Movies move forward!

Two of my new "visually pleasing" movies to watch endlessly are 300 and Sin City. Both are masterpieces to watch (I understand they aren't every one's cup of tea). I'm glad directors are pushing the limits of their craft and creating new ways to make movies. I don't care if they aren't shot in real locations or not, in the end both movies have created a unique universe. I'm sure both movies also were cheap to do this way. It's also cool that both are adaptations of Frank Miller's comic books!

In a way it validates a new way of movie making, or at least reinventing a way of making great movies. I recently saw X Men3, what a piece of shit. Just like Fantastic Four how do you make these well known movies WITHOUT their main villains. For X Men Sentinels and for FF Galactius, I know he was in FF2 but as a big stupid CLOUD! WTF! If these directors had taken a lesson from 300 or Sin City they could have created these Icon villains right and pumped up the fan base. Just because they stick a favorite comic book franchise on a movie, it doesn't mean I'm going to pay good money to see it. A cloud!WOW! I would have gone and seen X Men3 if they had fought the Sentinels, it would have been cool and with what's going on in America very, very timely. I don't even want to mention they killed of two main characters ( nobody really dies in movies) X Men3 was a mess. I still can't talk about FF. I hope directors get more innovative with their projects and I pray that 300 and Sin City bring a new direction to the medium!
