This is why I don't agree with all these people that keep saying the industry is dying. Each year we see more and more quality movies from comic books. The spotlight has been turned on the industry and the films are hitting it out of the park. And with all the attention on Comic Cons, I only see good things coming.

I'm thinking the same thing. And if these movies succeed, even better for the hobby.

All is already out of the question as Bullet to the Head bombed. I'm hopeful that Man of Steel won't suck.

They can't all be perfect. But the overwhelming majority of comic book related films and TV have been received very well.

Then there are some that feel like they are comic book influenced, and could encourage more from their genre (Initial release: July 11, 2013).

 

 

I have high hopes for this one.

I have a feeling this will be the "Battleship" of 2013.
I hope not.

 

Del Toro directed Pacific Rim.

That's just a strong industry for the properties in comics, not for comics themselves, but actual comic sales are up something like 12% so that's good too.

Yeah, I think we are safe from the soap opera of Battleship. Though it was pretty cool to see Mighty Mo come out fighting against the aliens.

I hadn't heard of this one.

 

The Seventh Son (Release Date: October 18, 2013)

 

Cast: Julianne Moore, Ben Barnes, Jeff Bridges, Kit Harington, Olivia Williams, Djimon Hounsou

 

Supernatural tales may be all the rage in Hollywood these days but it would be a mistake to dismiss The Seventh Son as just another teen fantasy story. A sordid story of witches and ghouls, starring Barnes and Bridges as a pair of warriors out to hunt creatures of the night, the film should provide plenty of exciting visuals and captivating character drama - especially with villainous performances from Julianne Moore and Djimon Hounsou. Bonus points for an appearance by Game of Thrones alumni Kit Harington!
