![]() The latest incarnation of this famous hero-team: In insulted disgust, I yelled back, “Yes! I did expect ‘yellow spandex’!” It was a direct slap at all of the X-Men and Wolverine faithful (of which I am one) who were expecting at least an attempt at adapting the comic-book look to the big screen. The sarcastic answer came back from “Cyclops” “What did you expect, yellow spandex?” The best example I could find was a movie poster of X-Men III…in Polish. “Wolverine” in the first X-Men movie when “Wolverine” questioned the leather outfits the X-Men wore- Sorry guys. What always comes to mind for me in this regard is the line James Marsden a.k.a. That is, it ain’t that hard if you have talent, imagination and a genuine love for the original product. It’s supposed to be what friggin’ Hollywood does. Making an outrageous comic book come to life ain’t that hard folks. On the other hand, I grew up on comic books and love them enough to know when a comic-based-movie is satisfyingly loyal, and when the idiots in Hollywood betray the comic faithful with too much “reality” (how about that-Hollyweird worried about “reality”). On the one hand, I can’t really call myself an “aficionado”. ![]()
