COMIC BOOK MOVIES THAT
SMELL OF MONKEY POO!
Part 3

And now for the grand finale!

4.Spawn

Todd Mcfarlane's Spawn isn't all bad, there's some good special effects and the look of the movie is pretty true to the Comic Book. But then there's John Leguizamo as a demonic Clown, over-acting and really annoying, and Martin Sheen as Spawn's evil government supervisor, who seems to have forgotten how to act entirely. I actually thought the HBO cartoon version was much better--maybe they should have just done an animated movie altogether.

3.Daredevil

Ben Affleck stars as Matt Murdock, alias Daredevil, in this stinker. Taking much of the story from Frank Miller's Elektra saga, you'd think they wouldn't be able to screw things up. Sorry to say, they did. Ben Affleck is annoying as ever, stiff and boring, Jennifer Garner as Elektra is totally miscast. Collin Farrell as Bullseye, sent out to kill Daredevil, is so over the top he's actually kind of enjoyable to watch. Best scene, the fight between Matt Murdock and Elektra in the playground. Balancing on see-saws and flipping around like idiots while no one seems to notice. Crap!

2.Catwoman

DC Comics' Catwoman shows up on the big screen starring Halle Berry. Totally ignoring the comic book version and coming up with an all new origin, doesn't help matters much either. Halle Berry's Catwoman costume is hilarious, with her big cat forehead and ripped up bondage outfit. Sharon Stone is awful as a super-powered billionairess who turns to stone at the end of the movie. Her real-life face lift looking much the same as her rock hard face in the movie. Cat turd!

1.Batman & Robin

Ah, the biggest poo smelling movie rises to the top of the crap pile. The fourth in the Batman series and the second directed by Joel Schumacher stars George Clooney as Batman and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mister Freeze. Arnold spouts such classic one-liners as "Cool out" and "Put them on ice". Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy doing her Poison Ivy things. Alicia Silverstone as Alfred's niece who becomes Batgirl (what?!) later on in the movie. Even Bane shows up for the hell of it. Stupidest parts, the costume changing sequence with Batman, Robin and Batgirl, who all seem to have erect nipples on their costumes and when Batman whips out his Bat credit card to bid on something at an auction. Where does he get his bill sent for this credit card, the Batcave? Bat crap!
