  “I have nipples Focker, can you milk me?” , Robert DeNiro to Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents Right now, comic books are the hot property that are being adapted into movies. I'm actually loving this trend because I'm a comic book junkie. I can't get enough of them. However, with the exception of Superman 1 and 2, Hellboy, and the X-Men movies, Hollywood never seems to want to stay totally true to the comic book.
Here are some examples: Superman 3: Richard Pryor comedy. Batman and Robin and Batman Forever: Nipples?! The Hulk: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hulk. More father/son angst and less Hulk. I like Ang Lee, but he was the wrong director for this film. Daredevil: Good movie (I don't care what the other online critics say), but why-oh-why was he leaping across buildings like Spiderman? His super human powers involved his senses, not his physical prowess. Spiderman: Another good movie, but what was up with him shooting webs out of his wrist instead of a webslinger? What was James Cameron thinking when he initially wrote that synopsis? Punisher: Florida?! The Punisher belongs in New York...not Florida! Yes, the above are nitpicks, however I can never understand why Hollywood doesn't stay true to the comic it's adapting with minor exceptions, such as the X-Men movies when it comes to the costumes.
The actors would look a little silly wearing spandex...except for Hallie Berry... Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the efforts that are being made to getting comic books adapted into movies. Comic books, to me, are an unappreciated medium. When most people think of comic books, they tend to think of Spiderman, The Hulk, and Daredevil. Who thinks of The Watchmen by Alan Moore, Sandman by Neil Gaiman, and Maus: A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegleman? I just wish that the movies were more faithful to their source comic and that the producers trusted their core audience more.
