5. Ra's is Arabic, not white.That is all that I can think of right now; I'm sure that I am missing some. Begins was hardly "faithful" to the source material.
I used to read Batman comics, way, way back in the day. But I was 1st introduced to Ra in the old 90's Batman cartoon. In the cartoon he did lead the league of shadows an he was/or appeared caucasin an used Lazarith pits to stay young cause he was 100's of years old.
And in the cartoon they pronounced his name RAY-SH AL-GHOUL, not Ras.

Yeah Tobey Maguire really DID suck as Spider-Man/Peter Parker.I will take Nicholas Hammond any day of the year over Maguire.He at least looked the part.Some people here just dont get it though that no matter how good of an actor you are if you dont even come close to resembling the part you bring no credibility to the role and Maguire was no exception to that rule.Reminds me of Burt Reynolds being cast for Boss Hogg.In Both cases,I was muttering to myself-WTF?
thank god for Nolan,a fans director.
Tobey Maguire did a great job as spiderman.

I liked the spider-man movies and so did most people. Thats why they made so much money and are number 6 and 9 of the biggest box office hits. I'm sure part 3 will be up there on the list as well. 😉
oh jesus,here we go again with someone who just because they like the movies,they want to believe most people do when there is no evidence of that. 🙄 No the reason they made so much money was because of what an extremely popular icon figure spider-man is.Doc Ock lives in denial on this issue but he knows its true that thousands of kids across the country got thier parents to go back to the theaters again and again to give it the repeat business it got.If this movie was made from a comicbook that had only been out for 6 months it would never have been the blockbuster it was at the theaters. 🙄 Elektra wasnt a kids flick like the man-spider movies are and she is not anywhwere near the popularity that spidey is.Many people,not just comicbook fans,movie goers in general,are just happy too see hollywood stop talking about making a spiderman movie that they had been doing so for over a decade and finally get to see the name spider-man up on the screen.So happy that they wont remove the blinders in front of them to see how horribly written these movies really are.okay so to YOUR logic then,most people then liked SHREK 2 AND THE PHANTOM MENACE STAR WARS movie.Okay I see. 😆 great point. 😆 😂 after all,they are ahead of spider-man one in the top 10 movie blockbusters of all time. 😄
Oh and something else I forgot to mention yesterday was just because I hate the man-spider movies to the extremes,isnt the reason that I say they are kiddie flicks.As people like spycspider,doc ock and silverstein already know,I bash the Burton Batman films to the extremes just as much as I do the man-spider movies in the batman section all the time just as much.I hate them every bit just as much. But I have never said that they are kiddie flicks.They are more adult themed.They really werent kiddie flicks.Horribly written movies yes,but not kiddie flicks.The man-spider movies have all these teenage sob storys going on so its obvious that these movies have been targeted at the teenagers and kiddies.yeah if you want to watch a kiddie flick made mostly for kids than yeah stick with the man-spider movies.I myself like to see a comicbook movie thats adult themed and well written,therefore i will stick with Elektra anyday of the year over these kiddie flick man-spider movies. 😄
