Yea I thought the same thing too until the trailer hit and it was pretty damn good. Plus I had 2 tickets for 9 bucks which let me buy four 3D tickets for a total of 9 extra bucks.
that would require paying more than $0.01 to see a Michael Bay shithole of a movie.
so.....no.
and in 3d? lolwtfman?
I disagree, if you go into a comic book shop, you'll find a section full of comic books and a section called graphic novels, separate.
and many graphic novels are just bound together comic books. anymore they are one and the same. only diffrence really is graphic novels tend to be larger.
I thought the villains in Batman Begins were well-done.
I agree. I thought Scarecrow was lame, though. only because I don't like Scarecrow, but I agree that the character was great for a, uh..."serious" comic book movie. Raz Alghuel [sic] was great, too. Ledger was also badass as Joker.
Honestly, I think many of the villains have been awesome--
--Green Goblin (you will never fail with DeFoe. never)
--Doc Oc
--Magneto (always awesome)
--those in Watchmen (no spoilers--it is, to me, the echelon of current CB films. almost perfect)
--The Batman flicks (except Two Face was ruined. fuck that)
and plenty of sucked:
--the Hulk films
--Both Iron Mans (Seriously, Iron Man 2 sucked balls. very disappointing)
--anything else from DC.
--Spider Man 3. (Though, they get special credit for completing the near impossible task of utterly ruining one of the greatest modern comic villains ever. kudos.)
--Phoenix/Jean Grey. OK...not as great as Venom (character-wise), but far more dangerous, certainly. damn it--so psyched for her appearance after the awesomeness that was X-Men 2, then...this happened. le sigh...
"Graphic novel" is a modern word for "comic book" because they no longer want to imply comedic content.
Watchmen isn't a comic book film, it's based on a graphic novel.
And very possibly the worst movie in this genre in many years, what a steaming pile.Watchmen isn't a comic book film, it's based on a graphic novel.
Graphic novels are comic books for people who want to pretend they don't read comic books, so they put the word "novel" in there, add a few more words to pics ratio and slap themselves on the back."Graphic novel" is a modern word for "comic book" because they no longer want to imply comedic content.
lol, so the delineation is even less than I granted it.Watchmen is just 12 issue comic book series that spawned over a year then collected and made into a "graphic novel" or trade paperback.
I actually agree, but neither one was a major villain. The problem is they just weren't there enough. The scarecrow only really had a couple of scenes (and gets punked out big time fairly easily). Raz was good, and an ok twist, but again, he just wasn't there for most of it.
I think it works great, but its just a setup.
I thought Green Goblin was just ok. I like Defoe, but I eh, I just don't find Goblin to be very interesting. It was ok for an origin, but nothing more than average at best.
I love Ian, but he just is not a great Magneto. The intellect is there, but its completely missing everything else that made Magneto. You just never got much serious malice out of him. Magneto was willful and strong, I never felt that way about Ian's Magneto. He exudes too much calm consideration for that character. Plus they ruined it with Toad and what they did to Sabretooth, even Mystique was a joke. I'm not even going to touch the third film's atrocious use of villains.
Yeah, I think it counts. Plus, most of these others have been graphic novels as well so its just stupid to try to make much distinction. I personally wouldn't say Watchmen was the best though. It did some things very well but the movie devolved into a cliche halfway through.

Can't see the picture (firewalled) .. but this is the current costume in the movie..
that does look stupid
First, most posts above are ignorant.
Second, America has lost it's pride. No one knows their neighbor anymore. If all hell breaks loose your worst enemy is those next-door to you.
What will be interesting is how they take a guy who has no real super powers and make a movie out of it.
He'll be the first non-super super hero.
And what are they going to do with him in the avengers movie? Cap'n can't stand up next to Thor or Iron Man. Will be interesting to see how they work him in with the 'real' super heros.
Some how, his pants also grew larger.
