I actually have no interest in the Avengers movie.
I was told the Spiderman movie was great. I saw it, and thought that despite some nice special effects, that it was really trite and two-dimensional. And sucked.
Same thing the X-men movie.
Same thing the Hulk movie.
I skipped the Daredevil and Elecktra movies.
I watched the first Iron Man movie on TV about a year ago. I thought it sucked too. When it came out, there were people telling me "Ohhhh, it's great it's great!" I didn't find it even tolerably decent.
No offense to those who enjoyed them, but they're just in a style that doesn't appeal to me. Much like the comics themselves over the last 20 or so years.
I liked the 1989 Batman movie. All the Christopher Reeves Superman movies (yes, even III and IV), the 70's Bill Bixby Hulk TV series.
And a lot of others like The Mask, Mystery Men, The Phantom with Billy Zane, the live-action Tick TV series, and a few others.
I thought both of the Hellboy movies were very well done and true to the original series.
While I wasn't a huge fan of Frank Miller's 300, I felt it was better as a movie than as a graphic novel.
Sin City was also a faithful adaptation, but still not great, either in comic book or movie form.
Same with From Hell, and Watchmen, and V For Vendetta. None worth the ticket price in my opinion.
Even the two Batman films with Christian Bale, however arguably well done in many ways, ultimately were silly to me in their unrelenting seriousness, and not movies I'd watch again.
I mostly enjoy comics as comics, and think they don't for the most part adapt well into movies, at least for my taste.
