Bill&#8217;s Rules of Bad Comic Book\u00a0Films #1: The more comic book characters you put in the film, the less likely it will be good (see: <strong>Batman and Robin<\/strong>, <strong>Batman Forever<\/strong>, and <strong>Spider-Man 3<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>But before that, it all looked good. Most of the same creative personnel were returning. It was written by Justin Theroux, who wrote the better than average <strong>Tropic Thunder<\/strong>. It should have been dead solid perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s just a case of the first film raising expectations too high for all those critics. But Bill&#8217;s Rules usually don&#8217;t lie.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;ll find out on Tuesday. I wanted to go see it tonight, but work reared its nasty head.
