I must admit that the realization of these things is getting very impressive. As to wanting to watch them, well, not sure so far. I might get Doctor Strange on disc, simply because of being fond of the character since Ditko. The Valerian film, the comic version of which I have been very fond of over the decades, is very well done visually, however, to me the on-screen personas of Valerian and Laureline don't carry over in the spirit of those in the strip. What do you think Terry?.
Well I review the Cinebooks Valerian but the movie is banned from CBO because they sent me the promotional video trailer and a month later hit me with a copyright claim which is why the trailer vanished here. Anything from that film company has a life long ban . And I don't go to the cinema and no DVD player makes my viewing limited. So no idea how the movie worked out and will certainly not be buying it on DVD.
In that case, I suspect that I will not be buying it either. Not just because the depictions of the characters seemed off, but if they tried that with you my old friend then most certainly I will not be buying it! A pity, as I have, for years, been looking forward to a well made film of Valerian, but I won't pollute the comics timeline with these two as the characters. I will try to obtain Dr Strange however.
