[QUOTE="dreaded_beast, post: 820601, member: 11185"] i loved both the comic and trailer i can understand that for movies that are adapted from books and comics, there may be some changes made to make the general story more accessable or understandable to a wider audience i know there are going to be people who will always complain and moan about a movie not being exactly like the book (X-men anyone?), but in the case of LXG, i think changes had to be made. for instance, in this day and age, i can pretty much assume many people in my age bracket, (mid 20's) have no idea who quartermain is, the real captain nemo instead of the Disney one, mina from the dracula novel, etc. hell, i didn't even really know who quartermain was until i read the LXG comic. i've heard the name Dorian Gray, but that is probably because of that old 80's movie, The Eyes of Dorian Gray. whois dorian gray anyways? a sad but true fact is that comic books are not as mainstream as we like to think. many people may not realize that the LXG movie is not the same as the LXG comic book. i know there are some people out there who are "purists" that would prefer such movies not be made in the first place if the movie will not stay true to the story. i disagree, since i am usually happy to see the movie on the big screen and see how it would be interpreted, along with what actors were chosen to play what roles. except for cases where the movie was just god-awful (dungeons and dragons anyone?)
