They don't have to be VERY accurate for my taste but I don't like pointless or stupid changes. If you need to change something so the film will make sense or whatever, that's fine. The issue I have issue I have is when someone called the Mandarin is white or when Heimdall who is a Norse God is black all for the sake of iunno, Marvel pretending they have some racial diversity in their books. Or when Spider-Man gets organic webbing although a human wouldn't have the proper spider parts to spin webs, which is probably the reason he had web-shooters to begin with. Or when they put Darwin, in first class and kill him before the end..and then make Angel, the only other black character in the film switch sides. Or when they take an incredibly well proportioned female like Emma Frost, and have scrawny ass, flat-chested January Jones play her. Stuff like that bothers me because it doesn't HAVE TO happen.

That was actually pretty genius. Comic movies often try to make the material more practical and its kind of silly to think that a teenager could create this super tensile substance and not use it to get super rich.
IMO they don't have to be extremely accurate, as long as the movie is good and the changes aren't too radical I could care less. Its just a movie.
@vance_astro: I agree they should be a lot more accurate than they are, but if they had to follow the anatomy of either gender in the way they are displayed in the comics there would be an extremely limited number of actors and actresses that could be used.

I'm not asking for them to follow the likeness to a T as far as "anatomy" but if someone is going to play Emma Frost...can we at least get someone who isn't an A-cup?

IIRC he didn't create the super tensile substance it was already made he just altered it for his own use. Also i'll take teenage super-genius over possibly physical limitations as far what I find more practical any day.
@vance_astro:Not the Amazing Spider-Man movie specifically, I just mean in general. If the Raimi movies had him create webbing, everyone would be like "hey, why doesn't he just sell that sh*t to the military or something"....you get what I mean??

I like them to be accurate, but I don't have a problem with change as long as it's done right. Change in films like The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers = Good. Change in films like Fantastic Four and Hulk = Bad.
I don't think they should be completely accurate to the comic books. A lack of variety leads to a boring and stale movie. Small changes can actually be nice sometimes, but big, huge, ridiculous changes are definitely no good.

I don't really care how accurate a movie is, I just want to be entertained, and if it's a movie I want a sequel of then they need to do whatever possible to ensure that. If I wanted to read the comic, I'd do that.
