RichWS Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I've always felt like so alone in loving Ang Lee's Hulk. I've defended that movie for years.I think the rest of those movies are terrible though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 5. Elektra Why it's despised: Sure, it has a lack of action. Sure, some of the villains are pretty lame. Sure, the ending is contrived. And sure, the girl's kind of annoying. Why I liked it: But, once you get past that, it has a pretty original premise(for a superhero flick) and the action that is there isn't half bad. I like Typhoid Mary plus it's got Jennifer Garner kicking butt, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Terence Stamp. Not as horribly bad as it's made out to be. Why I feel it gets a bad rap: It just came out too soon after the Catwoman debacle. That and Daredevil didn't exactly make a run at The Godfather or Shawshank's spot as best movie of all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 4. Daredevil Why it's despised: Uneven is not even close to describing this thing. One minute you have overwrought drama as a kid watches(sorry, hears) his father die, then the next you have some goofy sparring session in a schoolyard playground. The Director's cut, helps some of this, but not all of it. Corny dialogue galore and more than questionable courtroom drama(Are they lawyers or prosecutors?) Why I liked it: Stylish action. A good origin tale. The Director's Cut adds an entire new storyline that really fixes a lot of the thematic issues with the theatrical cut. The music is fun and fits the scenes well. Colin Farrell hamming it up as Bullseye is a treat. And Michael Clarke Duncan makes you forget that the Kingpin is supposed to be white. Why I feel it gets a bad rap: The theatrical cut is so over edited that it's nearly incoherent. Give the Director's cut a shot, you might be surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 3. The Punisher(2004) Why it's despised: Some of the acting is just downright terrible(Especially by Travolta at the end). Even by Jane. Also uneven storytelling as what should be a very dark story has some rather campy moments seemingly shoehorned in. Personally, I hate the parts where The Punisher partakes in an elaborate ruse in an attempt to make the villain think he's being cheated on. The Punisher I know would have just made elaborate plans to go in and shoot the bastards that killed his family. Not place a fake fire hydrant to keep people from taking his parking place. Why I liked it: While some of the campy elements may seem out of place, most are straight from the comic of the time. Most people hate the fight with The Russian, but it's one of my favorite scenes. I like how he befriends the strange people in the apartment complex and helps them from time-to-time. I really felt like they all really cared for each other. Plus the scene when his family gets killed is pretty thrilling. Why I feel it gets a bad rap: After the cheesy 1989 straight to video movie, I think most fans were hoping for a huge improvement but instead left feeling(and rightfully so) that the 1989 version wasn't nearly as bad as they thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 2. Hulk(2003) Why it's despised: Random shots of driftwood. No, seriously, look up uneven in the film dictionary, this film's poster is what you would see. Deep, psychological subject matter is juxtaposed by goofy comic book panels and ridiculous flying cutout bodies. Plus, that ending is just so odd. Still trying to understand it nearly 10 years out. Why I liked it: I get it, Ang. I do. You were attempting to make a superhero arthouse drama. But the studio wouldn't let you go completely out there. So you were saddled with a lot of editing and Danny Elfman(Glad about that one) to make the film more conventional. I think you succeeded at making an interesting psychological monster movie... Why I feel it gets a bad rap: ..but failed at making a great HULK movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 The best thing about Punisher was that theme song from the soundtrack. "Broken", I think it was called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommycruise Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 1. Fantastic Four Why it's despised: It's a Superhero comedy Why I liked it: It's a Superhero comedy Why I feel it gets a bad rap: It's a Superhero comedy Every scene with Chris Evans is enjoyable, but the rest of the movie is pretty lame, especially since it barely has any action.

MagnetMan Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yeah, I liked Daredevil when it first came out. That's my favorite comic character and it was 2003 - fairly early in the Marvel movie onslaught. Mostly, I was just thrilled to have him on the big screen after I had long-since decided it would never come to pass.As for the others, my collector's mentality pushes me to own all of them on Blu-ray whether I like them or not.
