TERMINATOR

The first film to ever officially break the $100 million mark came from James Cameron, who had been laboring for years to produce a sequel to his action classic Terminator. With Arnold Schwarzenegger established as a mainstream star who guaranteed big box office, producers finally caved and gave Cameron the green light to make one of the best action films of all time. Arnold returns as the T-100 killing machine, now reprogrammed to protect John Connor from an even deadlier metallic menace. With early CGI special effects by Industrial Light & Magic as well as a number of incredibly complex and expensive vehicle stunts, the film went on to gross over $200 million and win four Academy Awards. But most importantly, it laid the foundation for the migration of visual effects from rear projection shots, miniatures and other old-school methods to the fully computer-generated techniques that now dominate the industry

WATER WORLD

Kevin Costner's first of two post-apocalyptic sci-fi flicks turned the actor from one of Hollywood's hottest properties to a box-office joke virtually overnight, but Water world is actually not a bad movie, despite its $175 million cost. One thing that you can say about it is that a good deal of the money that was spent is visible on the screen, with gorgeous widescreen vistas of uninterrupted ocean punctuated by amazing sets, some of which cost over $10 million to build. The film's aesthetic is unique, with nearly everything constructed from scrap and salvage, and visually it's a sumptuous feast for the eyes. But the production was mostly sunk by the script, which went through several writers and, in Costner's own words, "never had a third act." Director Kevin Reynolds tried to make up for that omission with explosions and effects, but the damage was done and the film was panned, although it did eventually make its money back.

The Hancock

Hancock is a 2008 American action comedy super hero film directed by Peter Berg and starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron. It tells the story of a vigilante superhero, John Hancock, played by Smith, from Los Angreles whose reckless actions routinely cost the city millions of dollars. Eventually one person he saves, Ray Embrey, played by Bateman, makes it his mission to change Hancock's public image for the better.
The story was originally written by Vincent Ngo in 1996. It languished in development hell for years and had various directors attached, including Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Jonathan Mostow, and Gabriele Muccino before going into production in 2007. Hancock was filmed in Los Angeles with a production budget of $150 million.
The film was widely released on July 2, 2008 in the United States and the United Kingdom by Columbia Pictures. Hancock received mixed reviews from film critics. To date, Hancock has grossed $624,386,746 in theaters worldwide

The Incredible Hulk

Robert Bruce was born in Dayton, Ohio, to Dr. Brian and Rebecca Banner. As a child Bruce was abused by his alcoholic father, who killed his wife when she and Bruce tried to escape from one of his drunken rages. Later, Bruce was raised by his aunt Susan Banner while his father was institutionalized. Burying his emotions throughout his childhood, Banner had developed over time a deeply repressive personality.

After graduating from Science High School, Bruce studied nuclear physics in Navapo, New Mexico, at Desert State University as the star student of Professor Herbert Josiah Weller. He also studied for a time at Pennsylvania State University, where he met Walter Langkowski (later Sasquatch). He obtained his doctorate in nuclear physics at the California Institute of Technology, alongside Phillip Sterns (later Madman).


At first, Banner changed into a gray-skinned yet intelligent behemoth at sunset (dubbed "the Hulk" by a spectator) and reverted to human form at dawn. For a short time, Bruce could control in his secret desert laboratory, maintaining rudimentary intelligence in the Hulk's alter ego. Even so, the Hulk became a green-skinned monster possessing little of Banner's memory or intelligence and easily enraged. Hence, the Hulk became a menace continually hunted by military forces commanded by the implacable Thunderbolt Ross. The Hulk was joined by Rick Jones, who felt responsible for Banner's condition. After some time, however, Jones left the Hulk
A genius in nuclear physics, Robert Bruce Banner went to work at the United States Defense Department nuclear research facility at Desert Base, New Mexico. There Banner met General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross, the Air Force officer in command of the base, and Ross' daughter Betty Banner and Betty Ross eventually fell in love. Banner designed and oversaw the construction of the "gamma bomb" or "G-bomb," a nuclear weapon that had a high gamma radiation output

Trailer of hellboy

The first use of the Hellboy name was included in a drawing of a demon character in a black and white illustration in which wore a belt bearing the name "Hellboy". This image appeared in a program for the Great Salt Lake Comic-Con in 1991, therefore making the program the first publicly published mention of the Hellboy name. A prototype incarnation of Hellboy appeared on the cover of Dime Press #4 (1993), an obscure Italian fanzine, with "Hellboy" written at the bottom of the cover, and which started to look like the later character that would become the final creation.
Before Hellboy was published independently at Dark Horse Comics, the concept was initially pitched to a board of directors for Dc comics who loved it but didn't like the idea of it involving "hell".
The early stories were conceived and drawn by Mignola with a script written John Byrne and some later stories have been crafted by creators other than Mignola, including Christopher Golden, Guy Davis, Ryan Sook, and Duncan Fegredo. The increasing commitments from the Hellboy franchise meant that the 2008 one-shot In the Chapel of Moloch was the first Hellboy comic Mignola had provided the script and art for since The Island in 2005.
he film starred Ron Perlman as Hellboy (the favorite of both del Toro and Mignola for the role), Selma Blair as Liz Sherman, Rupert Evans as FBI Special Agent John Myers (a character created for the film), John Hurt as Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, Doug Jones as Abe Sapien (voiced by an uncredited David Hyde Pierce), Karel Roden as Grigori Rasputin, and Jeffrey Tambor as FBI Senior Special Agent Tom Manning. The film received generally positive reviews, and a fair performance at the box office. However, the film debuted in theaters while The Passion of the Christ was still playing, and, according to del Toro's DVD commentary, some theaters would re-title the film on their signs, or outright refuse to play it to avoid running a "devil" movie against Passion.

Trailer of Batman

In 1938 DC Comics was profiting excitedly from its new phenomenon: Superman. DC publisher Vin Sullivan would tell anyone and everyone that he wanted to have another superhero for the Detective Comics series. Bob Kane was one of those who heard Sullivan’s talk. Late one night in 1939, Kane set to work and by morning he had created one of the most popular characters in American history: Batman.


In Detective Comics 33 (November 1939) his origin was fully fleshed out. The story of a boy who saw his parents murdered and then set out to ‘avenge’ them took hold of comic book readers and Batman’s popularity soared higher. In spring of 1940 he became the star of a second comic title: Batman. That spring also added an important piece of the Batman legend: Detective Comics 38 gave us the first appearance of Robin. Robin was an immediate boost to the title, lightening up the series while giving it added weight among the younger readers.
One of the most popular and important pieces of the Batman myth are the villains. Batman may have more recognizable villains than any other superhero. That first issue of Batman presented the first appearances of two of the most popular: The Joker and The Cat (who over time would become “Cat woman”). In 1941 a ‘cartooney’ version of the Penguin appeared and in 1942 Two-Face (inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) stole onto the scene.
As the 1940’s continued, Batman assisted the war effort – selling war bonds and even (in the comic books at least) visiting the US President in Washington DC. From the 1940’s and on into the 1950’sBatman became more of an amiable character, who was gradually moving out of the shadows. This was to become even more pronounced in 1954 with the publication of The Seduction of the Innocent, a book that denounced comic books and lambaste

As the 1950’s and 60’s persisted Batman became even more detached from his initial origins and the stories became more and more implausible (even by comic standards) and sales of Batman were in decline. It would appear that the 1960’s might be the one entity to defeat Batman. Consequently Batman effectively became a guest star in his own publication with the introduction of Bat-Girl, Bat-Hound and even the bizarre Scrappy-Do-segue, Bat-Mite Them for corrupting the minds and hearts of American children.

Now that The Dark Knight has crossed the magic $500 million barrier at the US box office and grossed over $900 million worldwide, Batman is once again a true cultural phenomenon. It is perhaps now relevant and interesting to look at the history of the character to see how the he has had such an enduring appeal over the last 70 years.
