I'm pretty sure Raimi's smart enough to realize that the Hercules and Xena formula won't cut it in this day and age of Battlestar Galactica. That said, I've not read any of The Sword of the Truth books. Would you people recommend them as good fantasy literature?

:D Oh yeah! I'm all for it!

I'm sorry... I must disagree with you there. If we were to follow your logic, then you're telling me that the brilliant Shakespeare in Love (1998 Best Picture) did not deserve to win? Or that The Fellowship of the Ring (a film which I love dearly) had it over A Beautiful Mind(a film I grudgingly...

:confused: Okay, I'm totally up for Depp winning it after being so impressed with him in Sweeney Todd, but I'm quite surprised to see Aragorn himself up there as well. And yes, I've seen Eastern Promises, and I liked it. I thought Viggo was very good too (despite the nude fight scene and all...

:confused: DAMN... It's really saddening when a promising young actor bites the big one. I was really starting to warm to Heath after his performances in Brokeback Mountain and The Brother's Grimm. I was quite looking forward to his appearance as the Joker in The Dark Knight. RIP Heath. You...

I shall contribute to this here thread (WARNING! SPOILERS BE AHEAD): Books The Lord of the Rings - Sure the good guys won in the end, but the world has changed, and not for the better. And some wounds can't be mended by time, leading to farewells. Still the most bittersweet ending to a book...

I have the issue that featured this list in question, so allow me to make some comments on the selections: - The reason they included Clone Wars was because they didn't want Return of the Jedi anywhere on the list, as they think it was the weakest of the Original Trilogy. And to this I must...

Gametrailers has some pretty good video reviews. And you actually get to see the games in action, which for me is a big plus.

But Lone Wolf and Cub was never in danger of ending prematurely, it's a 30 year old manga that ended in 1976 with volume 28. Berserk however, is still ongoing, and there's fear that it may be discontinued should creator Kentaro Miura suffer some kind of creative burnout (not saying that he is...

:roll eyes: And Jason Statham wonders why he isn't a bigger action star in the US... How could he be, when he stars in crap such as this.

Indeed it is. :) I was one of those, as were many who wrote off Berserk as a "Fist of the North Star with swords" deal. How little I knew then. So happy to be proven wrong on that account. :D

I think anyone here at Enworld who's had some small interest in fantasy or anime has at one time encountered Kentaro Miura's Berserk. I also think most of you will agree that the series is one of the best illustrated and well written fantasy stories in the market today (although not for the...

Quesada always backpedals whenever one of his brilliant ideas for Spider-Man are rejected by the fans. He thought Sins Past was a great story right until longtime Spidey fans cried foul and objected to Gwen Stacy being portrayed as a ho. He also patted himself in the back when The Other became...

:) I take no credit for the post below, which I found in the doctorwhoforum. But I thought it an appropriate response to this: :lol:

If she's a Skrull, then I'm not reading another Spidey book ever again. :mad: As for my feelings on this attempt to make Spidey relatable to young audiences once again, I'll sum it up in 3 words : I HATE IT. Sure, Spider-Man's youth and inexperience made him resonate with young readers, but...

Hrm. Well, just watched this. And my reaction to it is a bit... meh. I'll start off with the negatives first. While Russell T. Davies can occasionally pen a dramatic and witty script, he often frames said scripts with some of the most half assed scifi concepts I've ever seen (for the record, I...

Good lord. I never realized how much of a bomb The Golden Compass was until now. Only $48 million in 3 weeks? Ouch. And why the hell did National Treasure 2 debut at number 1, while Sweeney Todd debut only at 5? Sacrilege I say! :\

I really liked the first Hellboy, and I have high hopes for this sequel. I only hope Del Toro incorporates some of the dark imagery he used to great effect in Pan's Labyrinth. Oh, and I do hope he gets his other projects off the ground. Specifically the new Tarzan film he's planning to direct...

The Hobbit was orginally written for Tolkien's children, so I don't think he rewrote it to fit a young audience's taste. He only rewrote some chapters (specifically the chapter "Riddles in the Dark") in later editions so that there'd be some plot continuity with the sequel. The sequel being of...

It's easy to accept an elderly Ian Mckellen kicking ass as Gandalf because of the nature of the character. Think about it, the guy's a 4,000 year old wizard who can go toe to toe with trolls and fire demons, all the while looking the part of a decrepit old geezer. A huge suspension of disbelief...
