I had a quick flick through the Apple Quicktime site to see if there was any cool trailers for upcoming films over the summer. Unfortunately it seems that yet again Hollywood seems to be churning out film adaptations of comic-book superheroes?! I understand that by doing so they tap into an already established fan base and so potentially stand to make more money - BUT (with a couple of exceptions) they are generally ALWAYS rubbish?!

Whether it’s sequels (Hellboy 2), film versions of minor superheroes (Ironman), or remakes of previous superhero films (Hulk) it always seems to guarantee an interesting trailer and a boring film? It seems particularly ridiculous that the Incredible Hulk has already had a bad remake a few years back and yet the 2008 CGI-Hulk seems to look just as unbelievable as the 2003 CGI-Hulk?

UPDATE: This spoof news report by the Onion sums up my feelings nicely I think!
