Choose your fave comic book based film
Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Round 5 is now under way and its films based on comics or comic book characters. A wide range to choose from this week.
Next week is films with a name in the title. (ie Whatever happened to Baby Jane)
Here are the nominations (where given) reasons:
Remember to vote for your fave 2 films
Superman (1977) - childhood dream come true for me to see a real-life version of Superman, saw it at least 5 times during the summer holidays when it was released
X-men Origins
The only thing you need to know about this film is it has Wolverine in it. The coolest of all comic book characters.
Kick-Ass - An 11 year old said the c-word. The whole film was hilarious. Nicolas Cage was actually good in something. Lyndsey Fonseca was in it.
The Dark Knight - The best comic book film out there due to the fact it managed to change this genre and now most comic book films are trying to be just like it as we can see with the rebooted spiderman which wanted to be darker, gritty just like TDK this film changed a genre and raised the bar of comic films it is truly the best out there, from ledger's outstanding performance of the joker to it keeping you on the edge of your seats and the quotes in this film made it a better experience and personally my fav film of all time.
V for Vendetta - ""Remember, remember, the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot." Powerful words from a powerful film, Hugo Weaving's portrayal of the masked vigilante V representing the greatest comic book transformation in film history. V for Vendetta is a truly brilliant film, one that captures all the fear of the populace, the bravado of V, and a very stark reminder of how bad fascism would be for us all. Vote for V!!!
Men: First Class - After the disaster of X-Men: The Last Stand came this, a brilliant cast and new direction and a fantastic film. Saved The X-Men series from becoming a joke.
Blade - The daywalker (Wes Snipes) kicks Vampires ass in this action film. The beginning scene with the rave in a underground meat locker raining blood and a top class tune pumping is one of the best scenes I've witnessed in a film.
Watchmen for its dark mix of humour, realism, philosophy and excellent characterisation with unpredictable plot.
Iron Man - made comic book characters cool again. forget your dark stroppy knights. This was a fun, dazzling and relatively unknown superhero who came from leftfield to show us a new type of superhero - the celbrity one. Robert Downey Jr got it spot on.
Avengers Assemble - You like Iron Man? It's got it. You like Hulk? It's got that too. You like Captain America? Seriously what's wrong with you, but it's got that as well.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Had to vote for Watchmen as well as my own selection (cos that's how I roll). It was a great film and so many people I know seem to suggest it was rubbish, but I was gripped by it. The opening credits alone is worth watching.

Doh!
I changed my film at the last minute (I go last usually).
Was going to go for Tim Burtons Batman which would have hopefully taken votes away from the Dark Knight!

Went for Kickass and Superman. Would have picked Batman Begins, had it been nominated.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Was expecting this to be another category with too many good choices, but I find a number of the nominations quite surprising (and omissions too).
Being really picky, the Donner Superman was 1978. The year prior to that was dominated by Star Wars!

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
When for the Dark Knight as the nomination says its probably the text book for all comic book movies going forward and 2nd choice Sin City one of my favourite films and Jessica Alba in leather

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
I have gone for Superman as it is (imo) not only the best comic book film but by far the best film ever made.
Also went for X Men 1st Class. Really enjoyed that and thought it was the strongest of the X Men franchise.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
I went for The Dark Knight which, in my opinion, is not only the best comic book film but one of the best films ever. Not many films have made me feel that amazed after I left the cinema.
My second film I went for was Kick Ass which managed to get the balance between comedy and action just right to create a really good film.
I'm surprised at how many poor films in that list, I'm even more surprised at how many people have gone for Superman, the worst superhero, and Watchmen which I thought was an excruciatingly boring film save for some cool moments. I understand that the comic/graphic novel where it was adapted from is actually supposed to be very good but I thought the film was average, considered the praise I'd heard from it, I was massively disappointed.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Its funny that the Crow hasnt had a bite yet bearing in mind its similarities to Batman.
As for Watchmen, having read the graphic novel and the watched the Snyder movie, I actually prefer the movie and think it is a more compact, compelling story.
the GN is hugely overated.
The movie is ideal for Snyders visuals.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
The Dark Knight and Watchmen, both dark, both introspective and both bothering to look at real themes

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Watchmen, the film, was good and a very faithful adaptation, but lacked the nuances that the GN had, and which could only be done in GN form - for example, the 'Fearful Symmetry' issue.
Whilst the denouement of the GN was slightly lacking, the rest of it remains right up there as one of the best the medium has ever produced.

I found the whole comic within a comic (the cannibal pirate sailor thingy which I cant remember the name of) draining on the GN.
I also think the idea of a giant squid completely stupid too!

I didn't go for it as I thought relatively few people would have see it but my actual vote would go to Persepolis in an ideal world

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
I think if you focus on 'Tales of the Black Freighter' (which I also struggled with) and the squid, then you're missing out on the main genius of Watchmen, which is not the plot, but the characters, the themes and juxtaposition of separate, but related words and images - "Ground floor comin' up", "It all came pouring out" etc.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
I had to go for Watchmen and Sin City as they are closest to the source material. The Sin City comics are almost a story board for the film it is that close, including the posing of the actors.

Just a reminder for the next round - films with names in the title.
Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
I am amzed that Avengers Assemble is doing so well.
It was alright but not great ( I thought that all of the component films were way better)

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
I went for the only two films of those I actually liked. Dark Knight is an amazing film in so many ways, whilst Sin City was interesting and clever, although nowhere near as good as Batman. Batman also happens to be one of the only comic book heroes who I dont hate. And getting a small girl to say the C word to bring attention to your film is classy as hell.
Edit: I didnt see Blade, Blade was fun. Im being harsh on Watchmen too, I enjoyed it to some extent but it was up itself.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Obviously, this is subjective - but one objective measure you could take as a proxy of popularity is box office gross. [Yes, I know it's not scientific - I happen to think that the 2 biggest grossing films of all time are overrated]
There are 2 (if not more?) films in the nominations which have busted the $1bn category - and Avengers is one of them. So I can't say I'm surprised (particularly as I voted for it!).
One of my surprises is that none of the Spider-Man films features - I think at least Spider-Man 2 also broke through the billion barrier.

Luis Suarez would have problems nibbling on Helena. I found the film a bit weird, for obvious reasons. Rocky could be a winner in this round?

One of the worst films I've ever seen although Watchmen was also shiversomely bad.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Voted yesterday but didn't leave comment
I went for the crow and avengers
Avengers purely because of that final half hour which just absolutely incredible
Can't really give a reason for the crow, just remember watching it years ago and thought it was brilliant and have done ever since

Think you need some tougher criteria there. But my votes are pledged to Dr Strangelove and Life of Brian.

I can't believe V for Vendetta hasn't done better. That film put V on centre stage and he delivered big time.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
I am very surprised that none of the following were included:
Spiderman
Spiderman 2
Spiderman 3
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
The Incredible Hulk
The Amazing Spiderman
Batman
I'm not saying these films should be included (except Batman, still the best Dark Knight film imo) just that I thought at least 1 or 2 would have been selected. They were all released since the turn of the century (except BM) and are 'fresh in the memory'.

Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
Everyone who has sent them has been received okay and are valid.
Re: Films based on comics - Round 5 of the movie Cup
went with Dark Knight and V for Vendetta in the end.
Dark Knight an easy choice for me, just an awesome film which as written re-defined the genre. In fact I'd argue it re-defined the genre not just of comic-book films but action films in general since have tended to all be very gritty or "Nolan-like", not always with great success unfortunately.
The second choice was harder. Out of the films on the list I really enjoyed Kick-Ass, V for Vendetta and X-Men: First Class. I also liked the Avengers in a different style (just a couple of hours of great fun), The Crow is a good film too, and I also liked Iron Man (though mostly for Downey Junior's performance, the rest of the film isn't that great) and Superman of course.
Not quite sure how X-Men: Origins got in, though it was pretty awful TBH and actually prefered all three of the original trilogy films (yes, even the last one...). Also found Watchmen a bit meh, watched it before reading the GN (which blew me away) and the characters really lack depth compared to their GN selves for me.
Haven't seen the others so can't comment there.
