Of course, there were a number of real stinkers directly before them: Constantine . . .
Really? What was wrong with Constantine? I thought people generally were pretty favorable toward that one. The small group of people I know who are into the comic really liked it a lot. Well, the small group that doesn't include you, of course

I'm not into comics at all, so I really don't know about any of these storylines our how well these movie translations have been. I thought Elektra wasn't as horrid as everyone made out, but it wasn't really that good either. I loved the two X-Men movies and the Spider Man movies, and I never saw Daredevil. I thought Hellboy was kind of fun, though I don't know anything about the comic strip. The first two Batman movies were a lot of fun as well, while 3 and 4 were awful (4 having the great distinction of being the first movie I saw with my wife- yes she stuck around after that so I knew I had a keeper!). People who are not Tim Burton should not try to do Tim Burton. Batman Begins was superb. I cannot think of a comic book movie that I enjoyed more than Batman Begins. Did anyone NOT like "Batman Begins?"
