Have all of you been noticing a trend in recent movies like Superman, Batman and Ninja Turtles? It seems like movie makers have been able to re-write history (so to speak) for the better.
Let me explain. Will start off with the movie “Superman Returns“. They basically told everybody “Just forget about all the Superman movies after Superman 2 because they all suck. We are redoing Superman 3. As a result they were able to create a story line that is much more accurate to the comic books of Superman. This has made fans so much more happy with the Superman movie franchise.
Now lets look at Batman. Now back in the late 80’s Tim Burton directed the first and second Batman movies. I happen to really enjoy these movies. Tim Burton does great work and the image of Batman as this dark knight I feel was shown very well. But if you are a Batman fan you can tell from this first batman movie with Michael Keaton, that Tim Burton never once has picked up and read a Batman comic book. But a few years ago they come out with “Batman Begins” Which basically starts all the way over making a much more accurate story that the fans loved.
Lastly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This movie has pretty much pulled a superman saying to just forget the 3rd movie, we are redoing it.
I think this kind of a change in movies is a good one. It feels like they are saying that studios can’t always tell film makers or the movie viewing public what they want to see. To many of us know the story line . Too many of us will not settle for anything less then the already existing story line. The correct story line if you will.
