It Begins...
I think that this millennium marks the beginning of superhero movies and good remakes. I'm looking forward to King Kong this December and Charlie & Chocolate Factory was quite good. (I'm actually very curious to see Sky High as well) In terms of superhero movies... here's my brief opinion.
Fantastic Four. To me, it did what it set out to do: bring a comic book to life. With a story slightly more similar to the Ultimate version, I thought it was solid. I thought the casting was on point and the movie was a overall very entertaining, and very fun. I enjoyed the FX and comedic timing. Grade: B
The Spidey movies: I thought the first one was okay. I wasn't such a huge fan of Kirsten Dunst, but Tobey was fine enough and William Dafoe was a great GG. However, a guy flying around on a glider seemed silly to me once it hit the big screen. Maybe, that's why I prefer Ultimate GG, he's more psycho and less campy. Spidey1:B+ Now I always said the best superhero movie is the one where you know who is behind the mask. And in Spidey 1, I got a character in a spidey suit. In Spidey2 I saw Peter Parker. Alfred Molina was just brilliant and felt so real. With great comedic moments, solid story, great casting (even Kirsten Dunst wasn't so bad this time), amazing FX, Spidey2 easily took number one spot with an A!.
That's until Batman... well the new one. Now this movie was so brilliantly casted and so beautifully setup I was literally at the edge of my seat. The tension, the drama, everything felt like one huge rollercoaster ride. The comedic moments, although not many, were just enough to keep balance in the emotion. This is the second movie I'm giving A.
X-Men Movies: I remember only a little bit of the first X movie. I though it was okay at the time, I have to re-watch it. But from what I remember, I say it deserved a B-. The casting was the best thing about it. Good fun superhero movie. Nothing much else. Now X2 featured the BEST opening sequence in a superhero movie EVER. And from there you just got hooked. That's why this movie gets a B+.
Hulk: Hmm... this movie had the most impressive CG. I think it's just amazing. It suffered from a drawn out story and terrible cinematography. I won't get into it. C.
Movies to See: Daredevil, Elektra, and Punisher. I'll get around to it. Hopefully sooner than later.
Here are two reviews for the Spiderman 2 game and Prince of Persia Sands of Time...
Tomorrow, Harry Potter 6 and maybe the games I'm excited for.
