Best comic book to movie

[on:]

To hard, so i'll let you decide.
My favourite would probably be one of the x-men movies or the Hulk
The only one of these i have'nt seen is Daredevil.

Where's "Spawn"?


EDIT: And technically, "The Matrix" and its sequels were gonna originally be made into a comic book until the Wachowskis decided to make them into movies.

Or Blade?

[Reply #3 on:]

doh! knew I'd missed one. We need a poll with more selections....

[Reply #4 on:]

Blade, what was i thinking and i just borrowed it from the video store, there are alot i missed but i just choose the most popular and well known. Someone could make another thread with different choices if they want.

[Reply #5 on:]

Probably Blade, and X-Men. Spiderman is a mebe.

Although dont forget stuff like Batman, Spiderman, Dick Tracey (ugh), The Shadow, Spawn, The Phatom, errr... there's way more, but I'm all out for now.

[Reply #6 on:]

Out of that list, the only comics I read were X-men.

[Reply #7 on:]

I'll go with Spiderman, the movie rules, just like the ride does too. I can't wait for the second movie too. Blade was also a really clool movie

I go for Batman, and that's only because the Tim Burton original is the best ever comic book transfer. Ever. The sequels were rubbish though...

[Reply #9 on:]

Tim Burtons Batman
Spiderman
X Men
I know this is kind of obscure, but Sam (American Beauty) Mendes' truely excellent film The Road to Perdition, is strangly enough based on a comic book!
And when I see it in a few weeks, i'll probably include The Hulk on this list, it looks excellent.

Spiderman comes the closest to bringing the magic of the comic to the big screen while still being entertaining.

Superman II comes next, mostly because of Terrence Stamp chewing up the scenery left and right.

[Reply #11 on:]

Nah nah nah nah Batman!
I think there was no need to include Sequels in this poll, because the films never used a particular story from one of the comic books.

[Reply #12 on:]

What about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?  God bless Dark Horse Comics.

[Reply #13 on:]

Oh I forgot about The Mask! great film.

[Reply #14 on:]

No love for Superman, huh? It must be that pimp he meets when he's going to save Lois from that helicopter. "Say, Jim! Wooo! That's a bad...out...fit!"

[Reply #15 on:]

Where's Mystery Men, huh? Man, you could have used Superman 2 for something else... But I love you nonetheless.

[Reply #16 on:]

Mstery Men you're not serious are you If someone was to make a worst comic book movies i'm sure that would be the top contender......

[Reply #17 on:]

What about Monkeybone? That was based on a graphic novel, you know.

...but really, I vote Ghost World.

[Reply #18 on:]

No, you didn't! I did. Is that the movie with Steve Buscemi?

[Reply #19 on:]

yes...it was good, but I'll vote x-men because its the best out of the marvel comics.

If you would have used those periods in the last part of the post in your post, then maybe it would have made sense, and I could have made a comeback  Asshat.

What? Mystery Men ruled!

The Shoveler: We're not your classic heros. We're the other guys.

[Reply #24 on:]

What about From Hell?  or Road To Perdition?

Ah, doesn't matter.  I'm still voting Ghost World. 

[Reply #25 on:]

I'm glad that somebody else has mentioned Road To Perdition, what an excellent film! Horribly overlooked at the Oscars!

[Reply #26 on:]

Blade.
Judge dredd was wasted!

[Reply #27 on:]

Yeah Judge Dread was quite bad. Blade was alot of fun, dark, graphic, and very entertaining.

[Reply #28 on:]

Judge Dredd could have been much better. I like the LawGiver though.

[Reply #29 on:]

Blade and Blade 2 are probably some of my favourite but i forgot to add them

The oscars are highly overrated they nominate films according to their popularity for example Spiderman nominated for best special effects over Minority Report, Blade 2 and Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. Which are all highly superior in the special effects department.

[Reply #31 on:]

ShineFusion: I hear that. But maybe special effects houses can only submit one film? Industrial Light & Magic did both Minority Report and Harry Potter, but Attack of the Clones got the sfx nomination.

I'm just throwing out suggestions...I really know nothing about the nomination process.

[Reply #32 on:]

I don't either, it just seems stupid that whoever it was chose Spiderman.

Yeah!.  The Shoveler: Now do we save the world... or do I eat this sandwich? 
(not the exact quote, but you get the idea.)  I just wish they had involved Flaming Carrot...

[Reply #35 on:]

The Flaming Carrot scares me in many ways...

[Reply #36 on:]

Definantly X-men 1 and 2, since I never read the comics I can't say I was a stickler for the details and stuff left out, as long as Rogue remained hot and southern I was happy, but the movies were refreshingly sweet.

Also Mystery Men is a notable exception, that movie was great, they always reminded me of something cooked up by 'What The..?!' comics.

[Reply #37 on:]

I would say batman cause I really liked the movie... but it's not like the comic book at all!

Although Spiderman was nominated, i'm sure it didn't win, the Oscar went to The Two Towers, good choice, though I think Episode 2 SHOULD have won.

[Reply #39 on:]

Nah the Two Towers was the most deserving just look at Gollum
