They should be made by true fans... The people who make half the comic movies probably never opened a comic in their lives...

Acting has nothing to do with it... Actors don't write the script... Its the Script writers that need to be fans mostly...

Well, the main thing is, is that the people who do take a story line and destory it by Hollywoodnising it, don't really destroy the true work. You always have the original that you can go back to. Like Jumper, Harry Potter, Dragon Ball Z, Transformers, X-Men, etc., those stories are never destoryed or corrupted (unless the author screws it up themselves or sells out). It will always be there, as we remember it to truely be.I can't stand movies that are way too out of the original plot, example: Harry Potter and X-men. My main beef with X-Men was Rouge. In the storyline, she just wasn't the southern bell Rouge who had absorbed Ms. Marvels powers like I remembered in the older comics. |

I'll be peeking in every once in a while. I just now managed to finagle it around so I could use a computer for a little while and get online. I'm glad to see that someone missed me though! ;p |

Ah, but sometimes the write is NOT the author... he/she just sells the rights...

I hate watching a movie that is different to the book too but, in some cases i can see why they do it.Take the latest Harry Potter movie for instance, yes they burnt down the burrow which didn't occur in the book, but to get all the imformation thats in the book in to a film, exactly how it was originaly written, is almost impossible, the movie would be 5 hours long. So they either create a scene or change the story line a little to get the same message across... Refering back to the Harry Potter movie, in the book it was all about people fear of Voldemorts return, and about the death eaters causing terror amoung the the magical community.. If you cant get it all into a movie, but want to creat the same fear in the audience as the book does for its readers, it's a better idea to create a scene like the burning of the burrow to ultimatly get the same effect, rather than have a 5 hour movie and lose peoples attention.. It irrates the true fans yes, but the general audience wouldn't know the difference. |

fear in the audience ... I wasn't aware it caused me fear :P...have you guys seen the 'Watchmen'? THAT was 95% true to the graphic novel... Nothing MAJOR was taken out... only slight changes were made to make it applicable for a movie... that was ok... cos the important aspects of the novel were still there... If they make a book/comic/game to movie... they have to get ALL the important aspects of it, all the important events in it... WHICH THEY DON'T USUALLY... and... they can remove scenes which make little difference... or shorten the conversation before they start changing... Watchmen was three hours long and LotR of four... so time should not be an issue... Oh and... welcome back... |

How come I don't such warm welcomes when I make my return debute?Also I don't really agree with this page because isn't it really just one's opinion? A person may find a film that he conceives as crap: e.g Twilight; while others may enjoy it. Or vice versa naturally. |

I'm going to assume the anon is somebody that we know - I happen to agree with the page.I did, however, just watch an awful, awful movie, 'Thor - The hammer of the gods'. Which pretty much hit all the major movie mistakes (bad acting, bad plot, change in enemy strength towards the end, unbelievable reasoning) except having technology appear where it shouldn't have (Though I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Norsemen were wearing a watch). And the werewolves in it, yes werewolves, were fair enough half th time but other times people just ran passed the shot with paper mache wolf heads... And I swear it skipped a bit in the middle!!! Did I mention the movie was only made this year? |
