I'll be honest, I thought this was gonna be an American Splendor thread.
I thought the Akira anime did a disservice to the much better manga series. Same goes for Nausicaa for similar reasons. Too much was cut out to condense the story to 2 hours.
American Splender would probably be my pick for best comic book movie. I never got around to Ghost World.

hmm.
Would it have killed you to wait till next Tuesday to make this thread Sculli?
Is that when Blue releases? We don't get it for a few weeks here.
Next Tuesday is the 5th of November...
Persepolis
American Splendor
Ghost World
In that order.
History of Violence gets an honorable mention (deviates a lot from the book, for the better), and Road to Perdition was disappointing.
V for Vendetta has a lovely adaptation of the prison sequence, but the rest of the movie is hot and miss and a poor adaptation of a good (but not great) book.
I can't think of any superhero stuff that comes close, and I love superheroes.
Blue? Incorrect.
Scott Pilgrim is the best, in terms of trying to keep the heart of a comic alive through the transition to a different form of media.
The attention to detail is incredible (soundtrack, sound effects, visuals, etc) and deserves more credit than it gets.
This was a fun movie.
Best comic book movie is right here:
Gets release in Feb.
If we include animated films, Ghost in the Shell blows most of the competition out of the water.

If we include anime, Miyazaki wins.
Never read the comics. The movie has no subtlety.
Regardless of the quality of the film, I'm going to say it doesn't count in this discussion because it's a rare case.If we include anime, Miyazaki wins.

It's an adaptation of a comic.
The V for Vendetta movie would have been a lot better if it had been more faithful to the comic's TV speech, which was easily my favorite part of it.

This film is an abomination. An outright travesty. Constantine deserves far, far better treatment than that bullshit. One of my favorite comic book characters demoted to Keanu Reeves film status.
Name another movie based off a graphic novel that has won the Palme dOr?
Everybody going out of their way to not mention The Avengers. LOL

LOLOLOLOLOL x infinity.Let's discuss the ACTUAL best comic-book film.

Let's talk about V for Vendetta.[/IMG]
I also liked it.
Never read the comics so I really enjoyed it for what it is with no baggage or expectations
Castle of Cagliosto then?

TDK is the best comic book film, it doesn't even fucking come close
