Does anyone agree with me here? I felt that one of them was the Watchmen. Although they did the best they could to portray the comic I doubt anyone could ever do a better job at portraying the story and characters than the comic does. They did the best they could to adapt it to a mainstream hollywood movie while staying true to the fans, but it left much to be desired.
Another one I can think of is Wanted. The comic is just too much fantasy to ever be takin seriously as a movie and the adaptation ended up completely changing the storyline and characters. Not to mention I thought it was a bad movie that completely deviated from the comic only to ripoff fight club and the matrix.
Can anyone think of any comic book adaptations that were good but not close to as good as the comics? Better yet, are there any comics that you personally believe should not be adapted to the silver screen since the story can't be genuinely expressed in a better way than a comic format?
