Iron Man vs Speed Racer

[Worf101]

I don't think I said it the best ever. But I'd edit your list slightly. I thought Tales From The Crypt was a TV show? Yes, Spiderman 1 & 2 has way more heart than most any superhero movie. Its prolly best no other superhero even attempt it. Superman 1 has Christopher Reeves acting circles around everyone else (even Hackman), but it plods so badly in places (IMO of course). Batman Begins is the definitive Batman movie as far as I'm concerned, and I loved the Keaton version when it first came out. Christian Bale is the better Batman though, and more importantly, he's the better Bruce Wayne.

And I always forget about Conan being a comic book character; good call. I never really read any of the comics anyway, but I musta watched that movie 20 times. I need to introduce my 14 year old son to this movie. Too bad they didn't follow through with more sequels, or at least, sequels the quality of the original. How do you think a movie about Conan would do now? Do you get someone else to do play Conan, or do you wait for Arnie to quit this politics thing and play an aging Conan? Is Arnold too far gone to pull it off anyway?

Contemplate this, on the tree of woe.

The "Tales from the Crypt" I'm referring to was a British Movie from 1972:

Extremely faithful to the EC Comics Horror Comic tradition. Excellent conversion of the book to the film.

As to Conon. Have him play the aging king if you can. No body prothesis to make him have pec's he no longer has. I'd have someone play his son though. There's a series of books where King Conan's son is murdered by a wizard bent on revenge. I'd love to see Conan reborn again.

He was reborn in Conan the Destroyer. But thank to that movie, it also killed that franchise because the movie was so bad.

Well, I think Red Sonja had something to do with that as well. It was supposed to be a Conan tie-in, but it was done by a different studio, so they couldn't use the Conan name. Just as well, cuz Red Sonja was a disaster of a movie. Brigitte Neilsen was such a bad actor, she made Arnold look like Lawrence Olivier.

Both of these movies (Destroyer and Sonja) look like they made by people whose only experience in film making was watching old Hercules movies. Any movie that featured Grace Jones as a character actor deserves to die a painful death; she's maybe the most unattractive female that I've ever seen, if she's female. But the whole casting of this movie was stupid, and the budget was 'c' class.

I think Conan is ripe for a redux, if only there was a super buff actor like Arnie that was at least competant. You can have a CGI Hulk, but you can't CGI a Conan.
