EVERYTHING BUT IMAGINARY #312: MOVIE RIDE MAINTENANCE (GMR8) |

Welcome once again, ladies and gentlemen, to The Great Movie Ride, the periodic sub-section of Everything But Imaginary in which I try in vain to watch and review every comic book movie ever made! It’s been quite some time – nearly six months – since I last visited this list, and although I often have themes to these columns, this time out I’m gonna go a bit more free-form. I’m going to go ahead and give you my thoughts on all the comic book-based movies I’ve seen this year, in the order I watched them. Movie theaters, television, DVD, Hulu.com, first time I saw it, fifteenth time I saw it – doesn’t matter when or where I watched the movie. Let’s just do some general ride maintenance, shall we?
 Batman Vs. Dracula (2005): This DVD movie was released in 2005 as a spinoff of the show The Batman. I’ve got to be honest, I was never a fan of the show. I tried watching some first-season episodes and I thought they were terrible. I tried watching some episodes in the last season, as they began bringing in more and more Justice League members, and I thought it was getting better. Still, though, I wasn’t in love with it. In this film, the Joker and the Penguin bust their way out of Arkham Asylum to cause havoc just as Gotham gets assaulted by the original bad boy of the night, Dracula himself. I just couldn’t get into this movie. As a concept “Batman Vs. Dracula” seems like a no-brainer. And I’m sure in the 70 years of the character’s existence (Batman’s, not Dracula’s) someone has probably done it and done it well. But this movie never grabbed my interest, any more than the TV show did. Is it terrible? No. It just wasn’t interesting to me.
