Don't worry. It'll fizzle out at some point, when the next fad hits.
What is the next fad? I DON'T KNOOOOOOWWW!!!

Just watch. If TF is a big hit in future there will films like Thundercats, Masters of the Universe, Voltron, MASK, COPS and GI Joe.
I'm telling it will be an Inklings Wet Dream if you wheeeel.

This scenario is far far more terrifying than any Hollywood horror movie. I'd rather sit through 50 TCM remakes/prequels than witness the return of horrible 80s garbage in "cool" new form. It was cheesy in the 80s, people. It's kitsch now.

80's Cartoons should stay in the 80's as thety were a product of the time (i love em though)
But saying that Transformers has potential to both Rule & Suck (let's hope it's the former)

I'm going with Blade.
Although I'm pretty sure DC movies are cooler anyways.

I have really awful taste. I liked Howard the Duck, Nick Fury starring David Hasselhoff, and Man-Thing (it went direct to video, but was broadcast on Sci-Fi Channel like the same day). I like most of the more mainstream films, too (Spidey and the X-men, excluding X3), but I dig the lower-tier movies they've put out as well.
Also, I don't wanna go into religion, but if you really think about it, Howard the Duck in the movie has parallels to Jesus.

HAD to go with DareDevil.
Think about this, if you will. Even if you don't like the movie (there's plenty who don't and I'm clueless as to why)...but think, it has the three (3) most impactful creaters to ever work on DD ever are in the film. Stan Lee (co-creator), Frank Miller (Elektra and crap) and Kevin Smith (Guardian Devil). And they mention Bendis by name. So, from a nerd history, it means alot. Or at lease it does to me. Well, and the fact that it is in fact the best done of the Marvel comic films doesn't hurt things either.

I went for the obvious choice of Spidey and Spidey 2 though I did like Daredevil as well. And the bone of contention with D here, I didn't enjoy the Hulk AT ALL. Granted as has been mentioned it was an intelligent take and was interesting in a way, it just wasn't any fun to watch IMO

Man-Thing wasn't too bad. I also enjoyed Howard the Duck, Spiderman 2, Fantastic Four, and the old Captain America movie kind of has the so bad it's good thing going for it.
One thing I keep wondering, why don't they just make animated movies based on comics? Not crappy made for video ones, but real movies. If people will go to the theatre to see crap like Ice Age, why not well made animated Marvel films?

I am pulled between Blade, Spiderman, Daredevil, and The Hulk.........
Also, imo, sadly, the next movie fad has to be video game based movies....have you even SEEN the list of game based movies?! It.....it is outnumbering comic book flicks! Good thing most of these inevitable shitfests have yet to start production....

I would mark out for a Fallout movie, or preferably an X-Com game. Crusader: No Remorse would kick ass too.
