    So the other day i decided to watch the league of exraordinary gentlemen after reading the novels again, i  have also seen v for vendetta , watchmen and from hell " and own novels".  All of which differ from the novels in strange and i feel often stupid ways , but which is the worst in your opinion?
     
    iam split between the watchman and the league myself

    They've all been pretty awful but I would have to go with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

    @hdorman1:  as an englishman i dont like the bolting on of tom sawyer and making him the hero of the piece at all , and the whole wimping out of hyde and griffin. granted novel is a little dark but thats all part of the charm. 
     
    As fro watchmen it ruined the twist and spoiled the ending hugely

    they may have done the right thing with watchmen
    i dont see how a giant 'alien' could transfer to the silver screen

    League.  I was hideously ill at the time, and didn't have the strength to reach for the remote control.  That's my only excuse for watching it all the way through :p

    League of Extraordinary Gentleman.
     
    Watchmen is one of my favorite movies of all time.

    @hdorman1:  to be honest i disagree mostly becuase the randomness and suprise of teh novel is what makes the end so good, the movie version lacks both hte suprise and depth of novel. Granted a giant alien would be hard to get right but the end they come up wasnt great either so would of been worth trying.
     
    also the whole fighting in watchman is crazy for example the alley fight scene is just wrong the charecters involved hate rorshachs violent methods then go around snapping attempted muggers limbs lol.

    V for Vendetta was wrong in too many ways to list.Watchmen was great and the ending was better than the comic.

    League, most assuredly. 
     
    Watchmen gets ahead with its superior performances. 
     
    V, as a movie, was quite watchable.  Even if it differed considerably from the book.
