I remember the days when there were so few comic-book movies that I saw every one I could in the theatre, no matter how bad it looked (Howard the Duck! Return of Swamp Thing!!). When Batman came out, I saw the damn thing nine times.Wow, how things have changed.
There have been so many movies adapted from comics now, that it just occurred to me that Ghost Rider is currently in theatres, and I have zero drive to see it. And next month is 300, and I'm on the fence for that one, too. I've seen so many weak comic book films, walked out of them so disappointed at the sheer amount of lameness that money can buy, that I pretty much only see ones I get hugely excited over (Superman Returns, the next Batman, called The Dark Knight).
Still waiting for Aquaman: The Movie, of course. Someday...

I got to see it, and it's not a bad movie. I went into it as a Ghost Rider fan, but that could go either way - NOTHING good enough to meet the incredible movie you were hoping for, or that you're so in love with the character you forgive a lot of things that shouldn't have been in the movie (Superman Returns).
My assesment - there was some silly stuff in there but overall it was a decent comic book movie. It was a better effort than Daredevil (by the same director), but not in the Spider-Man/Batman Begins category (which the studio must have agreed with by not previewing the film for reviewers)
