Am I alone? Do we really need all these?

I'm excited for these movies! I love superhero movies and the actors in the movies. They're reliably entertaining. But it's nice to see some variety. I saw Trespass with Nicole Kidman and Cam Gigandet. It was a nice break from the superhero movies and a good film in general. http://bitly.com/rnXyjf

Like
Mantiso
says, if the Avengers movie is a dud, that might be the beginning of the end for superhero movies. I also agree with

, mature comics and graphic novels turned into movies will keep things interesting, at least for a while.

I think why lot of people are tired of superhero movies are that they are blockbuster. Unlike romantic comedies or horror films which are not suppose to be huge movies of the year like superhero movies are. Superhero is sub-genre, so it is like a poster said above about a slasher to horror movies.
Here is another example if every summer there was two or three blockbuster disaster movies for the last ten years, I am sure everybody would be sick of it. Same can be said about superhero movies, there been way too many of them. -

It's because of the demographics of movie watchers. They'll make a ton of whatever people will watch, and comic books must have been at their peak at the time when people who are willing to spend money on movie tickets now were young. Or, more likely than just comics, marvel comics. I never read any comics but I did have almost all of the transformers and watched the cartoon. I also watched the xmen cartoon. Gi Joe also but that was an embarrassment of a movie. I mean, a Wayans brotherreally? If you think about it, there have been superman movies since like the 60s or something. Christopher Reeve was the first rehash superman.
I agree about all the Hulk revisions. That doesn't make any sense. There's a third guy playing Bannon in the Avengers movie too.
There have been way worse trends. -

The problem with the genre is that they're no longer
events
anymore. Batman 1989, Spider-Man, Superman 78, X-Men,
those
were all epic events. Now that we have over four in one summer, it ruins the coolness factor of it all. Superhero films used to be very big events unlike any film that year, now they're just a dime a dozen, with all the critics now beginning to compare each other (not even treating them like a real movie, just a "comic book movie")
That's what I love about Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. He makes them so epic and charged that they feel like a totally different league than the other superhero films released lately. Once upon a time, a simple Spider-Man or X-Men film used to be able to do that, but now they're just pale compared to the sheer denseness of Nolan's films. While other superhero films have become stale, Nolan's have risen above the staleness and truly are epic pieces of filmmaking. -

I think it's a matter of time before the superhero fad becomes passe. Unfortunately, I also believe that we'll see a few reboots of the most popular superheroes before the genre fades. Perhaps on the 4th reboot of Spiderman and the Hulk, audiences will begin to tire and demand something new.
Just a few years ago, everyone was lamenting the craze to put 70's television shows to film. Superheroes will be the same. There's only so many ways one can tell the same story.
Personally, I have never been a fan of superheroes. I remember liking Superman and Superman II in the 1970's, but mostly have avoided the genre. The few that I have been dragged to have been so over-the-top CGI that it killed any suspense or sense of danger to propel the usually weak plot. -

Honestly, I do too!
The car chases from French Connection and Bullitt, Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood kicking butt, real explosions, casts of thousands
There was a real sense of excitement in those films. A real sense of vulnerability. The action was performed by real people (even if it sometimes was a stunt man) with real skills.
Now we have computers that can make Scarlett Johansen out to be badder than Bruce Lee.
But, that's what the kids of today relate to their parents tell them that they're special and invulnerable, so they want heroes that they can relate to. -

I've just read this very same thing in the Guardian newspaper. I think it's quite simple, the numbers speak for themselves. At the momement box office records are being broken all the time, more people are going to the cinema, creating more jobs in the industry and elswhere, this in turn creates more revenue to put into other film projects that might not have seen the light of day!
Let's not forget , there are a lot of movies out there for all tastes. Not all of the multiplex cinemas are full of 'super hero'films !
So grab a large popcorn, sit back and enjoy ( while you can)!
For the time being they are here to stay , let's grab a large popcorn -
