finally the end of the comic book film conversion era?
« on: July 23, 2004, 05:56:17 PM »
Catwoman trailer

It was bad!  It was AWFUL!  Oh, it was terrible! take it away!  Hey, BOO!

I think it's apt to use this Muppets quote, especially when considering the complete muppets who thought this film would be a good idea... hopefully the general public won't make themselves look the muppets instead by actually going to see this crap...

IMO, the only decent/half-decent comic book conversions:

Batman, X-Men

Allegedly the following are also from comics though, which I rate as half-decent or better:

From Hell, Underworld

I watched The Crow recently and didn't think much of it, though perhaps my opinion was adversely affected by quite a few people recommending it.

I hope you're not knocking Thundercats, that was one of my favourite cartoons :-P

'Batman Begins' teaser trailer available.  I have some hope for this film, it isn't directed by Joel "turn everything into a gay joke" Schumacher:

Impressive lineup: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372784/

Haven't watched the trailer, but in the lineup I'm missing "the joker".. Wasn't it he who "created" Batman ?


I think that was a variation for the first Batman film, just like there are variations between the various X-Men series (between each other) and the films.

Though I've never read any Batman comics.

Watched Batman (the film, Tim Burton) last night :-)
