    hi

    i just saw the trailer of the fantastic four movie and it looks promising

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantastic_four/

    that made me think which comic book is next on the line, after all big ones are already made. i liked most of them even Hulk was a big disapointment the rest was good. would like to see some of the more rare ones like silvr surfer, green lantern and gen 13, or even lobo or evil ernie. there ar so many good comics out there which would make a good movie.
    what do you think?

    If the comic books have a following and the trend continues, then they will probably be made into a movie at some point.

    I think Lobo has been in talks for quite a while now.

    Sin City looks to be amazing.

    Constantine could be pretty good too (as long as it isn't too *******ised with Americanisms - no offense to anyone intended).

    I know for a fact Ghost Rider and Iron Man are in the works... I can't see how the former will work to be honest.

    The F4 movie looks like it could be good, the trailer certainly looks quite epic and sci-fi-y which is the right sort of atmosphere for the F4... it would have been a little disappointing if it was underplayed like Spider Man and the X-Men movies.

    A Watchmen movie could be awesome if they get a good director and a non-A list cast together.

    Batman Begins should be good, but I fear it's going to be ****.
