I'm assuming you meant unrealistically here, but to answer your question. I didn't say they were presented realistically or unrealistically. I'm just saying that I tend to not enjoy comic book movies. Sin City isn't realistic, but I love that movie because it flows well within the world that it creates. I'm probably not explaining my thoughts on this well. Sorry.

My main thing, is that I want the movie to be as realistic as possible within the world created. So I'm fine with Lord of the Rings, because the world they set up has magic, etc. Nolan did such a great job with the first two Batman's... I mean... SUCH a good job, that it seemed highly plausible (with the slight exception being the last +/-20 mintues of Batman Begins) that all of that could happen in our world. It's supposed to have that feel, I think.
I agree that Nolan's Batman movies are supposed to feel like our world. I don't think that's what most comic book movies are going for though.I mean, I totally agree with your premise; movies need to stay true to the world they create. I just think that some of these comic book movies do that.

Oh yeah. I totally agree. I'm sure The Avengers does that. However, I'm not saying that IF they stay within that world that I'll automatically like them, in fact, often with comic book movies I still heavily dislike them.I'm just saying that if they don't stay within that world, then it's a deal-breaker for me and impossible for me to like them.That's why I'm so nervous about the new Batman movie. Like you said, Nolan has set it up for 'real' world, and so if it switches to 'that's not possible' territory, there is going to be no way that I'll be able to enjoy it.

I saw it this weekend and thought it was great. Since I hadn't seen all the separate movies, I liked how they took the time to explain them without going into too much depth. And the humor was very natural, not forced at all. I'd definitely recommend it.. It's not Shakespeare, but it's lots of fun.One thing I did think is how usually at action movies you have to lower your expectations and just ignore the stupid parts. When I came out of this one nothing struck me immediately as really stupid. Then I thought about it for a day
Spoiler
Despite that, I'd still recommend it, and will probably watch it again as a rental.

I don't watch animation and generally am indifferent about comic book movies, some are entertaining, some aren't, but I was so shocked when I watched Sin City. I was amazed that I loved it. Carla Guigino's lovely cans and ass didn't hurt, but that wasn't it.

Sin City 2I guess the actual title is "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For."

Yeah, Sin City is 100% Frank Miller. That guy is incredible and the movie followed the first book, and a few of the others, in the Sin City graphic novels almost exactly. The books are really incredible Mexico. I highly recommend you buying them from Amazon. (Think there are 13 total) They are basically the storyboards for the movie, shot for shot.

They just set a release date for it, so I think it's actually going to move forward now. Granted, the release date is end of 2013, so I don't think I could hold my breath that long anyway.
