Another hater!!! I wonder if he even listens to Rush or Mark? He should, then maybe he can learn something. This is also why I can't get behind Paul, his followers are off their rockers.
Great heads up John, love Lillyhammer and hoping more of Netflix's original programming is just as good.
Also saw Ghost Rider, I actually liked the first one and this version is good though different. The first a true comic book origin story, this one a complete action flick.
BTW Mr Leeman, thanks for writing the article. Enjoying all the great comments, even the ones I may not agree with. Just happy to know there are a lot of comic book fans on this site:)
So I will be looking forward to the Avengers, something that's never been done in movie history. I will be the fat guy in the middle row geeking out with my son, passing on the torch and letting him know how lucky he is that he can watch an Avengers movie:)
I do not disagree with Mr. Leeman per se but as an old guy who grew up on this stuff, I think we as fans sometimes need to put things in perspective. Like I said, maybe it's because I am old but I am really enjoying what Marvel is doing with their stable of characters. Marvel Studios is really trying to bring the Marvel Universe to life in the movies and given the limitations of time that you have using movies as a medium for comics, I have been very impressed. Absolutely loved Iron Man and even Iron Man 2. The new Hulk with Norton was awesome and Thor was one of my favorite movies last year. Captain America surpassed all my expectations because there were so many things they could have done to mess it up but they stayed true to the character and actually made a great movie.
Call it old age but I remember a time when the thought of a comic book movie being made was a comic book geeks wet dream. I remember reading the back pages of comic scene magazine, looking for updates on when a spiderman, Xmen or Captain America film would be made. This was back in the late 80's early 90's when comic books were sooo popular. Sure studios would buy the rights or attach a director to a movie but nothing came of it. I know some people may not remember this but comics where really shunned by Hollywood and the public in general, like videogames. I mean, they just weren't taken seriously. Now, we have movies like Blade, Spiderman, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Xmen, etc. To top it off most of them are actually good and dare I say even great.
Lovin it!!! Will add this to my youtube account and Lisa Mei, you da bomb!!!!
Yeah, more Hollywood losers I can add to my list of people who I will not shell out money to go see in movie theatres. Also, never got HBO due to Maher but was considering getting it due to game of thrones. Thanks for this movie HBO, it helped bring me to my senses:)
You are just speaking truth Dana, don't worry we got your back:)
