    OK list those films that made you shudder with the thought that you at some point LIKED that title.

    Have any films just made you rethink ever getting a comic again?

    Links favourable but i've found one that some of you may have heard about....

    The 1992/3 Fantastic Four movie. It's like a bad B-Movie/Traumaville 'Toxic Avenger' Film

    I mean the (hehhe) special effects (hehhehehe) are pathetic. Remember this film came out AFTER the original Batman movie.

    There's also the TV film of Generation X....don't have a link atm but just came arcoss this and HAD to show it.

    I didn't even know about the Fantastic Four film. The most recent comic book film that should never of been made was Batman and Robin. The old Spider-man film was terrible aswell and the less we talk about the really old Batman film the better :)
    I don't see Batman vs Superman amounting to much either :/

    OK i've managed to find the original 1992/3 Fantastic 4 move on avi at about 320 size. I've got it if anyone wants it :) 260MB.

    I haven't seen it yet but i'm going to later so gimme a shout if you want it

    Captain America (1990) was pretty awful.

    And lets not forget Judge Dredd either.

    Dunno - I kinda liked Judge Dredd. I mean from a non-die hard fan point of view.

    Stalone was a great type cast for the role and the sidekick comedy duo bit was good too :)

    V For Vendetta *should* be made but probably wont.
    The guys behind the matrix are said to be really interested in making it but havent heard anything else about it.
    Would love them to make it, would hate Spielberg to make it.

    What about "The Punisher" movie starring Dolph Lungren? Pure, undiluted crap.
    We can only hope they give it another go with Garth Ennis writing.

    Watchmen should never ever *ever* be made in to a film. It would lose far too much in the translation.

    I actually have that on video somewhere. I only seen it once, years ago, but I remember enjoying it. I'll have to dig it out again.

    /me goes searching for the forbidden film......

    They were gonna make a watchman film. BUT it would've cost $1m per page <the small special effects like the new cars etc overlaid on manhattan were the factor here> so they decided that they wouldn't do it. They were either gonna do it right or not at all. Which was good.

    Whatever happened to the Mort movie? <there was a trade paperback version so i can justify mentioning>

    heh... imagine a The Authority film... actually... that'd probably kick ass... if done right.

    Urgh... The Flash TV Movies were ok if i remember, but i'm probably wrong... so long since i saw them.

    And what about The Mask? It was ok first time but got so old so fast... except Cameron Diaz... mmm...
