Any time anyone makes a comic book into a movie, in some way, I think they have to kill the comic book.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be.
Maybe every other American movie shouldn't be based on a comic book. Other countries will think Americans live in an infantile fantasy land where reality is whatever we say it is and every problem can be solved with violence.
I think that comics can do things movies can't and vice versa. In my opinion, you only expose their weaknesses if you try too hard at making one exactly like the other.
When someone says 'comic book movies', what they inevitably mean is a summer superhero blockbuster, with heavily-muscled and tightly-gluted men (plus the occasional token woman) in tight-fitting costumes punching the living daylights out of one another for two hours.
The comic book world is a tough business.
Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book.
I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!'
For me, the reason to make the movie is that if people like the comic, then people would like the movie if it was well made. There are good movies for them, but very few. And I mean that in a true sense. If they love your story for freaking 30 years, then they can do a movie about it.
You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.
It seems like they make every comic book into a film. 'Watchmen' is my favorite of all time.
