Which Comic Book Movie Will Suck the hardest?
I'm not really a big fan of most comic book movies, the rocketeer and dick tracy were about the only two I did like.

I read the comic and I thought it was a good concept, but nothing WOW tacular.
Also anyone here read 30 days of night or creature tech?
Both of those are getting adapted but I've never read them.
Y the last man also got picked up, again cool concept but that was about it.

I guess LXG will bomb. Audiences will be all drained out by the time it comes out, and they've already had their mass orgasm with X2 and Matrix Reloaded.

30 Days of Night is pretty good. Minimalist but not sure it can make the transition to theaters. Still, vampire movies always develop cult followings and I think this one is likely to.

Simply going by those choices listed I'd have to say Catwoman even without any production being started will be god awful. I'm a big fan of the director, but his style will not translate well for American audiences. The movie has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do w/ the comic book except for the name being the same, & I just can't see Halle "big head" Berry being able to carry an action movie.
At of all of those listed Hellboy will be the best pure comic bok to movie translation.

Studios will do anything to get a leg up on the competition.

LXG will suck IMMENSELY.
Also, the only reason to see The Hulk would be to see the amazingly attractive Jennifer Connelly. Other than that.....
Hulk was at most nine ft. tall in all his comic versions (Grey Hulk, etc.). In this film, he's close to twenty stories tall it seems! What the heck is that? Hulk was NEVER that big. Bring it on comic fanboys. I have comics to prove he wasn't as big as a tank height-wise.

Hulk with Wonder Woman a close second.
I think LXG looks pretty cool, but then again I haven't read the comic book either. JMO
