Avatar the Last Airbender *EYE TWITCH*, the movie is almost entirely exposition.
The cartoon was amazing. I really don't know how they messed it up that badly... I went with my sister and my little nephew and I just couldn't contain my geek rage. My sister was like o.o. She didn't even know there was a cartoon. So I bought my nephew it on DVD, 9/10 critics agree that I'm the best Auntie ever.
Also the Superman film....I just....words failed me.
I don't talk during the movie though that's just rude.
edit: err did the Escapist always have a spell check? :/

usually if I saw the source material and am going with friends, they saw it too, and want to talk about it. So I dont do it with random strangers or people who havent seen the source material. I'll at most say "it lived up to/wasnt as good as the source material, but you should check out both and take my opinion with a grain of salt"/
Really the only time i was adamant about something was the Last Airbender movie, just cause it sucked. I mean, I knew it was going to, cause even thoguh they focused on one season, there was still going to be a lot of the charm missing from the little things that the show had in it. Still...

Yup I'm like that for most films base from a comic book, shows and novel but I do let it slide like Scott Pilgrim Vs the World (wait the ending is different but at least the setting was correct) and recently X-Men: First Class (wait if Scott is young during this film, how can Havok be that much older? Owell Havok is awesome!).
The best time I was nibpicking was Wolverine Origin (WTH did they do to Deadpool???) and Eragon (way too many to pick out).

Kind of... when I went to see Punisher: War Zone. I knew it wasn't going to be good or anything, but that movie seemed like it was made by someone who had a beef with Punisher fans and the comics. It could have been the director just standing there flipping you off with both hands while taking a dump on a stack of comics for two hours, and I would have been less perplexed.
I love Darren Shans books and from how bad I heard the film was I avoided it. The changes i've been told sound terrible though, how could they be so stupid?Count Igor said:
I used to do it with Lord of the RIngs, when my smart ass friend would taunt me for not seeing the films as soon as he had. To shut the fucker up, I told him exactly what will happen in Return of the King.
I would also like to talk about one ************ at my cinema. It seems that during a particularly attrocious advert for Orange phones (the one that involved the characters from Rio) this joker decided to laugh at one of the worst jokes in the world (when the parrot says "I'm orange, aren't I?"). He was the only person in a full cinema that did so. Everyone else was dead silent.
Cue everybody in the cinema laughing their ass off at that retard. It was the best moment ever.

He was a pedo wasn't he? They found all those pictures he took of them in the basement.SammiYin said:
I god, i am allways "That Guy".
Remember "There will be Brawl"? I watched that with a friend and kept pausing it every two seconds to explain the in-joke things. I kept telling myself not to, but kept going.

I was that person for Legend of the Seeker.
Keeping in mind that it is a transference of core book ideals to a different media...It's still a piece of horseshit, and I'd love to slap the shit out of Sam Raimi for what he did to one of my fav book series'

I thought this was going to be a topic about the assholes who leave their cell phones on, constantly get up and down throughout the movie, constantly kick the back of your seat, and/or talk loudly to whoever is with them.
I was really looking forward to asking people who say yes... what the hell, man?
Anywho... have I ever been "that guy" as defined by the topic? A few times. I remember raging a bit to my friends about all the things wrong with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Like... why did Arnie look for the pickup truck's keys under the visor? John taught that to a completely different robot which just happened to look the same).
I've also raged a few times about movie adaptations of video games, like Silent Hill, Max Payne, and the Resident Evil series.

Yeah, I've been that guy to the two X-Men movies everyone is now vehemently trying to deny exist, and Spider-Man 3.
Other than that? Not particularly.

Reading it/seeing it one way and then afterwards seeing it a different way doesn't automatically make me declare the second way is "wrong", even if the first way was the original format.
I tend to view creative differences between formats in a sort of "Did it make it better or worse" type of angle. If the adaption made a scene or character less effective than it otherwise might have been (leaving out vital details, etc), I'll make a comment after the movie. Never during. Some movies I refuse to see simply because I hear via word of mouth that it was horribly unfaithful to the source material in a bad way (The Last Airbender, for one already mentioned).

I haven't just been that guy... I AM THAT GUY!!!. Though I do make exceptions when it makes sense to ditch it during adaptation to the movie (I didn't complain about the ending from Watchmen and was actually glad they didn't go the way they did in the comic as I don't think it would have worked outside the realm of a comic book and it also required a good amount of backstory which was covered in the novel but would be too long and distracting in the movie) however when they make major changes that just screw up the story or characters.... you bet.
Only once that I can remember.
Watched Wolverine: Origins with an old friend of mine and it was baffling how little it took from the actual origins of Wolverine. I'm by no means an expert, but I've read enough X-men comics to know that the movie was pretty much all bullshit.

Yeah, the origin story is mostly glanced past in like the opening credits and then its well... just his weapon X days... Not much of an origin there. Actually most of the interesting stuff happened in the credit sequence. I'm like "Why can't I be watching that movie?".DanielBrown said:
To answer and respond to your comments and questions:Tuesday Night Fever said:
1)If I did it about the people who talk one their cells, kick the seat, talk outloud, etc.,etc. Someone will be lured into a flame war and some one will be banned, I'd rather not have that going on
2)it's possible that future JC programmed this Terminator to mimic the one he remembered as a child(for sentimental reasons) and he could have programmed some tips and tricks that the old T-1k knew that that the new one doesn't.
3)I can understand Silent Hill and Max Payne but I think that the Resident Evil movies are pretty good(but I was disappointed about the new where it's apparently Jill Valentine leading the zombies, no one likes Jill! Give us Leon Keenedy he kicked ass!). I think the best way to make a videogame movie is to keep the setting and themes and just build from there.
