Captain Howdy Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 It was one film was it not?Thus it was several stories combined into a single film. Watchmen is a single story in a single film, thus a truer adaptation! depends which version we're talking about....the directors cut was split into 4 seperate films.... When you talk about films, its the one that hits the cinemas by which you judge things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leykis101 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 can you believe that some people actually regard Morello as a better guitarist than Slash?!?! Dude, don't even get me started on Rage Against the Machine... when it came to politically charged rock, Warrior Soul did it 1000x better You want to hear something funny? google around a little bit, until you can find audio of a band called Downset! they are a hardcore/rap/crossover band that is literally from Compton, and Watts, it,s 3 Mexicans, 1 Aryan, and 1 Black, look for a song called Anger, he straight clowned Zach DeLarocha and Tom Morello the entire 2 hours they played live, on Anger singer says (about or to Zach DeLarocha) "Im coming straight from the L.A. concrete, true blue motherfucker about four generations deep, but whos the real motherfucking mole, and what does that fake know about motherfucking south central, Fool what you know about a set or a sign, fake motherfuckers never even seen a 9", when I catch him slippin punk Im gonna fade ya, cause I cant be down with those ghetto perpatraitors" I only know who he's talking about from seeing them live, when they dedicated that song to the "Pretty Little Jew Band" and "the band that gives you the point of view from the poor section of upperclass suburbia, they came from the projects where the average income is only $500,000, a year" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Leykis, I saw Downset live years ago ... they were opening for Testament (?) on the LOW tour in '94. That vocalist wouldn't shut the f**k up between songs. Every lead-in was like "This song is about how a woman in the third world is raped and brutalized every thirty seconds," "this next song is about the multinational corporations who are destroying our world and the people who are too stupid to wake up and realize it," yadda yadda yadda yadda -- if he would've quit making endless speeches they might've had time to add another song to the set. The Testament crowd didn't give a rat's ass about anything the guy was saying, unsurprisingly, so by about halfway thru their set they were getting boo'd pretty unmercifully. It wasn't till later that I noticed the similarities between them and RATM... both of them were overly political and quite annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like a lot of RATM's stuff just because it's a got a good groove, militant extremist I am not... but funky grooves and a lot of f bombs, count me in!

JamesEagle Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sin City was an amazing film and looked just like the comic, so gets my vote. Surely time for a new poll, with all the comic book adaptations released in the last 3 years? (Although I think I'll still be voting for Sin City...)

Gibbo Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 V For Vendetta, hands down. As an aside, my mate's brother is one of the Fingermen who gets his ass handed to him on a plate in the opening scene ... Hellboy was good, too ... not such a fan of Batman/Superman ... the first couple of X-Men films were okay, Iron Man was fantastic ... Um ...

My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted October 19, 2012 My Little Pony Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Watchmen is one of the tops, so are the new Batman films. Spidey I was good, while II and III sucked hairy tarantula balls. X-Men follows in Spiderman's footsteps. Fantastic Fours both sucked. Iron Man was great, The Hulk was better. V and Sin City were both great. Punisher was fun to watch but not a great movie--I haven't seen the new one, nor do I want to. And I didn't vote for any, 'cause I don't read comics, so I don't know how well the films follow the books. I'm almost done Watchmen. I've read a comic, now!! Hellboy, but it's not listed up there. While both films were not an adaptation of any book, they definitely paid respect to the series. I originally wasn't a big fan of the Golden Army, but after reading a few trade paperbacks, it's indubitably something that could appear in the Hellboy world. So, yeah, I still haven't voted.

Dark Star Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I kinda wish I could change My vote..Spider Man WAS Very good, but compared to The Dark Knight?? Or the more recent Dark Knight Rises??? Now THOSE were Awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredGarvin Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Kick-Ass, The Crow, 300, Ghost World, Road To Perdition, The Mask, Punisher: Warzone, Watchmen. But I voted for X-Men, even though I'm really voting for X2, which is still my favorite superhero movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big D Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hmm, I'd go with 300 or Sin City. Out of that list, though? X-Men - they managed to take the best elements of the comic and make some good movies. The worst: Catwoman - bore no resemblance to the comic whatsoever.

Fat Freddy Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I've never read the "Sin City" comic so the movie left me scratchin' my head a lot. Visually it was a trip, it just didn't seem to make a hell of a lot of sense. It gets bonus points for Jessica Alba's half nekkid-ness though.
