If you watch many of the big-budget superhero movies, you’ll begin to notice how many stylistic and plot devices they have in common, especially when there are sequels and more sequels. With millions of dollars on the line, Hollywood isn’t about to take any chances! If you haven't seen that many of the movies, Cracked has a guide to the eight rules comic book movie series must follow. Link -via Digg
"Michael Keaton's Batman fought the Joker first, then found himself simultaneously taking on the combination of the Penguin and Christopher Walken."
i love that the villain himself is just Christopher Walken. hilarious.
In fact the only other way they enjoy a movie is if they just happen to be in a good mood, which doesn't happen often because they spend most of their day finding problems with anything and everything.
I really tire of these opinionated windbags that feel the need to poo-poo stuff in almost any field. (movies, books, video games, etc...)
I wasn't a big fan of the article either, but I've also only seen a couple of the mentioned movies.
1. The main protagonist will battle it out mano y mano with the final bad ass villain, equal in size or much larger.
2. Said battle will occur in a major metropolitan city, so there can be amazing scenes of cars being upturned and tossed like toys, chunks of building being torn off, and panicked citizens running and screaming from the melee. Thank goodness for annoying computer graphics!
3. The U.S. military will ALWAYS figure into a comic book movie, complete with scenes of jets firing rockets, tanks firing shells, and crazy generals wanting their piece of the action.
