I'm not overly fond of comic book movies (probably because I'm not really into comic books). However, I can understand their appeal and don't mind the fact that they are around. The problem I have, though, is that due to the initial box office success and general favorable opinions of Spider-Man and X-men, movie companies think that as long as their movie is a comic book adaptation, they can do no wrong. And the result? We end up getting some marginal if not really lousy movies. I mean Daredevil? What is this crap?!?! I guess I just feel they kind of drag the whole genre down.


Anyway, I really like the X-men movies. Not only are they well done, but I like the casting choices (with the exception of Halle Berry). UnfortunatelyI just can't get into Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
