Adaptations! How close to the source material do we all want our movies?

Hey you all its WYLEEJAY. Have you asked yourself lately what kind of movies you want? I know I have.

A lot of comicbook fans complain a lot about how close to the source material the studios usually stick to with the scripts. Myself included. Who wouldn't want to see X men Days of Future Past follow the book? Well I've used The Watchmen in my teaser cause I think its the closest thing to a straight adaptation we will get. Yeah a few things got changed, but I really enjoyed it. The problem is, it was kinda predictable, because we knew what was gonna happen for the most part.

So what about Batman and Spiderman? Was it a good idea for the studios to come up with original stories, with some elements from the source material? There's two arguments here and I'm just wondering what side of this your on? Some would say different is good, others that they shouldn't deviate from the source material as much as they do.

I don't mind the movies being different. As long as its a good film. I just cant stand when they change the characterizations too much. Example you say. How bout Bane from the Dark Knight Rises? Was there a reason to change him so drastically? Or Mandarin in Iron Man 3. We have yet to see that so I hope there's a good reason. The stories themselves I don't usually mind the changes. As long as it doesn't tease you that its going to be one thing and turn out completely different. Looking at you X MEN 3 and your portrayal of Dark Phoenix. This is all just my opinion though.

So if say Marvel is limited to three movies a year, would you rather see something new, or a perfect adaptation? Your only going to get one at a time so why not something original? After all you could just read the book if you want the same story. Right?

Sound off with your thoughts!
WYLEEJAY OUT!
