Thomas Hayden Church is the most underrated actor in Hollywood after Gary Oldman.
Thanks so much, JohnnyZ
I find the the ‘tribulations’ of Spiderman and his alter ego Peter Parker annoying.
To date the hot looking chick, or to not date the hot looking chick....sorry, that isn’t ‘the question’ thats stupidity writ large....(chuckle)
When are they going to come out with a Green Lantern movie?
Wow. No wonder they opened Spider-Man 3 in Tokyo. Fewer Christian-bashers there among the reviewers.
He was good as the doomed music lover who wanted to hear ‘My Dog Trey’ . . .
Marvel comics have often borrowed slightly biblical inspirations.
No surprise.
I noticed this with Spiderman II.
Black Goo from outer space that embodies the evil in all of us?
That was a plot for a Star Trek: The Next Generation shows, the one where Tasha Yar was killed.
In a world where moral relativism is extoled its nice to see a hero who embodies
"truth, justice and the American Way!".

I’m annoyed but understand the reason to completely simplify Venom’s origin. That being said, Marvels’ Secret Wars should have been made into a movie or CGI cartoon before now. That’s one of the best story lines of comics I have ever read. That’s the one series I was waiting eagerly month to month for.

It's the easiest way to launch into a "shadow" story, wherein the traits that we've held down all our lives turn into something evil. If we can integrate the things we're afraid of in ourselves, we can redeem them and they make us stronger and better.
"If you bring forth that which is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth that which is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
Problem with trying to do the Secret Wars as a movie is all the intros. You can’t really make a movie that’s just for people who remember the original comic series, so all those heroes and villains (over 50 in all as I remember) would have to be introduced, that could take well over half the movie. Either that or they’d have to chop out most of the characters. While Secret Wars was a great set of comics (we’ll ignore Secret Wars II cause that sucked) I just don’t think it’s filmable.
Isn’t the green lantern heavily involved with gay issues? There is even a green lantern gay club.
I liked better the way the original Star Trek provided for that, when they split Kirk in two with the transporter.
ST-TNG did a poor imitation of that excellent show by splitting Will (Number One), showing how the same person would develop different personalities based solely on environment.
these are banning words on some sites.
Great tagline - it pretty much sums up the rise and fall of western civ.
It would have to be at minimum, a trilogy. A good chunk of the heroes were well known, but I agree the villains would need more intro.
