Best movie based on a comic you've never read?

[Chris Wallace]

And I mean NEVER read a single issue. My pick would be, of course, "V for Vendetta", followed by "Sin City", then "The Crow".

[Kable24]

Sin City and the Crow for me as well. I've also seen Road to Perdition which is great. A History of Violence, LXG and From Hell without reading the source material. I read V for Vendetta way back in 1994. My boss had the book. I think Sin City is the best of the ones I've seen.

[Silver Sable]

Sin City

[The Chairman]

Sin City as well. I had never even heard of it before the film came out.

[Erundur]

Sin City, V for Vendetta and Road to Perdition I hadn't read any of those comics until after the film came out, I did not even know that they would of been any good until watching it at my local theater.

but all 3 films were very very good :up:

[CConn]

American Splendor and The Crow.

[CrimsonMist]

The Crow(only becuase everytime i want to read it, i never find it. When im not interested in reading it, i find it, but alas, i never have the money), Road to Perdition and A History of Violence

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Hellboy, Constantine an' LXG.

[Kable24]

I forgot about Hellboy.

[3dman27]

Sin City

[Chris Wallace]

Am I the only "V" fan who hasn't read it?

[Mister J]

V For Vendetta
The Crow
Sin City

[LastSunrise1981]

Sin City
Constantine
V For Vendetta
From Hell

[deathshead2]

hellboy and a history of voilence

[3dman27]

Hellboy, Constantine an' LXG.
i agree except that the PROPER abbriviation for the league of extraordinary gentlemen is LOEG fox just used LXG to draw in x-men fans

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Mind over matter; I don't mind an' it don't matter. Long as it get's th' point across, it's golden.

[TheFalcon]

Hellboy is the best one, but I've also seen Hulk, Sin City, Constantine and LXG without having read the comics.

[Trevor Goodchild]

First, a question just to be specific - do you mean only the ones, the source material of which you actually will never read (or at least don’t plan to), or the ones that actually got you in reading their source material later on also count?
Well anyways, the only ones that got me so impressed that I actually feel worthy of mentioning are Sin City (I got all of the books after I saw it) and A History of Violence (never even heard it was based on a comic till recently).
There are of course several others but they didn’t impress me that much like those two did.

[Chris Wallace]

Those count. I saw "Sin City" & subsequently read "The Hard Goodbye", since it came w/the DVD. I plan on reading V when my comic shop gets some more copies in. It seems to be in high demand for some odd reason.

[thedeadite]

Hulk, Constantine, Ghost World

[WallCrawl]

American Splendor, Ghost World, then Road to Perdition.

[realestmutant45]

sin city

[spiderman30]

BATMAN BEGINS & V for Vendetta

[PWN3R]

Hellboy and V for me.

[Alpha and Omega]

Hmmm, that's tough. My favorite comic book movie is Batman Begins, but it wasn't based on comics. It was influenced by the Batman graphic novels, and James Bond novels. . . or so Goyer claimed.

I'd have to say Spider-man.

[Trevor Goodchild]

Oh, I forgot - Ghost in the Shell.
Both of 'em great.
Now am waiting for one of the two graphic novels to arrive.

[Bat Attack]

V for Vendetta

[Cinemaman]

Constantine (7/10) and The Crow (8/10).

[skorponok]

A History of Violence and Road to Perdition...I believe I've read from the rest.

[Chris Wallace]

Hulk, Constantine, Ghost World
Hulk is a bit of a surprise. Most of these are independent/lesser known books.

[32CAGE]

The Matrix

[Rob H]

American Splendor and I still haven't read any Pekar.

I hadn't read Ghost World before seeing the film either.

Both great films.

[Hellion]

Hellboy

[MODOK]

Sin City and Constantine

[Dwarf lord]

V for Vendetta. Though soon to be replaced with A History of Violence.

[Chris Wallace]

You don't know that; you might not like "History". Or you could end up reading it before you see it.

[Kanon]

The Addams Family

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Addams Family started as a comic? Well ****, so it did. Go figger.

[skorponok]

That's a little odd that some of you haven't read Hulk...

[SuperFerret]

V for Vendetta (I read the book afterwards)
Sin City (tried reading it, art hurt eyes)

[S_H_F_4839]

I would say, The Crow, and A History of Violence, haven't seen V for vendetta yet, maybe in the future, I will alter my list.

[Chris Wallace]

That's a little odd that some of you haven't read Hulk...
That's what I said. Even more odd that they liked the movie, which was probably the most wildly unpopular Marvel film ever.
