It depends what you like I guess. Years ago when they first started doing the comic movies I thought they were pretty bad... but now, I love them. Most of them anyway.

Over the past two years I've probably been to maybe 8 different movies... all of the ones that I actually really enjoyed were comic related.

300, Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man... I guess that's just the type of movie I enjoyed.
Best post in this thread. At least one person has some common sense! Comments like the one made by the OP are very very typical. And it wouldn't matter the decade, there's always people that are negative like that. And would rather see the negative through the positive. Because if the OP and others did their homework they'd find that there really are some good movies to be seen out there. You just have to research and find them. You can't just randomly pick a movie and expect to like it.

It's kind of like randomly buying a car and then not liking it. Did you read the reviews on the car, talk to others, etc? 2007 was actually one of the best years for movies in recent movie history. Sweeney Todd, No Country For Old Men, Lust Caution, Talk To Me, I'm Not There, Juno, Once, Into The Wild and Before The Devil Knows You're Dead were all great movies. There's lots more too from last year that were excellent. I bet most of the people posting in this thread didn't even see a third of the movies I just mentioned here. They have no right to complain.
