie I feel absolutely nothing for it.
Just nothing, I really really want to be hyped I mean Indy is back but the trailers were very underwhelming. Something about this seems very off nothing excites me. Ford seems to be forcing it the few lines he had did not have that natural Indy charm and charisma in their delivery. I never thought I'd say this about a new Indiana Jones movie but I don't think I'm going to catch this at the cinema. My next movies are Hulk (which also looks underhwelming but I'll give it a shot),
Wall-E then TDK,
Tropic Thunder and
Pineapple Express.
