Each to their own. I can completely understand why you'd prefer it - it's a much better fit for Batman after all - but I just love the camp comedy of the Adam West series.

Yeah, I'd agree on the Superman side of things. I think Superman is kind of a lame character to begin with, but the Superman from 1978 is pretty funny. As far as the modern day movies though, I couldn't care less.

I enjoy both worlds of batman. Both dark and campy are extremely fun.

I have a pretty basic if cynical attitude to all super hero films: same shit, different costume.
Tic Tac, sir?

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: Original vs. Remake.

Personally I quite like both versions of this movie, they both had their good moments. To put it simply, I prefer the original over the remake because for reasons I cannot explain, the remake seems to lack the charm the original had. Which version do you all prefer?

The remake. I felt it's closer to the books, although I couldn't stand that the almost entirely British cast only ever spoke in American English. It shouldn't bother me but it did. Especially hearing the word "Candy" over and over.

No-one in the UK says "Candy" in normal conversation. No-one.

Exactly. Thank you for proving my point. It's like when people say "Soccer" as well. There are two scenarios when "Soccer" is acceptable in British English: When clarifying what you're reffering to when speaking to a non British English speaker - for example, asking an American "What's your favourite football (Soccer) team?" - or, to a lesser extent, when using it as alliteration - for example, Sky Sport's "Soccer Saturday" - but even that second one annoys me.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, American English is fine, but not when used by Brits. It irks me so very much.
