Harumph. I am NOT a movie critic!

I agree, sort of. I wasn't particularly looking forward to seeing this movie, again based on reviews and what can only be described as a dismal trailer. It was much better than anticipated. I wouldn't put it anywhere near the level of the first Spiderman, though. Hopefully this weekend I'll FINALLY get to see Batman Begins (I know, I know...the people I was with this weekend had already seen it). If not that, definitely Cinderella Man (about a genuine hometown hero )
As good as the X-Men flicks (the X-men have "cooler" powers), but at times the film seems like the director might have rushed production, or something.
The biggest bias I had was seeing Batman Begins. I though Spiderman was a homerun (finally) for this genre, but Batman Begins (IMO) was a grand slam.
Now, I am not saying that Fantastic Four was a total disappointment. To use the analogy above, more like a double.
I'd like to know why the Punisher got panned so badly. Did no one see Dolph Lundgren in the first attemt? The second punisher was at least watchable!!!
Anyone who is a fan of the Batman Comics....Batman Begins is the best Batman film by far in that it stayed truer to the comic book characters than any of the previous 4.
