Ok, I know i have been spreading hate for the last two bloggs, but things are just making me so angry! SO ANGRY!!!!!
I am an avid comic book reader, I read them every day and I get them every week, it is what I do, they are my main source of entertainment (when there are no bums fighting in the street and calling each other mowawa). I have pleasure in seeing good comic adaptations to film, it happens once in every 35 comic movies that come out, and the main reason why is because comic books are a monthly reading material. They are not 2 hours of storytelling, some of them are 45 years of story telling.
But let's not go into that. the only Batman movie i respect is Batman begins, cause it has been taken serious, it is true to the character in many aspects ( even rahs al guhl in many aspects)but the thing about it is that it is an excellent translation to film. It is not the comic, it is a movie version of the comic book character, and it has its own world, but it feels so much like the stuff on paper, the way it looks, the way it feel, how the characters are played, you know, it is respectful.Not like Tim Burton's Batman, I do not care what anyone says, Jack Nicholson is NOT the joker, he is Jack Nicholson in make up acting as he would in a situation like that.
In any case. actually that is the case, Hollywood just wants to make a profit, and they will take this " writers" they trust, cause they have made them money some how, to make whatever the writers feel is " cool", and if there is someone out there that makes a script ( and honestly who knows if the script is good or bad?) hey take another person they trust to re-write it and make it crap.
But back to what I was saying at the beginning. There are those comics that are hard to capture in 2-3 hours time, because there are so many layers of the character that have been explored for decades that you can't simply fit it in the time given, and then there are the amazing miniseries! A yes something that takes place in 4,6,12 issues, that you can see be made into a movie, cause a lot of times is written sort of like a movie( then again there are those times where a guy says 13 lines while throwing one punch) and sometimes you can see trough what can get lost for the time and money, because no studio is going to give you the budget to make watchmen how it needs to be done, but you can try and make it the best you can, there are such miniseries like Mark Miller;s wanted.
Ah a comic book rotating around the ultraviolence, with enough character driven plot to make you want to act it out, so much evolves around the characters that you could care less how much of the technology is missing by the time is done. You don't need to adapt it to the big screen, unless that means cutting out unnecessary words and expanding the action to fit the exposition by word. So tell me, Why are the guys that wrote fast and the furious/ and fatf Tokyo drift " adapting" the comic to film? why is the scribe if "tomb raider" " tailoring " the fox character for Angelina Jolie? is she really the kind of actress that can't play a character? the character has to be " tailored for her"?
No I do not expect a page by page adaptation of the comic, I already mentioned that is not realistic for time and budget issues, but if you are going to get someone to "adapt the source material for a movie" can it be someone that did not wrote such piece of shit movies as the fast and te furious/Tokyo rift? I mean those movies are on the top 15 worse movies ever made! and if people love them is because they are really entertained by shit. If you are going to get an actress to play a part, can't you just get an actress tat can play a part?
This is just fucking ridiculous, I am sure I would not be mad if the people doing this project had a better resume that the fucking fast and the fucking furious, movies made for lil 12 year old girls, you could have gotten anyone else in the fucking planet and you get this piece of shit movie writers. I would have the guys that wrote the Hulk write this, and the Hulk is in the top 5 worse movies of all time!!!!
Sorry for the anger, but it is sad when you see something you like and that is good, be potentially at a shit-shake, and not get mad. it is just not the way it should be.
I hope this movie turns out 1/4 as good as the source material is, and you will have something to take home with you.
