] Date Posted: 11:00:26 02/04/05 Fri Ok, I'm gonna write my choices for the top 10 comic book movies up til now... agree, disagree, whatever. in no particular order... Punisher (best adaptation I've seen yet, the entire fight with the Russian was taken straight from the pages of War Journal, amazingly done) The Crow (first one, though I do like the other two, they in no way lived up) Superman (pretty much the whole series was good, but this was the best, come on... kneel before Zod! that's great stuff!) Batman (first one, 2 and 3 were ok, 4th one was crap. period.) Tank Girl (ok, I owe Erin for this one, but Lori Petty was just fun in this movie, not to mention, I think Naomi Watts looked great with black hair) Blade II (I enjoyed the whole trilogy, part of me just liked the second alot, and it's too often underrecognized as the movie that really kick started Marvel's movies going. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (An excellent animated feature, the director's cut is so well done, and in my oppinion, while Nicholson was great, Mark Hammill's voice is the ultimate for the joker) X-2 (Nightcrawler was always one of my favs, and the introduction of pyro, plus the fleshing out of some of the secondary characters just brings this one more to the forefront for me) Ghost World (I know I know, you've never heard of it, well, it was Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansen, and the immortal Steve Buscemi starred in this off beat skewwed comedy, I totally enjoyed it) The Mask (it was a comic long before it was a movie, although pretty much all the story about how the mask caused the wearer to be kind've possessed by Loki, the Norse trickster god, the movie was still enjoyable *warning, the upcoming ?sequel? looks to go more into the mythology of it, but really... do we want another Mask movie?*) so there you have it... for now... I have a feeling with all of the upcomings like batman begins, fantastic four, and constantine... there could be some really good stuff on the way. piece [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:32:33 02/04/05 Fri The Russian was Kevin Nash you know. I don't think I really have a definitive list, I don't even know if I could list all of the ones I've seen. I've heard of Ghost World, but never seen it... Since I have nothing better to do I will list all the comic films I've seen... The Crow (1,2 and 3) Underworld The Punisher Hellboy Daredevil Spiderman (1 and 2) Blade (1 and 2, not 3 yet, all I know about it was that HHH was in it) X-Men (1 and 2) The Hulk The Mask Batman (All 4 and the old one of the series) Flash Elektra Captain America Superman Supergirl (I hate when they try to make female versions) The Shadow The Phantom The Matrix (1) Men in Black (1 and 2) I can't really think of any more...

Date Posted: 14:32:07 02/04/05 Fri Do Underworld and Matrix count as comic book movies? I believe they were movies first, comics second. And you know... I'd forgotten that MIB was a comic book first. It actually was a pretty enjoyable movie. Did you ever see the old Hulk movie spun off of the tv show w/ Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno? It was sooo great. And Yeah, Nash was really good in the movie, not his first role ever, despite (or possibly due to) the lack of speaking he's managed to pull off a menacing role in both punisher as the russian, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze as Super Shredder. :-) There were lots of good secondary role people in Punisher- Castle's Wife Maria was the girl who played Daisy in Super Mario Bros. and she was also great in Pump up the Volume w/ Christian Slater, then there was the lead guy from Jaws as Castle's dad. And Livia Saint, Howard Saint's wife was also in Mulholland Drive, with someone I had mentioned above from the movie Tank Girl- Naomi Watts. 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon Super Heroes edition anyone? :-P [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:13:18 02/04/05 Fri I'm pretty sure Underworld was a comic before film... still you could be right, I'll find out some time. Honestly, I justed asked somone about The Matrix, and I get an "I think so" yeah, that's really helpful, don't worry about going into a little more detail. I'm pretty sure I have done, but that must have been when I was about 5, so i don't remember too much of it... I remember The Hulk have interesting hair... I always thought it was a little odd to choose Nash as Super Shredder, I mean what's the point of having a famous wrestler in your film if you're not going to show his face. Or did they show his face? it's been a good 4 years since I last saw TMNT2... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
