Well movie season has begun, next month we're hittin some doozies X-Men 2 and Matrix: Reloaded, both looking spectacular I might add. X2 I take special interest obviously since I've been reading X-Men related stuff since I was 10. And the first movie they did a good job, they did what they had to do. Which was to introduce the world and some characters and not make it look totally goofy, but serious. But all the introducing the world took up a lot of time. This movie they can go all out, since we know who they are, and can exploit these characters to their fullest. If you haven't seen it I recommend seeing the X2 trailer because its a really good trailer for what promises to be a really good/fun movie.

While I'm talking about Comic book movies I also want to mention Daredevil, another comic book I read and like a whole lot, albeit I haven't been reading nearly as long as I have X-Men. That movie also did a really good job, it captured the characters, and told an interesting story, all the while being true to the material, and not looking totally ridiculous. Since Daredevil is a more "real" hero than Spider-Man or many others made it a bit easier to be a movie (plus not having people in their mid-twenties play teenagers), the whole movie just "felt" good to me, dare I say as much as I like Spider-Man, I like Daredevil better...it just felt more right, I like to think of it as Spider-Man had great actors, while Daredevil had great characters.

Coming Soon this summer The Hulk will be coming out, just saw the newest Trailer, there is no doubt I will see this movie as soon as it comes out. I never read the Hulk very much, but I know enough history and basics of the character to know whats right and wrong. This movie is directed my Ang Lee, a director I trust very much (Crouching Tiger, Sense and Sensibility), but I have this feeling in the back of my mind that its gonna end up looking goofy. The look of the movie is solid, its the Hulk himself, I have no problem with CGI, I have no problem with the size of the Hulk, since he's actually that size in the comics. I can't put my finger on it, first it seemed like a lack or drama from the early clips and trailer, all they showed was some action, and the thing that looked most wrong, they show him tossing around this tank like it was nothing, while the Hulk is that strong...it looks totally ridiculous, it looks comical. The newest Trailer made me feel a bit better, showed more drama, more character, but just as much showed these brief shots of the Hulk doing things that look...goofy. I trust Ang Lee I really do, but I can't help but worry, since its the one comic movie we know the least about. Look at the trailer, see for yourself, I think you'll understand what I mean. Oh here's the new Hulk Trailer

Oh and just for kicks the new Matrix Trailer, because it rocks the house.

Guess thats all for now, although looking at that, seems kinda long. Why can't I write stuff that long when I need to for school.....
