@hero4life. The point is, spotlighting a character, finding out what people feel about the transition from comics to the movies.

@VideoColor. You might be tired of these "worthless articles." But I know who theWitness is, and enjoy the conversations and debates that start with these articles. You, I've never heard of, and frankly have never spoken to. So either contribute, or don't waste time posting insulting comments. Makes you, kinda look bad.

@TheWitness. Another great article. I'll have to agree with Shadowboxer above. Cudmore did a great job, and was one of the better parts of both movies, and should have had a lot more screen time. They did take a lot of liberties with the character, but they also didn't explain anything about the character. So, almost all of it could be fixed, which makes it slightly better. I'd be happy to see him reprise this role.

Um, sorry but how the hell can you tell if Cudmore did a good job when he literally had 2 lines of dialog in both movies! There are plenty of big dudes that can stand on a marker and have the special effects team turn them metallic! IMO he brought(or at least wasn't aloud to bring) a single thing to the franchise. Not necessarily his fault but he still had zero screen presence.

Sorry VideoColor, I guess Joslezio85 isn't going to allow you to be part of the elite club. No secret handshake for you! My guess would be that you're voicing your frustration with fluff articles that don't provide cutting edge news on future CBM projects. I understand that, but I also understand the purpose of the fluff articles. They give us fanboys (and girls) something to discuss while we wait for something concrete to show up. Some of these articles hit and some miss.

That being said, VC, just show a little patience, and Jos, you could be a little less condescending.

@Knightstalker. I'm not being condescending. I never said my articles were awesome and that everyone knows who I am. I was just saying that if your going to call names and insult peoples articles, than you should at least do articles or something of your own. It's like this one guy at my work who keeps calling me lazy even though he doesn't do his job and I fix his mistakes regularly. Don't talk unless your doing something worth while yourself. I don't know, perhaps I'm being a total douche about it. I'm just sick of this constant attacking on this site. Plus, this isn't even in news. If it was before, than that is my bad. But, it's not now so therefore, no one should be expecting anything cutting edge. TheWitness is basically giving something to talk about Which, imo, builds morale for the sight and keeps people coming. I come here for the Comradery and conversation, and people who attack it, annoy me. Nevermind. My bad.

@Ror. All in all, your right. But, in the physical aspect, and action scenes. I think he pulled it off well. Your right that there are plenty of big guys who can do that. I still liked him though.

not bad dude, but you need more info. Can't blame you though. Collosus wasn't really used as a major character.
