Comics and Books

Most of you would have read the post on Ironman by my friend, Arushi.

'Hollywood has a knack of making bad films out of good comics' she says.

I disagree with that as well as agree.The Spiderman,Batman and Xmen movies seem to have done a fairly decent and applicable job at convincing its audience that they're not another ludicrously loopy movie with brightly colored supernatural human beings running around the place yelling'I shall save the world with my Odd-Sonic Blaster Thing'.

Whereas when one watches movies like Hulk its an entirely different point.The only way one can comprehend the movie is if you can understand the Bam-Bam language in which the Incredible Hulk speaks in.Sure he's big and hairy like in the comic,but at that rate you might as well put the Mask with King Kong.

In the case of novels ,like the Harry Potter,Lord of the Rings and Narnia series you have breathtaking work ,along with breathtaking actors like Daniel,Ben and Elijah.

The newly released Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian is a much more appreciable movie compared to its predecessor.This time you would expect the movie to be shown on HBO instead of Disney Kids.The truculent battle scenes along with the exceptional Narnians and their king,Aslan,have attracted a much wider range of viewers.

The movie no longer shows the Pevensies as children who go dumb at the sight of talking beavers and moving trees,but teenagers who have begun to accept the facts of life.Also ,this movie has allot more humor in it,provided by Edmund,Susan and Mr.Rat.Little Lucy no longer goes ballistic about certain creatures like Mr.Tuminous and doesn't start crying at the drop of a hat.In fact Little Lucy isn't quite Little anymore,neither is Edmund.

During the last battle scene you see a variety of new Narnias like the cute yet lethal rats and kid centuars.The trees of narnia have also changed quite a bit.They are no longer the polite,sweet-scented selves but towering,rebellious,botanical beings.Their roots travel through the grounds and reach at the other end of the battle field only to demolish the colossal ammunitions of the Telmaranians and knock couple Telmaranian soldiers down.

Over all this movie is allot more impresive than the previous one.Watch it folks,it wont disappoint you.

Now that was the positive side of this post.Unlike Narnia,there are some movies that do not do justice to its book.They not only kill the book but rip it to bits and leave it to burn in disgrace that even the ashes aren't left.One such movie is about a boy called Eragon.

After watching the movie I have come to three conclusions.They are:-

1.The Director,Producer(s) and Scriptwriter(s) ought to apoligize to Christopher Paolini for the sorrowful bit of work that they made out of his marvelous book.
2.Edward Speleers is a hopeless actor.
3.if you want to live then I advice you to not go and watch the other installments.

Thats all from me for now,
