Yeah these days, A Comic book film or the like either has to be New and never adapted before, Adapted before and have done well financially, or just have a large enough fan base to warrant multiple attempts at a franchise. Otherwise major studios do not care to touch the thing and unless the demand for it grows all of

I remember seeing Rises in the theater and I swear, When that "Where's The Trigger!!" scene came around I busted out laughing at how ridiculous it truly was. The bad thing is that I was not alone, Others also found it amusing.

Well, If that is the case, It is a better version of Batman Begins so either way, Pretty awesome to me.

Dirty Laundry is what The Punisher film should have been and is the reason that I now feel like Thomas Jane would indeed make an Amazing Punisher if given the right material. As for Spawn, I somewhat agree that it is a very hard thing to adapt and do it right. It is insanely detailed and would be a task to say the

Also I think you are mistaking those other adaptations, Sure there are some dark and gritty ones, But most of the time, Directors mistake actual Darkness, as in making their films look cold and dead with zero color, For "Dark and gritty" When I say Dark and Gritty, I am referring to Daredevil knocking some scumbags

Seriously, That voice is possibly the worst case of over-acting I can think of. "WHERES YOR TRAGGGERRR EWHEUIR IS IT!!!!!!" Like jesus, Shut the hell up already. I dealt with it in The Dark Knight because the material and the film itself made up for it but any other time, God.

Maybe, Maybe not, But they have been 99 percent PG-13 so there is that.

Yeah that is true about the last 3 Punisher attempts, So odd that they just can't get it right. Though i will say that Thomas Jane handles the job well, Just the material didn't work. If given good material, I think he is actually a good choice for the part.

I really want a live action Spawn that serves the material well. The HBO animated series definitely nailed the vibe needed for a good adaptation but the film was a catastrophe. I think while mainstream film is doing all of the PG-13 stuff, TV (Cable, Premium, Netflix, etc.) would be a great place for darker and more

Well, maybe a few years ago, before executives decided to scour the history of Comic Books and Young Adult novels to adapt anything and everything for the widest audience imaginable, It would seem odd, But at this point I crave darkness, adult content, and ultra violence like Air.

This show is great. So damn refreshing to see a superhero story told in this way. Dark and gritty. I was just about to the point of never wanting to see another adaptation again because it just feels like we have been overly flooded with them lately and they all usually have the light tone. This show has made me

I completely forgot to mention that I am so pleased with the end of Boyd's story. For a guy that was so engrossed in living an outlaws life and presumably getting a blaze of glory outlaws death, The fact that his story ended anticlimactic with him in jail for probably the rest of his life, No more great escapes, No

So true, That is why while Justified might never get the full appreciation it so rightly deserves, It will always remain in a class all it's own and in a class few shows can claim. Though some people might say season 5 was a weak point, I disagree, It was still a well above average season of TV and in the long run of

This was an amazing finale. Might go down as one of the best ever for me. This is how you end a series without feeling like you have to cram a ton of events into the finale to please everyone, Without the need for anything more than the same elements that have made the entire series so great. It was exactly the kind

That just sounds like he is any other person in the world that has an opinion. The fact that he likes to film and edit his opinions on subjects into short films and share them is no different than the so many million Twitter and Facebook users. I mean, Does not agreeing with someones opinions on Professional Wrestling

Well I can certainly understand that, Opinions are opinions and I have disagreed with many popular opinions when it comes to TV and Film. Maybe next season will be more to your liking, You should at least give it a try when the time comes, Never know.

Flawlessly, By it's standards. It did what IT wanted to do, Which was be ridiculously entertaining. It did that I'd say, Flawlessly.

I am sorry but I really don't agree on that, Season one felt way more "mindless" than the following 2 have to me, Season one had the awesome action, But not the well drawn characters. Which isn't the shows fault really, It is just the way it is going to be when a show has subject matter such as this, and is almost

Really? I thought Hand Of God was by far the best thing Amazon has done.

Because he loves the show, He is a fanboy? Are critics not allowed to love something like regular viewers? Maybe, He actually doesn't have many problems with the show, Maybe he actually feels what he is saying in these reviews. Maybe he is doing what a good critic does, and is taking the show in context. This was a
