I loved Hellboy and Constantine, but again, never knew anything about the source texts.

I can't quite bring myself to say I loved Constantine, because on just about every objective level I can look at it with, it was really not a good movie. But Tilda Swinton and Keanu have a way of making me go all wibbly and fangirly over things that otherwise don't deserve it, so...yeah.

I'm not sure there are words to express my love for Amazing Screw-on Head. It was like someone scooped out the "THINGS JESS REALLY LIKES, SUBCAT STEAMPUNK" part of my brain and put it on TV.

Also? Really, REALLY funny. I've shown my DVD to a few people, and they've totally lost it laughing.

I think top of my list for comics movies is Batman Begins.

Oh hell yes. Although I have a shameful fondness for the second Tim Burton Batman movie (Batman Returns, maybe?), with the Penguin and Catwoman.

Spider-Man was pretty damned good, too, as was Spider-Man 2.

Let us NEVER speak of Spider-Man 3 again, though. I am the world's hugest Spidey fangirl, but I loathe Spider-Man 3 with the kind of loathing I reserve for Magnolia. After it was over, the first words out of my mouth to The Boy were, "I'm SO sorry I made you come with me to see this."

Fucking dance scene. Ptui.

I think top of my list for comics movies is Batman Begins.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

I liked Hellboy a lot, though I was only passingly familiar with the source material until after the movie came out.

I did not like Constantine, but I think a lot of that had to do with Keanu Reeves. He did not seem like a way cynical seen-too-much inadvertent sorceror as he did Neo-Redux But With Theology.

Liked the first two Spidey movies, hated the third.

Liked the first two X-Men movies, hated the third.

And I have a great love for Superman Returns, though I know there are a lot of folk here who didn't like it.

I'm not sure I've ever had cause to say this, but: MM, get outta my brain!

I'm thrilled for this summer's comic book/adventure movies -- Iron Man, Dark Knight, Indiana Jones.

What else am I forgetting? Is Hellboy 2 this summer?

And I have a great love for Superman Returns, though I know there are a lot of folk here who didn't like it.

Like Green Goblin?

Green Goblin: Oh, yeah, why would you want to watch someone fight in a superhero action movie when you could watch someone think?! "Coming this summer: Lex Luthor thinks!" How did that pitch meeting go? "Ready for this, guys? Lex Luthor's gonna THINK!" "How much?" "$200 million!" "Sold!"
Lex Luthor: Actually, only some of it was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally, the explaining of the plan, which I had plotted after I'd thought of it.

Really looking forward to Iron Man.

You should have seen the barely under the surface frustration I was causing my husband the other night about this movie.

"I'm so excited for Iron Man!"

t blank stare from me

"You know? Iron Man? Comic book movie?"

t blank stare turns to knowing t starts humming "Iron Man"

"NO NO NO!! That's Ozzy Osbourne! Not [insert name of Iron Man]"

I *loved* Superman Returns. And I really didn't expect to, going in - I expressly dislike Kate Bosworth, have become increasingly skeptical of Kevin Spacey, and the idea of another Superman movie was kind of meh. But I wound up falling completely head over heels for it.

(Though it's another on that list of "don't really want the DVD because the big screen experience was so BIG" movies, so I haven't seen it since it was in theatres. I'm just not sure how it'd play on a television.)
