Batman V Iron Man V Hulk

[Crook]

The thing that's giving me hope is that Mark Millar has been involved on the set and production, and he always keeps raving about how good it looks. He's also said that he'll be the first guy to call bullcrap on a film, so maybe if it deviates from the source, it'll still be a helluva good movie.

Where's the damn poll?

Where's the damn poll?

That's what Im saying! Make sure to have many variations!

 

[Tempest19]

How the heck do you know they fcked up the source material? Was the script leaked or something?

Supervillains and heroes are nonexistent. It's a movie about assassins... uh, duh! Don't even get me fcking started on this dude. Do yourself a favor- read the graphic novel then read up on the film and you can see plain as daylight that the director of the writer should burn in hell for doing what they did to the graphic novel.

Based on that fact alone that it's straying so far from what was iconic about the graphic novel = worst move since Batman and Robin. Hell, I have more respect for Catwoman than this piece of crap adaptation they're trying to shove down our throats. They could have very well developed they're own story- which they more or less did- and call it something else, but they're doing this takes away the chances of a TRUE Wanted film from being made. And for that, I have no respect for these a holes.

This was my Watchman. So, Watchman fans imagine a director that would take away Rosarch's mask! Well, that's what these guys are doing to Wanted.

Why not just make a poll for which movie will make the most

Actually they didn't to anything to the graphic novel. That is still there to read just as it was before . Now what they changed for the movie is a whole other story. i read what it's about, basically a boy's father dies, who was an assasin. So he decides to follow his fathers footsteps. That's what the movie outline said, doesn't sound all that exciting or original. For your sake, the Graphic Novel had better have been entirely different to complain about it.

What they're doing is worse than Batman and Robin dude, read the graphic novel and you'll see the changes. It was a film focused around villains.

Comic book villains took power, killed all the superheroes in the world and wiped their memory of being heroes away. Hell, there was even a take on making two heroes believe they were nothing other than heroes on an old television show- ie. Batman starring Adam West. It would have been the first great film with villains as it's only/key characters. This was destined to be the 'Fight Club' of all comic films.

For anyone whose read the graphic novel, they know that it was a hard title to fck up. But, somehow these guys managed to do just that.

I seriously don't understand how the fck someone can get 'assassins' from 'supervillains' unless their either illeterate or just that dumb to fck up the source material that much.

 

[Wedge A.]

Indiana Jones will beat them all. But The Dark Knight will come out on top for superhero flicks, I believe.

That actually sounds pretty badass Tempest19! That is definetly a kick to the balls if all there doing for the movie is making it into some cliche assasin film. To be honest that is actually worse than what Batman & Robin did. B&R was semi accurate if you compare it to the 60's Batman lol. This is literally INO. You got a WINO here.

 

[RDx]

Hulk is going to be a bust, Its going to be between Iron Man and Dark Knight, but if they do the marketing right, similar to transformers, Dark Knight will over take Iron Man.

 

[Tempest19]

Yeah, as I said they took my favorite graphic novel and bastardized it. It would have been the 'fight club' of superhero films and it was designed to be from conception. Just hoping that this will go like the first ever FF film so that we can get an actual adaptation of it.

Damn. That is a little fcked up.

You've just sold me on this. I just added it to my shopping cart on amazon.

Thanks

I have a feeling that The Incredible Hulk is going to have to rely on word-of-mouth (which it will only get if it's a great movie) to make big money at the B.O, and on the DVD formats. The average joe will likely think it's a sequel to Ang Lee's movie at first. Maybe the Hulk vs. Abomination fights in the trailers will create a "cool factor" that will overcome that.

IronMan has a great release date, and first cinematic installments of Marvel heroes usually have big opening weekends. I wouldn't be surprised if it out grossed TDK, but we are still a year away.

Dark Knight has a lot going for it. Batman vs. The Joker. New costume and new ride. Sequel to Batman Begins, a movie that created a fresh take on the character that was well received. The only thing that can screw it up is the WB marketing department. Or the movie itself if it turns out to be a disappointment.

 

[true316]

I'm really excited for next year. I think out of the superhero movies the Dark Knight will win, but I'm also pretty excited about Iron Man and the Hulk. 2008 is going to be a good year!

(I couldn't find an Iron Man smilie...)

 

[deathfromabove]

I must be the only person, but to me, Indy is overrated.

The only one I really liked was the third one.

blasphemy!!!

seriously? raiders is in my top 10. last crusade wasnt even half as good

Children of men was a tragically bland film, that cheated so much with it's direction.

The use of long single shots saves money and reduces any notion of juxtapositioning and framing. And ignores a lot of key editing choices that the film could have benefitted massively from.

you dont have any idea what you are talking about. those long shots were actually composited digitally. there was no money saved there my friend.

and the lack of framing and juxtapostion is the point as well as to further draw you into the action. i would say the movie benifited highly from the use of extented takes not the other way around. kubrick also used long shots to great effect. since it seems you are in film school (editing 101?) maybe you havent studied stanley yet?

and you are of course entitled to your opinion but that movie made every top ten list last year so your opnion is a lonely one.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Eagerly awaiting Christian Bale's second outing as the DK if its anything like Batman Begins then we're in for a treat.

2008 is set to be the year of the Superhero with Dark Knight being released alongside The Incredible Hulk & the hottly anticipated Iron Man but which film will win fan boys over?

I am a Superman & Batman fan admittley but I do love the Hulk and hope this is better than the Ang Lee version, Iron Man on the other hand i know very little about but from what i have seen it looks good.

So come on which hero will stand above all next summer?

Let me know

Indy4.

Not in film school, I work in the industry, but that makes no difference here.

Kubrick used lengthy shots where they ere necessary, but that was not his entire draw.

The only draw I've heard in children of men in terms of direction is the lenghty edits, which mainly are 3 long sequences. People fail to look at how he handles the direction over the whole film. The lenghty shots were overly contrived, they went past being a useful tool, and became a novelty that took away from the film as a whole.

Indiana Jones and the comic book movies have different demographics. Do you really think that most teenagers or twentysomethings give a damn about Indiana Jones?

That sounds yucky...

Just wondering...What do you do?
