By Graeme McMillan Sure, movies like Iron Man and The Dark Knight have proven that superheroes can work on the big screen, but sometimes only comics can offer longjohned epics so large-scale that they'd break Hollywood in half through special effects budget alone.

By BrentJS Sprecher Actress Malin Akerman's career has been on an upward trajectory since her breakout role on the short-lived Lisa Kudrow series The Comeback.

By Josh Wigler Additionally, the comic book market is definitely booming on the big screen, but that tends to be specific to the superhero genre.

By Elisabeth Rappe I have been intrigued by Defendor since it went into development.

By Richard So how is this biggest-movie-ever Watchmen superhero flick? Well, not so good if many critics are to be believed. Should have been kept in holy reverence as a comic book (or graphic novel or whatever). Owen Gleiberman at Entertainment Weekly, in a B- review, found the material a bit dated:

But not just because of how it played with superhero character conventions, because it also deconstructed the superhero comic’s narrative style. True Watchm...
