Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings Chronicles of Beowulf

For anyone who knows me, they know I love movies, especially epic movies such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings(LOTR), and Pirates of the Caribbean(POTC).  I love these movies for their  story line and they were made with  passion,  at least the original Star Wars Trilogy was the new episodes suck.  Anyways since Harry Potter and LOTR came out and with the sucess of X-men and Spiderman, Film studios have started makeing movies about any story they can make sequels out of.  Taking hardly any time for quality, story, or flow.  For exaple Daredevil could have been a great story but lousy quality, chessey lines and Ben Afleck ruined that movie.  All the studio was looking to do was make a series of money making films and when Daredevil bomb they took the one good thing of that movie Jennifer Garners character Elektra and ruined it to with a cheesey,  poorly done spin-off.



No what got me going on this rant train is the movie Beowulf.  I have never read the book, which its actually just one long poem, so I have no idea of the story, but what I can tell you is it is a very important book to some people and i would have to see it raped into some kind of 2 hour mess just for the sake of makeing money and producing trilogies.  The only reason some genius producer even thought about Beowulf I bet is that it was well known that  J.R.R. Tolkien was a fan of the book.  So the studios hope that LOTR fans also read Beowulf and will now want to see it turn into a movie.  Lets hope they don't ruin it by change the story or adding action for the sake of making money.

And look at the movies coming out soon, Iron Man, Hitman, Nick Fury and talks of Wolverine and Silver Surfer spin-offs.  I am already a little confused on the Iron Man and Nick Fury movies.  Iron mans  is supposed to be black and he is played by Robert Downey Jr., since when was Iron Man a drug addict, and Nick Fury is supposed to be white, yet Samuel L Jackson is playing him.  What the fuck already the movie aint out but its already been raped into something it was not. 



And these studios really gotta stop making gmae movies.  Since they tried to make Super Mario Bros. into a game they should have known they were doomed(except for Resident Evil).....Oh that brings me to Doom the movie.  Doom was one of my favorite games growing up, it was just one of the first gorey and bloody games out there that hit it big.  So when they said hey were making a movie out of the game I was like cool.  The story of the game, and im sumerizing highly, is that scientists on Mars accidently open a portal to hell, or some Hell-like dimension and you are a exiled soldiers that has to kill them.  But in the movie its a virus that turn people into killing demons and a team of marines have to go kill them.  What was wrong  with the original story. It just pisses me off and now with Hitman, which is another one of my favorite games coming out, I worry they will turn it around into something it is not.



Im not saying that these movies are instant crap, but so far since movie like LOTR and Harry potter ahve cashed in on big money by makeing movie that have on-going story line and lead into multiple sequels the movie studios have began grasping at straws in hope of find the next big story that will capture the audiences.  but what they dont relize is that they are tredding on the hallowed ground.  These stories they are trying to make into blockbuster movies are childhood memories for most of us, stories that we grew up on. character that we have grown to love, and if they don't take the time and show passion for the story they are gonna keep turning out crap movie after crap movie.
