Читать книгу The Rise of Comic Book Movies - Benny Potter - Страница 16

2015, when I became editor for Comicstorian, I really started to read them and gain a lot more appreciation for comics, characters, origins, and more. Some of my favorites include the X-Men, The Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Teen Titans.

The X-Men movies were some of my favorite growing up and definitely made me more open to the world of superheroes and comic books. Going back to those X-Men movies now, though, I realize how incorrect some of the information was and how some of the movies seemed even better when I didn’t know all the details about the mutants.

That being said, many of the movies we’ve decided to review in this book came out before I became so enveloped in the superhero genre. Because of this, a lot of my movie tastes and opinions have been, maybe understandably, influenced by more recent movies, plots, and special effects, which have evolved drastically over the years. I did my best to watch each movie as though I was watching it around the time it came out and judge its set, action, and special effects accordingly.

While I may be fairly new when it comes to comics and the history of the characters, maybe like some of you, I’d encourage readers to get stuck in, read and watch as much as you can, and you’ll soon start learning about what you like.

For this book, I’ve enjoyed watching the live-action interpretations of comics and worked to deliver some thoughtful opinions on some fantastic superhero franchises that have existed over the years.
