Comic Movie Retrospective

Comic Movie Retrospective

Now that Captain America has come out, there won’t be another major comic book movie until May when Avengers comes out. Therefore I decided I would take the opportunity to look back at the four major comic movies that were released this year, and describe what my thoughts were on each and give them all a ranking compared to each other.  Just to clarify, I’m only looking at the super hero comic movies, and not the other comic related...
