James Gunn Says Superhero Movies Are Mostly Boring Right Now, What Do You Think?
I remember when major movie studios were scared to make superhero movies. Then Marvel started making them and gave the other studios the confidence to start making their own. Now there are all kinds of superhero movies being made! Everyone is trying to launch their own superhero franchise!
During a recent interview with SFX Magazine, Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn, was asked about the state of superhero films and he thinks that most of them are boring right now.
"They're mostly boring to me right now! [Laughs]. I loved them at the beginning and there are still people trying to do different things [with them], so it's not a 100% rule, but a lot of them are boring.”
I’d be curious to see what his list of boring superhero movies is and if any of those on his list are Marvel or DC movies. But, in general, I think a lot of people would agree with him. There are so many superhero films that have been made in recent years, and I think, for the most part, I’ve been enjoying them, but there are certainly a few stinkers that have been made. I guess it’s a good thing Gunn is out there keeping things interesting in the genre.
What do you all think about the state of superhero movies? Are they mostly boring for you or are you still enjoying them?
