Hopefully the Hollywood CGI generation of the 2010's will finally get it together and stop trying to add their own twists on Comic Book and Fanboyfilms...It hasn't worked, won't work, and never will.
Everybody in Hollywood wants to make themselves famous by reinventing something classic.
If some "new twist/take" on a character was successful its because of pure luck. Yup...I said it. Heath Ledger's Joker wouldn't have been sosuccessful had he been alive....and this is coming from one of the biggest Batman fans you'll ever meet. He did the role justice, but it wasn't thebest villian in a comic movie ever. And everybody praises Jack Nicholson for his Joker...when in actuality, he bombed the role and many people will agree withme. (An overweight Joker? Huh?!)
When you make a characters stick to their classic roots it goes so well and smooth and beautifully....Doc Ock in Spidey 2, Lex Luthor in 80's and 2006,Magneto in X-Men. Not always though...Ghostrider, Daredevil, Elektra, Judge Dredd, Batman Forever, (Most of) Watchmen etc... just sucked....flat outsucked...It's like they were making fun of the characters by taking them soooooo serious. I think the only movies we can take kinda serious is whenthey're done like the Dark Knight, V For Vendetta, 300, Punisher War Zone. They did what Frank Miller and Alan Moore did to comics, they introduced allthese psychological and socialogical elements that draw us in because...*dun dun dun*...We're human*$&#&$ beings and it made a point...we're not kids here....we're not stupid.
Yea wanna watch these movies but not just for karate flips, CGI, costumes, tities, gadgets, etc. If we can't relate to the protagonists of the movie,We're gonna walk out saying "This sucked" and we ain't gonna buy the DVD and go on the internet and talk $#*% that will make other people notwanna see it either. I can only compare these crappy movies to like all these crappy Detective, Criminal Law and Forensics shows on TV...They know stuff likethat gets out attention...but if the plot and story/character development sucks....No amount of weird death scenarios or hot big titty cleavage milfs in heelsis gonna make me go out of my way to watch it. I'm gonna get bored after a while....I feel this is what these comic book and CGI movies are doing...theymaking me not excited about anything.
I didn't even go see Transformers 2 or Terminator 4 this year and I'm one of the biggest fans of that stuff. Why? I feel like I just came from work andI sat down at the dinner table and I look at my wife like "Meatloaf....Again!?"
Yea yea yea...I know. "Get a blog"...You're mother....
