Hollywood as we all know it is considered to be the number one industry in making action movies with a lot of thrills. Even if it is a disaster movie like 2012 or a sci fi movie like avatar or just plain old school action like die hard Hollywood has always impressed its fans in this genre.
Comic book movies are also very closely related to this category which gives such a joy to its fans that movies of this category are being made more and more. Superheroes have always impressed us one way or another as when we see the fancy gadgets and customized car of "Batman" or super powers like laser beam and levitation of "Superman" we also want to have these kind of powers. This is because in these movies they show the super heroes as something special and man always like a positive change for itself and its surroundings which super heroes create.
There are not just superhero comic book movies but movies are also being made of other adoption of comic books like "Sin City" which shows us a crime life of Basin City and what's amazing about that movie is that its all made in black and white so the fans love that movie as it seems just like the real comic book, another is "300" which tells us a story of 300 Spartans and their fight with the Persians, which also have the same color combination as of the comics.
Comic book movies have really earned itself as being an entirely different genre from all other movies due to these reasons. Some other recently came movies like "Kick Ass" and "The Losers" are also a new development in comic books with not super heroes with super powers but simple people beating up bad guys which is also a new and great touch in comic book movies. I hope that Hollywood will always entertain us in this genre as it has been doing in the past.
