Super hero movies

[CKorfmann]

So who here is into comic book/super hero movies?  I used to read comics when I was a kid, but I got out of it a long time ago.  It's a good thing too because I'd probably be broke!  I just wish I hadn't allowed myself to be swindled out of them by a shady dealer!  I still like all the movies though. 

What's you're favorite or most anticipated super hero movie?

If you haven't seen this site, check out superherohype.com.  It lists, gives count-downs, and general info about upcoming super hero movies.  Enjoy!

I think you're getting your homonyms mixed up

As for Marvel/DC, I chalk myself as a Legion of Superheroes fan, but these days, there's more argument among the fandom and less stories from the publisher about the team.  Oh well.  Having said that, a live action movie featuring the team might be interesting.  Heck, I'd take a live action TV series as well.

Yeah, I noticed that and fixed it before I read your post!  .

Did you know that there are plans in the works for the Avengers as well as The Justice League?  The Avengers are supposedly keeping all the same actors from the Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor movies (whoever those last two are).  From what I've read, the JLA movie is supposed to be using all new, young actors though.  I don't think there will be any of the same ones from the stand alone films. 

I remember talking about an X-men movie with my friends back in the day and how cool that would be.  We used to pick out actors for the parts like Arnold for Colossus and Mel Gibson for Wolverine.  He might have done really well in his younger days.  Tina Turner would have been a great Storm around Thunder Dome time.  Of course, Patrick Stewart was a must for Prof. X!

My all-time favorite super hero movie is Iron Man. That one was great. I'm not really into comics (mostly because I don't have the money to buy them/don't really know where to get them) but I've loved the movies I've seen. Iron Man has it all, though, humor, action, a little romance... it was perfect. "How was the fun-vee?" lol.

I also really, really like Watchmen, but I'm not sure if that's really a "super hero" movie. It was... interesting. I fully intend on reading those graphic novels as soon as I have money to buy them . the movie was a little confusing and REALLY long, but I loved the artistic-ness of it. Pretty cool.

the very best is Jason... and the most satisfying, it's Jason dispose of Freddy in Jason vs Freddy!!!

way to go Jason!!

i also like Lobo and Happy Tree Friends

I'm not sure Jason qualifies as a super hero...

I love superhero films. This is my line up (reverse order):

7: Iron Man: An excellent film with a first class performance by Robert Downey Jr.

6: Superman: No one else can be Superman except Christopher Reeve!

5: Superman II: The best of the Superman films.

4: Spider Man: Great family entertainment. Tobey Maguire put Nicholas Hammond's Peter Parker into the shade.

3: The Dark Knight: What can I say, an excellent sequel.

2: Batman Begins: I hated the Michael Keaton version, which started off promising and then went really silly with Nicholson's Joker. The sequels were not much better either.

Leaving, at number 1, it has to be...

1: The Incredible Hulk: My first choice. Much better than Ang Lee's 'Hulk'... I loved the way that the film was cleverly tied in to the TV series (I was a big fan) and reasonable to the comic.

Priceless!

if Jason does not qualify... let's say Conan the Barbarian, LotR and Seth Putnam(lol, he will be mad at me!!).

Deatheux you havent got the gist of this thread. They are discussing Comic Book heroes, such as Batman, Superman etc.

If you wish to discuss your heroes, who seem to be from horror and fantasy then I suggest you start another thread. Jason vs Michael Myers !!

Batman is cool.

So who do you think should play the Thor and Captain America?  I think I like the wrestler Triple H for Thor, but Captain America is tough, it could really be several people.  Perhaps Karl Urban or Matthew Fox.

Triple H can do either Thor or CONAN!(the kings of Kings from WMXXIII)

Cap'tain America can/could be done by Kurt Angle!!!

For Lobo i see Rob Zombie!!!

So both Jason & Conan qualify for this topic. PERIOD!

I think I agree with Canada Steve.  The title of this thread is Super Hero Movies.  I can see Conan maybe, but he's not "super".  Jason is not a hero at all.  He's an evil, undead villian.

Cap'tain America can/could be done by Kurt Angle!!!

Actually, that thought crossed my mind too.

Deatheux to keep this thread on topic I am removing your spurious posts.

Now you're getting it!  Superman is a super hero!
