Most of the stuff I see quoted or linked are AintitCool.Com type sites. Those types of reviewers get paid off all the time. It's not fanboy hate, it's the reality of the movie business.

i meant more looking in hindsight with the other batman actors that came after him (Kilmer and Clooney)Nivek said:Well, he only had to compete with Adam West. So he had a very small hill to climb.
SpandexFan said:Then.... I saw the first Batman trailer. OMG! Blown away! The Bat outfit looked cool as hell, Jack Nichsolson as the Joker was awesome, and they even showed the famous Batwing scene. The movie had me at hello. I knew I was going to like it.
You can say alot of things about Arnold Swarzenegger, but he was a good Conan. As far as Tarzan goes, you can't get better than Johnny Weismuller. There is no actor who is going toaccurately portay a fictional character in your mind, because everyone will always have a different interpretation of what that character is supposed to be.afan said:IMHO Batman has yet to be correctly cast, and like two other of my favorite fictional heroes Tarzan and Conan, has also yet to be accurately portrayed on film.
Not a comment on the quality of any film efforts, to date just on the failure to present the character.
Wizard Magazine didn't exist until 1992. Nice try though.SpandexFan said:I

Personally I always thought(At the time) Alec Baldwin would have made a better Batman/Bruce Wayne than Michael Keaton. That's the reason I liked Christian Bale's performance in BB.

Really? I've read Tarzan of the apes, I've also read Starship Troopers and that also has nothing to do with the movie either. The thing is , a movie isn't a novel, and shouldn't have to be exactly like a book. I remeber in the 90's there was a syndicated TV version of Conan that was supposed to be more in line with Howard's novels, but it didn't work in live action.afan said:Clearly you have never read the source material; the books of Burroughs(Tarzan) and Howard (Conan). Find 'em read 'em, and then judge the films in relation to the source material.
I am a huge fan of the Weissmuller Tarzan films, but they truly take liberties with the character.
Yeah...people who grew up with the old movies without reading the books (and just for the record...I grew up with the old movies...then read the books)....don't realize that Tarzan winds up an articulate gentleman (he learns to speak French before English for example) who will turn into an avenging beast at the drop of a hat.afan said:Clearly you have never read the source material; the books of Burroughs(Tarzan) and Howard (Conan).
