> I would still argue that no super hero film has ever gotten any origin story right. But, I would say that origin stories are unimportant, and will remain unimportant until movies get their stories straight.
This is my problem here, a movie split between origin story and main story is going to either drag or leave people unsatisfied. I would say you could possibly devote a movie to origin story, but I really don't feel like many superheroes have an interesting enough origin story to devote an entire film to. Personally, I think they're interesting, but they also tend to bog down the movie with unnecessary exposition (the first Spiderman) or they're just poorly executed (Fantastic Four). Now personally, I think Batman Begins did it fairly well, and I initially hated that they squandered the Ras Al Ghul storyline, but of course that was alleviated during Dark Knight Rises. Actually, Batman Begins is probably the only movie I can think of where a sequel improved my view of the original.
