I am thankful for the dark brooding comic movies as the goofy laugh-fests make me sick. Arnold in the first Conan, the first Crow with Brandon Lee, The Dark Knight... those are all light years better than the hammy earlier batman movies and all this F4, Captain America[/B], and especially the Hulk nonsense. The Hulk was one of my favorite comic strips as a kid and I cannot bear to watch one second of him on film. Just nauseating.
I wish they hadn't screwed up "Watchmen" because that could have been the best ever, Rorschach and his "people will look up at me and shout "save me"... and I'll whisper "no"... was some of the best script ever put to paper. Funny thing is, he didn't actually say that line in the book. He said "whores and politicians" instead of "people".
Winter Soldier was pretty dark, IMO.
