Default Comix to Movies Going Overboard?

I've never really been a fan of comix but i know my fair share about em. With the recently converted X-Men from comix to a movie a shizt load of these are now coming to a theater near u. I liked X-Men and will mostly like the sequel but now we've got movies being made on comic book characters like aquaman, ghostrunner? something like that, a remake of the incredible hulk, wonderwoman, fantastic four and not to mention spiderman, remakes of batman and superman. Ughh now batman and spiderman and xmen i can live with but now aquaman wtf!!! this is going to far and this movie will most likely be a stupid flop(sorry if im dissing aquaman fans) it seems as if hollywood is only doing these conversions just to make money it kinda makes me wanna puke..............

comic books should not be made into movies!

An Ironman movie would be the only comic movie I would ever go see, well, maybe X-Men 2?

Blade is based on a Comic Book.

The upcoming movie From Hell is based on a "graphic novel."

I actually think that if moviemakers capture the spirit of what made the comics popular (assuming that the comic is popular), a good movie can fairly easily be made from a comic. The only problem is idiotic fanatics expect every detail to be just right, not realizing that it's not the point.

And then screw it up: Batman Forever, Batman & Robin

Yeah...I sorta did that when X-Men came out...

...and I'd do it again if I had the chance...and will soon.
