Forums - General Discussion - Comics and Games done right in cinema

There are very few comics and games that have been made into decent movies. Post a pic of one that you think was done right.

Also, I'm fucking furious about OLD Marky Mark playing Drake, sigh.....Hollywood just leave it alone.

Best superhero movie made imo...marvel should give every movie to Jon Fareau

I'll avoid pics, as there is a lengthy list of comic book movies done right now. Off the top of my head:

Iron Man, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Superman: The Movie, Superman 2, The Rocketeer, Hellboy, Batman, Sin City, Dick Tracy, V for Vendetta, From Hell, Road to Perdition, and X-Men.

Not all are great movies but they all do a solid job of translating to another medium while staying true to the characters.

Watchmen is intentionally left off the list for Snyder's use of that soundtrack.

i didn't like Iron Man myself, i'm i retarded? , i found it not so much comic-ish.



It cut a lot out, but:




300 (over rated but good)

Actually on second thought that movie lanched Gerard Butler's career so it should be burned.

300 and Sin City



Sin City's probably the best example. That movie literally is the comics in video form.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

The Dark Knight, Superman Returns, 300, Iron man, Vfor Vendetta, and Hellboy have been the only ones done right.

X-men is boring as hell, the spiderman's (except the first) have lame villains and plotlines. Even then, the first one has so much bad acting in it that it's hard for me to watch. ANd yeah, I didn't like Sin City. But my opinion don't matter about that.. It's getting a sequel anyway.

 

Edit:

As for videogames, I would say that Street Fighter is the best one (oh yes, I just said that) Because even though it's bad, it's so bad that it's watchable.
