I think that X-men 1 was very good. Although it messed with some of the original plot lines (and in Rogue's case a lot) it was well adapted for the movie. They obviously decided to go for the non-comic book/non-cartoonish version so they had to make some changes (like no yellow spandex outfits).

The story for X-Men was too muddled... I don't think it was the STORY that was, actually, just the editing. They could have kept the flavor of the comic book outfits very easily, though... Wolverine has sported a brown and black costume in the comics, which is much better than the yellow/blue/black combo he usually wears.

Easily but it's more believable this way. They weren't going for a comic bookish movie. Otherwise they could have had Rogue with her flaming red hair and white streaks and Wolverine with his insane horned-hair. They also could have done Cerebra (however you spell it) as just a little headset instead of that huge room.

guess what? some things look better when drawn as cartoons then in real life. get over it. who's seriously gonna wear yellow and blue super-tight spandex?

Um.. that's why I mentioned his comic book brown and black outfit, bucko!

But the rest of them had the yellow

The comic book versions had different colors... the ORIGINAL X-Men was black with a yellow stripe down the front, yellow boots, shorts and gloves. I really didn't mind the costumes in the movie, and Cyclops acknowledged the difference with a passing comment. My beef is the editing job. It was sloppy!

that's why i think the first batman was done well. they didn't try to make it seem these characters live in the real world. so everything was done very comic-book like.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ·

Agreed.... Remember how everyone was like "Michael Keaton as Batman??? It will never work!!!!" But he pulled it off!

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

and i think it worked because he didn't try to play it like a real person.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ·

True... the whole movie was over-the-top... BUT it was like "This is the Earth we live in and this is all normal in our world"
