"Heroes, there is no such thing."



I love super hero films. I love them for several reasons.

One reason is seeing the characters from the books brought to life, made flesh and blood. The other reason is that super hero films are the popcorn films. Super hero films are exactly what Hollywood wants to give people. If I am not making myself clear, here is what I mean.

With a super hero film Hollywood has to do the following; the film has to have a big budget, it has to appeal to a large number of people, you have to have a great looking cast, you have to fill every moment of screen time with action and drama. To make your super hero film work, you have to hire the best of the best, the best director, best writer(s), best pre and post production teams.

Super hero films need to be top shelf, you go any lower and your audience will burn you for it.

Need an example, just look at the trailer for Iron Man 3.

Top shelf baby.
