The marketing for this movie is amazing. Makes it feel real.

I admit that 40% of the books I read have either been announced as movie adaptations, or are already wrapped and soon to be released.

I figure if it's good enough to adapt, it's good enough to read the original source material.

I only read THE MARTIAN a couple of weeks ago, and I found myself smiling, laughing, gasping, and cheering for the hero as I would for a good movie.

Only thing I dislike and don't understand about this movie is the fact that for some reason they cast a Norwegian for the role of the German scientist. Why not, idk, cast a German actor?

Aside from that this movie looks good, and satisfyingly close to the book! :)

It looks like a good move but it has nothing to do with comic books.

@California Neither does Jurassic World, Star Trek, Ghostbusters, Mission Impossible, Fast and Furious, the Bourne movies, Transformers, The Hunger Games, Doctor Who, or Game of Thrones...but all of those have been covered extensively by this site. Hell, the last two aren't even MOVIES, let alone comic book movies.

My point? Just because the name of the site is ComicBookMovie.com, doesn't mean it only covers comic book movies, or comic book related stuff.

Though in this case, I believe having so many actors/actresses who have portrayed characters in CBMs is part of the reason why The Martian is being covered here. But again, the main focus of the site might be CBMs, but that's never stopped them from covering whatever they've wanted to. As it should be.

REVIEW:
"The Martian does Interstellar better than Interstellar did Interstellar!"

"...we tend to cover as much as we can as per the guidelines we are given. Think it's only beneficial to the site to cover as much as we can."

@KingPatel And that makes perfect sense! Heck, I didn't even have to read the "About Us" page to come to that conclusion. It's quite obvious. But yeah, those types of "Why are you covering this movie!" comments are definitely a pet peeve of mine too...and I don't even write for this site haha. I can only imagine how annoying that is for you editors.

@SauronsBANE All articles posted on the main are posted with utmost journalistic integrity and in no way conflict with the site's original purpose.

Meanwhile in the CBM.com editor's room...

This looks like a great. My Niners are getting the brains beat out of them. Steelers must be upset about last weeks lost.

book was so good. i was surprised at how funny it was. i literally cry-laughed several times. it's really tech-heavy, though. so, if that's not your thing, it may not be a book for you. they get VERY specific at times. but i enjoy that kind of stuff. fantastic read. if you haven't checked it out, do yourself a favor and read it. excellent book, and a pretty fast read. i finished it in a day, and had a hard time putting it down to do menial tasks like eating XD the movie has an outstanding cast,and looks to be very faithful to the novel. very much looking forward to this.
