Just teasing dude.

Just the same, I have never read a comic book. But it is in my top fave movies.

In no particular order

1. Batman (keaton/burton)
2. The Crowe
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. The Matrix
5. Dusk till Dawn
6. Back to the Future (entire series)

Though I do love a number of new personal exposures as of late:

1. Batman Begins
2. The entire Desperado series

I think we're seeing comic book movies explode for the same reason we are seeing every children's fantasy book that manages to sell more than 5 copies turned into a movie:

The technology has finally caught up with the vision.

You have to be kidding about From Dusk till Dawn. I didn't believe a single "f*ck" that came out of George Clooney's mouth, or his ridiculous tattoo.

"Dusk til Dawn" was a good couple of movies. Ok, maybe not good, but they were entertaining. I was entertained.

SuperMan I think is kinda dumb, I don't know why, just is. Maybe 'cause his underwear is on the outside or something.

And the Hulk is a guy who whenever he gets mad turns into this big green thing. Really dumb.

Spiderman one is great, two, good, three, eh fine but not great.

Batman I'm getting back into again and want to see the new one.

Iron man I really liked, like WB( Or as I like to call her, the dork, Lol, jk) said. The guy who played him was great, I would so go see it again.

I was going to bring up the Richie Rich abomination, but since this is about Super Heroes and not just Comic Book movies, I won't.

Tori - have you seen the 1979 Superman, or the 1989 Batman?
