Marvel Movies

Oh FOX Studios, whatever did you think you were doing creating movies of characters so far beyond your grasp. I have recently re-watched the Dare Devil movie, X-men movies as well as the Marvel Studio’s Iron Man and Hulk. I have to say that the difference in story line, character development and understanding as well as overall enjoy ability is remarkable. I truly hope that Marvel can take back X-men rights some day and make a movie that doesn’t cause me physical pain.

The storyline in the first X-men movie was poor but forgivable, there need to use Rogue as a popular character but not keep her true to the comics or cartoon was hurtful and the fact that she was in place of Jubilee was just sad. Then the second movie came, it had promise, some interesting plot and I think Cyclops had only 3 lines in the entire movie. Then the third broke the mold and not in a positive way. The Phoenix story was absurd and the death of Cyclops was unneeded, ignored and never truly dealt with.

It was extremely hard to take the trilogy seriously and it was sad that such good actors were wasted on such a terrible plot and execution of the X-men as I knew and loved them.

Finally Marvel Studios has taken flight and is creating a few movies with amazing plots and character development that will eventually lead us to The Avengers! The characters all have their proper costumes so far, they are interesting and up to date and extremely enjoyable. Congratulations on your recent release of Iron Man 2 Marvel. It was amazing and I can’t wait for Thor and Captain America to come out and blow me away!

daredevil isn't as awful as it seems. as for the x-men franchise it was a novelty when it first came out to see comic book heroes with good special fx but i'll never understand how bondage leather jump suits are less lame than blue and yellow spandex. as for marvel movies so far so good but it's easier to make a bad movie than a good movie so lets see how long marvel can keep it up though i'm hoping for good

Daredevil isn't awful, it's quite good for a Marvel movie before Marvel Studios started creating their own, but I believe that the CG was over used especially when they could have got a stunt double who could actually do some of the scenes.

I really wanted to see the costumes on the X-men characters, and I was a little let down by Rogue (which is my Favourite X-men female) in just filling in the Jubilee role, though I did enjoy a lot of the casting as I love Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin.
