I agree with this. I will also say I loved Iron-man and Batman. You are right though same formula.

Event that turns person into superhero. Event that turns villain into super villain. Superhero gets ass kicked. Superhero learns from mistake and kicks supervillains ass at the end.

I don't think following a "formula" is necessarily a bad thing for a movie, as long as the movie does something interesting with it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 6, 12:47
Oh I left out something. Superhero explores new superpowers sometimes crashing, falling, for comedy purposes. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:45 9
- I'm guessing you and CT aren't comic readers. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:51 8
  - You are right. I am not a comic reader. I love em when it's done right. I hate em when it's done wrong (IE Spider-man 3) -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:53 7
    - I haven't seen Spider-Man 3 in a long time but I never understood the hatey for that movie. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:54 6
      - There were only a couple of scenes in the movie that I couldn't stand (spoilers) - Stephen Jun 6, 13:02 1

      - Halfway through Spider-man 3 RC, Guy and Myself were laughing AT IT. It was so stupidly horrid it became funny as hell. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:57 3
        
        At the final sequence I was crying from laughing so hard at Guy's Tobey McGuire Venom impression. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:58 2
        
        See, I liked that scene cause it was the kind of wacky stuff they used to do in the comic in the '70s. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 6, 13:20 1
        
        HATED IT! I don't trust your reviews anymore now. Unless you are paying for my wine. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 13:22
