I can usually tell if a movie adaption of a comic is going to suck or not. The first initation of a crappy movie adaption is whether or not, the character is in costume. I had a really good feeling about Spiderman when I saw that he was going to be in classic red and blue suit. For some reason only Superman and Spiderrman are the only characters that get to wear their costumes. Though Captain America and FF were in their classic uniforms in their orignal cluster **** movie adaptions.
Yu see if the directors and screenwriters will stick to the established story lines and continuty. For example, the main reason why the Spidey films worked so well is that they didn't stray to far from the characters orgins. So when Spidey had organic webbing as opposed to the mechanical web shooters, you looked past it because the movie was so good. I still don't like the end sequence with Spidey, the Green Goblin, and Mary Jane on the 59th St. Bridge. We all know what the inspiration for that scene was. Personally instead of having Kristen Dunst dye her red, it would have been better to cast her as Gwen Stacy and at the end of the first movie have the Green Goblin push her off of the Brooklyn Bridge. Then when Spidey goes to save her, have the webbing snap her neck from the "bungy code effect," that would've been sick.
On the other hand, the reason why the Batman movies bricked so hard is that the screenwriters and directors, namely Joel Shumacher's faggot ass, got away from what Batman/Bruce Wayne is namely the world's greatest detective. Batman isn't about gadets and super villians, Batman is about this crazy guy that through the force of seer will, trained himself to become a crime fighter to avenage his parents' death. I saw Hostel the other day. When I saw the movie I realized that Hostel would've made a great Batman movie. Imagine it taking place in Gotham City. The Joker ( or some other nutcase) gets this great idea to have a place where people can toture other human beings for a fee. Throw in Bruce Wayne's love interest becoming a victim of this place, and you have the classic Batman film.
Which brings us to Superman. Superman isn't the easier character in the world to adopt to film. Namely because his rogues ( fanboy speak for villians) are garbage. Supes only have four decent villians. Lex Luthor, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Doomsday, and maybe Metallo. Part of what makes a superhero great is his rogues. Which is my Batman is the greatest character of all time. He has the best rogues, and the rogues that would make the easiest transition from comics to film, if the screen writers would only stick to established continuity.
Anway, Doomsday would work because he "killed," Superman. This would have to be the last movie in the series. Metallo works because he's a cyborg with kytronite heart. How do you beat a guy that's powered by the one thing that can kill you? Mxyzptlk works because he he isn't the sterotypical villian. He isn't in for world conquest or monitary gain. He's in it due to boredom. He comes from the 5th Dimenision simply to **** with Superman and to give himself something to do. You can have a whole movie with him ****ing with Superman and Superman trying to get him to say his name backwards to send him back to where hence he came. This plot could work if written properly.
Which brings us to one of the greatest villians of all time Lex Luthor. Despite the fact that Superman has powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, he can't touch Lex. Luthor is a billionaire with vast power and resources. The impetus of Luthor's loathing of Supes is due to the fact that Superman arrested him for jeopardizing the lives of guests during a hostage situtation on his yacht. Luthor held back his security team to see what "Supes could do in person." Then Supes rejected his offer to be on the LexCorp payroll. Add insult to injury, "When Luthor protest Mayor Berkowitz about not being arrested because he was the "most powerful man, in Metropolis," the mayor responded with "not anymore Lex." When Lex got out of jail, with wasn't very long, he confronted Superman and told him he was going to kill him, and eveybody was going to know he (Luthor) killed him, but nobody would be able to prove it.
The following scenerio would've worked in the revival of the Superman franchise. Out of all the scripts for potential Superman movies, why was this one picked? The first two movies where cool, but nothing you would want to tie a new movie into.
Then Supes was COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER!!! Clark Kent WOULD, NEVER, NEVER, EVER, use his powers to spy on Lois Lane. It's completely against his morals and values. In addition if he was in that deep of a relationship, he just wouldn't of left for five yrs.
The most of ergegious of all this bull**** is "SuperKid." Superman doesn't have a kid. It doesn't work.
Once I saw who was playing Supes. I knew something was wrong. Brandon Routh doesn't have the build to be Superman. Then I saw the "S" on the belt buckle, then I heard Brando footage was included. Once I heard that this movie was going to be tied into the pervaious series and that there was a "SuperKid," I knew this movie was going to suck.
Then there's the blanant "reaching for the female demographic aspects to this movie. Why was there a need to reach out to the female demographic?
I'm just glad I didn't pay money to see this movie. I view it on a VERY BAD bootleg DVD. The only good parts to this movie seems to be, the airplane sequence.
Oh well, there's Spidey next year. But even the reaible Spidey series has me worried, it's "villian heavy," and they decided for some reason to put him in a black version of the red and blue suit as opposed to the black suit with the white spider. Unless I heard something totally crazy, I'll be there opening weekend.
