What do you think of the most recent Guyver anime, Zarius?

I like it quite a bit, but still haven't watched the very last few episodes. Am I missing out?

The Dark Knight is probably my favorite comic book film. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is up there as well.

I bet you didn't know some of my faves are comics or graphic novels.

Wait...wha? The thread is called Top Comic Book Movies. I'm confused.

My all time favorite is of course the 90's Turtle flick. One of the best adaptations out there taking several TMNT issues and making one epic movie, with a dash of the OT, but not too much.

I also like Superman 2. It was fun. Either version is great, though I gave to take some points off the Donner cut for the recycled "spin the earth backwards, reverse time" ending from the first movie.

As for animated movies, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is easily one of my favorites, if not my favorite Batman movie. Even better, IMO, than the Nolan trilogy.

Am I the only one who actually likes Ang Lee's Hulk?

[Jester]

It's not THAT bad... but I prefer the re-make/boot.

The new anime definatly gets a lot further than the other animes did in terms of telling the story, it's not too bad, but, like the still struggling Manga, it doesnt resolve everything at the end, and there's no plans for a follow-up series. I don't think Guyver is very popular in Japan, it's biggest fanbase is in the West.

I thought Lee's Hulk did a much better job explaining the Hulk's origin... perhaps even coming close to spending too much time on it.

[Rikirk]

While not perfect, Ghost Rider and the Punisher films werent all that bad....

That's because Incredible Hulk just preceded from the assumption you knew the hulk's origin...it didn't tell/explain it.

understood. just saying the reboot might not have made sense to those who missed or skipped Lee's version.

One thing I am remembering off the top of my head that I didn't like about Lee's Hulk was that Hulk was jumping miles in a single bound. I never read HULK comics but I thought I read somewhere that he did that in the books, but still. That was a bit silly in a movie.

I am sure I would find many more gripes with HULK if I went back and watched it... but I'd rather not.

not just in the comics, but he also did it in the 90's cartoon series.


So, I loved the heck out of it that he traveled that way, but besides of the high jumping, the animation was good, but lacked weight. when Hulk was walking or fighting he felt too light or floating.

There's a minute-long origin sequence at the very beggining of the movie that paid homage to the 70s series. If people didnt catch or "understand" that there just f'ing stupid.

Way too much time on it. It ended up bogging the movie down.

I guess Dark Knight would be #1 on my list. I know that's what most people would pick, but it stands out as being a great movie overall.

My favorite comic book movie from last year was Captain America. With the excessive amount of superhero movies in recent years, being a WWII period superhero movie helps it stand out.
