I have to agree with the original suggestion of the refit Enterprise as she appeared in her debut film... but the Discovery is definitely a very close second place!

Yeah, this article really hit it right on with its demonstrative suggestion. The refit version of the original Enterprise is my absolute favorite fictional space craft, and the camera never loved her more then in her debut appearance.

Why don't we just go clear this all up and ask the man himself? After all, he has been resurrected and is working at a toy store:

Well, after having tried it out, my joke seems rather fitting. "Doctor Carl" does seem about as useful as Dr. Bot. (Well, except that Doctor Carl didn't offer me valium.)

A chat therapy session? So it's Dr. Bot from Space Station 76?

Oh man, I love a good dolly zoom! I'd forgotten this one in Jaws, I should watch that film again. And maybe 2010... That one has nothing to do with dolly zooms, I just like Roy Scheider in it!

It did. But I suppose it was better then the few times an actor slipped in something to the effect of, "Jesus!" or, "Christ!" Which of the Lords of Kobol was he, again?

Well, I suppose it isn't as if I was looking forward to this film anyway, but the more I hear about it, the more I am convinced that after it comes out, the previous two films will be reevaluated and seen as classics.

What does the Warriors one even have to do with the film? Okay, Nausicaä (or, in this version, Zandra) and her glider are on it... kind of in the background... but other then that? Opposite her is... some dude on a pegasus? What...? And the foreground looks more like something out of Dune, rather then anything out of…

I shall admit I loved it as a kid, too. That being said, if I only knew then what I know now... :D

Well, I suppose you and I shall just have to disagree to have different definitions of a "comic book movie." Would be nice if the original article had made its writer's definition a bit more clear...

I may rag on Warriors of the Wind (and indeed, did so in my earlier post) but I have to admit, despite Miyazaki's plea to forget it exists, I do have a slight soft spot for it in my heart. Not that I knew the significance of it at the time, but it was my first exposure to Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli, and one of my first…

I suppose if they had gone with that theme in '87, we'd all be used to it and not think twice about it, But I am not unhappy that they went with Goldsmith's theme, instead. That being said, I do like it in the small doses McCarthy sprinkled throughout the episodes themselves.

Not quite sure if this would count... I suppose, technically, the comic premiered before the cartoon, but both were created to advertise the toyline.

Theatrical Cut or Richard Donnor cut? Frankly both, while good, have flaws. If Donnor had been allowed to complete it in the first place, on the other hand... Ah, what could have been...

This movie is definitely one of the greatest "super hero origin stories" ever filmed, but I don't think one could consider it a "comic book movie" since it is an original story, and not a story adapted from a comic book.

As an anime fan, especially one who is typically more of a fan of this era of anime rather than more modern productions, it almost feels blasphemous of me to say this... but I never much cared for Akira.

Oh, good lord Warriors of the Wind is not a great comic book movie.

It was a film first. The novel came later, and I believe the comic was much later still. So, while I dearly love the film, I wouldn't at all consider it a "comic book movie."

But Dirk Benedict said it with such conviction, he made it work!
