Graphic Novels To Big Screen

So are you tired of seeing graphic novels on the big screen? We sure as heck are. Over the past few years studios have been pumping them out as fast as they could, and there just doesn't seem to be an end in sight.

Films like 300, Sin City, The Spirit, and soon to be released Watchmen are just a few that have been released. The problem here is all the movies are almost identical to one another. They're all filmed with a generic style, and in most cases are shot in a grey scale. There is nothing pleasant about watching these movies.

Yes we know the graphic novels were superb, in fact we enjoyed the novels for 300 and the Watchmen, but as movies they are not the same.


Because everyone has to be so P.C. in today's world the novels have been greatly edited for content. If they were to be filmed as they were wrote they would be given an NC17 rating, which would cause the studios producing them to lose money because there audience was limited.

Though in retrospect children should not be going to see R rated movies, especially those of 300 and Sin City. But that's a parental issue we will keep out of.

Even with numerous complaints being sent to the studios to stop making these movies it doesn't appear that there will be an end to this trend any time soon.

We however will be saving our money and avoiding anymore of these films. - GJ
