[QUOTE=Coot]Well, it would be very interesting to see what someone else than Hollywood would do with the whole superhero concept.[/QUOTE]
well maybe, but first I'd like films that are based on comics that don't shove everyone into spandex and hand out superpowrs willy-nilly. I mean, hollywood can hardly be blamed for some of the source material.

Didn't M. Night Shyamalan already do that in Unbreakable?
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

possibly, but even if he did, I wouldn't mind, well, more.

All his movies are so slow...Unbreakable should be named "Unwatchable". ;)

Sorry for the delay guys. Really am.

Gevaudan'sBeast i guess. I never saw it in the light of the torment a man has to undergo. Even then there was not much of it shown in the movie. Too much was spent time was spent on him jumping around. The graphics were great, but i found the over all experience lacking.

RT you are right. I was just expecting too much. The comics are really good and i was just wanting to see the same level in the movies. However i dont think you need just one character to make a movie work. There are many where teams have played a very important role. Look at LOTRs. Completely team based. Emphasizing 6 or 7 characters isnt that hard, especially when you have a wealth of background information that is the comics.

Kayless firstly i would like to apologise if i came off as harsh or extremely critical of your views. I didnt mean to do that. :) I like wovi and have read his comic book series for roughly 7 years. Stopped just recently. Basically it is personal opinion. He has character depth but nothing like Peter or Kurt. I really love his attitude and the way he is protrayed but i think it is little too limited. It focuses, well focused on his past and that is it.

Blade has had a good run. I was happy with the movies, but then again i never read the comics.

I remember a movie i watched i cant remember its name. Basically Vampires vs lyncs (wererats) it was shot in Hungry and i think it had Kate Benkinsale. WHat was its name? It had a comic book feel to it.

When is Blade 3 coming out?

Also anybody want to provide me with the a synopsis of the Wolverine Origins story line. I cant find taht bloody comic anywhere in Switzerland and i cant be bothered to order it from the US. All i know is that he is roughly 150 years old.
