I kinda know how this feels. I've gone "I LOOOOOVE sci-fi set in earth's future! It's so awesome!" But actually, the only sci-fi set in earth's future that I really love is Star Trek. I don't really love anything else. Well, there is Doctor Who, but that's different — it's not the actual setting of the show or anything, it's just one of the concepts they explore.

But maybe you felt that way because you still like the *idea* of comic book movies and would be interested in future ones, even though the only existing comic book movie you ever liked was The Dark Knight?

[deadtree]

I kinda feel you. There was a period when I was all about dystopian lit, but then I realized I just liked the Hunger Games and all the other dystopian books I had read didn't really hold my interest.

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

hahahaha, that's okay

anyway if The Dark Knight was the only one to really do it for you, you should check out more crime dramas and mob movies.

you should check out more crime dramas and mob movies.

yeah...as objectively good as TDK is from a filmmaking standpoint, it doesn't really feel like a comic book movie to me (which may be why I wouldn't rank it high on my list of favorite comic book movies. It feels more like a crime/heist movie...with a guy in a bat costume thrown in.

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

Exactly. This guy on youtube was reviewing TDKR and he said that the Nolan series were all movies about Batman, but they're really not comic-book movies at all - that Batman Begins feels like a horror movie, the Dark Knight like a crime movie (like, they all have criminals, but it's reeeally about cops and mobsters and rats in this one), and Rises like a war movie. And I almost exploded from the truth bombs goddamn

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, you're hardly a comic-book fan if you don't hyphen your Spider-Mans. Kidding, kidding ;) I don't think anyone would really take issue with your realization, people & tastes change all the time. And that's a good thing!

[citrinesunset]

I feel this way about horror movies a lot. I call myself a horror fan, but then I realize that I'm very picky, and that there aren't that many horror movies I actually like. It's more that I enjoy them occasionally, and there are a few that I like a lot.

[(Anonymous)]

The question is whether or not you're reading comics at all. Frankly, you need to know the source material to be a true fan. You don't have to buy the books every week or own all the TPBs. Hell, you don't even have to be that into the DC/Marvel stuff, so long as you know your comics and know your roots. If you aren't into THAT, then you were never a comic book movie fan.

And that's okay.

[intrigueing]

lol no

You can be a comic book movie fan without reading or wanting to read the comics. Don't coat your patronizing bullshit in "And that's okay."

/major comics fan AND comic book movie fan

[dazzledfirestar]

Awww, that's cute, anon. Keep telling yourself that. A steady diet of bullshit will do you wonders, I'm sure.

[(Anonymous)]

I know what you mean. I thought of myself as a sci-fi fan until I actually thought about it and realised the only sci-fi shows I love are Star Trek and Stargate Atlantis (and I watch a bit of Doctor Who every now and then) but I've never even seen any others. I've never even seen Star Wars.

[fickletastictot]

I probably shouldn't even be commenting on this thread because I have not seen any of the new Marvel movies, Green Lantern and TDKR, but here goes!

Basically, the only comic book-based movies I've ever truly loved were Mystery Men and Constantine. (Well, okay, Batman & Robin was a childhood fave too, but it was only '90s Batman movie I owned in VHS growing up.) Everything else was either lacking/insubstantial or too heavy. This includes often overlooked as-comic book-based movies this Ghost World, Tank Girl, and The Adventures of Tintin. The ones I've seen or remember seeing more than once anyway. :3

[lentils]

Drive-by Mystery Men love!

[ecoerrante]

Mmm...personally I agree with you about The Avengers [I haven't seen the other two, so.] But for me that was because they just had way too many view points they were trying to squeeze into too short a time. It was something like 8 different people they were following for most of the movie, so it just felt disjointed and spread a little too thin to really work for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, that's pretty strange, because I actually came away really impressed and surprised that they managed to have a focused, coherent story where all the characters, even Hawkeye who had so little screentime, worked properly and had emotional depth and purpose for their role in the plot and flowed together and bounced off each other perfectly and didn't feel disjointed or spread thin at all, like I was pretty concerned they might be (well, maybe they felt a little disjointed at the beginning before the scene at Stuttgart, but after that they were shockingly un-squashed and un-scattered and seemed to just go together naturally). Diff'rent strokes I guess, huh? I wonder how such opposing impressions get left on different viewers...maybe it's due to different expectations going in?

But TDKR, on the other hand, was exactly how you described: despite having fewer characters then the Avengers, it felt like the plot could barely hold the characters together at all, and it reminded me of those scenes in a soap opera where the episode has a long line of separate scenes featuring each character/character interaction, which each lasts for a few minutes, then abruptly switches to the next scene with different characters that feels almost completely unrelated.

[velvet_mace]

Well, at least you are being honest with yourself now. Or else you have just grown out of your taste of movies and looking back in retrospect, you don't like them as much as you did.

It's no big deal either way.

I'm kind of the opposite of you because I more or less liked all the superhero movies except the Dark Knight movie, which I utterly hated.
