Watchmen (2009)
Watchmen is easily the worst comic book movie ever made!
Watchmen, directed by the second rate director, Zack Snyder is easily the year's worst movie so far!
I found the movie to be a too long, too pointless with no point at all.
Plus the movie covers every event in a four decade span of the 20th Century especially since this is an alternate comic book universe with Richard Nixon serving his fifth term as president.
It literally suggests that superheroes (Dr.Manhattan in particular) helped the United States win every single conflict in the last several decades making us the biggest superpower in the world.
From the events of World War II to the Korean War to the Vietnam War to the close of the Cold War, all with nuclear war on the minds of the audience.
My girlfriend absolutely was confused and didn't understand all the graphic violence (especially a murdered girl who is fed to two dogs and one of those dogs literally having it's head cut with a meat cleaver, as well as an ax shoved into the head of a child molester repeatedly) and waited for me in the lobby for an hour and a half.
This film did feel rather outdated with it's nuclear armament warnings.
Not to mention in this recession people are REALLY holding on to their wallets.
Women will HATE it. (At least today's chicks)
Pluses: Rorschach is the best character in the film. PERIOD.
Dr. Manhattan needs some underwear. (Is this a comic book movie or animated pornography?)
Nite Owl 2, (cracks me up with his erectile dysfuctionality)
Comedian rocks the house, but is killed at the beginning. However his actions are highly questionable and repulsive.
Dr. Voidt/Oxymandias is the worst character in the film, both literally and figuratively. Who cares if he thinks he's the smartest man in the world? (Needs a better actor)
I laughed out loud at the sex scene with Silk Spectre and Nite Owl in his flying submarine, as did the audience and her constant living up to her mother speeches. (Needed another actress with better delivery)
The cinematography looks terrific, if you must, see this on an IMAX screen!
LOVE the soundtrack though.
300 is the better movie overall.
Overall, Watchmen is the worst movie of the year so far!
Iron Man (2008)
Iron Man is by far the best comic book movie in years!
Wow, as a comic book fanboy, I couldn't be happier than seeing Marvel's mighty metal man on the big screens along with millions of other fanboys waiting with delicious delight to see our favorite shellhead up on the big screen.
Robert Downey Junior is by far the coolest and funniest Marvel hero to date he definitely makes this film and his presence takes the already cool material to new heights. His Tony Stark is a hero to Marvel indeed.
Gweneth Paltrow, whose films never interested me until now does a great job as Tony Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Potts.
Jeff Bridges, who was a questionable choice as lead villain Obediah Stone actually surprised me, and he did a good, but not great job.
The standout, Terrance the man Howard as the cool as heck, Jim Rhodes, the future War Machine and his "next time baby" line was the killer of the whole film.
Best parts, Iron Man's fight in the middle east, showing off his cool Mark 3 armor which can go supersonic speeds.
All in all, this movie was completely cool, fun, and the best comic book movie in years! My favorite shell head had big shoes to fill for his first big screen appearance and this film more than filled those shoes up! The SHIELD references were cool, as was Samuel L. Jackson at the end.
Bring on The Avengers!
4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Despite some cheesy moments, I had a great time with this movie!
Despite some cheesy moments, Fantastic Four, Rise of The Silver Surfer, takes the elements that worked in the first film, and moves to a whole new enjoyable adventure.
This time Reed Richards, and Sue Storm finally get married, much to the dismay of their crime fighting team mates, The Thing, and The Human Torch.
Doctor Doom of course is back in all of his villainy, this time with a cool new outfit, and a new vengeance and hatred of the Fantastic Four.
Some welcome new elements include the terrific looking Fantastic Car, but it's the Silver Surfer who came to play with this group of people and he does not disappoint.
Sure, some comic book fans were disappointed with the display of the Almighty Galactus, but that aside, this film's action scenes and visual effects do not disappoint.
Oh, and don't forget, Doctor Doom is NOT DEAD, Doom never dies, even in the comic books, when the Fantastic Four keeps on trying to kill him, he just keeps on coming back even after four decades.
And why is that? Because he's definitely one of Marvel's most popular comic book characters.
Here's to more Fantastic Four films in the future! Doctor Doom will never die, and that's the fact folks!
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1993)
The most pointless and idiotic show in history!
I have never understood what the fuss is about with this completely ridiculous and pointless show.
I am a fan of comic books and their characters, but this takes pointless in a new direction.
What exactly is the purpose of this show anyways? I remember this show being popular in the 1990s, but I also remember quite a few people thinking it was idiotic at the same time.
I am in the camp that believes this show is completely stupid.
I know I am far from the only person who thinks that way.
So, really what was the purpose of this idiotic show anyway?
