Well alot of the old marvel comics need to be modernized (except for Captain America) when they get turned into a movie besides i'm pretty sure Jon Fraveu did'nt want to do a period piece.

This is true, however when they're modernized, they stop being true panel to scene incarnations of their comic book origins. Iron Man was cool though, not saying it sucked or anything.

Also, I'm willing to bet they'll modernize Captain America, I know they shouldn't, f*ck knows they shouldn't, but I bet they will.

Can you imagine that bullshit? Captain America created to fight in the Iraq war.... W-wha-??

[B]Aside from build, Reeves was very reminiscent of Supermans character. Atleast Superman fans got an actor who closely represented the characters personality. Unlike the Spiderman fans. They got, well they got...,Tobey Maguire 🙁

God Mcguire was about the worst casting choice possible for that role. 😠 While Raimi unlike Burton at least cast someone who looked the part,Mcguire was such a horrible choice in the fact that his voice makes me cringe when he talks in that voice of his he has. 😘 I have NEVER seen a movie of his that I thought he did a good acting job in.How the hell that guy ever became an actor is beyond me.Must be like Adam Sandler.Sandler is a horrible actor.Its obvious he is only in hollywood cause he has connections.same with Mcguire.

Wouldn't it?

I assume you also agree with me about my first post before that one on Mcguire? LOL.

I'd hope not. There's no reason really. Whether Cap has been frozen 60, 30 or 10 years is of little difference, I think.

I am really looking forward to that movie actually. It sounds much more appealing on the screen than in comic form.

As for Routh, i wouldn't blame anything on Routh. For being a first time actor he did a fine job. I really don't understand why Singer would cast Routh when he obviously wasn't confident in his abilities. The only time Routh had any lines on screen was when he was quoting Reeves lines from past Superman films. Singer took a chance in making Superman a father but he played it safe in not giving us a different Superman character than we saw in the Reeves movies. That is just dumb shit. I do give Routh credit though. With a bit more mass and better direction i think he could have made a great Superman.

Oh don't get me wrong, I am not saying he represented Superman badly onscreen, only that he was a weeny and chubby, which are traits Superman does not have.

I agree with that, other than being a weeny I can't blame him for the crapness of the movie.

Yeah, I'm a fan of Cap even though imo he gets alot of hate cuz he's all patriotic. He's kicked ass, I was surprised they killed him in continuity.

Well Captain America is'nt exactly dead he's still going witb Bucky wearing the costume.

That's pretty much what we, in the real world, call "dead".

Yeah and he is so dumb looking at times when he shows emotion.He's like Opey. 😆

Yeah, but he's dead. Bucky can't hold shit on Cap, it's sad.

Best comic movie

Sin city & Superman I think matches the most with comic story.
There's no much difference in movie to comics.

Massively disagree.

Topher Grace would've been better.

Considering how badly the characters had been adjusted and just flat out neglected in the first film. The second movie, actually felt like an X-men story, regardless of the poor character translations. The first xmen movie didn't feel anything like the x-men. It was good, but the story was stupid and as a fan we had to endure seeing our characters being introduced as other characters. X-2, however, i think, definitely captured the x-men spirit, in story.

if it did, it forgot several key parts of the x-men mythos while it did.

the cyclops/jean/logan triangle has always been that, a triangle. jean wanted logan to an extent, but she always remained loyal to cyclops. they completely overstated the jean logan flirtation.

and cyclops just got flat out screwed over in those movies. one of the central x-men characters, he's as important to the x-men as a whole as logan and xavier. it'd be like making the avengers and screwing over cap just to make thor or tony look good.

Disagreed again.

On the other hand Cyclops is a wanker...

He's kinda like that in the comics, so it's pretty accurate.
