i would have to say the x-men.
why?:
- bryan singer
-famkee
-mckellen
-cumming
-hugh underrated as hell jackman
-p. stweart
-uncle jesse's wife
more characters that are badass..and not just focusing one one(i.e. blade, punisher, hulk)
-no stupid pop songs..by pseudo-rock-angst bands(i.e. spider man"hero")
-other
what could possibly be a better comic book series turned into films than this..?.....
if there is already a topic/thread on this..please insult me then redirect me
thanks...
I was actually watching X2 yesterday again because I bought the DVD and was thinking the same thing... they did a great job not only adapting the comic but also making a sequel... and I think they'll do a good job again on the 3rd one...
SpiderMan was very good also...
Hulk sucked
does American Splendor count? if so, then that.
if not, then X-Men.
x2 is the best film and most seem to agree
spiderman was entertaining but did not match x2 in quality
Hulk had potential but the 3rd act completley blew donkey balls
I really want to see Hellboy though
x3 better have gambit

I didnt like American Splendor :oops:
ping pong and blue spring.

WHAT?! :shock:
American Splendor was too cute; it played down the guy's anger and just made him neurotic in a Woody Allen-esque way. It even gave him a struggle against cancer and an adopted daughter to cap it all off. It watered him down the same way Letterman or MTV did, just to a lesser extent.
anyway, Ghost World and HULK.
and in the future.. RanXerox.

Right, he's surprised because it's a really good movie.
Anyway, the WORST film from a comic book is Howard the Duck.
You all should check Blueberry

Judge Dredd was terrible...

Have you ever seen Dolph Lungren's 'The Punisher' or 'Captain America?'
They not only take the cake, they run off and marry it.
i wanna add ghost world to my list.
and maybe, just maybe Hellboy is somewhere in between best and worst.
I've had the pleasure of seeing the 1994 film, Fantastic Four. Cinematic brilliance. Plain and simple.

i have, and you're right.
I gotta agree w/ Wizard magazine (man, that used to be my bible back in the day) and the others who say 'X2'. It quite possibly could be the most spectacularly geeky movie ever made-- in all the right ways. I really need to see that again (NIGHTCRAWLER!).
It's shame Singer wasn't given more support on the first 'X-Men' movie, who knows what could have been done there (Fox dicks around with Singer on the first X-Men, dicks around with Mark Steven Johnson on Daredevil... see a pattern forming here?).

Howard the duck is an amazing film, it's why Lucas is my favorite director by far.
...kidding...

No you're NOT.
Howard the Duck doesn't hold a candle to Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.
X2 is fun, but it's hardly the BEST
Superman wins
followed by Ghostworld
Quote from: BankyHulk had potential but the 3rd act completley blew donkey balls
The third "act" was the best part. Have anything against sensational helicopter smashing?
American Splendor
was too cute. The opposite of Hulk... I expected a lot and pretty much hated it.
i dont know if its the best adapting or most faithful, but my personal favorites are Batman and Batman Returns. followed by Superman.

Has anyone of you seen Monkeybone? If yes, what did you think of it?
Quote from: mollyIf yes, what did you think of it?
shite.
Quote from: mollyHas anyone of you seen Monkeybone? If yes, what did you think of it?
Definitely one of, if not
the worst movie made in the last ten years. I'm finding it very hard to remember a movie I hated more than that one.
monkeybone is very terrible. i feel bad for henry selick.
Ghost World. I wanted to see American Splendor because Crumb does the drawing in the film. Is it out on DVD yet?
Quote from: Dottie_HinkleIs it out on DVD yet?
Of course.
