Disappointment lists are always so iffy.
I really had no expectations for Transformers.... and it somehow ended up worse than I imagined. And I completely forgot The Spirit was this year. Though curious about Lesbian Vampire Killers |
Re: Top 10 movie disappointments on 2009
I honestly don't think The Spirit was as bad as they make it out to be

Re: Top 10 movie disappointments on 2009
I liked The Spirit.

It wasn't. It was released Christmas last year in America. The list used the U.K.'s release date of Jan. 1st 09 for the list. |
Re: Top 10 movie disappointments on 2009
Haha, I'm not going to say anything :D
Though in truth, I never had any disappointments. I don't go to movies having expectations anymore :) |
Re: Top 10 movie disappointments on 2009
What was wrong with Watchmen? I thought it was a decent adaptation or about as good as an adaptation could get. The ending and soundtrack were iffy but I felt it was good eye candy and a decent telling of a difficult graphic novel.
Surely there was something more disappointing. |
Re: Top 10 movie disappointments on 2009
There may have been something else pretty disappointing but the Watchmen trailers were INSANELY accurate and the movie was pretty close but some of the actors and characters were questionable. The soundtrack was iffy and yeah. The trailers were so accurate that they made us expect so much more

I personally enjoyed "The Invention of Lying" and I wasn't upset about the anti-religion thing.

Re: Top 10 movie disappointments on 2009
You can easily tell by the blurb on Watchmen that whoever came up with this list was a giant fan of the comic - therefore nothing, clearly, could compare.
Personally, I think Watchmen was an amazing movie. |
Re: Top 10 movie disappointments on 2009
Yeah, I thought the Watchmen movie was pretty good. It did as decent of a job you could of telling a pretty complicated story in a limited amount of time. The main gripe of that movie is the hideous soundtrack. It was just so out of place and poorly managed most of the time.

Movies are not (comic) books. A good director can respect the source and still produce excellent film. Just as Peter Jackson. |

I wish they'd all realize that really, no matter how they adapt a comic to film, the comic-lovers will always dislike it compared to the comic. |

The fanboys don't matter. Just make a good movie. Favreau understands this, I think. Take from the source what will make it a great movie. Leave what won't work. Make a boat load of cash. Simple. |
