Are the two movies going to physically fight? I'd pay for that. Actually, I'd rather the two studios associated with the movies had an all out brawl. That'd be more entertaining than the movies they're spending millions on.even if Superman is mediocre it will trounce [X3].

HawaiianStallion said:So we've got a confused, crappy plot, some horrible plot twists, poorly done characters, and then there was the fact that the Fox studio execs and producers of the flick (Avi Arad as well), went on to publicly denounce fans, online reviewers and their sites, and anyone else who didnt like their decision to pretty much make X3 to compete with the new Superman flick just to try and Spite Singer. Hell I believe Arad went on a rant at one of the comic cons about how he supports Fox and what not and that everyone else doesnt matter despite the fact we pay to see the movie.
All in all, if this movie follows the original script even halfways, the movie is going to be horrible and even if Superman is mediocre it will trounce it.
I don't think anyone's arguing about it not being perfect, but rather, where studios draw the line, and start making their own shit up.dwarfkicker said:Comic based movies should never be viewed as going hand in hand with their source material.
With the exception of Ultimate and 2099, all the above comics take place in the same universe, and frequently even have co-mingling story arcs.The movies (back on the subject of comics) should just be viewed as an alternate series/story/universe/whatever. Look at all the Spiderman comics:
-Amazing Spiderman
-Spectacular Spiderman
-Web of Spiderman
-Ultimate Spiderman
-Spiderman 2099
I agree.Back to Spiderman, look at the movies. He produces his own web OF LIES AND DECEIT!!!!!!!

Sin f$*@ing City baby! .
Sorry, I looooooooved sin city and imo it's the epitome so far of how to make a movie based on a comic. Granted they didn't get it ALL in there, but as far as adaptations go, they stuck to the comic hand and hand, frame by freaking frame.
"Griffith No More!" said:There's actually a lot of little differences between the Sin City movie and the original comics, not just edits, but lots of added shots, nuiances, and changes here and there. So, for better or worse, it's not truly panel by panel (this outrages me BTW, that and the fact that Marv isn't eight feet tall like in the books. True to the comics MY ASS!).
"Griffith No More!" said:BTW, where did you read the X3 script? I hope you stole it off the set or something, because we all know how Internet scripts are the ultimate source of truth in the Universe. =)
"Griffith No More!" said:And I'm restating my stance that if you're already down on X3 for this stuff, you should also already hate the first two movies anyway.
I think you'd probably be better off re-watching the X-Men animated series if this is the scale you're judging from.HawaiianStallion said:but come on, they couldnt do a five minute danger room sequence in either movie... meh.
HawaiianStallion said:I know that but what I don't think you're clearly understanding here is not just about them changing many of the fundamental elements of the comic, but also the fact they're making a horrid movie in general with poor writing all around. I'd also like to note if they're going to change so much in the movie from the comics then why bother doing a movie based on the comics in the first place, its like they're just cashing in on the name now. I can understand small stuff, and some stuff that is just unreasonable in movies like doing the whole Secret Wars in Spiderman to get Venom but this is just stupid now.

Threw your mom out there. Just puttin' that on the table.dwarfkicker said:The Star Wars ep 3 script was practically dead on. Just throwing that one out there.
Aazealh said:Well the Sentinels and Apocalypse aren't mutants either so...
Oltobaz said:Apocalypse is actually a mutant, supposed to be the first one, or at least among the oldest ones...
Oltobaz said:Anyways, I hope everything will turn out well, as I didn't enjoy X2 all that much...
Aazealh said:Yeah, I tend to forget that... One of the oldest mutants, enhanced at 90% by alien technology. I just never liked the idea of him being a mutant, I don't think it really fits his character. Oh well.
