We've seen a lot of superhero movies come out in the past ten years and they've been made all the more easy to make with the amount of special effects. To me, this always seems to be the problem with these kinds of movies. The special effects take such precedence that little attention is paid to the script and story line. Movies like Fantastic 4, The Green Lantern and Daredevil are forgettable because there is simply nothing interesting about them except that they are visually stimulating. The movie that started the supehero trend was Spiderman back in 2002. Tobey Maguire played a wonderful Spiderman, Willem Dafoe played an awesome Green Goblin and the movie earned the highest grossing opening weekend to that point, in history.
After a successful sequel, the series flopped after the third film was an absolute dud. Now though, a remake of the first film is coming out next July. The Amazing Spider man is one that I can't wait to see.
The special effects will of course be stunning and Alvin Sargent whose movies such as Unfaithful and Ordinary People was chosen to write the screenplay. This can only mean good things for a superhero trying to get back on the right track
