Heads up comic fans: Green Lantern opens in theaters today, and whether you're catching the flick this weekend because you're a fan of the comic books, or just a fan of Ryan Reynold's abs (we don't blame you), fact is, there are a few other green-faced characters we love; Some of which we can't wait to see hit the big screen again soon!
As more and more films are being adapted from popular comic books, it seems every week there's a new superhero gracing the silver screen. X-Men: First Class opens in theaters today, and while BuzzSugar says it helps to revitalize the franchise, there are other comic book adaptations that you love as well. Check out this list of your top picks, and if you don't see your favorites there, share them with us in the comments!
Recently The LA Times ran a piece that analyzes the bumpy road it's been to bring the latest Marvel comic book hero, The Incredible Hulk, to the big screen.
First and foremost there's the question of "why?" Ang Lee's disappointing stab at it was out in theaters a mere five years ago. Fans feel burned by that adaptation and skepticism lingers that anyone can get it right.
More anxiety grew as the trailer was suspiciously delayed. Now that two trailers have been released it seems fans are feeling better about the film. Then again, behind-the-scenes rumors persist that the movie's star Edward Norton isn't thrilled with some of Marvel's choices. And while the trailers definitely look more action-packed than Ang Lee's movie, those CGI monsters running at each other in the end still strike me as a bit silly.
When all is said and done, I'm wondering if the good buzz will triumph over the bad in time for audiences to get on board by June 13. What do you think is the biggest hurdle the filmmakers are facing in getting people to see their movie? Do you have high hopes for The Incredible Hulk, or not so much?
