Comic bookish? So it's good you mean?
Have you read anything by Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Warren Ellis, or Grant Morrison?
I've said it before and I will say it again:
Just because something is illustrated doesn't mean it can't be serious, important literature. Sorry, but this is a pet issue with me, and usually comments like that are assumptive as people who make the comments haven't actually checked out any of the great comic stories (Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Ronin, Kingdom Come) and really have no referent for the argument. I'm not saying this is the case here (you may have read these and just not liked them), but it usually is the case.
Give these sagas a chance! I think you will have a different view on Comics after you do
As for hyped films that have dropped the ball big time for me...
The Hulk, definitely, the Hulk.
Star Wars Episode 1 (probably the biggest disappointment for me ever in film)
Cheers
