Looks like a descent movie. they are getting better at comic adaptations as time progresses, or so it seems to me.

You have to admit that we have had Horror, Aliens, Plagues (yes horror I suppose) Armageddon, and Marvel comics being flogged. To me its like a good song you hear on the radio, they flog the song/theme to death to the point when a good one does come out you arent interested...just my scope on it mate...tell me if its any good in one word my friend...LOL.

3d films normally can go to hell (apart from Mr Cameron and that's because he knows what he is doing and not just trying to just cash in) but this is a marvel film and this is a step towards Avenges. Was not sure about Anthony Hopkins being in it (even being welsh made me think he was a little strange choice), but his part in the trailer held its own. Think its got alot of work to get fan boys into this over Green Lantern which has a very similar trailer.

As for the thing I hear a lot of, the whole "making graphic novel/comics into films, hasn't that been overdone a bit?" (not directed at you Bullet, I've heard that a lot everywhere lately) well, good graphic novels are good story's, you dont really hear people saying "making books into films, that's been done loads before..."
I say, if its a good story, go ahead, I want to see it, who cares if it's been done loads of times before, it's good to see another persons take on it.
Not really into the whole 3d thing, not really interested, it's the story that comes first, and visuals look better in 2d to me anyway. On a more comical note, I had thought, I wonder if when colour tv came in this kind of divide happened, "ah, colour, its just a fad, it'll never last..." LOL!
There aren't that many new genres of story to do either, new ones that have cropped up in past years, like ZomRomComs etc are welcome when they are done well, but there are probably more new sub-genres that shouldn't be tried than should....
But then I'm a big fan of graphic novels, sci-fi and horror films, and all things Zombie! So I say make as many as you can, for as long as you can, I'll even watch the crap ones and enjoy them a little bit too.
Tweety, I'm with you on the "road to the Avengers", has the potential to be the best comic adaptation ever, lets hope that happens!
And the Walking dead is excellent, more programming like that is very much needed!

reviews are almost always poo. it will receive bad reviews like every other movie because generally movies these days dont seem to be allowed to be good...Dunno,

a reviewer is likely to go in with an already made up mind. I hardly ever hear about people who go in to a movie expecting it to be crap and then coming out thinking it was totally awesome...
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

hmm,I hardly ever hear about people who go in to a movie expecting it to be crap and then coming out thinking it was totally awesome...
I always thought it was the opposite, if you're not expecting much from a movie but turns out to be half way decent, then you're more likely think it was really good, as it shot way above your expectations. Same applies for a movie you thought was going to be amazing, but only turns out to be good, it'll strike too low and you'll think it was crap.... or at least not very good.
