Rex's 10 Greatest Comic-to-Movie Adaptions

[Maximus Rex]

5)

Some niggas weren't feeling Toby Macguire as Spidey, but you naysayers have to admit when you came out out of the theater after saying Spidey 2, you were "on one." I know I was. I immediately said to myself, "That was greatest comic-to-movie adaption ever. The shit was dope, especially the Spidey/Doc Oc fight on the train, (regardless of the fact that Manhattan doesn't have elevated trains, I can look pass that.) Spidey 2 was hot.

4

The Avengers was just on some hot shit, though the fanboy in my would have prefered Ant/Giantman and the Wasp as opposed to Hawkeye and The Black Widow, I must admit they did they're thing, beside ScarJo is a badass white girl. The movie easily could have been an issue of Ultimates. Again as with Blade niggas would have thought you were fully if shit, if you told them that The Avengers would get a movie before the JLA.

3

This is hard choice because #2 and 3 are equal in overall dopeness, but in the end, I had to rate Kick Ass number three due to the dramatic change in the ending from the comic book to the movie. This is one movie that I wish I saw in the theater, shit was just that hot and Hit Girl is a fucking beast. I'm anxiously awaiting the new installment in August, and I'm also going on record to say that Kick Ass 2 might be better than Man of Steel

2 I saw the commerical for 300 and I was like, "Damn they figthing like a muthafucka on this shit. I need to go check this out.[/i] How can you not go see a movie when a nigga screams, "THIS IS SPARTA!", then kicks niggas in a pit. I saw this shit on IMAX, when the fight sequences came, I was like, "What....The....Fuck!" To say 300 went hards is a gross understament. This one of those movies when you leave the theather you feel good about life. Shit was simply epic, and like The Watchmen a fateful adaption of the comic book, even down to the look and feel. I hope the sequel is as dope as the first one.

Nuff said. I feel bad for the next dude to play The Joker in the eventual Batman reboot. Seriously, how do you top Heath Ledger's performance or do you even try? What take do you put on the character to make him your own. I heard a rumor that is Ledger's dumb ass did OD, that was suppose to be The Joker as the judge in TDKR instead of the Scarecrow, that would have been an ill ass cameo. Niggas would have lost their minds. I'm still pissed at Ledger, the nigga dope fiend ass denied the fandom what was definitely going to be another Nolan Batman/Joker movie.

Man shut the fuck up

Instead of tellin' niggas to "Shut the fuck up?" Why don't you devote that time to finding hotter chicks to put in your signature pic. That bitch is weak as fuck.

I agree pretty much with the list but the Richard donner cut of superman 2 shits on the original in so many ways. also the tim burton batman movies are 2 of my favorites. no body gives blade credit for breathing new life into the modern era superhero genre period it was the first of a new era. no love for sin city? months ago I stated on youtube that the joker would have been good for that court scene in the dark knight rises. I could actually hear " sold to the man in cold sweat in ledgers voice"

Never saw it, I have to peep that shit.

calso the tim burton batman movies are 2 of my favorites.[/quote]

Batman is cool, but overrated, however if I was doing a "Top 15, Batman and Batman Begins would have made the list. The other Burton Batman movies are wack ass fuck.

no body gives blade credit for breathing new life into the modern era superhero genre period it was the first of a new era.

Who doesn't give Blade props? If Blade would have bricked, it would have taken that much longer for X-Men and Spider-Man to come out.

no love for sin city?

Except for Jessica Alba shaking her ass and those H.A.M. hoes, I didn't like Sin City. Maybe it was due to the analogy format they tried to use. It might have been better if they stuck to just one story and though Miller's style was hot in the comic, it didn't lend itself well to film. As a matter of fact I might would put Sin City in a WOAT Comic Book-to-Movie adaption.

Never seen Watchmen. im gonna have to watch that. Good list tho, i enjoyed most of the movies. Glad to see Kick ass so high on the list cuz that was a fantastic movie imo. I didnt see it in theaters because i thought it was gonna be dumb as fuck. Then i finally saw it like 3 years after if came out of dvd and i was shocked at how good it was.

 

[Splackavelli]

burton had nothing to do with the other two batman when the art/production designer passed away burton left the franchise and joel "car wash Schumacher took over as director. that's why the other 2 were so dayglo and campy. I like batman returns as much as batman. avengers made me forget about watchmen or the fact that any other super hero team was brought to film. avengers is how super hero team movies should be done.

 

[CracceR]

I have to rewatch most of them to make a list

But my faves are watchmen, sin city and spidey 2

 

[major pain]

jean shorts tho mah nigga?

 

[Maximus Rex]

jean shorts tho mah nigga?

I like those shorts, the only reason why I'm going to rotate them out is because baggy ain't un style anymore. I going to get cargos, some new jean shorts, comic book tees, tees with my teams, and some polos.

I like batman returns as much as batman.

Me too. I always go back and forth between them when I want to rewatch though I do enjoy Batman more. I watched that movie damn near everyday as a kid back when it first hit VHS. It's still the most iconic and definitive portrayal of Batman (not Bruce Wayne) himself on the silver screen IMO.

He's mysterious and imposing and says enough with his presence and body language instead of always with dialogue just like it is in the comics. Pretty impressive to see convincingly done with a guy who was 5'9. Burton's Batman movies are 2 of the only mainstream comic book movies that truly understood that like cinema the comic book medium is as visually expressive as the dialogue.

we couldve done w/o the picture of u...look like it was taken in 1995 at a phatfarm sale

 

[Broddie]

I didn't read that nigga's list at first. Then I looked at his Spidey 2 blurb to see his reasoning cause I always disliked that movie (the first one is still the best one) and saw this

"Manhattan doesn't have elevated trains"

Yes we do.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

I find all superman movies to be wack.

 

[HarlemThumzUp]

superman 2 is GOAT...Zod was that nigga !!

I need 2 see this film I like Paul Giamatti he's a great actor.

 

[Swiffness!]

this nigga said Sin City was WOAT...........i'm at a utter lauce for words @ that blasphemy. That shit is like saying Supreme Clientele was one of the worst solo Wu albums. The only "comic book film" that actually LOOKS like a comic book. smh

no Hellboy? no First Class? no X2? no Punisher? no V for Vendetta? no Begins? Rex stay w/ these unorthodox-ass opinions, b.

Watchmen was a "good enough" adaptation of something that's essentially unadaptable.

300 is a fucking homoerotic fantasy lmao

Kick Ass was good but Top 3 ALL TIME? foh

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Sin City was GOAT

 

[Broddie]

I need 2 see this film I like Paul Giamatti he's a great actor.

Yeah definitely one of the great character actors of the last 25 yrs. If I actually gave a fuck about most superhero movies I would watch the new Spidey just to see him as The Rhino. But I don't so I won't.

no tmnt?
