haha thanks :)

On a side note seeing as how spiderman was the first good comic book , what do you guys think is going to be the first good video game movie?

My bet is on if they can get it into production and Bungie and MS stay firm and don't sell out. I think the uncharted movie has a good chance too but finding the right actor for Nathan Drake is going to be important.

I'm worried about the GoW movie though :/

Spiderman was not the first good comic book movie-- both Superman and Batman were good movies and released years ahead of them. Spiderman just kicked off the comic book movie craze that we have seen in the past few years (which appears to be slowing as of late, with one or two obvious exceptions).

 

However, I think Halo can be a decent Sci-fi flick, but I don't think it will do anything new or different (except be the first good movie based on a video game). All other projects that I have heard about do not inspire confidence in me.

You thought the early Superman and Batman movies were good? The superman movies were horrible and the batman movies were ok but they were no where near the level of the original spiderman movie. That was the first comic movie that was able to appeal to a wide audience no matter their background because it told a great story with believable actors and great action. You can't even compare the early comic book movies to Spiderman.
