I actually meant the character.

The first two Spiderman movies are my favourite superhero movies ever.

Probably has something to do with not everyone having the same opinion as you and cheesy comicbook movies being kinda bad.

I also liked the first two Spider-Man movies. Spider-Man is my favorite comic book character. While I'm not a fan of Tobey Maguire's acting, I do think the movies were entertaining as a whole.

Spiderman 2 is still the best comic book movie ever. It didn't try and play with the audience. You got Spiderman. You got a villain. You got action. You got a great movie.

Nolans Batman movies on the other hand relied too heavily on sophisticated characters and story that it kind of zapped the fun out of Superhero movies. The new Spiderman will follow suit, and I'm sure the new X-men movie will too. Shame.

Yes, who wants sophisticated characters and story after all. And if you want 'fun' Batman, go and watch the 1960s TV series.

I have nothing against the Nolans Batman movies I just think they have influenced the genre in a negative way. Punchy comic book movies like Spiderman 2 are going to be replaced by arthouse movies essentially.

I like my comic book movies to be filled with two-dimensional characters where good and bad is clearly defined. Those movies are usually more fun and aren't stretching 3 hours in length.

So box office busting action movies with a little more plot and dialogue than what we're used to are arthouse movies now?

Take another look at Batman Begins. It is essentially an arthouse movie dressed up at a summer blockbuster. Although anything that assosiated it with summer blockbusters was handled poorly. Neither Batman films had any thrilling action setpieces if I recall. Some good acting though.

I was specifically talking about comic book movies in this case. But your right, I did like Avatar. Believe it or not that movie, with all its wooden dialogue and two-dimensional characters, has a leg up over a lot of movies.

I thought movies were about storytelling not just pretty visuals. My bad.

If you want a story, read a book.

Christopher Nolan should just make all the super hero movies, but I don't think he can make any Superman movie good. Too lame of a super hero.
