90% of all movies suck. Comic adaptations are no different. No reason to stop making them, hafta wade through the shit to get to the good stuff like any movie genre. It's just a genre a lot of us know the source material for so we're harder on it.

Actually i think its better odds than that. most movies are ok to watch and maybe 20- 25% are just trash. with comic book adaptions i would say its more like your 90%. Video Game adaptions are probably the worst of all. resident evil is probably the only video game to movie that didnt suck ass. please dont bring up super mario brothers or Tron, cuz they sucked too, tho at least Tron tried to be intelligent!

No, maybe 20-25% of movies you watch are just trash, but a far higher % that are actually out there suck balls. You just choose not to watch them. Hoever you do choose to watch all the comic movies, and as such have a skewed view of their shittitude. Which is actually right in line with the general shittyness of all movie.

It's science. You can't argue with that.

In Movie Theaters October 2007 (this link should take you to a list of movies to be released in October of 2007)

Look at that list and tell me only 20-25% is trash.

I honestly never heard of half of those films and its really not fair since the crappiest films always get released right after summer and dont pick up again until the holiday season and around the deadline for oscar nominees.
Heartbreak kid certainly orally gestated some pubicles. I want to see Elizabeth Golden Age tho.

Grimmlokk · 10-18-2007, 09:17 AM

That's kinda what I'm getting at. We make a point of learning about and watching the comic movies, not so much every movie released. So in the comic genre we see or hear about all of the 90% shitty movies, while from the other types we pick and choose what we see and as such don't partake of quite as high a ratio of shit.

Exactly.

Regardless, here's June and July:

In Movie Theaters June 2007

In Movie Theaters July 2007

51 and 42 films released respectively. Good luck finding 70 decent movies in the bunch.

Sorry if this is totally incorrect, but I couldn't get to some of those websites.

Can anyone shed some light [no pun intended] on the GL movie?

A lot of those films were not widely distributed so you cant really say they suck just becuase they didnt get major exposure and you didnt see them. some of them look like DVD releases too.

screw all those hippy comic characters. Someone make the movie of Battle Pope

SceleriS · 10-20-2007, 06:41 PM

Deadpool would be awesome.But it NEEDS ryan reynolds ...and a cable cameo to set up a cable movie(or cable deadpool movie)
Dr Strange.....liam neeson????

Thor would rock if they use the storyline that is going on right now in the comics.
Cap america in his WW2 years.
the first secret wars or the infinity gauntlet (animated movie)
House of M animated movie
Origins of wolverine should be made into a movie.

why animated? i actually really liked the ultimates(not the second animated movie) iron man and dr strange animated movies....you can pull off a ton of stuff in an animated movie.

How is that gambit pic gambit from AoA timeline? Apocalypse didn't look like that in AoA and gambit didn't look like that in AoA either. I have the 4 'graphic novels' and hes not like that in any of them, unless I am missing something?

Voted: Other

Lobo has been mentioned and I think it could be a kickass movie if done properly. With some inspiration from how Sin City and 300 was made they could capture the badassness that is Lobo.

My bad, after the House of M series, Apocalypse comes back and gets his 4 horsemen again and tries to take over cause most of the mutant population was gone. Gazer, sunfire, polaris, and gambit.
