I never cared for the Superman movies--boring. Spiderman was plain; Spiderman 2 was quite good. Both X-Men movies were kind of lifeless, and the gay subtext is just silly. I like the score CD to Batman Begins, though many won't because it's dark and doesn't have a heroic theme like the Elfman scores.

I don't know why, but no superhero movie has really hit me in the way the comics did when I was a kid. I think the speed of comics--you set the pace while reading them--is unable to be replicated in films.

Spiderman was plain

The first two Superman movies were good - I saw them as a child and found them very effective - especially Superman2.

I liked Spiderman and loved Spiderman2.

I agree the X-Men movies can be bland if you are not into them but they were not really that bad and pulled off the storyline better than one would think. The Hulk failed because the director missed what the Hulk was - it is Mr. Hyde meets the nuclear age. The modern Hulk movie should have been Mr. Hyde meets the DNA age.

What gay subtext?
