Who do you think has ruined a potentially unbeatable comic book adaption more?
Ang Lee or Bryan Singer?

Wow that was one of the most ignorant comments I've read in awhile.
I loved Hulk and Superman returns. So I don't think any of the directors
ruined the comic book. i thought they were great movies.

just because the movies didn't make much doesn't mean they ruined the adaptation (spell it right).
if you make a great adaptation without the intention of even selling it at all, just because you don't get any money from it doesn't make it a poor adaptation.

no comparison,bryan loved supes and this films was his dream,he didnt compromise that dream and mainstrem audineces found the film boring.I bet as kid bryan saw supes 3 and thought "this isnt how its supposed to be" and thought up the films we all saw.It just wasnt big enough you know? but it was a superman film from a diehard superman fan and it shows through.ANG LEE IS A SON OF A ***** who didnt know what he was doing and id love to mess him up for what he did.As for bryan I only hold x3 against him,he should have been there for his first big film/films the third time but if i were to be offerd hulk and had just done two great xmen films i think i would go to hulk.

Good question, partypooper...hmmm, I think I'd say Ang Lee screwed up a tiny bit more than Bryan Singer, since they are ALREADY talking about restarting the Hulk franchise.
We'll have to see how Superman Returns floats in the B.O. I think it'll make good money, but not nearly as much as they expected. And the critics seem to like this one more than they liked Hulk, so it seems this film has the edge.
But, I'd rather neither of these directors ever touch a comic book film again.

Good question. Both took their own vision and injected it in to cool characters that didn't need to deviate from the source material. Singer thought the original Superman film was the material he needed to mirror instead of Supes' rich comic history. Ang changed the origin, added Hulk poodles and a useless father character. I don't know what's worse. Being unoriginal and ripping off other people's work from the 1970's or being too original and creating awful material? Regardless, they both managed to deliver poorly paced films.
The Hulk delivered 30 minutes of fun wrapped in bizarre Ang Lee babble.
SR delivered 5 minutes of fun wrapped around a silly unoriginal plot.
I vote Singer screwed up more but it's close.

Bryan Singer, at least Ang Lee's Hulk movie had good action scenes.
Superman Returns is by far the most homoerotic superhero movie Ive ever seen. I didnt know if I was watching a Superman movie or a softcore gay porn with a man in a superman outfit. At least ang lee didnt try to force his sexuality upon us. When Superman got beat up on new krypton I didnt know if Lex Luthor was going to stab him or start making out with him. Were those 3 guys beating him up or gang banging him? I couldnt tell. Bryan Singer needs to keep his no-so-subtle gay references to himself and not put them in his movies.

I wouldn't go as far as saying ruined. I liked the hulk but recognize it really pounds you over the head with its overly serious tone as if it's bound to win an award or something, sucking the fun out of it in the process...
I get the same feeling from returns, but even more. Take that as you will.

As far as I know it as a "fresh" rating on RottenTomatoes.
About 50% of the people who voted gave the movie 9 & 10 rating.
Screwed it up? How? Just because a minority of people didn't like it?

It's reasons like this, that comic films decline in quality over time. Why? *****ing by ungrateful fans. Oh I'm horribly sorry it wasn't mad just as you liked it. You know what, then write a script, buy a studio, and direct the movie. Then it can be made just like you want it. Superman Returns for me was probably the greatest comic to film adaption I have ever ****ing seen. You know what, if Superman: The Movie were released to day this thread would be "who's worse Ang Lee or Richard Donner".
I don't expect everyone to like a god dammed movie. But try to be intelligent about it. Or you know what all those so called normal folk we talk about and say they're the closed minded idiots that make fun of us for liking comics, maybe they're right. Maybe they're right.

I find a must agree with my POed partner in posting.
Most of the criticisms that have been directed at SR are more fan-gripes than actual criticism of SR as a film. Hulk, in most people's opinions, suffered as a film from Ang Lee's direction, and thusly it's in a completely different category than SR. IMO, at least. Not to mention, so far, both the critical reaction (from both the professionals and the normies) have been quite a bit more favorable for SR than it was for Hulk.
The only place you may be able to compare the two is box office. But it's still too early to make many predictions on that. If SR is gifted with BB's legs, we won't even be having this conversation a few months from now.

Stupid poll. Superman Returns was amazing, Hulk bored me. I tried to like Hulk, I really did. I was just bored. No fanboy gripes about his dad doing testing on him or him being too big. I just found the movie to be poorly made. Wasn't a fan of that comic-book editing style either.
Superman Returns, on the other hand, is the opposite for me. I love the movie, and my only, minor criticisms of it come from my inner fanboy, partially wishing it had been a more post-crisis story.

Even if you didn't like the Hulk, you have to respect Ang Lee because he had the courage and creativity to try something different than the usual formula, Singer just went and made a rehashed 20 years too late sequel.
CConn
07-02-2006, 05:32 PM
There's a fine line between courage and foolishness.
Looking at the pretty drastic changes Singer made with the X-Men films, I really don't think he's particularly afraid of making changes. He just loved what Donner did, and wanted to continue that. He saw that there was the opprotunity to make something fantastic out of it. Which I personally think he did.
Everyone seems to be so goddamn hung up on the fact Singer didn't try to completely reinvent Superman or something, that they (seemingly) completely forget that fact SR was actually a good - even great - film. Yeah, Singer didn't make the Superman film you wanted to see, but he made a good one, and you should at least respect him for that.

However, at least it's complaints about the actual film than (rather than "It's a sequel to the Donner? It must be horrible then!"), and for better I won't call you mean names behind your back.

EDIT: Dammit, I did it anyway. :(

Superman Returns Sucked! Yea OK,Like I really buy the whole "Lois Lane and her husband really own a helecopter with a beachfront property in what looks like Manhatten" Gee they own all that working for the Daily Planet. Just another one of the many plot holes this film has.
Like I really buy the "my son is my husbands' son" Yea ok look how little Lois Lane is! After say 4-5 months she'd be showing her pregnacy after superman knocked her up,What did she do? Jump in James Madson's bed right after she got some from superman? You really think a women like Lois Lane would jump in his bed right after superman then say that it's father is someone who really isn't? Besides, Kitty was annoying and Lex Luther sucked..If Lex Luther was going to kill billions of people then sell beach front properties to make himself a fortune,who in the world would buy them since he killed billions of people? everyone would be dead but him?? And some of you people are calling this a good movie???

Well I tend to think outside comic films is a better judge and that The Ususal Suspects trumps anything Lee has done (and yes, that includes Brokeback Mountain). As for comic films, every Bryan Singer comic book movie has been good (Superman Returns, X-Men) or great (X2) and Lee's single comic book movie (Hulk) is uneven, slow, poorly edited and despite some great performances and visuals, rather mediocre.
So why compare the two then?

Thanks dude, your commentary about this movie is clear, and I have another question, If Superman is stabbed with Kryptonite, by Lex Luthor, why Superman can lift an entire continent, full of Kryptonite!!!!!, but Superman have problems to lift a plane?
I remember Superman 1, and Christopher Reeve is saving, and lifting a plane without problems, but this Superdiapers, a.k.a Brandon Routh, is too weak, when he is saving a plane, but too strong, when he is lifting a contintent, with Kryptonite?

The continent wasn't made of Kryptonite. It was primarily normal Kryptonian crystal with elements of Kryptonite fused in. I'd say it was maybe 70/30, although no one really knows for sure.

I imagine that "Superdiapers" (how mature of you :rolleyes: ) wouldn't have had any trouble with the plane at all if it didn't have, you know, PASSENGERS on it. He had to lower it in a way that wouldn't harm anyone.
The lifting of New Krypton is symbolic: it shows us that it is sheer willpower and determination, not superpowers, that make Superman a true hero.

and for the second question, are you serious, so Superman canīt lift a plane, because the plane is full of passengers, and Superman have problems with that, because he `s trying to save them, when in the first movie and even in cartoons, thatīs easy cake for someone with the power of Superman , but he can lift an entire continent, full of Kryptonite, and also, with Superman having a piece of Kryptonite, inside in him, but he can lift the continent because is "symbolic", what a poor answer, even my cousin of 10 years old, knows that Kryptonite kills Superman, and now on this movie, he is invulnerable to Kryptonite, yes what a great adaptation, not only from comics, but also from the first movies, and even worse, people are defending this lame movie, thatīs funny.

yeah, I donīt see the part where Superdiapers was lifting the island, and close to Brandonīs face, there are pieces of Kryptonite completly green and glowing.

Look no one isn't arguing that no part of the island isn't kryptonite but that the majority of the island is black rock.
And yes the majority is black rock as there is less green and more black to it. Hence, us saying that him lifting it was not as bad as lifting a whole continent of kryptonite which would be glowing green. And if we want to talk about implausability, how about Wolverine being demolcurlaized yet growing back his atoms. At that atomic scale that would have destroyed him. But we don't hear you *****ing about it. From what I recall lifting what was less than a third kryptonite all but killed Superman in this movie by the way.
And above all....it's FICTION.

I'm willing to bet if the Godfather had come out today, dumbasses on the Internet would say it sucked and didn't measure up to the Mario Puzo book. The worst part of it is when you see fanboys who clearly have no CLUE how a film is written or put together complaining about a comic book movie's plot and suggesting that certain things should have been done to make it better... but those things literally have nothing to do with the theme of the movie and probably couldn't have fit into the structure of the film anyway.

Superman should be making Spider-man money. Instead it will be lucky to get a sequel. That's a HUGE failure.

Yes, that's because it was LACED with Kryptonite. As Ben and everyone else has been saying. If you can't understand the meaning of that simple concept, you really aren't fit to be having a discussion about the movie, or that sequence in particular.
Oh, so that huge green crystal next to Superman's head wasn't kryptonite. It was a white crystal LACED with kryptonite.
LMFAO!

Perhaps commercially, it's a failure. But as a movie, it's far from it.

LMFAO!What do you think that green crystal next to Superman's head was sliding out of? White Kryptonian crystal.

Superman Returns was great, but lackluster.
