So there is a totally cool movie coming out, the watchmen, though I'm not quite sure what to expect since I've seen plenty of cool movie trailers that turn out to be really really crappy movies. For instance the league of extraordinary gentlemen had an amazing movie trailer, yet the movie itself was a horrible disaster.
Not only does it seem that good movie trailers can make horrible, horrible movies, but some amazing comic books can become horrible movies also. Taking for example the hulk, it's truly an amazing comic book, but the movie sucked. The plot line didn't mesh with any of the comic books at all. The actors were horrible in it and the scenes seemed choppy, plus half the time it had poor lighting so I couldn't see like anything on the screen.
There of course have been plenty of comics that make amazing movies. Spider man was an absolutely great and amazing movie, and it also kind of follows the plot line of the comic books. The X-Men another great movie, completely follows the plot line and also had amazing actors. Completely following the plot line doesn't automatically make a movie great, in the case of the Electra movie, follow the plot line all the way yet was not the greatest movie, in fact it was dead and dull and I would never watch it again. The fact that, that movie was weird because I was in love with the prequel, Dare Devil, though my love for Dare Devil probably set too high of expectations. That's another thing that bugs me, while one movie can be great the next one in the series can be horrible.
The lack of a plot can also be amazing like in the case of the new bat man movies, the bat man movies don't follow any of the comic scripts. The movies were absolutely stunning and all of the actors did amazing jobs.
I'm not qutie sure what to expect of the watchmen but it looks like it'll be good.
