Often, it's the preoccupation with things like sonic cannons that makes for bad comic adaptations. I hate it when fans complain about things like Juggernaut being a mutant in X3 instead of being crystal-powered. Don't complain about that, that was obviously a good choice. Complain that he was a ******, undeveloped character who's sole purpose for being in the film was to quote a youtube joke.
80-95% of the technology and explanations behind what happens in a comic book is pulled out of somebody's ass. Radioactive Spider? Gamma Bomb? Stan Lee was obviously not a scientist. What was missing from movies like FF wasn't the unstable molecules, it was believability and identifiability of the characters.
Fundamentals. Stick to what's really good about the story. That's the beauty of film adaptations. You can use what really works. What really matters and ditch the stupid stuff.
