If the early reports are true it seems that the writers and producers of the movie are going their own way with this movie.

They are taking a brand name and attaching their own military movie to it.

The most successful adaptations are the ones that stick close to the source material. ie Spiderman, Batman Begins, and Ironman.

When they go their own way you get Catwoman, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

You'd think it'd be a simple lesson to learn.
