Mini Comic-Movie Re-Watch...?
Feb. 18th, 2013 01:47 pmI pulled out Spiderman 2 to watch this afternoon. This is the first time I've re-watched it in years, which is weird because the movie only came out in 2004 (!). I remember loving the hell out of it when I first saw it in theaters, but checking it out again the typical Raimi-isms in regards to film gimmicks are a bit annoying (what is with his love of filming women screaming in terror?).
BUT, what it has me pondering is a comic book movie re-watch. An organized sort of re-watch, starting with Superman (1978). Off the top of my head I'm trying to think of movies that I could theoretically add to the Comic Movies Re-watch List (non-animated category). What I have so far:
Superman I
Superman II
Superman III
Superman IV (shudder)
Batman
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin (shudder)
Dark City (? dammit, I just feel like throwing it in there)
Constantine
Spiderman
Spiderman II
Spiderman III (shudder)
X-Men
X-2
X-3 (shudder)
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (shudder)
The Amazing Spiderman
Iron Man
Iron Man 2 (meh)
Captain America
Thor
Avengers (YAYZ)
X-Men: First Class
Damn. Longer list than I thought. And shit went crazy re: comic book movies right right after X-Men came out.
What movies should be added? Removed? Anyone interested in joining in if I make this more organized (set up a blog and viewing schedule, solicit reviews from participants)? Maybe we can get word out to get some more folks on board...?
