Adaptated for Screen List
From pretty pictures to celluloid. My so far recommended favorites.

The most fun and exciting adaptation so far. This is my perfect comic book film/movie. Able to combine good acting with blockbuster movie tropes. The measurement of story to acting to action is nicely spread.
Almost shot for shot, a page from a comic book come to life. Almost perfect.
Who would've thought a comic book character would become mass appeal praise as a Film, not a movie, a Film. Don't know the difference? Daredevil, Fantastic Four, X Men adaptations, those are trashy movies, throw those away. Christopher Nolan and David S Goyer, reinvented mainstream audiences perceptions from cartoony trash to serious engaging Film.
They should call this 'date movie'. " It's terrible - I love it - it's about this..." With a sequel on the way it can go either way.
Mark Dacascos and Christophe Gans. What a winning team. Also checkout Brotherhood of the Wolf, another team up. Also there's a OVA version, its alright.
David S. Goyer, is there anything he can't do? From blaxploitation stereotype to struggling anti-hero. Too bad this has now become the recipe for all reboots, when anyone wants to create a backstory, just make it dark and brooding. Example Tomb Raider reboot. Shudder.
The falling out between Goyer and Snipes is a bummer and explains Trinity - fark, that movie is as bad the Resident Evil films. - Also don't let Goyer direct.
A true darkhorse of Marvel Films, brutal unflinching violence. One of the few films that I want to see a sequel to.
Fuck that Warzone piece of shit, my god was that awful. Cheesy garbage.
As close as they've gotten so far. It wasn't perfect, Karl Urban's Dredd was spot on. I hope there will be a sequel in a non-canonical way.
I remember when this film came out (2002), and there was still a weirdo gorehound cult of Miike fans going around. You'd know if you saw Full-Metal Yakuza, Dead or Alive, Audition, or one my all time favorite films Fudoh: The Next Generation (also a manga adaptation) all brutally violent and subversive in dealing with Japans treatment of womyn to disenfranchised youth and their treatment in society. This is I did not like the manga that it was loosely adapted from.
Badass action flick akin to 80s-90s violence for the sake of. Light on the backstory (which is kinda cool). Also most of the production was made in Australia.
Fun adaptation.
Now I want to see that Hellboy meets the animals of Beasts of Burden film adaptation. Just don't do second rate CGI animals from Dreamworks.
The name Sam Raimi can cause a rift. You're gonna get Evil Dead of Xena. But I really enjoyed Spider-Man.
Bryan Cranston as Gordan - BADASS!
I actually like the film adaptation, not very immersive but it captured some of the tone and the sets were pretty good, though they didnt focus too much on it.
Wow! did this come out of left field. Evans as the wise crackin' Jensen was perfect.
Thanks DC films, for Losers and RED, no more superhero movies please, just Vertigo stuff. How about Bite Club? Post-modern vampires are still cool right?
I thought it was alright probably the best Alan Moore adaptation thus far. Trust an Australian and the Wachowskis.
