I'm a little disappointed that not more people have contributed to this thread. I think it's one of the better ones to be started in the last month.
I think Empire is the one I've heard the most support for as being superior to it's predecessor. I didn't hear near as many people spouting the Alien/Aliens debate before the Scream films. Now, I've talked to my younger sisters friends who say they're into horror. They spout this shit, and I look at them and wonder, 'Have you even seen Alien when it wasn't on network television?'
Moving on. I agree urge about comic book flicks. Spiderman was handled superbly. The first Xmen gave me what I thought I wanted: seeing all my favorite characters of 20-some odd years of reading comics on the big screen. Larger than life. X-2 gave me what I really wanted; seeing them do what I've seen them doing in 2-d for the last 20-some odd years. I understand that people who have never read an X-Men comic in their lives need to know what's going on. To those of us who know the whole mythos by heart; I think most of us want to get to where the action is.
