No, dear, use your brain, the movie portrayed the revolutionaries having nothing to do with Rasputin. If they had shown something like a meeting of Rasputing with them, then I would agree, but that wasn't it at all. All that happened was a minion unlocked the gate.

227
Reminds me of the goofs in Apollo 13.

I don't think it's quite fair to compare 97 to 56. 56 was based on a play by Marcel Maurrette, as I stated before, which had nothing to do about the real Anastasia OR Anna Anderson. Meanwhile, 97 was a fairy tale inspired by the play, I suppose you could say.

I'm off now! See you all Monday!

I'm a member of the National Library for the Blind, and they had Massie's book The Romanovs, The Final Chapter, available.

:D As I recall that was his first role EVER! Now look where he's at!

I loved him in Newsies!

231
Absolutely! I actually thought he would be a great choice since I first saw him as Young Arthur in The Mists of Avalon!

232
I stand corrected!

I was talking about this thread to my dear friend Marsha, who is a skating fan (and has seen Hellboy).

She said:

Marsha: lol, Michelle has landed a triple axel in practice when she was 13
Marsha: it's on a tape somewhere.  
Marsha: but that was long time ago, she trained the triple axel when she was 15-16 and it threw off the timing of her double axel really badly. 97' season she missed that jump often if I remember correctly.  
Marsha: but I doubt that she has even thought about a 3a in 5 years.

My thanks to her for pointing that out to me.

Thanks Brendan!

Yeah, TMNT 3 was when they went back in time to feudal Japan.

Thanks for the links! I have heard there is going to be another Fantastic Four movie... I heard or saw something like that somewhere, did you hear about it?

234
I loved X-2, I can't wait for the third one next summer! Ian McKellen plays a magnificent Magneto.

I do like the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, haha. I also liked the third one, not sure why LOL.

Superman, awesome film. Awesome music, too. I have the main theme on John Williams' Greatest Hits 1969-99 2-CD album.

Did you like Masters of the Universe? I thought it was well done, but don't know how accurate it is to the comics. Frank Langella was an awesome Skeletor!

Thanks for the info on Spidey! I look forward to seeing the third film when it comes out. Willem DaFoe was such an excellent Green Goblin it's hard to imagine him as anything else!

Oh Road To Perdition was such an excellent film. I have the Oscar-nominated score by Thomas Newman. Jude Law was an excellent villain.

I haven't seen LoEG yet! I keep meaning to but I never get the chance! But Sean Connery is an excellent actor.

I remember the Fantastic Four cartoon series, but never saw the movie, which I am thankful for based on your opinion! :)

Great to chat with you,

When I did a search for Michelle Kwan on amazon.com I found an item that had nothing to do with skating, yet this was written:

"Her head turned faster than Michelle Kwan doing a triple axle."

Now THAT'S lible if I ever saw it. First off the idiot spelled Axel wrong, and second, Kwan has never in her life even ATTEMPTED the dangerous and rare jump. But I didn't go to Goldensksate complaining about it...

However, I did complain about seeing a fashion magazine calling Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner Olympic Gold Medalists, when they never even COMPETED at the Olympics. They were there, but Randy got hurt in practice just before their skate. Most people agreed with me that I did have something to complain about, however there were some who felt the same way I feel about this.

Wow you definitely know your comics Brendan. Tell me, was the original Batman comics' Joker the way he is portrayed in the film with Michael Keaton?

What in your opinion is the most accurate comic book movie made to date?

And what is the best?

I can't make any analysis on accuracy, but the best I have seen is the Spiderman franchise. Even though yes, they change things from the original comics (including letting Mary Jane live... she did die in the original comics right?) it is still an excellent movie series, and they stay true to comic book-cinematography. Every frame shot, at least in the first film, was shot to look like it was from a comic book.

I would say the worst adaptation of a comic would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They took a very serious series and made it funny... some fans think that's a cardinal sin, do you?

Oh believe me the terrible effects in Hulk are legendary :( and this from the man who gave us Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... Tsk tsk.

What do you think of Blade? I really liked that movie, but was not a fan of Blade II. But is it accurate to the comic books?

Drew Barrymore's character in Scream was 17, and in real life she was 20-something.

I suggest going to this link:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167190/board/flat/12111134

You'll find all kinds of talks about it there.

I know nothing about the comics, but why is it such a big deal that they took someone from history and used artistic liscence to make him into a villain in a FANTASY SCI FI COMIC BOOK FILM? If this was actually AIMING to be accurate, then I would say Yes you have reason to be upset. But this has nothing to do with history! Why not take it one step further: Hellboy's whole existence is because of the NAZIS, where's the evidence that says they were or were not involved in the occult? Also, X-Men, in the film at least, Professor X and Magneto both discover their powers at a concentration camp and save everyone from death. Where's the huge outcry about that?

Just go to IMDB and talk about it there with the people who know the comics, and see where you stand yourselves.

Is Hellboy part of the Marvel franchise?

239
Well upon chatting with some fans of the comics at IMDB, there is a lot of small details that have been changed from the comics. The only character that is true to the comics is Hellboy, and the only character made better by the movie was Kroena??? can't recall the actual name. Anyway, the comics' character of Rasputin is the same as it is in the movie, except in the movie he has a "fashion sense" according to one fan.

Is it really that bad versus the comic books it is based on?

(If you don't know the comics, you shouldn't judge the movie)
