Comic Movie Adaptations.

[Shaun]

With a huuuuge number of comic-book heroes being thrown at the big screen now (there are productions of Thor and the Avengers in the pipeline, as well as countless others I'm sure), which are your favourites?

And don't be silly and say Catwoman.

[King Gizzard]

Batman Begins was brilliant

And I loved all the X-men

and of course Kick-ass (which was a comic i'm led to believe)

[Shaun]

Yeah it was. *Remembers to click other*

I'll always love the first Superman movie. Christopher Reeve in the lead, Gene Hackman, a great rousing score by Williams, and don't forget how Donner created such a contrast between the comic book world of Metropolis and the quaint, all American, nostalgic upbringing of his youth. Oh, and then the opening with Brando on Krypton. It's just a great three piece story.

[King Gizzard]

Didn't know V for Vendetta was a comic

loved that film had to spend about 2 months studying it for my individual assignment in media (which doesnt bode well that I didn't know its origins)

[Shaun]

I'm a fan of the darker ones...Watchmen gives me a hard-on.

[setanta]

And I loved Darkman, even though it's not an original comic book - Sam Raimi wrote it - but it still has that comic feel and tone to it. It's really over-the-top and fast moving.

[setanta]

And if you want a dark comic book adaptation then The Crow is the one for you.

[Tom4784]

I'd say X-men but the third film tainted the series really I'll go for Batman. I've still haven't managed to watch Kick Ass yet.

[Tom4784]

Oh I fail, didn't realise this was a multi-poll.

[Jessica.]

X Men is definitely my favourite :D

[ButterflyGirl]

Blade ,Hellboy, MIB and Spiderman they're all good.

[GhettoSuperstar]

Good poll.

I love all the Spiderman films - especially 3 and the Dark Knight is ace.

[Enid]

Besides Batman (I thought The Dark Knight was far-fetched nonsense, Batman Returns FTW), I hate all the other comic superhero movies. They're just cheesy.

Ghost World is my favourite comic adaptation.

Edit - Oh and 300.

We usually agree on everything but Supergirl above Sin City? :shocked:

*takes a block of soap to your brain*

:laugh:

[Ramsay]

Kick Ass!

[Shaun]

V For Vendetta, Sin City - awful?! GET OUT.

[Braden]

Men In Black and Spiderman were fantastic movies

Ah, A History of Violence. I knew there was one I was forgetting. But can't say I agre with you on some of your decisions. Daredevil ok and Dark Knight meh? You should watch the second Hellboy film. Classy stuff.

[Harry!]

Dick Tracy - A great film :)

Yeah, it looked pretty sweet from the trailer. Got to love everyone's favourite Tom Waits lookalike Ron Perlman.

I was watching Bram Stoker's Dracula the other day and I went, "jaysus, what age is fecking Perlman at this stage?!". They're the spit of each other.

Yeah, but Hellboy 2 really allowed the director to introduce his own visual flair to proceedings since he was a little more restricted during the first one, seeing as he had to adhere more to the original comic book design. He just goes all out in the second installment.
