I agree on The Watchmen. This was one of my favorite comic series.
I also think DC shoul option the Sandman series - it could be very cool - I think Winona Ryder would make a good "Death" - though she has played a ton of Goth Chick roles.
I would love to see Hitman turned into a movie, too.
I think X2 was great.
I loved Jean Grey's Phoenix transition in the end. I loved Nightcrawlers attack sequence - much better than I expected. I was a little disappointed that Wolverine's origin was so cut and dried so quickly. I read so many issues where just a sliver of his background was revealed, I would have liked that a little more drawn out. I wish Colosus should have gotten more screen time, too. I like that they did not pull any punches with Wolverine slashing through soldiers - killing them ( the lack of blood kept the whole thing palatable ). I also like the very well done Magneto sequences.
Overall, I was really impressed. The alternate histories bugged the dork in me, but I was pretty happy - overall.
I agree about Hulk looking like a puppet. I think they should have gotten ILM to do the SFX with that movie. They seem to be the only company that can do truly seamless transitions between real characters as puppets and CG stuff.
overall, though, I liked that Hulk was not the TV Hulk. I like that is was more of the McFarlane take ( though green ) on the charactor. I really like that Hulk was given a massive amount of power - not like the TV hulk that just busted through walls and ran in slow motion.
I will reserve judgement on Hulk till I see more of it.
