Marvel Comics Avengers #1
The new Marvel films are so much better than before, they are really raising the bar on modern day films.
I just wanted to ask what people thought of the latest Iron man and Hulk films?
The Incredible Hulk was soooooo much better than The Hulk, I think this is to do with great directors and actors realizing the plaudits that can come from something that maybe in the past was seen as a laughing stock of Holywood where comic book heros were a joke. (Take the 1st Captain America and Flash films for example). Also wanted some feedback on wheather or not there will be an avengers or shield movie with Iron man and Hulk in the mix (If you’ve seen the movies then you’ll know what I mean?????????). Cheers guys, lets hope the trend of these movies continues cause lets face it, these comic book heros let us all find something in ourselfs thats worth working on. Everyone needs a hero, just ask John Smeaton, hero of Glasgow airport!!!!!!!!!! 
:):)
I agree that the marvel movies have gotten a lot better. But You’re thinking too far back. They JUST RECENTLY got better. I’m talking JUST The Incredibly Hulk and Iron-Man. Although the Spiderman movies were insanely popular (and I admit that I love to watch them), they’re just mediocre as comics and movies. As well as the X-men movies, although I am excited to see a Wolverine spin-off.The Incredible Hulk was 500 times better than the Hulk and I think it was mostly due to Edward Norton and the direction. Especially the direction. And Iron-Man is the best Marvel superhero so I expected his movie to be spectacular. I could not imagine anyone pulling off Iron-man’s character flaws and humor as well as Robert Downey Jr did. He is Iron-Man.
As far as an avengers movie is concerned, there is with 100% certainty going to be one. That’s why Robert Downey Jr was in the end of The Hulk saying “I’m putting together a team” I can’t wait. They’re in the pre-planning period according to imdb, but it’s actually kicking-off which is good news.
And for comic book movies in general, I’m glad the public has started enjoying them. I love to share the superhero love.
(As a sidenote, Batman takes the cake)
