One of the greatest revelations of all about the new big budget comic book/super hero event movie of the summer, Iron Man, that officially kicks off the summer blockbuster movie season it's in one of the opening logos right before the start of the film. The Marvel logo adds the significant word STUDIOS under the legendary brand name that revolutionized comics and super heroes as we know it 45 years ago. What does this mean? It means in no uncertain terms that now Marvel is going into the movie business for itself. Iron Man marks the first feature to be produced solely by Marvel itself without the influence or interference of any other company. You might have heard of them: 20th Century Fox (X-men; Fantastic Four; Daredevil; and Elektra), Sony (Spider-man; Ghost Rider), and Lionsgate (The Punisher).

What have these movies, many of them multiple film franchises, had in common? Besides their respective studios licensing the famous characters out from Marvel Comics, they've lacked any kind of cohesion or connection to the other (with possibly the odd exception here and there in a couple of the Fox movies). Now that Marvel is calling the shots, starting with Iron Man, and once again later this summer with The Incredible Hulk, they can finally forego the downright ridiculous notion that these characters cannot exist in the same time, universe, or planet. Now we are finally going to see an actual Marvel Universe itself at the movies.This is clear throughout the fantastic Iron Man movie, the idea that something greater is at work. Marvel Studios is not just building an Iron Man movie franchise, they are literally re-building the Marvel Movie-verse from the ground up.
The lines are being drawn, and the groundwork lain. Once you see it, you will understand. The seeds are being planted and in the very near future they will hopefully bear some MIGHTY fruit.

My favourite is what this person is describing... A stand alone Marvel universe

I like the new batman flicks, and the spider man ones, but ironman was a let down!

The BLADE trilogy is my favourite, pretty sure they were MARVEL.

Thor would be a great movie to make after the success of Beowulf, they could have TechnoViking play the part !

I liked the Iron Man movie, being a fan of the Iron Man comic since about the age of 10, I thought it did a good job to follow the theme of the comics I read all those years ago.

I couldnt say the same about punisher thats for sure, entertaining as it was, it didnt stay true to the comic IMO.

Even though he isn't a Marvel super hero, I would love to see a movie based on 2000AD's Rogue Trooper.

comic books that have been turned into films just dont work for me.

Superman is DC comics.

Batman is DC also.

That leaves Spiderman and Ironman of the ones I've seen. Of those I have liked Ironman best.

Have there been any other Marvel Comic book movies ?

You know know it helps to read through all of the posts and you would have found your answer:
