Comic Book Movies

Comic Book Movies are nothing but movies based on comic books burn up the box offices every year. From the Batman movies of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s to the more recent X-Men, Spider-Man and Hulk flicks, these big-budgets, eye-candy spectaculars make huge coin by using pre-existing characters to give Hollywood some much-needed franchises in terms of Comic Book Movies. Undoubtedly Comic Book Movies are getting popular these days amongst every age group not just teens.

But let us not forget that before the films, came comics. You can see a pile of Comic Book Movies adapted films, from Spider-Man 2 and The Punisher to Hellboy and Catwoman. The hot trend in Comic Book Movies are their heroes, giving movie goers access to new vistas of the imagination previously limited to comic book readers.

Comic Book Movies are quickly becoming the new action movies of the 21st century. Spurred by the success of X-men in 2000 and last years Spiderman year2003 three Comic Book Movies all by Marvel will come to the big screen. But this movie is not like its two Marvel predecessors as it is a much darker and more mature movie.

Although the Comic Book Movies officially carried a PG-13 rating the movie had to be edited twice to get it down from its original R rating. That being said these movies are easily on caliber with Spiderman and might even be better movies. Last years success used a lot of the similar plot lines and action to progress its story but most of its love scenes came off as cheesy and corny at times taking away from the movie. Daredevil is full of its own love and romance but they are way better done and not so tedious.

Affleck and Garner make the perfect couple in the movie as Matt and Electra and had great chemistry including their own rain soaked kiss. The action is superb as the actors studied for months to perfect their martial arts skills and the movie moves from one fight scene to the next with relative ease. This keeps the tempo of the movie going really well once the movie gets past its character development stages. If something could be said about the movie it would be those development stages, as they seem slow in comparison to the rest of the movie and you can’t wait for the action to get going.

Consider this the Golden Age of Comic Book Movies, but don't get used to it. Don't be fooled by the blockbusters with their Maguires and Afflecks wearing tights and saving the world from box-office boredom. Don't believe that the legion of A-list Celebes cast as noble, conflicted super beings can keep up the fight against big-budget bad guys for long.
