That is so very classic Superman, though.

And I don't understand how people can stomach a baby surviving interstellar travel inside a comet made of crystal and a guy who can fly in the first place but it's the whole Earth spinning backwards that is unrealistic. Superman has always been about completely impossible, outlandish stuff. The very nature of the character itself has been that way from the beginning.

Read some of the original Supes comics. Watch the Fleischer toons. Read the John Byrne revival. Nothing Donner did in the original movie betrayed the tone and theme of those... not even the Earth-spinning.

If you can believe that a gamma bomb makes you big a green super strong man, a radioactive spider can give you super powers or a man that can heal so well you can line his bones with steel, you should believe that a baby can fly in a crystal ship.

And besides, it was made Marlon Fauking Brando!!!!

Oh and the Fleischer Toons are the best Superman stories as well as the best comic hero toons ever made. They look great even to todays animation.

Agreed on all counts.

Today's cartoons could easily replicate the feel of the Fleischer era. Unfortunately many cartoon done today are too stylized or trying waaay too hard. Fleischer's greatness came from the simplicity.

 

[IrishJedi]

The Dini/Timm toons were as close as we're ever likely to get to the Fleischer look, feel and tone.

I'd say between Marvel and DC yes, but I'd give a nod to Hellboy as one of the best ever Comic films...

...and on that note, when can I order this bad mother^^^^er!?!

I agree 1000%.

Once again Israel speaks the truth!!!


IMO it's the most acurate comic to film conversion ever. The problem with HB is that he's a niche character that not everybody can understand and enjoy.

Strictly comic-based superhero movies:

1. Superman ('78)/Superman II
2. Iron Man
3. Spider-Man 2
4. X2
5. Batman Begins (the final act keeps this from being in the Top 3)

I think The Incredible Hulk is good, but a tad overrated already. To me it's nowhere near as good as the 5 on this list.

Out of the DC/Marvel movies that's how I'd rank them as well.

Batman Begins, like several people have already stated, starts great but the ending is flat and boring.

 

[OSCORP]

I dunno how it got to this but.

1. Superman the movie/II
2. Iron Man
3. Spider-Man
4. BB
5. X1

Accurate? I'm no Hellboy expert, and in fact I've only read a few of the comics after seeing the movie, but I was struck at how many differences there were between the comic and the movie. The character of Prof. Broom and his relationship to Hellboy, the character of Kroenen, the lack of any romance between Liz and Hellboy -- it goes on and on.

That's not to say that Hellboy isn't both a great movie and a great comic, but they made a lot of changes -- Mignola said that the told Del Toro to make his own version of Hellboy and not be constrained by what he did in the comic, and that's what he did.

I like hellboy, but the movie lacks a good ending IMO, the octopus was so easily taken out that even a single sammual gave hb more trouble.

I didn't mean the exact story but more of the "feel" of the movie and character.

Iron Man or any of the other Marvel/DC films are "exact" accurate either. Name me one that's an EXACT adaptation. There isn't.

I didn't see Tony Stark in Vietnam in Iron Man or Ra's Al Guhl in Bob Kane's Batman origin either.

Mignola said that the told Del Toro to make his own version of Hellboy and not be constrained by what he did in the comic, and that's what he did.

I don't know where you got that idea. Mignola gave him certain parameters that he had to keep before he even started on a rough script. That's the best thing about HB cause Mignola gave up absolutely no control of the character. He had last word on almost everything except the budget. Lucky for us, Mignola and Del Toro were friends before they made the movie and of course Del Toro was a fan of the books before the movie so he respected the source material. Also most of the major changes like Liz's character was Mignola's idea himself.

Pretty sure he said it in one of the documentaries on the Hellboy DVD. Have you watched them?
