Special K 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 I think it's sort of sad that some of the very best comics/books that would lend themselves to film are stuck in hell. Specifically the best comic book ever: Watchmen, and (IMO) the best sci fi book ever Neuromancer. V was great, and Constantine was surprisingly good. Of course then you have Frank Miller's terrible Robocop 3 and William Gibson's terrible Johnny Mnemonic, and maybe it's mostly best left to pulp. Superman Returns will do just fine. Although, it bugs me when people put the cost of the movie at 350+ mil since it was in production for so long. Yeah, it's Singer's fault that they spent 100+ mil on the movie before they even started it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zaius 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 The only reason anyone should ever care about box office returns is that it influences what types of movies are more likely to get made. The fact that Superman Returns made the suits at Warner Brothers a few million less than they'd hoped should pretty much only be the concern of the shareholders of AOL-Time-Warner.
