I think a couple duds can derail a character, but I don't think there's a chance, anytime soon, that the genre is going to subside. If you consider Superman: The Movie was the first mainstream character to get a major release in '78, studios have been cranking them out for 37 years...Towen7 said:Batman said:...as long as they're making BIG $$$.

I hope you're right. But just a couple of duds can derail that train for a long time. These movies are not cheap to produce and the movie going public can be fickle. What's encouraging is that the studios appear to have learned from past mistakes and seek out producers and directors who know and respect the characters and the story lines.
Srvy said:Honestly I just never read them. Comics were available my brother read a little and they were around the house. Me and my brother were more into sports. The Kansas City Chiefs were good the AFL was intriguing to us. We watched then went out and played then watched some more. Our childhood was playing football,Baseball and basketball. When we weren't doing that we were taking our bb guns to the woods and stalking squirrels and rabbits. when we weren't playing sandlot sports with the neighbor kids we were begging Dad to take us hunting with him. There just wasn't that much time for comics.
I guess my breaking point for watching these movies was Man of Steel. My Son,Daughter Wife and I sat bored through this kids were restless. Then the pinball game of bounce off the building's of Metropolis began. It went on and on and on and on. When it finally ended I wanted to stand up and scream about time. What probably took only 10 minutes seemed like 1 hour. We dint see another till the second Thor released to Netflix. My son and I sat down began watch less than an hour in my son gets up goes back to his room and turns on the xbox and plays minecraft. I made another 10 minutes cut it off then sealed it and sent back to Netflix unfinished. I maxed out I guess.
