As you know I'm a huge comic book to movie fan and I'm really happy that the movies (such as the X-Men, Spider-Man franchises) are cashing in. So hopefully more people will appreciate them more instead of just passing them off as "garbage" or all CGI (which most of them are, but there is a story to the movies). Not that I'm implying that you refer to comic book movies as garbage, but others do. I'd also rather see all the comic book movies in the world instead of just remakes and endless sequels to movies that do not need sequels (Son of the Mask, Dumb & Dumberer). Need I go on?

What do you mean? It's pointless seeing it?

I rate most of these comic book movies in that class. IMO
Spider Man had no plot other then a guy who will save New York from the villain. Nothing about it was compelling and McGuire was
horrible in his acting. That's just an example.
Bryan Singer is another director I lost interest in. I'd like to see him write an original thriller or even drama rather then do comic book movies. Although
The Usual Suspects is overrated (still great) you can see he is able to write well. I think he's wasting his talent.
But of course I'm beating a dead horse here as I'm simply repeating myself. As for Hartnett and Wood, both are nothing special at all. Hartnett is horrible. Wood is mediocre and was one of the few things I didn't like about
Eternal Sunshine For the Spotless Mind. I haven't seen
Sin City yet but from what I've heard he does nothing but stand and make his presence known, no dialogue at all while wearing sunglasses. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but that doesn't sound like it would even need acting.
I'll see the film still, because upon closer looking it seems interesting, although a narration from more then one character is hardly innovative IMO. (not saying it has to be an innovative movie, but people have been saying that was original)
