Lets count the number of westerns and compare it to the number of super hero movies. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:03 6
- 99% of the movies in every genre are usually crap. the fact that hollywood made a whole bunch of crappy westerns and a handful of great ones does not - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 12:04 5
  - I would say the ratio of good to crap is running a lot better with the super hero movies. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:07 4
    - Did you SEE the second Fantastic Four? That alone cancels out at least half-a-dozen "good" ones. -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 12:11 3
      - Daredevil! Elektra! Catwoman!! -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 12:12 2
        
        Daredevil was not crap. And what can be said, female super hero? -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:19 1
