Not if it's done right...

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>There's more to Superman than most people think. They need to show the fact that while he's super-strong, fast, etc, he still has to deal with the fact that he can't be everywhere at once and he can't police the entire world and every person who wants to do bad things.

I'm reading the latest run of Superman and it's cool because Superman is trying to "do the right thing" and he finds that it's not always so clear cut. If they did it like, I think it'd be a good movie.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Hulk was terrible. I stand by that. well, it was watchable but it's still far from being a good movie. Hellbopy was a good comic movie because it kept the feel of the comic.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>yeah it really took him dying to make him a good character. for the most part sice his official return he has been awesome. (After he got back to his real self...the energy being was just kinda.....meh</div>
