Of Iron Man and other superheroes

So what do spiderman, superman, batman, hulk, and Iron Man have in common? They are all made into real life heroes on the big screen. Sorry, i forgot the others but im pretty sure there are more and more yet to come. It seems to be the latest trend in cinema. From what i heard, G.I. Joe is slated to be shown on 2009. And there's talks about doing a wonder woman film :)

Now i wonder if making these cartoon characters into big screen movie is a wise decision after all? If we are talking in financial terms perhaps yes is the answer. It's a no brainer as everytime there is a superhero movie, cinema lines increase a hundred fold. But, in terms of memory value or artistic value is it really that good?? Sometimes doing a movie creates more damage to the superhero image.

Am i making sense at all? You might think im talking gibberish here... ok, yes, maybe i am. i guess all i wanted to say was, personally (just my humble opinion) the Iron Man Movie is not that great! :P sorry, for those who feels otherwise. maybe i am just not a huge fan of iron man.

It won't hurt to say that you don't like the movie since you are entitled to your own opinion.

Anyway, I was actually planning on watching the movie. But decided otherwise.

I think digital characters are cheaper than live actors/actresses but anyway, can I ask a little favor? Can you please vote for my church's entry for the AcerBiz contest to win an LCD Projector? Our church really needs one. Thanks! :)
