If we could get the world to care about quality over quantity, we would both be a lot happier, I think. I am still thankful that these films, however shitty, have been made. Now I, if not more people, can check that wish off the list and move on to the next one. I do recall, as a twelve year old, never wishing for the X-Men movies to be good, only that they were made. So, I guess you really do have to watch what you wish for. I wished for X-Men and I got them. It also does not hurt to have low standards when it comes to films. Anyways, good show ol’ chap for battling with me over this issue.

Perhaps if we (the viewing public and original audience for the sources of these movies) demanded better then more of them would be good on every level, as opposed to one-weekend-crapped-out-moneymakers for our corporate masters.

My point is that when viewing a movie based on something from your childhood, watch it for the entertainment value not for the quality of artistry. If the film happens to be good, it is a pleasant surprise. If the film is not ground breaking, it was at least entertaining because your childhood dreams were realized on the big screen. Prime example : The Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton. Not brilliant, but entertaining.

Witness:
Star Wars IV: A New Hope
Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Superman (the original)
Space Camp
The Last Starfighter
and so on
