I like movies based on comic books. There. I said it. X-Men, Spider-Man, Blade, Hellboy, Superman (I & II only), Batman (also I & II - what were you thinking, Joel Schumacher?!?). Hell, I even enjoyed Daredevil! Now I'll admit that some comic book movies are total shit (I'm looking at you, Halle Berry) but most of them are a lot of fun.
Before I continue I feel I need to explain something. I go to my local comics shop every week and spend way too much money on comic books. I do plan to cut back a lot once I move to London because 1) I won't have a job and 2) where the hell would we store them? Anyway, I've been a fan for years but please don't think I'm like one of those unbathed, overweight, greasy-haired 36 year-old fanboys who still live with their mother and have never been laid. I've seen these guys. I know they exist. I'm just not one of them. I rarely talk comic books. I never post messages on comic book bulletin boards ranting about the death of a certain creator because he killed off my favorite character. I just enjoy reading them. Really. I swear. Don't look at me like that ...
Anyway, you might think that the comic movie I'm anxiously awaiting this year would be Batman, and I'll admit that the Christian Bale in a tight rubber suit does have certain appeal, but I'm really looking forward to the Fantastic Four. I love big, flashy special effects movies and, judging by the trailer, this is gonna be a pretty cool movie. I'm not too thrilled with the way they made The Thing look (where's your eyebrow ridge, Ben?!?) but I think that overall everybody looks the part. Oh and Chris Evans, aka Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch, is shirtless. 'Nuff Said.
