#DORK 36: Worst Comic Book Movies

Fantastic Four (2015) Teaser

Upcoming Comic Book Movies

People like comic books, people like movies, people LOVE comic book movies.  You can look forward to all of these coming "soon."

• Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014)
• The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (May 2, 2014)
• X-Men: The Days of Future Past (May 23, 2014)
• Guardians of the Galaxy (August 1, 2014)
• Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (August 22, 2014)
• The Avengers 2 (May 1, 2015)
• Ant-Man (July 17, 2015)
• Batman vs. Superman (May 6, 2016)
• X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27, 2016)

They've been making comic book movies consistently for over a decade, and still there are plenty left that I am interested in seeing.  The Amazing Spider-Man was better than the Tobey M Spider-Mans and the Avengers was real good.  How Ben Affleck (Batman) and Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) do in Batman vs. Superman will be somethin. 

All and all.  Can't wait. 

Rich Reviews: The Wolverine

The Wolverine is a solid comic book movie. It's not Dark Knight, Iron Man, or even X-men, but it's also not a Spider-Man 3 or Ghost Rider. Hugh Jackson is back for the 5th time in this role (I guess 6th if you count his cameo in X-Men: First Class). He's good. The story and action is far better in this one compared to the last stand alone Wolverine movie (X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

This is more in the vain of a Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor... where you isolate on just the one super hero, with the villain not being a major comic character (like a Joker or Green Goblin). The Wolverine still holds up, solid action throughout and actually some continuity to the previous X-Men films.

It's over 2 hours long but doesn't feel like that, and for the first time you get the impression that Wolverine, the character, can carry a movie. He's always been "part of the X-Men' but clearly he is just as popular and intriguing as any other super hero.

I'll give it a 7.5/10.  (But I'm a sucker for comic book movies.)
