Has anyone seen the movie? I read an article about it being pulled from theaters because it bombed at the box office.
I didn't see it, but I know a few people that did and they said it was actually pretty good. I just think the super hero/comic genre is starting to die in the theatres.
I saw it not terribly long ago and I thought the same (pretty good.)
I agree that the super hero/comic genre is starting to die in theaters. Jack Herman (yeah, THAT "Jack Herman") wrote an article about it several years ago comparing the super-hero movie trend to the monster-movie trend from the black-and-white days. After a while, people just got "burned out" on them and the genre went away. Some of them are classics to this day but the release date was "wrong."
I suspect that's what's happening here. It took longer for the genre to wear out but that's probably because "hype" is much more powerful today.
I still enjoyed the movie, though. I have just enough ignorance of the lore to actually appreciate and even enjoy the dishonor they likely did to the character.
No, I don't have a link to the Jack Herman article. It's probably on teh Monkey House Games website...?
