You might be tired of them, but I hope for a lot more. They are just starting to get really good now that the use of CG can accomplish the FX. Super-Hero flicks are among my favorites. Even though there will continue to be better ones and stinkers, I'll take what I can get.
Superman I and II were nearly as exciting as Star Wars back in the day. Batman and to a degree Batman Returns were decent efforts. But then we got Batman & Robin, PUnisher, the failed FF movie from the 90's, a decent but flawed TV Flash and a crappy Captain America film.
Flash forward to the year X-Men came out. That turned the tide, and Spider-man showed how to really do a fun and cool movie. Their sequels were even better. Despite the oft-mentioned flaws, I liked Hulk and FF for what they were. Batman Begins was truly an exceptional effort to break off from the goofiness yet still have an engaging film, and I hope more movies follow.
I liked Fantastic Four. It is basically a comedy with a bit of action thrown in. It was not a great film I admit, but it covered the goofier side of comics movies, to contrast the ultra-serious Batman Begins.
Anyway, I would hope that Hulk 2 is what X-men2 was to X-men (more fun, more of everything and some real caring about the characters). I hope X-men3 isn't ruined although it doesn't look good without Singer. I expect the Ghost Rider flick to be worse that FF. The next BIG film will be Superman Returns and based on the comic-con footage of last weekend, and the reports, it looks fantastic. Just my 2 cents.
P.S. -- "Man Thing" -- you can rent it , it went straight to DVD. Anyone see it yet? How bad is it?
