The thing is though many of the good ones sometimes get drowned out by the cash-grab movies with huge budgets for advertising towards people who like shiny things more than actual sustenance in it.
Comicbook wise I dont mind the Marvel movies that tie into the eventual Infinity War movies. That should be pretty epic having the Avengers, GuardiansGalaxy (one of my all-time favorite comic movies Marvel wise), Spidey, and others taking on Thanos and his minions. At least there is an end game with those movies already in place. That said I didnt care for many of the sequels of Ironman, Thor, & Capt.
The upcoming DC comic movies like Suicide Squad should be pretty sweet too. Oh cant wait to see Deadpoool (Marvel), highest grossing rated R movie opening weekend of all time which shocked everyone in Hollywood apparently. So there is hope there for future like rated R comic movies.
But there will always be reboots or sequels of old successes as there has always been over the decades. There were movies in the 1950s that were reboots of the silent era, and then rebooted again for our generation. King Kong was rebooted in the 1970s from the 1920s version, then rebooted again last decade or so is one example. And I dont mind reboots IF it is actually good, like Batman Begins or Casino Royale. The latest Fantastic 4 was a reboot that was pure crap being the best example of what they shouldnt do.
Captain America Winter Soldier wasn't just a good comic book movie, it was a great movie that happened to have comic book characters in it.
